[John Doe]

I am white. My family is Eastern European. When I was a baby my mom bathed me with a washcloth. When I got old enough to wash myself, I also knew that my parents didn’t use washcloths so I stopped using them and never have, since. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even know what to use it for when an arab-american friend offered me one at a sleepover. When he noticed it unused, I admitted that I never used one. He thought that was weird and even gross that I would wash myself with just my hands. His mom also seemed taken aback. I, in turn, thought that it was rather puritanical of him and his family to be afraid of having his bare hands wash his body. I still maintain that it’s much easier to get clean using your hands, It’s all soap and water in the shower– no harm in washing any and every part barehand. Who needs the cloth??? A few swipes with a washcloth does not get you clean. You have to scrub, and that is easiest when done barehand. 🙂 I could understand females exfoliating with those hand-mitts or whatever. My wife (caucasian, American w/ english/Irish background) has always used a washcloth. She and I playfully debate the issue sometimes. I actually fake using one, for politeness, when I visit her grandparents. I don’t want to weird them out like I did my friend. Washcloth use may be somewhat controlled by ethnicity (or perhaps religious anti-masturbation taboo??? Which is useless anyway cause I know someone who used to get themselves off rubbing with a slippery washcloth, but I digress) but I don’t think it’s a white/black thing, per se.
