Or at least you can have an ass that smells like a peach. As always, the Japanese know how to make the toilet experience something transcendent. Or beyond words, I'm not sure. In any case, if you live in those horned isles (the title of a book about Japan by queer poet James Kirkup) you can now purchase pink toilet paper that gives your bum the fragrance of a fresh peach. Mmmm. Juicy. Many thanks to Ron in Tokyo for this latest for the queer product watch.
Of course, the Japanese plumbing supply company Toto doesn't much truck with toilet paper. On their new US website, CleanIsHappy.com,
they are finally selling the high-tech toilet seats to Americans that have been available to the Japanese for decades. And as one of the several spokespeople who is first introduced to us visually with a
picture of a smiling face on a perky posterior says, toilet paper just distributes the problem. Which is why this heated toilet seat with a bidet style spray calibrated to body temperature and angled just right, is followed by a jet of warm air to dry those places where the sun doesn't shine. Perhaps Toto can offer a peach fragrance spray and totally flush out the competition.
Not to knock Toto. I lived in Japan for 7 years, and I love those toilet seats. Whoever thought the porcelain throne would be such a hedonistic experience? I wonder what Dave Praeger, copywriter extraordinaire and author of Poop Culture would have to say about all of this.
