I really want to know if this is theoretical or not. 🤣

It's for "special" parties that I attend once a month and may wish to host myself one day. 😉
Made me want to watch the bidet skit on snl https://youtu.be/zQx-ZbSQSBM
Lmao. That was good.
In all seriousness, if it wasn't obvious, it's for BDSM. Some people enjoy humiliation, and swirlies are about as humiliating as it gets. I'm just trying to figure out if that's even something to consider possible for now.
If you just clean it thoroughly with normal bleach it should be clean enough. Many pathogens in general don't like to "stick" too well to non-porous surfaces. You can disinfect a toilet easier than you can a carpet. It's just that usually you aren't shitting on your own carpeting lol!
Do you know of any way to test afterward to see if the toilet water is clean enough? It would be great to know for sure.
If you're this paranoid about it then maybe look for a different fetish 😉
I care about people's safety, okay? 😆
After talking with a friend and hearing the helpful answers here, I'm probably okay just cleaning the bowl and tank super thoroughly and leaving it at that.
If you really want to know, send a water sample to an analytical lab for fecal coliform analysis. Should run you less than $50.
You’d have to send it to a lab.
Bleach is literally going to kill everything in there. The bottle says 99.99% of bacteria and viruses only for legal reasons. Really it kills 100% when used properly.
Just bleach it twice, use a brand new scrubbing brush, hit the outside of the bowl and every little crevice you can see and you’ll be good to go.
uh
Yes, you could disinfect a toilet in many ways. You could subject it to a vacuum, heat it to a deadly temperature, put a bunch of UV lamps all around it, drown it in bleach or rubbing alcohol or even just clean it very thoroughly with soap.
There’s really no need to isolate a “dedicated” toilet from the rest of your plumbing system. If you don’t use it for bathroom business, a new, never used toilet isn’t much different than a sink.
The only issue might be the water in the tank getting stagnant and developing biofilm. The best way to prevent that would be to install a commercial-style toilet with a flushometer valve instead of a tank. Might also give you the “institutional” feel if that’s what you’re looking for.
Wtf is a toilet swirly, and why do you want to give people toilet swirlies?
Swirly is when you put a person's head in the toilet, usually just to top of the head to a persona forehead, and flush. The swirling effect of the water is where it gets the name from.
So... Anyone else here wondering what a toilet swirly is but is scared to look it up?
When the young lads dunk each other’s head in the loo, and give the flusher a pull
Dragging people down to my basement to give them safe and hygienic swirlies
Flush the toilet, and then clean it with bleach. For added protection, have the swirlee wear goggles, maybe earplugs and a nose plug, and have them close their mouth.
If you’ve watched Jackass, Steve-O volunteered to sit inside a porta-potty as it was hurled into the air. If you don’t mind seeing shit fly everywhere, you can look at the PPE he was wearing. Your swirly will be like that stunt, but much cleaner.
If the toilet isn't used, the water should be pretty clean, should just be using normal house water. You probably wouldn't want it to sit for too long, and it should be cleaned occasionally with something that will kill bacteria. If it's used infrequently, I'd turn the toilet off at the wall, then flush the toilet a few times to bleed out any standing water.
Also, if it's a kink thing, be sure to have some sort of safe gesture or dead man's switch or something. Or a snorkel, lol.
