my mouth is your mouth...

Hmm, slow news day and it's Monday. You know what that means... Time for an old poll question!

OK, now here's a funny one: Would you share your toothbrush with your significant other?
12% of you guys say sure
87% of you guys say heck no

Wow, 87% said no? I'm really surprised. I figured it would be the other way around...

Granted, I've never been in the position where I've needed to do it or vice versa but I'm not adverse to the idea. I mean, we're a couple, right? And in my mental Mitzi Dictionary, that means that dude and I have swapped spit (amongst other bodily fluids) more than once, twice, thrice... You get the picture.

So then, what's the big deal about sharing a toothbrush?

Cause real talk, if it's between that and my better half walking around with a yuck mouth for an extended period of time, by all means- have at it. God forbid, someone ever has to say, "You know, he's a great guy and all BUT Mitzi's boyfriend has the WORST breath!"

Uugh I would DIE.

And not for nothing, doesn't everyone clean off their toothbrushes in hot water when they finish brushing? So it's not like I'm asking to use his dirty dental floss... Right?

*crickets*

Oh wait, I get it! Is this just one of those boundaries issue? Like how, even on the hottest day in hell I will never, ever ever share a bikini with anyone? No? Its bigger than that? Well in that case, you tell me, why does the idea of sharing your toothbrush with someone (who's prob already put a private part in your mouth) gross you out?

  3. I'm with you Mitzi. People kill me with what they WON'T do; yet, given the right circumstances/right amt of alcohol would and have done way worse than using the clean toothbrush of someone you have exchanged multiple other fluids with.

    My mate offered his toothbrush to me in a pinch which I, though originally grossed out, considered an act of intimacy. Maybe if we don't want to swap toothbrushes with a dude, we shouldn't be swapping much else either...hmmm?
