How "Clean" Can Be a Four Letter Word

terrence

People in Hollywood say stupid nonsense all the time. Be they actors, producers, directors, musicians or just well-connected hangers-on, the daft and misguided flock to La La Land, where they proceed to spew an abundance of shit so massive it could fertilize Idaho. But as ridiculous as most of these soundbytes tend to be, they are almost never frightening. Today, however, I read something legitimately eerie. These are excerpts from Hustle & Flow star Terrence Howard's recent Elle interview:

"I like women who look like me. Generally, you're attracted to women who look like you, because the most beautiful thing in nature is your own reflection."

On his relationship philosophy:

"If a relationship is built on sexuality, it won't last long. Now I'm completely chaste through a relationship unless I get married. I don't believe in premarital sex. It enabled me to date three or four women at the same time, because as long as I wasn't having sex with them, I could always just walk away. There were some [past girlfriends] who pushed for sex, and sometimes they won. Afterward, I would feel unclean, like I'd compromised my own values. So I would have to let them go because they didn't help me to be a stronger person."

On his deal-breaker:

"Toilet paper - and no baby wipes - in the bathroom. If they're using dry paper, they aren't washing all of themselves. It's just unclean. So if I go in a woman's house and see the toilet paper there, I'll explain this. And if she doesn't make the adjustment to baby wipes, I'll know she's not completely clean."

Maybe it's because I take issue with organizing my room and haven't done my own laundry in over a year, but it gives me the creeps to hear people say sex makes them feel dirty and that women—who don't poop, mind you—need to make an "adjustment" and wipe with baby wipes to stay clean. Ironically, reading about anal retentive, judgmental psychos like this makes me think the whole world is filthy.

    Most of that is a little bizarre to say the least. So did he think Naomi Campbell looked like his reflection? Because I'm not really seeing a similarity there.

    Well, my question is this: Why would he be bothered by the whole "dry paper- cleanliness of her nether-regions" situation until he was ready to marry the girl? Because from what he says, he's not getting anywhere near those nether-regions, anyway…

    I think if he uses baby wipes, that's grosser. Who wants their bung all wet? He should be using a wet/dry combo like Howard Stern does if he has those issues.

    Out of curiosity, does he have a receptacle just for the wipes in his bathroom? Because they're not supposed to be flushed.

    One of my former bosses felt it was his obligation to tell me and the only other female in the office to not flush our tampons. Except he said, "I just want to let you know that you need to wrap your sanitary items and put them in the trash receptacle." I was thinking, "No shit? I thought we were supposed hang them from the ceiling to dry."

    I haven't had a septic tank in about 4 years, but I was always very careful about what was flushed down the toilet when I had a house in the county. Less than a month after I bought the house the tank had to pumped…and the pipe that ran out to the tank had to be replaced.

    Lesson to you all: Find out what type of pipe was installed underground in any house you buy older than, say, 30 years (shouldn't be hard to find out when code started required PVC). This house had a kind that was basically cardboard covered in a thick tar, and it was obvious when the ground was dug up that there used to be a driveway that went right over the pipe. Needless to say, it was crushed.
