Sorry to say this but it sounds like you're just trying to come up with any and all excuses to shoot down a valid idea.

I'm just trying to convey my experiences with bathroom remodeling on my own house. Anyone is free to listen or ignore my advice. I never said it wasn't a valid idea. It's just a hard and expensive one. You guys will find out once you become home owners in the future. Also a Japanese toilet costs the same as a cheap car. If you haven't already guessed, I wanted one for my bathroom for years now. It's just not practica…

You don't need a full unit - you can just do the seat:

That + drywall + electrical is maybe ~$2500.

Sounds like the only expensive part is if you already have expensive deco.

I think if I got mud on, say, my inner thigh, I'd still want to clean it off. With water.

If I was, say, playing football with friends, and somehow got mud on my inner thigh, I might wipe it off with paper, and then later take a shower.

I might use just paper if water wasn't available, sure. But I'd certainly use water if I had the choice.
