Every home I've done for a wealthy person, regardless of age, had bidets. But they're also rich enough to hire people to take care of them as they age.

Coming from a working class background, the perception of "European-ness" is the exact - and possibly only - reason your average American old dude wouldn't use one.

I've talked with elderly blue collar working class Australian's who've encountered { bidet's | jet washing arses } for the first time .. once they've used them they almost all 100% don't need convincing that they're desirable.

It's literally an ad campaign | marketing problem .. and given how popular pressure washing youtube videos are, there's one angle to work from :-)
