Hey yeah, i get it (or, to some extent) . I am chronically cold due to being a healthy weight and having poor circulation. I wear thermals and hoodies year round even when it’s 90+ out. But for me it’s the extremeties and my ass isn’t too bad.
But to be more constructive, since you know yourself better than anyone. If this is really a deal breaker then id look into getting an extra outlet installed in your bathroom which can vary on price depending on the type of wall (and their service minimum-- if you have other electrical needs you night be able to tackle all at once). It’s been a few years since i had a new outlet installed but i got it for around $250/ outlet. Might be as high as $400-500 for your set up.
And an electric Bidet lid with heated water will cost you $250-500 (maybe there are cheaper ones but I’m just going by some options i looked at for my partner).
Low end $500, high end $1000 for outlet+Bidet. I’m assuming you can install the Bidet lid yourself (it wasn’t hard, promise).
Now i can’t do the next math for you, so I’ll share my toilet math. Costco toilet paper is ~$24/30 rolls (I’m using the price online which may be higher than warehouse, but also closer to other stores). I used to go though a roll per week because my hairy ass loved to play marker with the TP. After i got a Bidet my TP usage dropped my at least 4x. A roll lasts me a long time. So if my weekly cost of TP used to be $1.25 then I’m saving $3.75/ month. And that’s just me maybe you have more people using the restroom. So saving $45/year. We’re looking at 10 years to break even from a cost perspective for the low end of things.
Ok, maybe that doesn’t make the most sense from a cost perspective. My cheapo bidet paid itself off within a year.
Outside of cost id say this:
i feel much cleaner.
Ass sweat doesnt feel like I’m making a poo swamp
my butt thanks me. No more raw asshole
if you’re in a house with septic system, less TP in the septic system. (This could potentially decrease the amount of time between pumps).
Sorry for the long message. I spent 3 decades thinking my sister was the weirdo for buying a Bidet and i wish i wouldve made the change sooner
Dude I don’t even drink cold water unless it’s a very hot day because I have precious little body heat and it takes a long time to get it back.
The idea of getting frozen by the crotch/butt does not amuse me.

This answer seems angry for no reason. So I guess you just reallly can’t chill.
Sorry, I’m not angry at you. I just got a pre-emptively emotional reaction to the prospect of being cold.
