Nope, mine is also directly hooked up and not one of those stupid misting types. Frigging power washer.
Maybe you have way less hair down there, or you somehow manage to eat enough fiber, or maybe you just don't know what a truly clean asshole is, but let me tell you, water is NOT enough for many, many kinds of less than perfectly healthy movements.
Also, the tell isn't necessarily in the immediate smell. I should've specified a lot better: Water can trap particles that otherwise would get in the air. The real tell is later, after everything's dry and your ass has been rubbing on your underpants for a while. If you can peel off your underpants and only smell normal sweat smell, that's clean.
As an analogy, think of how scientists test for the presence of bacteria. It's not sampling a surface and taking a whiff. They let that shit grow in a petri dish first. That's what you're doing with your ass at all times. Sniffing it right after is akin to sniffing the raw sample, when your ass is going to be the petri dish either way.
Yeah, a bidet alone isn't enough to get you clean. It does most of the work, but it's going to leave remnants that need to be wiped. It's not a matter of water pressure either. Mine has a stream that will reach the other side of the bathroom at full power, but there's still going to be debris.
