Usually bathrooms are constructed in such a manner that you can reach the faucet while seated on the throne. The wash process is as follows:

1- Reach to the faucet and adjust desired water temperature appropriate for anus.
2- Take mini shower head while faucet is running.
3- Aim mini shower head at desired location.
4- Press button on mini shower head and the water running from the faucet is automatically redirected to the mini shower head.
5- Perform cleansing until posterior is squeaky clean.
Seems a superior solution since it minimizes the extra hardware required. Unfortunately none of my toilets are anywhere near the sink, although some are not far from the shower.

Adding a bidet that does warm water + dry requires an outlet nearby. I'd have to add an outlet to get my wife to even consider a bidet.

Probably in the future we'll look back on current US culture and view it similar to how we view outhouses and the Sears catalogue.
