The entire pubic area is a smorgasbord of bacteria and fecal matter, that's why...

Taste like really nice spinach.
In spring I'll wash my hands and pick some. [

As far as men.
Very few men piddle on their hands.
But, they will handle their Willy... which isn't sterile.
Not that anything on the body is sterile, but there is a class of diseases that hang out around people's privates.
It is also not a bad idea to wash one's hands a few times a day. Like checking one's oil at the gas station. One could do it other times, but it is a convenient place to check the oil.
