The opposite, actually - I'm Canadian. :)

All I can say is that if you've never tried a bidet before you'll likely be very surprised by how little sensitivity you've got to cold water down there. It's simply not uncomfortable or even particularly noticeable, either in my experience or in anyone I've talked to about it (which is admittedly not many - it's not a common topic of conversation).

The hand bidet was super cheap and the shipping was free, so I figured "why not give it a whirl?" And it worked out great.
