(לא) בל תשקצו - ואם משהא עצמו לקטנים עובר משום בל תשקצו ומשום שלא יהיה עקר. והמשהא מלהפיח אינו עובר על בל תשקצו .גם האיסור בל תשקצו נדחה מפני כבוד הבריות כגון המשהא נקביו עד שימצא מקום צנוע וכה"ג. יזהר מאוד לקנח היטיב כי צואה במקומה במשהו כמו שכתב בסימן ע"ו ברוק: או במים הטבעת פי לרחוץ וטוב ס"ה.

English Translation

You shall not make yourselves detestable - And if he holds himself back from urinating, he transgresses "you shall not make yourselves detestable" (Leviticus 11:43) as well as "there will not be among you a sterile male" (Deuteronomy 7:14). And one who holds himself back from passing gas does not transgress "you shall not make yourselves detestable". Also, the transgression of "you shall not make yourselves detestable" is pushed off when it comes to the dignity of people. For example, if a person holds back from relieving himself until he can find a private place, or similar. One should be very careful to clean himself very well [after relieving himself], because feces [found] anywhere [on his body is forbidden] with any amount, like is written in siman 76, se'if 5. And it's good to wash one's anus with water or spit.
