This one's a bit easier to handle :) Most of Japan's restrooms have this specific type. If it reminds you of something from the Starship Enterprise you are not far off as you have full control of every aspect; it's a very smart toilet.
The moment you sit down, you hear two sounds: first is the heating of the toilet seat (no more early-morning, ice-cold seat) and second is the sound of the electronics in the bowl scrambling around, trying to find out if you are male or female (which is very important so let it do its job). At first I was hesitant to start my "business" when I first heard these sounds but its ok to go ahead as the sensors are very accurate. By the time you're finished, the toilet is ready and is waiting for your next command. See the control pad there Captain Kirk? In terms of cleaning yourself, you have full control of temperature of water, amount of pressure, type of spray (straight stream, spread, swirl... similar to normal shower heads except for the swirl part) and amount of time the spray is active for (dont worry, there is an emergency stop button just incase). Once your finished, you then have an option to choose the amount of water you need to flush the toilet to save energy and water.
Although foreign to me before, I have gotten used to this system as it is quite convenient. I wouldn't mind seeing these in the US honestly. Less mess, and a more clean-feeling is a plus in my book. I guess there are less incidents of hemmroids(sp?) as well :)
