I really don't see the point in raw denim. I've never been able to get a full year out of a pair of pants without the seems around the crotch slowly separating and ripping eventually. but all I wear are levis? is raw denim more well made?

There is a significant difference in quality. Levis are terrible. Buy the right raw denim and it will last you a long time.

you lose the "sick fades" that you've spent months trying to get and they no longer stink of shit

There is NO difference between raw and regular denim in terms of quality, it is to do with the dying process.
"raw" refers to the fact that it wasn't prewashed so none of the indigo from the initial dye has been removed, so by wearing them "raw" they fade naturally. This is an aesthetic choice not anything to do with quality.

I wash my pants every after single day of work because I can't stand the thought of food particles being on them after eating or going through the kitchen at work on my way to the bathroom, the specs of shit that end up on it as I wipe, the small drops of piss that bounce around when I pee.

Yet people wear them daily for months and claim they're just as clean as when washed, meanwhile I wonder what's smelling like flowers when I didn't use any fragrance that day and I remember it's my jeans.

People are fucking disgusting.

Totally understand where youre coming from. Some years ago I was in the same boat, maybe even worse. I used to wash my hands like 30 or 40 maybe even 50 times a day. I'd wash my hands if i even accidentally touched my jeans/pants while wearing them (because of the reasons you mentioned). Thankfully i realised i had a problem and forced myself to stop over a span of like a year. Although my other OCD habits remain (still have to do things a certain number of times), i'm not too much of a clean freak anymore.

anyways, you really shouldnt be washing your garments that often, unless you dont care too much about them. Undershirts/underwear are obvoiusly fine (shirts too, if it's a little hot), but other wise washing them on the daily will make them wear out really quick, which is okay i guess for a worn out look but not every garment looks good like that.
about the piss thing tho, i try REALLY REALLY hard to piss slow so there's pretty much no splash every time lol

and before you point out the bathrooms are full of small bits of floating faeces, yes im aware but it gives me some piece of mind to not see visible droplets of urine splashing back onto my pants
