This thread brought a giggle to me

After 37 years of marriage I totally agree with all of the theories posted re men and pooping...

Women..at least me..will wait until we really need to go..then can be in and out in a mere minute or two

my hubby (who not only has to tell me..which I continually tell him is not necessary..or want) will grab a book etc and be in there at least 10+ minutes

as a medical professional..I sincerely believe HE does not wait until it is time..but thinks he has to take the time..which literally translates to sitting there as the waste traverses the entire sigmoid colon(which is not the way it should be done)

I recall years ago I had a female patient (another culture..not sure which) that told me that in her childhood they were FORCED to sit on the pot each morning and could not get off until they produced a poop..talk about very strange way to teach bowel habits...no one should sit in there that long..

That said..I will concede that it does take a man longer to clean up..as those ball things must be lifted..cleaned under ...you get the picture

BTW from a medical standpoint..I have always been taught that sitting on the pot for long periods (of course not if one has diarrhea etc) is not good..straining and pushing EVERY time one sits there..can and does lead to hemorrhoids..etc...(not that women don't also get them)

my two cents only (BTW our home has three toilets for just the two of us..so giving others access is not the issue.)

I think it is an ingrained habit..that personally they have no desire to break..and I personally could care less (in my house)

again...funniest thread I have read in a long time!!

Every man I know well enough to know what they do in the bathroom holds their balls while they are sitting on the toilet. They don't get dirty if they hold them while performing the actual function. As a result, cleanup isn't more involved.

I don't hold my balls when I do this, and they never get dirty anyway.

Maybe it depends on how they hang.

I've seen my wife take as long or longer than me if she is reading something. She says she has to push sometimes but I never have that problem. I could finish fast but I like to read. I think its like a "fortress of solitude" type instance. It is private and you get alone time that is allowed. For example, "I have to use the restroom" is a better reason to have ten minutes alone rather than "I'm going to the basement to watch TV". I think because using the restroom is a required function.

The more I think about it, the more I think it's MOSTLY the solitude/escape thing.

LOL SERIOUSLY? I've NEVER heard of such a thing! Are all of these men in the old folks home?

Never heard of this. I sure don't, the normal body was designed not to have to.
