    I’ve never understood reading on the toilet, or nowadays playing on a phone. I sit down, shit, wipe, I’m gone. The whole process takes me like 2 minutes and I don’t go in there til I’m ready. Seems like there are much more comfortable places to read. Am I some kind of mutant with a lucky metabolism? I just don’t get that whole concept.

      A lot of folk treat toilet as their sanctum. You are alone in there. Nobody is gonna bother you, it’s just you and your thoughts. You can take a breather, let out a good, long shit and allow yourself to become calmer. When ready, go out to face the world again.

            I have a trick to help along hesitant logs. First, you get some toilet paper over your fingers, then you press in at the soft spot right past the end of the tailbone. The sweet spot seems to be about half way between the tailbone and the bhole. Do it right and the log just glides right out with practically no effort and no pain.

    Tmi.

    When I got old, my prostate woke up and even a normal movement is pain. When I get constipated I am screaming to the gods. Sadly I don’t get to meme :(
