Why do males go for "number two's" more than females?

[crazydazy]

Does anyone know?

Both DP and DS go to the loo twice a day but DD doesn't and I sometimes only go once a week.

I know its not a nice subject but just wondered why this was and if everyone else's family were the same.

[Cristina7]

Same in our family. Sometimes I think they just want to have a good read.

[MrsDoolittle]

Other way round here. I go everyday, sometimes twice. Dh maybe goes every other day. Dd, like may once or twice a day.

[crazydazy]

How bizarred Mrs Doolittle, I genuinely thought men "went" more because DP's Dad is the same but is Mum is like me.

[moondog]

Once a week!!???

You are seriously clogged up girl.
A shit a day is what you should aim for.

[chapsmum]

sorry to interupt Mrs doolittle, how are you today, any more contractions, hope your a bit more comfortable?!

[jessicaandrebeccasmummy]

DH once a day without fail.

My girls (well they are still small) once a day if not more

Me..... 1-4 times a week

[Nemo1977]

mmm something I have always wondered.
DH goes approx 3 times a day,
DS goes once or twice
DD loads bt shes only 7wks
I go about 4 times a week.

it is a bit funny isnt it.

[crazydazy]

Lol Moondog dp always remarks "you couldn't give a shit could you??"

I am always slurping that Lactulose stuff. Its my own fault I hardly drink anything accept tea and coffee and I don't each much fruit and veg either. Have always been the same.

[moondog]

3 times a day!
Blimey...what's he on??

[crazydazy]

I thought it was maybe in the male "makeup" that their bowels maybe worked better or something.

[FrannyandZooey]

Once a week????!!! I think you need medical assistance. Even 4 times a week sounds mad to me - what are you all eating???

[bourneville]

nope, 1'm daily sometimes twice, boyf often gets clogged up for a few days. he does make a bigger deal of it tho, takes ages & sits & reads

[crazydazy]

When I was pregnant towards the end it was once a month and that is no exaggeration. After I had given birth they were giving me suppositories which didn't work so in the end they had to give me an enema which was repulsive.

[Frizbetheexpansionset]

Nemo 3 times a day is a hell of a lot!
I'm usually daily (bar when preggers ) and dd is once or twice a day depending on ammt of raisens in diet! dh is daily too?!

[IlanaK]

I would not say it is a gender thing, but a fibre thing. You should be going at least once a day - more if you are eating a lot of fibre. If you are going on ly a few times a week, you should be eating more fibre and drinking a lot more water.

[doormat]

coz they are full of shit

[Feistybird]

Why???????


Because they're full of sh*t of course

guffaw

[Feistybird]

girl after me own heart doormat

[bundle]

i wouldn't have said they do, they just make more fuss about it

[crazydazy]

Okay then why do most men go for a s**t as soon as they get up? Just do mine when I feel like it but DP goes at the same time every morning.

[poppiesinaline]

Cos they like to sneak off and read - Takes DH 20 mins to poo! I sometimes think he has gone out and then discover him in the toilet! Me - in and out in minutes - got better things to be doing than sitting on a loo!

[tmi2]

DH goes after breakfast. Usually just once a day.
I go about 6x/day. Maybe more in pregnancy.
I have no idea about the children, cannot believe you ladies keep track.

[skerriesmum]

I think men sometimes have higher metabolisms; I know dh and ds each poo at least three times a day! I usually just go once a day.
Funny thread!

[sazzlealsop]

I went on hol with my sis in december and, no kidding, she had 18 poo's to my 3. MAybe she's a man. And she always goes first thing in the morning then has a coffee and goes again
