Is it unreasonable to do this?

I've just thought about it, and actually it's quite weird.

Basically, there's nothing my DP and I won't discuss. Some of you may remember the thread concerning sex with another you, and whether it was self-pleasure or incest.

But we talk to each other on a daily basis about our toilet activities. Size, consistency, amount of strain, etc.

Are we odd?! Or do other couples do this?

GODDAMN IT! I meant penis*. Stupid iPhone!

But actually, that's a very good question! You roll over, look at your partner and discover that, in his place, is a giant mythological bird. What do you do?

I'd be pissed off that I had a penis and the closest thing I could try it out on was a not real bird

StealthPenguin · 22/11/2011 19:19

LMAO.

Best answer ever.

Sorry I also think you're weird. DH and I have been married for 27 years and we do discuss a lot of things. But we have never discussed our toilet habits.

Moominsarescary · 22/11/2011 19:34

It was quick for me

AKissIsNotAContract · 22/11/2011 20:50

Poo is measured in courics

I just laughed out loud at phoenix Grin

batsintheroof · 22/11/2011 21:45

Me and my partner do this quite a bit- my sense of humour is very childish i.e. saying naughty words, being slightly outlandish etc.
I tend to push it more than he does, especially with the teasing- saying I want to put my finger up his bum- that gets him out the bed. Hehehehe Grin

StealthPenguin · 23/11/2011 12:21

You sound like me, Bats! I'm quite childlike in my humour. Every time my partner says "ball" I giggle...

I tried to explain sex with another you last night to dp and ds, they didn't get it

knittedbreast · 23/11/2011 13:02

my dp does this

he dousnt need to tell me about them. i hear them Blush

ThePickledGerbil · 23/11/2011 13:37

We're very open about peeing and pooing...I find it strange that so many people are so horrified/reserved. Mind you, I have worked in care in the past and you get over yourself pretty quickly!

DH likes to boast about the size of his and even invited me to come and have a look when he snipped off a green loaf! Since being pg my bowel movements and products have been greatly altered and I share all this info with him because he's interested in my health and the changes.

I can't imagine being married for 20+ years and not once asking 'Good shit, dear?'! Grin

I do have a friend with a (possible) unhealthy interest in shite, though. He texts me photos with wee captions like 'Look, it's trying to crawl out the bowl', or 'Phewph...it's a boy!'. I let him get on with it, as I say, I've worked in care and there are MUCH ackier things to deal with than a photo of a shit!

I thought discussing poo was normal. Isn't it? I love you StealthPenguin. In fact I think you might be the other me. Oh no, that's too weird.

Oh NO! I've just realised someone's post about it killing off the romance. Maybe that's why we haven't had a decent shag in a month.

Jux · 23/11/2011 14:42

Dh likes to tell us all about his poo. I'm not enormously interested unless he's ill. I have found that if dd and I say "too much information" he has pretty well ceased to make these daily bulletins Grin

Malificence · 23/11/2011 16:01

As I'm not attracted to women, I have no wish to experience sex with myself but I've often wished DH was identical twins Grin twice the fun.

Yes, we are one of those weird couples who discuss toilet related matters, for example I know that DH is particularly loose today, don't see it as odd myself.

StealthPenguin · 23/11/2011 16:12

FarewellFigure - I've not had a decent shag in about... two days?

But that's because I felt particularly randy one morning!

And I'd just like everyone to know, DP hasn't told me about a poo today. Maybe he hasn't had one? Normally he's as regular as a Swiss Clock!

I don't want to tell people about the consistency of my poo's.. I might tell my sister to deliberately disgust her, but not my husband no.. It's not that I'm disgusted by the thought of it, I just don't feel the need! But if you do.. then great.

And in the time travellers wife he enjoys a bit of mutual masturbation with himself at points I do recall.. I'd say it's just normal wanking (just better) rather than incest. Ehem.

ImperialBlether · 23/11/2011 19:01

So am I the only person who thinks this is very strange and actually pretty revolting?

StealthPenguin · 24/11/2011 09:20

Um... looks like it, Imperial! Sorry Blush

OP posts:
StealthPenguin · 24/11/2011 09:21

And in TTW, it isn't specified what he's doing and therefore is open to interpretation.

But apparently it isn't wanking yourself off, because your wanking off another person, even if the other person is still you....

[wonders just how much sense that last part made....]
