....in the toilet? Or is it just my OH?

I really don’t understand. I’ve never felt the need to make a big deal of going to the toilet! In and out as quickly as possible as it’s not exactly fun and who wants to sit on a cold hard toilet seat for any longer than necessary?

My OH can’t seem to go to the toilet without taking a Youtube video in with him and being in there for 10+ minutes - I think the record might have been 40! And this was not him having an upset stomach or anything like that!

Is it really that enjoyable to sit on a cold hard toilet seat for long periods at a time?? Does he just want to avoid me? Grin

I’ve seen a good few online dating photos taken in the bathroom. Probably the only place the wife won’t catch them creating a profile, reading mail, and emailing a woman back?
Or wanking over porn they know you will not be impressed about?

Or perhaps it’s just they just get comfy and enjoy a bit of YouTubing in peace?
Who knows!

My highly scientific theory is that it's the only part of the body where men have inferior muscles to women.

Pretty sure my DH doesn't eat enough fruit & veg and relies on coffee to prevent the worst excesses of chronic constipation. Hes another 20 min sitter. I suspect he really ought to go more regularly but doesn't so effectively has something of a blockage to pass and needs time to relax the muscles enough to do it.
