Seriously why?! Men and toilets

[FanOfTheCheese]

Why does it take them so long to poo?!
My husband is in there every morning for at least 20-30 mins I don’t get it?

I am a man and I live on my own (apart from cat).

It varies, depending on diet.

But it's definitely true that it comes in 'waves', so if you wipe and flush after the first one, you'll be back on the pot within 5 minutes.

So best to sit and wait for it all to be over. Can take anything between 5 mins (if there is only one 'wave') or half an hour.

Use the time to read or browse the news.

Lol at ‘toilet shaming’ 😂

What do you do when you are out/at work? Half an hour is a long time.

They're not pooing they're hiding.

Always seem to happen straight after dinner when everything needs clearing/ washing up. Strange that

My other half isn't in there ages, nor does he take his phone in!

Good place to read, but not for 30 mins

It's not ALWAYS 30 minutes!

And I work from home.

In my experience,they do it to avoid childcare, household chores,and to have a bit of 'me time'. My exH was a prime example of this. Really used to piss me off. We'd get home from shopping with our year old daughter and I'd say 'Can you watch her while I get the shopping put away?'. Inevitably,he'd need one of his half hour long toilet visits.

I genuinely think men find it pleasurable. It makes sense. I think they actively enjoy it. It's a recreational activity for them.

I work in other people's houses, there's no way I'm getting off the loo until I'm sure I'm done in the morning.
Don't read or take my phone.

That said, 10 mins max, normally less. I'd rather contemplate the day ahead with a coffee in the kitchen.

I sometimes find the very action of wiping my bum triggers a second lot. So then I have to wipe again.

Ah, a poo lasagne. (learnt that from some lass on Celeb Big Brother.)
