It is actually physically unwise to sit on the look for a long time with your anal sphincter open, hoping that you might pass something. It makes the muscle weaker and in time less retentive!
I don't think the actual point of dispatch takes any longer, does it? It isn't a case of deliberately teasing it out of an open sphincter 1mm at a time: it's just the significant amount of unproductive time spent before and after the prompt delivery.
Men seem to be completely disfunctional when it comes to going to the loo. My dad, my cousin, my husband, my son. Women just go in, do it, come out. Not the male of the species though!
To be fair, that's probably what a lot of men think about women when they see the long queues outside the ladies' toilets whilst the gents is just straight in and out.
Of course, there are several obvious reasons why women need longer to use the toilet; but does anybody know if there might be a subtle difference in men's and women's poo-related plumbing and muscle structure?
Like the fact that both sexes have two arms (excepting disability), but on average, men find it much easier and quicker to swing along using monkey bars than women do. Or that thing where women can kneel and lean over forwards without losing their balance whereas men usually can't.
I've no idea if there is any actual difference in male and female bowel dispatch: just wondering if it's been examined scientifically at all.
