For those of you who say "Pooing is cool".....

By the way, who doesn't think pooing is cool?

The great Alan does and doesn't.

I don't. It's a necessary bodily function; no more, no less. Is peeing cool too?

And in my world, it thunders. The sky never cracks a roo.

There is no greater feeling than peeing outside in the crisp morning air.

But I squat instead of sitting probably every other time I poo.  I find that it straightens out the "tubes" better and makes for fewer danglers.

Yep. Back in the jungle we didn't have toilets to sit on and squatting was the natural way to poo. Our bodies are designed accordingly - things absolutely slide out better when you squat compared to when you sit. However, you can get much of the same effect by leaning forward and, if that's not enough, by lifting your knees up too.

My take on the "sitting versus squatting" debate:  it is not slam-dunk in favor of squatting.  It may straighten out the rectum and part of the descending colon, but it can also result in a much faster defecation, with far more intense muscle contraction, a more rapid increase in blood pressure to a higher level, and (paradoxically, given the claimed benefits of squatting) an enhanced likelihood of tenesmus.

I think diet is more of a factor than is perhaps appreciated by the health journalists who advocate squatting.  A person with a bad diet (lots of refined foods that produce dense stools) is probably better off squatting, while a person with a diet heavy in fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain cereals (very rich in soluble and insoluble fiber, which promote large and not very dense stools) is more comfortable in the sitting position and more likely to rise from the toilet with a feeling of full evacuation.

Wow!  There are so many great quotes just from the first page of that thread!

so how do you apply it. put some dust in your hand and then pat your nuts?

when I apply...

heh, don't picture this!

I lay on my back, get all spread eagle style, and spray, pour, shake, whatever, the powder there....then gently pat into place

What if it gets in your pee-hole?

SWEET! I'm going to buy the blue bottle tonight. No more of that wimpy yellow bottle stuff.

Don't do it...step up to the green and stay there. Yellow is for pussies, and Blue is just plain nuclear nut-melting toxic junk-burner.

And, from Page 2:

Has anyone taste tested it to make sure a chick can teabag ya without getting ill? I think these are things we should discuss....

Dude I was thinking the exact same thing, but I didn't say it cuz I didn't want to sound like a pervert.

So, yeah, we have a long way to go.
