Default Pooping: You're Doing It Wrong

http://gawker.com/5622737/forget-eve...-about-pooping

Quote:
If you're attractive and/or a girl, this doesn't apply to you. But the rest of you, meaning those who poop, listen up: Your pooping technique is incorrect, a groundbreaking story reveals...
Modern-day squat evangelists make money off the claim that a "more natural" posture wards off all sorts of health problems, from Crohn's disease to colon cancer. Inventor Jonathon Isbit runs a modest online business selling Nature's Platform-a homemade, $150 device that fits over toilets to make them more like holes in the ground.
Of course this doesn't apply to Subsimmers, because we're all attractive and/or girls.

As long as I can get some reading done that is all that matters.

^^ lmao

hmm straining? surely a better diet is better for ease of ahem, 'motions' than some 150 quid gadget to make the business of passing richards more like squatting behind a bush?

I can see a fatal flaw in this 'labour saving device' - has no-one thought of the monumental proportions of the 'splash-back' from such dizzying heights above the calm waves of the porcelain littorals? No thanks chum.

The real question here, I think, is does it solve the problem of 'lid up/lid down'?

So are you using targeting assistance when you fire off those eels, or have you thrown caution to the wind and gone strictly manual?

Now of course if you are now going to squat (careful, if you slip your in the sh!t), you may need the new device advertised on the right of the article, the extended toilet roll holder! All I can add is... Spa-doonch!!

I'm not gonna deal with maneuvering a toilet paper roll out and back from the wall AND simultaneously trying to keep my balance whilst squatting over a hole in the floor.

In short: put a remote control device on that thing or it's no sale.

Oh wait, I'm a girl. I don't poop. Never mind!

Poop thread...

I subscribe to the theory "If it's not broke, don't fix it".

Living in Thailand, I am quite used to squatting over holes, nothing new here.
Get through a lot of shoes mind you.

That's why in Japan they leave slippers by the door for you to ware in the bathroom.
