I think someone should do a scientific study.. THis is the closest thing this thread will have to any seriousness, so I think a study is in order. we should take into account, though, things like Diet, time, mood, urgency of schedule, urgency of having to shit, things like that. We need to have whoever participates measure the height of their toilets.
I just bake mine til their ready to come out of their own accord, it doesn't matter if I am squatting, sitting or standing. But that's certainly the Indian yoga way to do it, but sometimes I find that my legs go a bit weak after from the strain if I do it that way, you know like when you have a wank standing up?
Its good thing to have very fast BM's when visiting the outside outhouse when its super cold outdoors....;-)
when I squat I poop the same speed as when I am on a toilet. when I go camping I never use the pit toilets. I do not like them. I just find some hidden spot in nature and squat. I would not like those asian toilets. Seems like the water would splash up to easily. I hate when I crap in a public toilet and it splashed up.
I don't like shitting in public because I don't want anyone to hear my plops. My shits are really heavy (just thought I would share that). My shitting time varies depending on how bad I have to shit.
Sometimes Ill sit on the toilet and just daaazee out, like sit there 30 min or an hour, especially if I'm high, but most of the time I will just take like a couple minutes cause its no big deal.
I always sit there for a few minutes to make sure what's gonna come out is all out, but really I have no desire to be on the toilet any longer than needed, if I wanna read I prefer the couch.
I have never understood people who are in the bathroom for 10 minutes plus. Ridiculous! If it honestly takes you that long, you could benefit from some fiber in your diet
