How is pooping so easy for some people?

[Anonymous]

It's easy for me. I stay hydrated and eat plenty of fiber. I'm slightly uncomfortable with pooping in public, but I handle it by just going faster.

Feel the urge, sit down, bam, done.

My husband is the typical guy who sits for a solid 10 minutes. I have wondered for years what goes on during that time (while also never wanting to know).

This is me.
I sit there afterwards though, usually scrolling on DCUM, as a way to hideout a bit more from the chaos of the house.

I am not sure what allows me to be like this.. but pretty much I only feel it once I really have to go, and then in takes me less than 30 seconds. I have 2 other friends ( all teachers.. so pretty used to talking about this kind of stuff) who also go very fast.. we have even joked about timing ourselves.

Well, I would never go in a public restroom unless I absolutely HAD too like right then, so there would be no issue of it coming out. I would do a courtesy flush, wipe well and be on my way ASAP.

I don't understand how pooping is difficult for some.

Eat a LOT of plants (not a lot of meat/dairy). Exercise. Drink a lot of water. Coffee in the morning. I poop 2-3x a day, and it takes no longer than a pee.

I feel the "urge" - like pressure bearing down. Make a trip to the bathroom. Push. Wipe. Exit. I don't leave a smell or trace (honestly).

Repeat an hour later for my 2nd morning poop.

I'm always confused by people like you, OP. What are your habits like? I've always wondered who the people are who stink up a public restroom. What are your eating habits like?

That's the way to do it.

If you want to mess up your bowels. And you are ashamed of your body.

Mine too. I always wonder what the hell he's doing in there.

For me, going No. 2, esp. in a public restroom, is complicated. Getting started, knowing when I'm finished, wiping -- it can take a while.

But for a lot of people (well, a lot of men, at least), based on what I've heard in the next stall over the years, it's a piece of cake. No different from No. 1.

It never ceases to amaze me to hear somebody walk in, sit down, immediately make a series of truly spectacular fart noises, wipe (well I hope), flush, and walk out, in a minute or two.

I'm kind of appalled but kind of envious.

Are more people like that, or like me?

The Squatty Potty is your friend!

Yeah, because every single thing about a person is 100% under his or her control. People are different.

Same. I had problems with communal bathrooms in college. But now that I'm an adult, none whatsoever. I'm on a schedule--every morning like clockwork, right around the first or second cup of coffee and then done for the day. I would not want not be on a schedule. Too inconvenient to have the urge strike while you're in the middle of something else.
