Ok, this is probably just a guy thing....and maybe not all guys....but many of us like to admire our work after a session on the seat.
We're potty training my daughter. A few days ago, she did #2 on the potty for the 3rd time. So, of course, we are praising her: "Great job...Wow! Look at all that poopies! We're so proud of you!"
hmmmm........might not even need a shrink to solve this one.

What I find funny is how women are so ANTI reading on the pot. TS sat there and drilled me about how it must dry up and harden on the outside because I take longer due to my reading habits. I'm sorry I find that funny. |

Women are anti-reading on the pot? I'll admit to reading on the pot. I still am not comfortable enough with this crowd to admit to admiring my own poops. |

Many of us who have worked in Wall Street remember when land line phones were installed in the partner and MD stalls, and the one firm with the electronic ticker visible above the top of the stall door, just in case the markets moved while the bowels were moving.
Thank god for cell phones and Blackberries. A little more discreet way to read and communicate.
No time to read the latest poop, however. |

And how many women (and some of us dads) spent hours analyzing and cataloguing the quality, color, consistency, frequency, and nature of our infants' poops, divining the inner workings of our children from the elminatory tea leaves left in their diapers? How many times did you come home from work or a trip to the mall to receive a detailed report of how many poops Junior made and whether any were runny or too hard? It is hard-wired into our species. |

Mr. Poopa, one theory I read back in graduate school in Wisconsin comes from Kimberley Clarke, a naturalist in the University of Wisconsin School of Applied Forestry Products (part of the Agricultural Extension program at UW-Osh Kosh, otherwise knows as UW-Zero). Kim Clarke hypothesized that while women can give birth and therefore are able to physically create from inside of their bodies, men can only create from within through elimination--hence their tendency to sit and admire their own stools. Clarke then drew a connection between this tendency and the male tendency to build big things, like buildings and bridges, continuing their drive to externalize their creativity, while women tended to be more inspired by social creativity and nurturing. Of course, Clarke was very influenced by the hard-core feminists like Mary Daly, which tends to discredit her in my books, and I think she overlooked exploring olfactory variables that also may have some explanatory power, but she is well published and has cleaned up in the world of applied forestry products.

Gee, I better hide the stack of books and magazines we keep on the back of the tank! Someone might think we were (shhh!) lesbians or something! You know, as in, "Real women don't read on the throne." Alleygater, methinks you're generalizing your wife's opinions a bit too much. |

Yes, but do you sit and admire your creations? Or do you simply sit and read? That is the gender distinktion that Clarke suggests.
CLK, you raise an interesting question as to whether lesbians exhibit the same tendencies as men do; one would wonder if lesbians who have given birth or were straight or bi for a while exhibit different tendencies than women who were lesbian without deviation? Hmmm, may have to send a note to Clarke on this, see if there have been any such studies done. |

From The Big Chill...from memory:
Michael (Jeff Goldblum), who writes for People Magazine or something like it:
"I never write an article longer than it would take to read during a good crap."
Something like that. |

Actually, I have heard that People Magazine is designed to be read cover-to-cover in 14 minutes, because it is about the max you'd spend on the toilet.
Are you sure the reading is a guy thing, Alleygater? I was opposed to it and my ex-wife had the habit. But maybe I'm the unusual one.
When my older daughter was toilet training, and a little after, she'd also liken her poop to other things. My mother was hysterical when she took her granddaughter once, who admired her work: "Grandma! It looks like a alligator!"

Today my husband and I were discussing weight. He told me he was 168 prepoop and 164 after.
That's one heckofa poop.
FWIW, I don't understand the reading thing either. It would be like having a cup of coffee on the toilet. |

Hey, I open this thread and see my name in it, discussed in connection with lesbian toilet habits .... ESL, did you get me and C Bataille confused? She has a female partner, my partner is a man. But we're both named Cathy (she often signs her name here, and so do I). And we have daughters of nearly the same age at the same school, and I believe they even know each other. But I'm not her, and she's not me. Never even met her that I'm aware of.
Though I do have to admit, I read on the can. A lot of women do. My sister takes her crosswords in there. I draw the line at cell phone conversations there, but some women don't, based on what I hear in the lavatory at work ...
As a psychologist who flunked the test on Freud, I'm not sure how much to trust anything I say on this, but Freud was also into the poop-as-creation thing. Something about the anal stage of development. I always thought it was horsesh** myself, but as I said I flunked that exam.
I wouldn't be in this conversation at all except that I saw my name and laughed ... |

OK, so it's 9:30 on a Saturday night and I am reading a thread on men admiring their poop. It's a great life (note to self, stock up on more tequila). Hmmm, wondering on what is going on in the farting thread.... |

Maplepoop or Maplefart? Can't beleive both idiototic threads have gone so far! Hate to think what the people who are looking to move here think when they check out MOL. No class here, or on any of the other threads. I'll bet they will happily look eleswhere. |

See, imo, there are few places where it's inappropriate to read.
Okay, a few:
1) in the driver's seat with the vehicle moving more than 15mph (spouse admits she read while bike riding as a kid!)
2) probably in a confessional 'tho I imagine priests reading on the other side while waiting for confessors to stop in.
3) operating room (hopefully the staff read everying they needed to earlier!)
I'm sure there are other places but I know you all will help identify them.
(btw, I'm honored to be mixed up with CKelley whose posts I often admire.) |
