"My 10-minute routine dropped to a minute ..." Jesus, what the hell is wrong with this guy? Or maybe I'm the freak, but I don't spend ten minutes on the toilet

"My 10-minute routine dropped to a minute ..." Jesus, what the hell is wrong with this guy? Or maybe I'm the freak, but I don't spend ten minutes on the toilet. Usually it takes 30s-2m to do my business. Maybe he should consider a change in diet?

Yeah, it sounds like this guy has some kind of specific problem, which maybe squatting can relieve. I looked him up, assuming he might be an old guy, but he appears to be early-to-mid 20s, meaning that spending ten minutes just to take a crap on a regular basis is not normal.

  What if he has a good book on hand? I've been known to spend hours in there due to good books. It gets very uncomfortable, but you just can't put the book down!

    If you think it's uncomfortable now, wait until you get hemorrhoid surgery to undo the damage you're doing with this.

      I was a little kid at the time. I haven't had enough fixating books since then. Thankfully, I don't think children are especially susceptible.

    Don't read on the toilet seat. loewenskind has already said it, but I think it's important enough to repeat clearly. Sitting on that ring puts pressure on the anal muscles. Again, do not read on the toilet seat!

How old are you? I've found the good 'ol GI tract and related equipment doesn't work as efficiently as you start to approach 30. Also you can't read magazines or check email while you're "perched" so maybe that has something to do with it. ;)

  I've found the good 'ol GI tract and related equipment doesn't work as efficiently as you start to approach 30 Perhaps if you have a diet that consists mainly of cheese. "Approaching 30" is a bit early for your colon to start clogging up... you might want to get that checked out.
