How much is humans needing to wipe their behind after pooping not simply modern dietary habits?
There are a great many such things, such as that skeletal remains of old civilizations showing very good teeth for civilizations wherein the brushing thereof was nonexistent, but the diet contained no added sugars.
- sodapopcan 5y agoAbsolutely! While we do have these fatty buttocks and... er, well, we're in polite company here, but... stuff will rub up against them if pooping in any other position than a squat... but ya, in past dietary experiments I've done, I didn't actually need to wipe. I still did, of course, but it was truly unnecessary.
- meowster 5y agoI spread my cheeks as I go to sit down on the toilet seat. Thus I only have to wipe very little if at all, and I don't have the best of diets. Do other people not do that?
- nate_meurer 5y agoI only do this when I shit from the window of an automobile.
- meowster 5y agoIs that a joke/reference? It doesn't make sense. There must be a more efficient/reasonable way to defecate.

- throwawayboise 5y agoIt's also because most of us poop in a sitting position. Squatting, as you would do outdoors if you didn't have a toilet, spreads the buttocks and there is much less cleaning needed. It also promotes more complete emptying so you don't have fecal matter left "pinched" in the anus that needs to be wiped up. If you use a typical western toilet, get something like a Squatty Potty to prop up your feet and you'll find you need to do much less wiping.
- meowster 5y agoI don't use a Squatty Potty, I just spread my cheeks as I go to sit down. I barely have to wipe if at all, and I don't have that great of a diet. This method works on any toilet seat (work, school, friend's house, etc) - no feet prop required.
- hungryforcodes 5y agoNot that many because most of the world uses water and flush which is far cleaner. But it seems Westerners think their society is so superior, that they haven't figured this out this one simple trick yet. In the West I have to go through meetings knowing how unclean everyone's bottoms are /s
