'Why are women too scared to poo?' blog discussion

mattlfc79

Its so true about women not wanting to poo, or even talk about it!

In my male social circle we crack jokes about poo all the time and it always gets a good laugh even if it does lower the tone!

I am proud to poo, its great pooing at work as it is like an extra break and you get paid to poo! Double time is even better. There did used to be a poo timer that you set off when you went and when you returned you stopped it and it would tell you how much you had earned for that dump!

For those about to dump...... We salute you!!

I used to be like this (even once held off for a whole weekend when staying at someone elses house).... but having had a burst appendix and part of my bowel removed along with the remains of the appendix... I have a completely different view of things.

When your bowels actually shut down after the operation, when there's a whole floor in the hospital dedicated to patients with "digestive diseases" suffering similar issues (including several with colostomy bags to deal with) and whilst in hospital after being asked on what felt like an hourly basis whether wind or anything else has passed in that direction.... not being allowed to eat anything other than soup or jelly until wind has passed through... and not being allowed to go home from hospital until your "bowels open".... and narrowly escaping being given suppositories...

I have learned to appreciate the fact that my bowels work

I'm just so grateful I didn't need the colostomy bag they said may be a possibility.

So I no longer hold off and I no longer care what anyone thinks about something that is normal

Good heavens! If you need to poo, just poo!

I poo at work and in public toilets (sometimes hovering) and although I dont like to think of others hearing this (pop a bit of toilet paper on the water before you poo to lessen the splosh!), it's not as if I am doing anything wrong.
Its human nature and yes it sometimes smells, but they can't really complain as it is a TOILET, they would soon have something to twist about if I took a crap in the kitchen :eek:

I haven't read the whole thread, so I apologise if this has been covered before.

But why do men find it acceptable to break wind (fart) in public? They even brag about it. I reckon most women do the same as me, when we feel the need to, we go to the toilet.
WARNING: do not go to the pub on a Tuesday if darts and doms was on a Monday.
chances are all the players ate pie and mushy peas the night before.:eek::eek::eek:

at an office i worked the women had a "Phantom LOgger" who would leave presents in the lavs.this went round the office like wild fire and eventually got to the men too.There were bets on who the culprit was however i dont think it was ever truly identified.

We had one of those too! Only in the female loo but was so big a camel would have been proud of that one!

Became the talk of the office, even head office rang to ask if it had finally dissolved (no amount of flushing could get rid of it, even turd bashing!!)

If it wasn't so disgusting it would be funny. Never did find out who did it

I'm glad Martin has raised this subject. It is an embarrasing issue that needs addressing. I don't reckon it's just women that find it embarrasing to go.

I've worked in many different buildings over the years, and in my opinion the two main problems are:-

1) Location of the toilet. Can often be in a bad place, such as next to the tea room, near an entrance, in view of many other workers, etc, etc..... We once had a toilet door in view of a cctv camera, and the blonde bimbo secretary who monitored the screens always used to bring attention to the fact that "Dave" was in there having a poo. Until someone complained that is.

2) In toilet blocks, why oh why oh why is there a need for such a big gap under both the door AND the side walls? Why, why, why, why? There really is no need. Even in some new buildings today, when the toilets are put in, there's the usual gap under the door and sides. Why does this happen? Do toilet install companies just put these partitions in by default when fitting out toilet blocks? Do they not ask anyone if these huge gaps are acceptable before fitting them?

My mate was in a public bog once, then looked down only to see a small child looking under the door at him :rotfl:

I used to be embarassed till I had a child. The act of pooing yourself as you pass a small child into the world was not that bad, it was the 2 weeks afterwards of 'have you had a bowel motion today? How was it? Hard, soft? Pain? Piles?' afterwards that cured me of any shyness. Then the second time I had diarrhoea so bad from all the medication I was on that I had a mini-accident running from special care baby unit to a loo, any loo! Then waddling back to my room to get changed (and go again). Third time I said to the midwife 'yes I had a poo, it was soft, it was fine, I took my book in with me while doing it' before she even asked

I do stuff loo roll down the loo first in public toilets to mask the noise and then craftily wait till the folk next to me have left before emerging though...

thanks for bringing up this neglected and interesting subject, ive enjoyed reading everyones replies!

personally i am lucky that i have never needed to poo at work - we have just one tiny ladies with no window or ventilation, it's about 4'x4' and its so gross to walk in and smell someones s**t! and the mens is RIGHT next door so i often hear them doing their business but i turn the tap on straight away to drown it out. eeewwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!
