We recently purchased a house. On the long list of things to do, new toilets are somewhere in the lower third of urgent matters.

Home Depot has a stunning array of toilets on tap, all mounted up on the wall so I can't test 'em out. Sad. Anywho, one of the toilets proudly advertised the throughput to flush 7 billiard balls, no sweat. I'll now stop wondering who that's for.

FM Dave N, you live in Texas, right? I grew up in the marshy pine woods of Smith County. Taken many an uncomfortable, sweaty grunter in the unforgiving Texas humidity. Salut.

We did a lot of uncomfortable things when we shared cramped apartments with single bathrooms. Now that we've got a bathroom apiece, it seems unlikely that we'll have the issue again.

I can have a push and take all the time in the world. More importantly, I can add a little much needed mystery to our relationship and shit privately.

A solemn oath, witness me: I'll never shit in front of the missus again unless I absolutely have to.

Over 32 years with my GF and I have never pooped in front of her. I hope to never do that. She was really sick one time and needed help and was on the toilet and did a little diarrhea squirt while I was in there, but that was it. Gotta keep some things private after all this time together.

My wife and I have been living together in some fashion since 1998. We don't grump in front of one another, and I try not to fart when anyone is around if I can help it.

I will pee in the backyard, and i'll pee with the doors wide open as longs as little frank is hidden, but I lock the poopin' door even when it's just me and the dogs.

Uncomfortable for everyone involved.

I'm not especially happy that I have to be present, why inflict it on others? Relationships need a little mystery.

If civilisation has any purpose it must to be help us deny these biological necessities, otherwise we're no better than animals. Or the French.

If the Sofece's Choice is shitting in front of them on purpose vs. shitting in front of them by accident, I'm asking for forgiveness with an empty colon instead of permission with imminently full pants

I’m going to be thinking about this for the rest of my life. Incredible work as always, b.

Unless I were like, violently ill on vacation and urgently had to go while she happened to be using a gender-neutral public restroom or the other bathroom was occupied, I couldn't imagine a situation in which this might be remotely ok.

Why would you ever? It's a far stinkier, more visceral, and more deliberate act than burping, farting, or even puking.

No good.

This thread makes me think of that Millie Jackson LP cover...

Also the Zappa Krappa.

Good story, too.

Once again, this closeted community of forward thinkers strikes again...

I will poop a bean in front of her and then i would scrap it of my dick in a matter of 15 minutes apart.

I have farted, pooped and puked in front of my significant others. I welcomed the reciprocation back.

I would never judge a person taking a shit in front of me. I would judge a person taking a shit on me behind my back.
