But I still think it's a boy thing. The reading material in bathrooms is almost never girlish. (ducks flames re: genered reading material) But maybe that perspective comes from seeing more short-attention-span reading materials on boyish than girlish shelves. I guess, tho, it really breaks down to more or less anal retentive personalities, eh? Wouldn't one would think the sitting, letting gravity do it's thing over the course of a really long stretch, thing would be much less apt to cause itching and swelling than the opposite behavior? I wonder if ob's recommend reading on the throne to pregnant ladies. The branch of my family that followed this practice was both a) the largest at the time and b) not practicing Catholics.

My friends, upon my pronouncement that I'm bathroom bound, wave at me and say 'See ya'. And I'm not joking. It's the only room in this two bedroom house where I can walk in, shut the door, and be left alone for X minutes. The only room. When I walk into the can, my wife sometimes kisses me goodbye first.

The door has a lock. Once you establish a reputation for taking your time in the can, people leave you alone, which never happens in other rooms, at least not in my house. It’s quiet.

One, it's comfortable, at least to this ass. Also, some people often need more, um, time, in the littlest room. A lot more time, on occasion. And it can get pretty boring in there.
