I have begun to find that the following is correlated and I would like to find out if you do to, and then prove it. I'm not sure if this only applies to men but women can feel free to partake as well.

When not needing to go the bathroom (#2 only) yet its been awhile...

get your favorite bathroom reading and take it into the Living room, dining room, etc. somehwhere except the bathroom....

read...

Does this trigger a feeling of needing to go to the bathroom (#2) where you would continue your read?

Flasch186 · 06-22-2005, 04:06 PM

yes for me

John Galt · 06-22-2005, 04:07 PM

truly bizarre. I think this needs to be a poll with a trout option.

I take dumps no matter where I am, and blame it on the pets.

Coffee Warlord · 06-22-2005, 04:12 PM

I don't touch magazines, because if I do, I instantly lose control of my bowels.

Franklinnoble · 06-22-2005, 04:13 PM

Good theory. But I read a lot of different stuff in and out of the bathroom, and I can't say any of it triggers any colonic activity.

What does Shorty read to warm up for 1 minute 47seconds dump?

Franklinnoble · 06-22-2005, 04:21 PM

I save mine for the office. I've already found a nice, out-of-the-way toilet to take care of business...

There's nothing better than industrial-strength office toilets... no clogging. Every domestic toilet I've ever used has choked on a log of mine at one point or another.

And do you leave the reading material in the bathroom when you're done, or take it back out with you?

There's a guy I work with who takes the office copy of the WSJ in with him, and then brings it back out. Ick. I have since subscribed to the online version.

I have no problem with that as long as he doesn't use it to wipe.

so for some it is true...and some it is not. I need to add that my main reading when in the bathroom is Newsweek so in this case it was Newsweek I was reading in the Living Room when it was triggered THUS I wonder if it also has the variable of what the readin material is in comparison to the normal reading material that is read when in the bathroom. hmmmmm

I doubt he wipes with it. I just don't want to touch anything that's been near this guy's penis.

Also, if it is true than would it be Pavlovian?

korme · 06-22-2005, 04:35 PM

I hardly read when taking shits. It actually depends, in college I'm too lazy to keep magazines around or in the bathroom, so I just look at the wall and be done with it. At home, maybe there will be an SI laying around, but I don't take long enough shits to read entire articles so I just flip through.

We don't exactly have community reading material around here. If I take something to the can, it's something I've printed off the web (and then I trash it when I'm done) or a book or magazine I'm reading. Either way, I'm not passing it around.

you have evolved...I still continue to start articles only to run into the "do I finish the article" dilemma. I have read the first half of sooo many articles I could write a book on them...you have evolved.

You have to actually own a printer for this to work, see...

Funny, because at school I have a printer with no ink.

Still, I've never been like - damn, I wanna read this article, let me print that shit out so the next time I have to take the browns to superbowl I can catch up on this readin'.

Got ya beat. One of the men's restrooms here is off a well-trafficked hall. The sink is immediately inside the door. Plenty of times while I'm walking down the hall, I hear the flush and the door open with no sink running. The break room/kitchen is immediatley next door. This is why I don't eat ANYTHING put out at work.

You're a woman. I'd be seriously turned off by a chick who reads while taking a dump. The fact that women even take dumps is antithetical to the very essence of a woman, so reading and dumping is out of the question.

I was being a bit melodramatic there, in case you couldn't tell. So no, you're not supposed to hold it. But you're not supposed to read while you go, either.

My whole point goes back years. I can remember in high school, a bunch of us would be gaga over the hottest chicks in school, then someone would inevitably suggest thinking about [fill in her name] taking a dump, and it was nearly impossible to do. That, or if you conjured up the image, it completely ruined the moment. Women and dumping just don't go together. That said, I understand the science behind it all, thanks!

Flasch186 · 06-22-2005, 06:12 PM

think, after all of the years of men being able to read while dumping and women NOT being able to read while dumping the knowledge skew could be seriously off....To catch up, Women. I suggest you read while dumping. You wouldnt want to fall further behind.

AZSpeechCoach · 06-22-2005, 06:41 PM

In 5th grade, my teacher was telling us about the importance of taking every chance to further your education. She provided the example of her son who, when in medical school, put up charts on the back of the bathroom door so that he could be studying every chance he got. Since then, I have been an avid reader.

Having said that, my trigger seems to be music stores, specifically Tower Records. Whether in Tempe, Boston, or Philadelphia, being in the Tower triggers a need to dump...and of course they don't have public restrooms.

I put copies of pictures from Netter's Guide to Anatomy around my bathroom my first year. Anatomy almost kicked my butt.

Edited to add: In regards to the original question: No, I've never had any reading material stimulate my bowels.
