Is it normal that i don't sit on the toilet seat?

Ever since we are children we are indoctrinated to follow certain potty training protocol. But as I got older I realized that sitting on the toilet seat is an inconvenience. FYI, for the past year I have been kneeling over the toilet bowl with my feet to the sides of the toilet instead of sitting on the toilet seat. I will outline my reasons for doing so below.

1) I am a claustrophobic person. And my toilet seat is quite small. Being a man I always considered it a hassle to sit on the toilet seat because I would make sure my privates were not touching anything that it shouldn't be touching and that my butt had enough room to conduct its normal affairs.

2) The act of sitting on a toilet seat is blatantly unhygienic by itself. I would never ever sit on a public toilet seat. But even the toilet at home is bound to be infested with all sorts of bacteria and germs.

3) Sitting on a toilet seat, I feel, inhibits my excretory processes whereas kneeling over the toilet facilitates it. Kneeling instead of sitting also has the added benefit of working out my calves muscles.

For the above specified reasons I have arrived at the conclusion that kneeling over the toilet bowl (with my butt facing down) is preferable to sitting on a toilet seat. Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this.

    My mother taught me growing up not to touch anything in the restroom, not knowing she meant publics restrooms and not the bathroom at home. I hover anywhere and everywhere, yes even at home.

    I squat over the toilet to pee, but if it's number 2 I usually put TP down. However I have squatted to take a shit once or twice, and yes I do this at home because many people use my toilet and some of those people disgust me hygienically.

    Ah, the squat position. For a lot of the world this is the normal way to poo. You might have seen a squat toilet - it's pretty much just a hole to poo in, with porcelain around it to catch any splatter. They're mostly an Asia thing, but you see them sometimes in Europe, e.g. France.

    I prefer sitting to poo, but lots of people prefer squatting. HOWEVER - I have voted you as not normal, because it is considered poor form to squat on a sitting toilet. Other people are going to sit where you put your dirty shoes. In some places (e.g. Singapore airport) you see signs like this:

      sitting down while pooping is unnatural. just think how you would poop without a toilet. plus pooping while squating prevents water from splashing on your hole.

    You sound as though you're trying to start some sort of revolution. :P

    There are other ways; such as hovering, using tissue to cover the seat before sitting, or waiting until you get home.

    Good luck converting others. ;)
