Is it normal to squat instead of sit to take a dump?
I have taken up squatting to take a number 2, as opposed to sitting. I am able to take a much more complete and voluminous dump, in much less time, than if I were to sit on the commode. It "empties me out" very nicely.
I've been doing this for a year now, and one major benefit I've seen is that the nasty, bleeding, slowly worsening hemorrhoids I've had since I was 14 years old are COMPLETELY GONE. I haven't so much as shat one drop of blood in almost a year!
The problem is, I can't travel or go anyplace for more than a day or two with this new bathroom habit of mine. How could I do this in a public bathroom? I'm too heavy to squat on the toilet (215 pounds and it's mostly muscle, so don't tell me to lose weight.) I could break a toilet if I squatted on the rim. What I do, is put Bounty on the bathroom floor and crap on that...
So I guess it's not normal, huh? Am I going to have go back to the greasy Preparation H, sore, swollen, itching, oozing lumps hanging from my a$$hole, and bloody gore on my TP to have a "normal" life?
