Is pooping an "intimate thing for you?"





Background:
The covid toilet paper fiasco always fascinated me. I've been pooping three times a day on average since I was a kid. Once in the morning when I wake up, once mid-day, and once before bed. As such pooping is as easy as breathing. I hardly ever get constipation or diarrhea. I poop normally. Pooping means nothing to me, its whatever.

I always assumed everyone else was the same way. However, I live in San Francisco where we have thousands of homeless people who aren't allowed to use public bathrooms - so they just poop on the street. Residents love to complain about this but few offer up solutions. I stated facts that Homeless people are human beings, and all humans need to poop regardless of their financial stability. If bathrooms are not made available then Homeless will poop in the street. Therefore, more public bathrooms built w/ taxpayer money, and not associated with any private businesses should be built.

That seemed like a fair solution. But I was met with pushback, mainly from people who argued that a healthy human doesn't need to poop more than once a day. In this regard there is plenty of time within a person's day to find a public bathroom. I argued that I think most people poop twice a day, and considering there are about 2 thousand homeless people and only 50 public bathrooms throughout the city, that the motivation to simply poop in the street is heightened because the trouble to find one (coupled w/ the waiting times) aren't worth the risk/reward.

The Actual Truth of The Matter!

Nope, my suggestions were promptly debunked! I was sent a link to the following, which confirms that most people poop once a day. Not only that but upon further review, it is completely normal for a person to poop up to 3x a day, or 3x a week.

This is astonishing to me! As someone who has pooped regularly throughout their day since the time I was born...it all makes perfect sense now. When the teach use to deny me the ability to go to the bathroom because I "should have gone during lunchtime." The, what I thought were fucking ridiculous, amount of wiping products and expensive toilet aids like squatty potties...which I just learned that 1/10 Americans own. Then of course, the fucking covid-19 Toilet Paper fiasco.

Pooping doesn't mean anything to me, because it's apart of my daily life. I poop wherever, whenever, free of embarrassment. I use whatever toilet paper is available, have never used a wet wipe, scoff at squatty potties, and don't both masking the smell. For me, pooping is as easy as breathing. But for somebody who only poops once every three days (which is also normal) I can imagine that when the urge to poop happens it must be a terribly traumatic experience full of anxiety. I never even considered that!

Mind = Blown!

ngl I'm someone who's very anxious when doing number 2 so I only poop at home with all my clothes off in which I step into the shower right after. It's usually once a day but I do occasionally have it up to once every 3 days if I'm very busy.

I thought this as well. Me and my wife have no issues going to the toilet in front of each other and even make jokes about it. I'm amazed the number of people who aren't comfortable with their SO enough to do this.
