Has nothing to do with age for me. Been reading on the throne for as long as I can remember!
I once read (while in the lobby) a pamphlet in a docs office saying if your in there long enough to read anything; your constipated. If thats the case 90% something percent of ppl I know are constipated…lol…
Yup I read; have a drawer for the magazine or book I am reading @ the time.G/f doesn’t let me put a lil rack…lol…says “What will ppl think?!?”… I tell her "HMMM…whats he reading’ if they see the rack…lol
It’s the norm I say.

On what wideguy wrote. Have any of you ever been shit on, or had someone shit on you or give you a hot lunch? Not that anyone of you would admit to this. I have thought about taking a shit on someone, or at least letting one slide while receiving oral stimulation. [/quote]
That later part you are referring to is affectionately known as a “Blumpkin” which is, in all honesty, one of my goals in life (receiving one that is)
Hell yeah.
And yes, I agree if I do get into the bathroom and theres no reading material it is quite a letdown. Because you sit there and you think “well… … I uhhh … I guess I have to take a dump now.”
With reading material, it just flows.
Its sorta like throwing a ball. If you think about it, it doesn’t seem right, if you just let it flow, it just … y’know…flows.
As a matter of fact, I think I’m gonna go pinch one off right now. Ayn Rand here I come.

And oftentimes, I’ll finish pooping, but I’ve just started my reading and I think “fuck that, I ain’t gettin up, I haven’t read enough yet.”

I thought a blumpkin was when you recieved oral while taking a shit. Or is that a Bumpkin? I might need to bust out the sexual slang dictionary. I think etiher one would be pretty damn cool.
Years ago, when I was a kid, I remember my dad taking a dump, reading the newspaper, smoking a cig, and drinking coffee - all ar the same time. He was a master of the alone time Kuz was talking about.
On a side note - that was the worst funks I believe I’ve ever smelled in my life.
Thought I would add this great aviation quote. I have been saving it for awhile and this thread seems the apporpriate one to roll it out:
“The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and, a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life where you get to experience all three at the same time.”
(Author unknown, but surely someone who’s been there)

No doubt. I was doing this when I was a kid, to the chagrin of my family.
“Aren’t you done YET?!”
“I’m reading!”
All right then… When I pinch off a turtlehead, I do it as fast as possible and get the hell out of the bathroom. Reading ? Are you kidding ? I’m not staying in there any longer than necessary.
I always figured the people who read in the head had a serious medical condition, like severe constipation. Why else would one not just get it done and move on ? Also, isn’t there an issue with contaminating the reading material ?
I have a few older mags in there (photography mags that I’m done reading) – if I feel the need, I’ll pick one up and just glance through at the pictures…I don’t wanna get too involved…and I only do end up picking one up maybe once a week if that. Like someone already said, I get in, finish my business, and get the fuck out – no need to stick around.

You do that too?
As a matter of fact, my buddy and I have stopped calling it the “bathroom” all together.
Couple months ago we started calling the bathroom the “reading room”.
The can is the only palce I read. The more I shit, the more educated I become.

I think Archie Bunker did that too.
I thought that I read somewhere that extended time on the throne can lead to hemerrhoids.
In any case I read if there is something to read but I dont make it a priority to grab some reading material. I have a bathroom on the second floor that has a nice view of my backyard and garden that I tend to look at while taking a shit.
Most of the time I shit at work though, something about being paid to take a dump really brightens my day!
I liked the idea of printing out some reading material before hand, I may start doing that.

I can second that. Nevertheless, it often is hard to repress the thought of innumerable guys already having planted their sweaty, furry gluteal region on the lavatory seat. Maybe that is where a good reading comes in handy.

“raid enough”?
Insecticide?
Your bowel movements are that toxic, bro?[/quote]
man, my dyslexia is getting worse.
WRT toxisity, it relates to the amount of beer consumed.
They are useful for insects too!
To those that are hung up on the time issue leading to hemoroids. It’s not like most of us are heading to the shitter with a copy of War and Peace!
It’s about having a magazine handy to help with what chrismcl so eloquently termed the flow. Although at times one may come across an article good enough to facilitate actually continuing reading past BM. Other articles you can just make into two and three parters for return trips.

I dunno…I think you’re a little touchy about the issue.
Yeah, I read. Usually keep catalogs in there b/c I try not to be in there long enough to study the box scores.
And, Wide, there’s nothing wrong with scat…if that’s what you’re into…who’m I to judge either you or rj???
I don’t know as I’d call the whole thing “nirvana” though…[/quote]
Well, you have to remember that Rainjack used to have Hank Hill as his avatar. If you remember the “King of the Hill” episode that revolved around Hank’s constipation you will realize that certain processes are a very touchy issue… =-)
Anyway, hell yeah on the reading in the john thing – my only problem is I eat so much fiber that time spent in process is minimal. I can’t get much read in there, which makes me want to remove said reading material and continue reading it over breakfast or on the Metro.
