I will defer to the experts to opine on this matter. @pmvines
Oh sh!t
I'm stuck
@Sooson you now owe me a soda. @pmvines waiting... waiting...
@Sooson That was the first name I thought of as well!!
Personally I'm usually in and out as I'm usually crowning already but if I take my phone in with me it can be longer. Which is why this generation is having incidents of hemorrhoids the likes as have never seen before
Great…now where am I supposed to do my reading?
All men take notes lol
Disclaimer: I am not a physician. This is not medical advice. Only my own experience.
If I sit for more than 5 minutes, that's an indicator of a problem. A stool softener (I use miralax) and a fiber supplement (psyllium powder) should greatly the need to sit for prolonged periods.
My observation of my practices, eating mainly green leafy vegetables and fruits tends to make this a nonissue. Even though i may tend to be scrolling one of the devils social media tools that keep me sitting until my legs turn to static.
I have also found that eating a healthy diet with decent amounts of fiber makes this a non-issue for me as well. I have also found that gentle exercise like walking stimulates the body, helping with healthy elimination.

@Sooson you now owe me a soda.
So you're not charging me for the wet shirt? But in any case, you're too classy for soda. let's upgrade to some expensive red wine.
Do not sit on toilet for more than 10 minutes
It's fine as long as you're getting sh*t done.
@TxTom how did you get a pic of my office!
"Who knew this was a thing?"
My parents, 25 years ago in the 90's, when I snuck library books into the bathroom and they threatened, "You're gonna get hemorrhoids!" 🤣
I heard once that it should take 13 seconds to do one's business. 10 minutes is definitely something to talk to a doctor about, if you're actually straining for 10 minutes and not reading or scrolling. Don't become the next Elvis, folks.
