OK so just a heads up, this is not a topic that is graphic in an emet or mature sense but it's still maybe a bit on the side of TMI (y'all know how we love to obsess about our bowel habits...)

I've never shared the experience of spending more than two minutes in a bathroom in order to have a BM - when I have to go, it's more "urgent"... I've never understood why people would need reading material in the restroom, honestly. Even when I was younger and chronically constipated, it hurt to go and didn't happen as often as it should have but I never had to "sit there and read." I asked my mom and she said it was because of my IBS... So, erm, I was wondering if any of you all have a similar experience? Or the opposite? Insight?
