Chris, I have always liked you. I like you very much in fact. I enjoy your posts is what I mean. Let's make sure we don't fight.
And a bed! Snoring, sleeping with your mouth open, drooling, talking in your sleep, all kinds of weirdness! I mean if you are going to live with someone, you had better be prepared for that stuff.
Yes....my wife snored like a freight-train!! She finally had to wear a c-pap. Not really conducive to late-night antics....
I don't see why normal bodily functions should be SO embarrassing. Everyone poops! It doesn't make me feel uncomfortable if I am comfortable with the person that I'm with, though I would prefer my privacy, but it is going to happen sometimes. No big deal.
My uncle has sleep apnea and has to wear one of those masks at night. He says it is very uncomfortable and that he takes it off in his sleep without even realizing it.
Well, I think if you are turned off by the other person because they go to the bathroom, then your relationship is probably not very solid.
People who have never lived with another person (or a lover at least) probably would find it horrifying. Lol! Things change when you move in with a person and share your life with that person.
The only "No-Go" situation I've ever had while cohabiting with a significant other, is toilet usage. Any/all communication during "important usage time" happens with the door CLOSED.
I think it's partially a matter of consideration. Sometimes it's best to warn the love of your life to wait a bit before using the bathroom after a particularly odious session on the throne. Oh and don't forget to open the window. I can't believe I am discussing this!!
My wife and I share our floss picks with each other. But we each have our own poopin' rooms in the bathroom. I'm 6'-5" tall and prefer a 17" ADA height bowl. She has standard height bowl and bidet on her side. I close the door when I sit on the throne but she doesn't. But you really can't look at someone sitting there unless you do it deliberately.
I think a lot of times that some women might be a little less inhibited than some men in regards to some things. After you've had a couple of children, there is no such as modesty anymore.
I used to fart under the covers and then lift the covers. I thought it was funny. My wife...not so much. I don't do it any more.
I've been with one of my girls 10 years. The other for 6. Why do I need your validation, or the courts validation, for what I do in the privacy of my home?
"Everyone poops!" Isn't that a book for toddlers? Ha! It's not a matter of embarrassment, but I do think think taking a dump in front of your SO is one of the many things that wear away at the romantic aspect of a long term relationship.
Perhaps for some people it does. It's not like you go in there on purpose to sit there and watch anyway! Lol! If you have to share a bathroom though, that is bound to happen once in a while.
To tell you the truth I never realized girls pooped until my stinky daughter was born and I had to change her diapers. .
With all respect Chris, this is a little along the lines of 'the teenage perspective'. It's a romantic notion, but long term reality is best served with with a little distance. There will be more romance later on (when it really counts).
When you've had three, minus the benefit of pain killers/gas/opiates to befuddle you, and your bloke insists on being down the business end for the crucial moment (and why wouldn't you, after all .. it's the most amazing thing on earth to see your child born), there is no further use for modesty, but we can still reclaim some
