So you can take a dump with some privacy, obviously.

There must be two types of people/couples.

Those that prefer privacy and those that don't care.

  • I would be surprised if private defecation is not a majority preference among couples.

    Even if I'm alone in a hotel room, I'd prefer to contain the odor to the bathroom.

  • And a third type, people who have had children so have gone through the toddler stage where a toddler would literally chainsaw and burn down a locked door before they let you have 3 seconds of peace to take a shit.

    • That's actually a very valid point I hadn't taken into consideration.

      If you're single or have a partner that you're comfortable with, open concept bathrooms feel luxurious. But if you need sanctity and salvation from the kids, I can get it.

  • I’ve actually ended otherwise decent relationships early because the other person was way too coy/upset with bodily functions like farting and pooping. If we’er sleeping together I expect us to be farting together. And if we are living together I expect us to be using the toilet in front of each other. Anything less is both inconvenient and reflective of deep personality conflicts that will never be resolved.

    • Sounds like there's going to be someone around who's bound to be the source of deep personality conflicts all right.

    • I have never in my life imagined that someone might break up with another person for the sole reason that the person refused to poop in front of them. That is honestly wild to me, but I appreciate your perspective, thanks for sharing.
