Wondering Why Men Spend So Much Time In The Toilet? Experts Have An Answer Now

Men spending a long time in the restroom has intrigued women for generations. This trend, possibly since private toilets were introduced, is a common theme on social media and discussed by experts. While it amuses women, specialists suggest that men's extended bathroom breaks might be linked to their generally better gut health compared to women.

Gastroenterologist Kyle Staller expressed, "I think anyone who knows a man knows it’s true that men do spend longer in the toilet or on the toilet than women do, but in reality [they] are much less likely to have bowel issues and chronic constipation than women are."

Gastrointestinal psychologist Madison Simons from the Cleveland Clinic suggested a biological explanation, emphasizing the need for relaxation to facilitate the digestive process. She explained that men possess a unique ability to smoothly transition between the tense fight-or-flight sympathetic state and the relaxed parasympathetic state, termed a "binary switch," crucial for proper digestion. This ability promotes what Simons calls a "rest and digest function."

In this state of relaxation, individuals find solace from the daily stressors of life. Simons proposed that men might simply be savoring this relaxation period before re-entering their busy lives. The bathroom, with its seclusion, provides a brief respite from responsibilities like childcare or work problem-solving.

UNIVERSITY STUDENT DIES AFTER MASTURBATING 42 TIMES IN A NIGHT.

  CAUTION   By Abrakwa Jacob Kojo  1 minute read Following 42 instances of nighttime masturbation, the authorities officially declared the death of a Brazilian adolescent named David Garcia. He is said to have started masturbating at midnight and passed out a few hours later, into the next morning. His mother claimed to have knowledge of his addiction. But because her kid passed away before she could, she was tardy in getting him care. His school pals made remarks about how they had seen their friend struggle with addiction. He primarily urged them to watch pornography, they said. Regardless of their race or physical characteristics, he also felt an odd fascination to the female students. His room also had a lot of obscene images. This event took place in 2011.
