Peeing, pooping, bleeding, vomitting, farting, etc. are all disgusting, unfortunate, but necessary aspects of the everyday human life. Although
everyone does it, and although
everyone knows they do it, not
everyone is comfortable sharing it. No one really likes to talk about it. I mean, it's usually
not the topic of choice especially during a friendly gathering, or even at the dinner table. So, why the fuck are we talking about it? It is simply because eventually, we just have to. I mean, I'm not suggesting that people should bring it up during normal conversation, but sometimes, we just need to
get it out of the way.
Eventually, we all just need to accept it. It's just a part of being a healthy human being, and it's not something to make a big deal out of. You just go, do it, and forget about it. But when one is sharing a bathroom with multiple people, does performing certain bodily functions suddenly become a much bigger deal? For some people, yes, and for others, no; however, many can agree with me that performing this type of business is best when done alone. Why? Well, because it is just down right disgusting!
Why would you want someone to be in the bathroom with you while you do your thing? It is not a fun, or exciting activity! Even if you were my boyfriend, spouse, or lover, I would not want to invite you into the bathroom for a poo-poo party! Why some people don't mind it, I don't know(because their crazy). No, I really just don't know. I guess for some people, it's not such a big deal and since it is such a private activity, some people think that having their lover witness such actions would break some sort of uncomfortable barrier. I guess it's true, but I am thoroughly content just knowing that my boyfriend is accepting of the fact that I need to do my business. I don't need him to walk into the bathroom while I'm changing my tampon and strike a conversation with me. That would be just disgusting.
I understand that if two people love each other, certain bodily functions that need to be performed will be accepted. I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do. He or she needs to do it too or else, shit! where you gonna go do it? It's natural, so a lot of lovers understand that. However, there is a bathroom, and bathrooms are specific rooms made with a door for people to do those kind of things, privately. Whether you choose to have your lover in the room with you or not while your doing your thing, it is still just fucking nasty.
It's not an understanding thing, it's not a trust thing, it's not an accepting thing, it's just a nasty thing. Why would you choose to go watch each other do their business?(unless you were into that kind of thing) It isn't a pleasant activity to witness!
Now I'm not talking about your lover being uncomfortable with these type of actions. I mean, the person you love and live with should be unaffected by the fact that you do it too. But does that mean your lover should be so unaffected by it that they should waltz into the bathroom while your taking a number 2 and strike a conversation? I mean, is there a certain limit? Hells the fuck yes! I don't want my boyfriend to watch me poop, like, ew, get the fuck out!
Or even worse! WATCHING ME CHANGE MY TAMPON OR PAD EW. That, my friends is just entirely INAPPROPRIATE. It's just disgusting! I wouldn't want my boyfriend to see all that unnecessary nasty-ness. Sure, it's fine if you know, i'm sleeping next to him and i happened to have a little "accident" and he was completely understanding. But I would never, ever invite my lover to come watch me, ::cringe:: change my tampon.
That is that.
The even more disturbing part of this post is that there are people out there who are actually really uncomfortable with the idea of doing these things under the same roof of their lover. I say, "If I'm fucking him, I'm gonna pee, poop, or change my pad/tamp..."
in the bathroom of course.

Read the article. Then you'll understand. And if you don't feel like it, here are some quotes from the article that may or may not help you understand why i was ranting about certain bodily functions. If you still don't understand, then, uhm, well this is awkward.
"I knew it was love when my BF at the time and I were camping and he had to take a beer-shit in the woods while I held the flashlight so that he could wipe. However, he is a bit squeamish about blood, so he has seen me do my period stuff, but I don't make him look/or make it a show or anything. Mostly he's brushing his teeth or something and glances over, but it's never longer than a glance."
" One time I pulled one out and *grossness ahead* a blood clot came flying out with it. I almost gagged, and I doubt my bf would be all "nice blood clot"... I just think it can be unexpectedly messy"
"With regards to poop: I went through an entire year and a half relationship without farting in front of, or pooping in the same house as the guy I was dating. We weren't living together, but he was always so weirded out about it, and refused to say anything about it. Needless to say, I think I have permanent intestinal problems as a result of his lack of grab on reality"
"I had a boyfriend pull one out of me in a strangely erotic way.
It helped that we were both high as fuck."
'nuff said.
