Bathroom & Other personal habits

[TN_Vixen]

Am I alone in this? Personally I have no desire to watch my mate clip his tonenails, floss his teeth, take a shit, pick at various scabs or pimples on his body.... and this is just from memory of having been married for 7 yrs.... even after having been divorced for 5. WTF?

Growing up, I canNOT ever remember hearing my Mother fart, burp, see her scratch her ass, pluck her eyebrows or douche.

So.... although I love to watch a man shave, face/pubic hair, love to watch him shower and primp, I don't have any desire whatsoever to listen to his farts - watch him pick his nose, or hear about his latest deposit in the toilet.... I swear that living with someone either with the certificate or not can sometimes press the envelope.

Anyone else feel the same way?

 

[Silverlily]

Yes! A resounding yes! (and a few amens)

^5 Kitten.

Is it me or is the reason why most of the men on the board refuse to post on this specific thread because they themselves are guilty, guilty, GUILTY? hehe

 

[Roll-One]

Not Guilty

i cannot agree more without busting a blood vessel. i agree wholeheartedly. completely and utterly. My SO doesn't seem to see the problem with it, especially after being with someone for two years who reveled in that kind of "closeness" as well. i don't know why she seemed to enjoy that but to each her own. anyhow, i have to say my own is that i'm private about it, and i intend to keep it that way! oh, and sweetie, if you're reading, you already knew i minded, but i can bitch with other women, can't i?

 

[ManOSafety]

I agree wholeheartedly

There are just so many things that I'd really rather not see my wife do. Two that stand out because I made it clear to her early in our marriage that I'd rather not see are cutting her toenails and flossing her teeth. And she's always made it clear that she expects privacy when either of us is in the bathroom, of course, that's changed a bit with a 4 year old in the house who just barges on into any room that he feels like at any time....but for the time being that's a little more acceptable.


BTW: It's so fun to be in the middle of making love and hear your child kicking the door, wailing, "Let me in" and "what are you doing?"...ahhh, the joys of parenthood

At least yours knocked.

Re: Re: I agree wholeheartedly

At least yours knocked.

But that's only when the door is locked and he can't just barge in. I forgot to include that part earlier .

 

[lala]

i've come close to beating other people's children for barging into the bathroom before,... it's my pet peeve! as far as parenting- notonly do you have no privacy now, but you will be "mommy and daddy" for the rest of your lives!!! my sweetie hadn't seen my earlier post when i talked to him a half an hour ago, i wonder if that's changed?

 

[CreamyLady]

I grew up in a house with five people and one bathroom, so privacy was at a premium and one did get used to unexpected interruptions of the gross kind.

I do prefer to do my own ablutions in private, and don't really wish to share in the ablutions of others. Except for, perhaps, a shower or bath together, but that's different.

I really, really want to live in a house with two bathrooms. Really.

 

[Easy Boy]

Guilty as charged

Well, I guess I am. Maybe not with a capital G. I wouldn't take a shit in front of anyone, but I don't think much of clipping my toenails. I do make sure the clippings get into a wastebasket. Can this get me a reduced sentence?

 

[Juliangel]

I agree with you. It smells bad enough when he is done, I really do not want to be in there while he is doing it.

My time in the bathroom is the only time I have alone so to keep them from beating on the door, I lock my bedroom door, turn on the radio and shut the bathroom the bathroom door. They are muffled that way and I get some peace.

 

[pandora]

I have to agree with you. My ex would always call me when he was in the bathroom, I'd always stand outside the door and he couldn't understand why. As for the kids, they never stop knocking or barging in at inappropriate times.

 

[R Nitelight]

You know, the bathroom doors are there for a reason.

 

[Skibum]

I'm all for sharing a shower or bath, but I like the two bathroom idea.

 

[Expertise]

If nothing else my time in the forces taught me to appreciate "quiet time" in the "bathie".

Further. Personal hygiene and grooming should be, until it is accomplished a PERSONAL thing. Nothing wrong with a shared shower or bath though.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Hell, I don't even want to be reading this thread...

 

[Golden]

but you are, Dixon, you are ...

we have a bathroom off our bedroom; door only ever closed if one is having a bath and wants to get up a good fug. Mrs G and I have pretty much always done everything in front of each other; though we tend to respect privacy during a dump, it's not total. also whatever bodily habits and functions I may have which are considered by some on this thread as gross ... we both have! And Mrs G is the only one of us to be found occasionally plucking hairs from her chest!
In fact she is clearly descended from the primates - a natural groomer of herself and of all the family. Very useful it is to have someone who happily does the blackheads you can't see for yourself! ... perhaps there is a little mystery missing? But on the intimacy, we thrive!

Oh and the boys now aged 12 and 15 ... becoming no more discreet about barging in, but we do take care to give them some privacy as they are at the embarrassed age. I do wonder sometimes what they think of us!

Good ole southern cooking---eat a big plate of white beans, turnip greens, mashed potatoes, corn bread, a couple of slices of pork streak of lean, and a big ole slice of onion and you're going to do some farting, so you had better keep the bathroom closed and locked when you're doing your business...and yes, taking a shit is a private thing..

 

[*Eve*]

Ok, Maybe I am just from a wierdo family or something but when I was growing up if someone passed gas they would say excuse me and that would be that, of course it could possibly clear out the others from the room but that's never really been a big deal to us, it's a bodily function, and everyone does it at one point in thier lives. Sometimes everyday. Of course as I have gotten old I know to excuse myself to the bathroom if I have the urge but If someone does that around me, I understand accidents happen sometimes.
On the flipside, here are two gross stories. When I was younger my two little brothers would fart in each other's faces and say "smell my cologne". Uhhhh, boys are so gross.
Second, I have a co-worker (true story) in her thirties, and she does it all the time. She will come in you cubicle amd break wind without even interrupting the conversation and pretend that it didn't happen. She is so gross. She does it often which has earned her the nick name of Nasty. Everyone in my department has a can of aerosol handy in case she comes by.
