How do you deal with the dreaded "Bathroom Issue"??...You know, when you realize that you're about to stink up your love interest's bathroom for the first time...lol

Do you take:

1) The Cool Approach: you play it cool, closing the bathroom door afterwards and "accidentally" keeping the fan on...

2)The Screw It Approach: you lose all pretense, waving your hand behind you when you leave the bathroom and letting out a hearty "Whooo!!" as you do...

3) The Diplomatic Approach: you issue a warning of "Oh..you might not wanna go in there for awhile" with a nonchalant expression...

4) The Sneaky Approach: you become sneaky, and plan your "movements" around showertime, hoping that by the time you're finished, any scents and smells will have dissipated...

5) The Avoidance Approach: you avoid the issue completely, and utilize the bathrooms at restaurants and the movies whenever you can...

6) The No Worries Approach: you're one of the very few who's shit literally does not stink, so no worries on your end...


So...just how do you deal with the dreaded "Bathroom Issue"??...

I'd choose

3) The Diplomatic Approach

I am not at all pee shy. I could piss in front of a dozen nuns. However when it comes to squeezing my sphincter until it exudes the previously consumed products, my hole closes tighter than the eye of a needle!

If I can use the restroom in your place, that means I'm very comfortable

Bring her with you and say "This is how it is , take it or leave it?".

ICKY!

Byron honey, is this what you think about all day?

#1 I go to the toilet to poo when it feels like I will shit myself. Which leads to #2...
#2 I go so fast, there isn't time for smell. It is done and flushed.
#3 If for some reason it isn't a quick job, I try the 'Paper-Tap-Spray' effect. Pad the toilet with paper - no splash sounds. Turn the tap on - just to make sure incase the paper fails. Spray the bathroom - masks smells.
#4 Opening a window helps too.
#5 As long as marks aren't left round the bowl, the other person ought to be close enough to see poo-ing as a natural bodily function, and that at least they didn't leave half of themselves on the bowl (God that's gross... ) and they won't care about a little bit of a whiff. I wouldn't anyway!

I just walk out with a smile and say "welcome to my world".

I can't remember what I used to do if that happened. Now that I live with my boyfriend for over 3 years, we keep incense and matches in the bathroom and take care of it. If the incense needs time to do it's work and we notice the other going in right after, we give hints. "You might want to wait a while..." or my favorite "is it stinky?" Usually my boyfriend quotes The Marathon Man and says "Is it safe?" if he's going in right after me.

Number 1

Oh yeah! I do that alot too.

Fuck that my new roommate just cause I used her kitchen knife to open something....WTF

imo this is the sort of thing you want to talk about with your honey ON THE FIRST DATE so as to take away from the nervousness of the thing. in fact, bring the subject up over dinner with your potential new love, being sure to make a lot of flirtatious eye contact. you might try various conversational approaches to introduce the topic like, "say, you know what your mashed potatoes remind me of?" or "before we get too involved with each other, there's something i have to know" and then ask about her bathroom habits.

because i think in order for love to work you need honesty and in order for honesty to work you have to be open. completely open, with absolutely no boundaries whatsoever, right from the very start. so let your lover know you want to be completely honest as it's best to work things out in advance of the 'dreaded' moment. that way, you'll avoid a serious pitfall to your relationship


or, you could hope that by the time you're spending that much time at his/her place, you're comfortable enough that it's not an issue or it can be laughed/talked about.

There's a odor mask ad on this thread. lol

Holy stinkin' cheese doodles...you've developed your own system there...

I would take the diplomatic approach, than trying to hide it.

Best to keep an air freshener in the bathroom to spray.

Pinch your nose and hold your breath.....

Breathe deep. Get high off the fumes!

LittlePill said:

Ahhhhh - some of this

no no no...

come out the bathroom with a big fat smile and say...

"god damn, i feel 3 pounds lighter"

look at your love interest...and finish with

"...what, jealou?!"









next friday

Wow, what a shitty thread! Huh huh! (Beavis & Butthead-like laughter)

Seriously, I don't worry so much about the smell as I do plugging up the toilet or something stupid like that. So I usually just try 2 take a shit at home or at a restaurant.

Open a window and light a match (yes, the match thing really does work).
