    I was shocked when I found out how common external/bleeding hemorrhoids can be(Almost 3/4 adults will have them from time to time).

    Then it all clicked when I realized people sit on the toilet for 15min+, which is a major contributor to that condition.

      My wife can sit on the toilet for 45 minutes. I don’t get it. I want to get on and off that thing as quickly as possible. Why do you want to hover over poo?

      When I get hemorrhoids, it’s not from sitting for long periods. It’s due to my need for a poop bat’leth. I take Klingon sized poops.

      I’d say it’s more of a revelation to me that sitting on the toilet seat itself for long periods causes hemorrhoids, than hemorrhoids being common in general.

      I’ve been there for an hour a couple of times, I’ve never had it so I would never notice lol. I guess it’s time to avoid it altogether.
