This ass wiping while standing thing is just fucking nuts to me. I have enough room between my ass and the toilet edge to drive a toy Tonka fire truck through, if I wanted.
ETA: Like this one, for example.
I stopped doing that when I was 4. Apparently a Tonka could plug the toilet.
Indeed it is; it’s highly dependent on the individual toilet and auto-flush valve involved.
Some years ago auto-flush units were installed on all the toilets at my place of employment. The ones on the sit-down toilets in the men’s room were extremely annoying, as they would flush at the slightest provocation, spraying your nether regions as though you had dangled them above Niagara Falls. In short order, it became routine to enter a stall and see that a previous user had forcibly twisted the flush unit so that the sensor was staring at the wall instead of your back, effectively making it a manually-operated push-button flush mechanism. The facilities management people finally got the message, and the auto-flush units had their sensitivities tweaked so that they reliably waited to flush until you dismounted.
I’m in a squat I guess. Supported only by feet, torso forward enough for balance. Ass clear of the seat.
also ass wiping is done easier on a high rise toilet seat.
You know, there is a whole world of people out there doing things different than you. Imagine! The whole Arab world “left hand and a bowl of water” thing is even more “fucking nuts”. And, bidets just seem like the “solution” is worse than the problem. Wasteful of water, with the risk for the clumsy or uninitiated of spraying aerosoled poop everywhere. And the less we talk of the three shells, the better!
Maybe it’s the whole “we don’t talk of that” when it comes to bathroom behavior? What adult would ever ask another, effectively, “how should I wipe my butt?” So we all get by, but every day we risk exposure to the world that We Don’t Wipe Correctly! Not even blatant errors like little white flecks (oh those ignorant bears!), but just not even being in the correct approved position! O, the whole world is passing judgement! How will I ever face anyone again? (Good thing they don’t know about my prehensile rectum!)
Well, good for you! You must be so proud!
I never knew there was a Tonka truck standard measurement for ass-to-seat clearance. Learn something every day.
dogs were the earliest domesticated animal for a reason.
Are you sure they were? I thought it was useful (milk/meat) herd animals such as goats & sheep.

Have you ever seen an auto toilet with NO manual flush? Now that’s stupid. The auto flush toilets I’ve seen have a delay between flushes, so they don’t flush a few times in a row.
I’ve heard the auto faucets actually save water. They seem to be taking over.
