Do you use the toilet in front of your partner?

That’s the story. I think the finger comes out of the sink drain, though - not the toilet.

:goes to look it up:

It’s both!

Gross, no. My girlfriend would ideally like me to leave the house, let alone the room, when she takes a dump. She also can’t do it in a public place such as work. She’s a classic anal retentive. I’m not quite that weird, but do like ‘toilet-time’ to be ‘me-time’.

I don’t do either #1 or #2 in front of my partner. My bladder is a little shy, and I hate having anyone in the bathroom when I’m busy.

I have, but I don’t care to.

I’ve had partners where we’d do so (#1 anyway, I don’t think I’ve done #2 in front of anyone) but my wife is firmly in the “Hell no” camp and so that’s how we run things. I think the closest we’ve come is a quick urination while the other person is in the shower with the curtains drawn.

Pee, yes, although it’s more that we don’t close the bathroom door. We have more than one bathroom, so we’d probably use an unoccupied one, but we don’t bother with doors to pee. Never poop, doors are closed. We also never fart in front of each other. Married almost 10 years now.

After 20 years and three kids, we don’t care anymore. The kids walk in on both of us too. We are a household without any privacy.

I voted “no” although it’s not so much a “gross!” thing as … I dunno, wanting to maintain some shred of mystery? Though, considering the sex we have, that’s kind of a funny concept. Anyway, the furthest we’ll go is have a quick pee while the other one is in the shower. (Our bathroom allows you to flush without scalding or freezing whoever’s in the shower, luckily.)

I also wait at the office bathroom till everyone else is gone before I poop. I’ve even taken the stairs to a different floor’s restroom to avoid having to poop with someone else in the bathroom.

Ah, yes. I used to subscribe to The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, or F&SF, back in the day. That was a while ago!

I do and he doesn’t seem to care in the slightest.

When he’s doing #2 he usually closes the door due to the smell factor. I think he sort of would prefer some privacy, but he doesn’t insist, and besides cat #1 seems to think that the bathroom is the Official Cat Petting Zone anyway.

I don’t, but my spouse has almost zero sense of modesty. It only bothers me in the sense that I sometimes walk into the area while she’s on the throne and feel like I’m intruding on her privacy. Kinda silly, since she doesn’t feel the need for privacy.

What she said. :smiley:

#1 but not #2. Since we’re both male, sometimes #1 at the same time.

No, we don’t. And with little kids, I’ve learned to lock the door for privacy. My wife gets visitors all the time when she’s on the toilet.

I wouldn’t be surprised if my wife (got married two days ago) asked me to build an entire addition for her, well-removed from the master suite, with an emphasis on privacy, so she could have her own full bath, dressing area and girly zone.

In lieu of that, the entire master suite (bedroom/bath) is for her when she says so. She wants me to have my privacy, and vice versa.

She can strut around naked and me, too. She is fit/attractive and just wants to be the girliest girl I can imagine. And I am all for it.

(She is 39 and I am 43, for what that’s worth)

When I was in high school, my best friend and I dated two boys who were cousins. The boys told us that when they were little, they would pee together, thereby making them “pee brothers”. We told them we were “shit sisters”. :slight_smile:

We weren’t really, you know…

Absolutely not. And it really, really bothers me. My boyfriend teases me all the time about how it makes me uncomfortable. His bathroom door doesnt have a lock so when he’s being a total jerk (he thinks its hilarious) he’ll open the door while I’m in there just to freak me out. It really upsets me and one night I couldn’t use the restroom for 3 hours because everytime I tried he’d burst open the door. I was so mad that when he got bored and stopped, I still didn’t trust him and was too worried to go so I held it in till he went to sleep.

I almost broke up with him the next day.

Mazeltov! (I beat you by two days, so technically, I’ve been married twice as long as you and can give you all sorts of condescending marital advice! :D)

Wow, I’m surprised at how many people have issues with this. We won’t follow one another in there or anything but if I’m brushing my teeth and he has to go or if he is in the shower and I have to go or whatever it isn’t an issue at all. This is a man who has held my hair back for me while I barfed. I’ve cleaned his back hair out of the shower drain. We occasionally have sex while I’m on my period. Seriously, we’ve done way grosser things than being in the same room together while one of us makes.

After you see a woman give birth, there isn’t any mystery left.
