No but I let my girl thread the needle while I’m dropping a deuce. And they say chivalry is dead. ---

> [@Terr](#): > > huh? Pretty much this. I thought at first the OP was talking obliquely about having sex with your spouse, but then reading on I was kind of taken aback. I didn’t know folks did this, or why they would unless they have some sort of peeing fetish (golden toilets? :eek:). Seems messy and rather unpleasant to me, but I’m a live and let live sort of guy so if folks like to do this, well, knock yourself out…or make all the mess you like. Just don’t do it at my house, please, or if you are going to, do it in the shower where the cleanup is easier. 😛 ---

Never heard the term used outside of sewing and football before opening this thread. Never even crossed my mind that people would do this, and if it had, it certainly wouldn’t have crossed my mind to do it. Hell, my wife and I have managed to get through nearly a quarter-century of marriage without either of us seeing the other use the john, and I plan on its staying that way for another quarter-century. ---

> [@Skammer](#): > > We don’t even enter the bathroom if the other one is peeing. It preserves an aura of mystery in the relationship. Are you just now dating? Surely erotica trumps mystery. That said, no to threading the needle to save time. Golden shower maybe, saving time - no. ---

No, my house has three sinks, two toilets, a tub, a shower, a back yard, and I like to remain married. You’re limiting your restroom experiences by focusing on that little hole. The world is your restroom! (Seriously, poop out of a tree someday. It’s got a certain carefree, bombs away quality that can’t be matched.) ---
