I commented on Dr E's site about his regular references to peeing and pooing - I am envious of how relaxed men are about their bodily functions. After tanking up at a pub, they have absolutely no qualms about peeing publicly up against any available wall. In France, men peeing by the roadside is a common sight. A female friend of mind recently went to China, and they had a public loo in Beijing out in the open, where everyone just had a large umbrella propped in front of them to preserve their privacy - it covered the lower body from the waist down. She was so desperate she used it, but for me it would be instant constipation. I can swear like a docker when required, but I still find myself using euphanisms when talking about peeing and pooing - a coward's cop out. If I go into a loo in a hotel, club or restaurant and there is somebody else in there, I will either try to do a silent trickle near the edge of the bowl to be as silent as possible and if I need to poo I will wait til there is nobody else in there. Men seem to find farting publicly not just funny, but will take the piss out of each other about how loud, smelly etc. whereas women will smother giggles and pretend nothing happened. One day when I am old I am going to turn into an uninhibited, noisy, farting, pissing, shitting female.
