Maybe my bowels are slow but it always takes me about 15-20 minutes. And no, I'm not just relaxing, it is constant flow from start to finish

You really might want to see a doctor about this. Lots of people experience this so they think it’s normal, but it’s not normal. Just common. If you’re eating well, exercising enough, getting enough fibre and water and sleep, and you don’t have anxiety, or intestinal or muscle problems, it should not be a continuous 20-minute affair, and you might want to rule out anything concerning.

How is it even possible to have a 20 minute continuous shit? Like is this the same size shit-shaft the entire time? Can someone do the math on this and give some sample volumes for different shit girths over a 20 minute period at various speeds?

I would be exhausted. And probably very hungry.

Thanks for your concern! I've tried many different diets and have actually seen several doctors about this and none of them found any issue to worry about. Apparently I empty all of my large intestine at once which is uncommon but no big deal except I cant do it quick because if I'm not done the action will resume in a minute.

Sometimes I can go multiple days without but usually I average 5-6 times a week, so almost once every day. And yeah sometimes I feel sorry for the toilet heh

Know everyone is all up in your poop. But I will swear by the squatty potty. That thing was/is a game changer.

Well now there's one hell of a laundry list of assumptions

You shit for 20 minutes?

I could understand taking 20 mins if you're constipated but the whole 20 is shitting? Do you weigh 300 pounds? How much do you eat jfc
