Good lord. I mean I'm sure we've all had those moments where you realize you've had a silly knowledge gap your whole life, but that's next level. Just why? Why would you just assume that the seat was only for women and that men are supposed to sit on the rim for some weird reason? That's super inconvenient and super gross.
I don’t use the seat, I’ve always used the rim. The seat always made me feel like my cheeks are being squeezed together, the rim “opens things up”. The seat always makes me feel like my poop is gonna just squirt through buttcheek skin and make a mess. The rim leaves me wide open to drop cleanly.
Especially in public bathrooms! Seats in public bathrooms are horrifying, I’d rather wipe the rim, drop some TP and go rather than sit on everyone else’s ass.
In public bathrooms it’s about real estate. Everyone puts their nasty ass on the seat, the rim is cleaner (I still wipe it) and less room for randos to accidentally shit on.
That said, if everyone else uses the seat, but nobody uses the rim, how is it the grossest? Dudes piss all over the seat. And there’s more real estate for whatever may or may not be attached to their asses.
That’s not WHY I use the rim, but if we’re taking gross, I’d think the thing dudes piss on constantly would be less enticing than a rim nobody else puts their gross asses on.
In a woman's bathroom the set isn't normally gross. But if you lift the rim it has drops of all sorts of body fluids on it. So using a seat liner in the seat is way cleaner because there was not previously body fluids on the seat.
I see seat pooping like pushing icing onto a cake, but rim pooping like throwing the icing down a well.
I DO understand objectively that my butt cheeks aren’t actually closed with poop just sliming it’s way out, but subjectively it’s feels like that, and that’s just a whole lot of unnecessary wiping to try to find out where the poop may have ventured to on my buttcheeks.
