#2 goes faster with reading material
I can’t, and will not do “#2″ at my house without reading material. It seems to make the entire process go faster. If I have to, I will read shampoo bottles, and the back of random items such as toothpaste ingredients. If I haven’t anything to read, it seems to take 2x as long to go.

benzine is in so many things I found out.
I’ve never really understood that
I mean, unless I’m having problems, “#2″ doesn’t take a very long time.
I find that most people usually take longer when they take something to read. Consequently, I hate reading anything in the bathroom.
Me too! Am I neurotic?
I’ve found that the washing instructions on my pants label will do in a pinch.
Me too, I can’t go unless I read but there can’t be any pictures or I’m too embarrassed to go.
I have the same problem, and I’ve spent a bit of time thinking about it. Here are my two conclusions:
1) I can’t poop if I’m thinking about pooping. If I think about it too hard, I tense up, and I can’t go. But if I read something, it distracts me and I’m able to let it flow. My mom told me that when she was potty training me she would put my little potty in front of the tv and I’d sit on it and watch cartoons. I often wonder if that is connected to the need to read.
2) I also have an issue with ‘wasting time’. I always have to have reading material with me in case I get stuck somewhere with nothing to do. It kills me to be on the train or in a waiting room with nothing to read. Even if I end up not reading, I need to at least know I have something to read should I choose to. I feel like if I don’t have anything to do I am wasting time and I’m a bad person.
