Hi Lex. I came across your journal, read a little bit and was just about to leave, but then I read about your prostate problems.

So just in case you haven't tried it, this might help: squat when pooping and peeing (just like buddhist monks, btw). And I mean a full squat like the Chinese do. I say that because I've come across westerners who have no idea what to do in a squat toilet and attempt to sort of do a half squat where they keep their ass a foot above the toilet or something weird like that.

The modern toilet is just a silly invention, an attempt by western civilization to appear "civilized". You know, because sitting while crapping is civilized and squatting is what "primitive" cultures do.
