> and at least 15-20 minutes of it is done while shitting

One of things I understood too late is what a proper shit takes 2-3 minutes at worst, I just used that time to be alone with my things and thoughts.

YMMV, of course.

Take your upvote and wipe.
I actually take my time because of something I heard years ago - that it's the hurrying that does damage down there. My shits are actually pretty healthy, but I just take my time, don't strain, and don't hurry things. If I don't have 15 minutes to shit, I'm overscheduled.

Of course in the previous comment I talk about a... proper shit, when everything works. But again, different folks have a differnt needs.
