The bathroom is a mysterious place. What goes on inside varies for everyone, or maybe it doesn’t; we simply do not know. The question has prompted some discussion in the past, and I suspect it will continue to do so until we are all under 24-hour government surveillance, at which point the answers will be known by those with access to the government’s live feed. But for now, with the door closed, we can only suspect and ask questions. Here’s one: Do men enter the bathtub on their hands and knees in order to ensure their balls hit the water last?

No. What a hilarious notion.

I'm sure the author knows it's stupid. The fun part is how seriously she follows the thread.

Baths? Like filling the tub with water and getting into it? I don’t think men really do that at all.

Tell me you don't have back problems without telling me you don't have back problems, lol. (Written from my bath)

Yeah, that’s true. I’ve heard of this phenomenon, and soaking in epsom salts.
