Before my first day of kindergarten, I was under the impression that every toilet came equipped with some sort of adjacent water shooting apparatus. In fact, it wasn’t until that fateful first day that I realized just how savage Americans really are. Because my family immigrated here...
Here you are, 30,000 feet above Oklahoma, when you get a whiff of an all-too-familiar scent: Yes, your bundle of joy has just pooped their diaper while you’re still at least two hours from your destination. So, what do you do now? Where do you change them, and...
A new study finds that one in six men who take a crap at work don’t always wash their hands afterward. It was a British study, so we know that they don’t take crap, they “have a poo” — but of all their crimes, it’s the lack of consistent...
S***, shower, shave: the three S’s of a successful grooming routine, but an elusive process to perfect. It takes a disciplined diet and schedule to become a same-time-every-day pooper. My own BM schedule is haphazard and borderline dangerous — too many times have I experienced the shame of the...

The idea of “blue balls” has always struck me as more of a defeated metaphor — disappointment over a hookup that fizzled out — rather than an actual medical condition. “I find it more appropriate to relate the color with how sad the situation really is,” sighed Sam, 32, to Bustle...
A new study from the University of Athens suggests that olive oil could be a good remedy for tackling erectile dysfunction — and no, we’re not talking about squirting some on your hand and using it to manually inspire a woody (although that’s totally okay, too). So is this...
People are so bad at wiping their butts, doctors have coined a condition to mock them for it. It’s called PAS, or “polished anus syndrome,” and it comes from, in part, Americans’ abysmal bathroom hygiene. After doing our business, we take dry, rough toilet paper and smear...
A 2016 study published in the Oxford Academic discovered that people who experience goosebumps when listening to music are more in touch with their emotions. Besides leaving us questioning our emotional capacities (and binge-listening our entire music library), this research also left us wondering: Why do we...
