I had to read it. lol And you know after reading this, folks are going to try crapping while their legs are crossed.
On another note, bathroom breaks are an area of combat and contracting that has not been covered. It is the constant of your life, that does not ever stop. So when in horrible conditions like war, your body could care less. If it is time to do your business, you need to have a plan so you don't get killed while doing your business. I don't think the military even covers this in training, unless they go over it in today's bootcamps?
Quote: The method his master taught for relieving oneself had been passed down for generations untold. When one would go to the outhouse, he would remove his right leg fully from his clothes. This was to give him full mobility. Yes, it would be odd to fight someone off when you were on the john, but imagine your feet being tied together when you were attacked on said john vs. your legs moving freely.
Secondly was body position and posture. The samurai would sit squarely on the seat, cross his leg so that his right ankle rested on his left knee (his left foot remained on the ground), place a hand on each knee, then straighten his back. Supposedly this aligns the bowels to help one from having to strain. You may think it seems like a bunch of malarkey, but this one actually works. If you have ever felt like there is a plumbing issue when you sit down, then pay attention. Take your time, have some patience, and you will get the yoga version of Draino on your system that has been passed down from samurai warlords of old. I have literally felt a swirling sensation during the act of evacuation.
Try it out to see for yourself.
