Talk:Defecation

Do we really need a picture?

I won't edit it but do we really need a picture of a cow laying down a huge turd? Is it really needed to get the point across? Ewwwwwwwwww!

Same. I was eating when I saw that. :'( --Sinewaves23 06:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Frankly, picture or no, if you're eating while you visit the "defecation" article, you deserve everything you get. Some people. PacificBoy 04:18, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Well, I think we could use a picture of a WOMAN laying down a huge turd!

It shows a little bit of the spectrum of defecation, with the illustration of the human rectum, and then representation of the other members of the animal kingdom! I wouldn't want this page to be accused of being overly anthropocentric. Further, with the issues of runoff from farms, cow defecation is certainly tied to the bigger environmental and social issues around defecation as a whole! Now, pretty much everyone knows what poop is, and that everyone poops. But just because information is understood doesn't mean we have to exclude it. I think it's the best of all possible pictoral examples of defecation. If not for this, someone would surely post a picture of someone squatting in the grass. Think of that! 23:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

It seems as if some idiot put a picture of a cow defecating. That is not needed i think i understand defecation. I don't need to see a cow pooping. Please get rid of it. The image is stuck in my head. (Glass of water 04:00, 14 July 2006 (UTC))

It's a good image; it demonstrates the action without being too gross. You were asking for trouble eating while reading about defecation to begin with! 65.95.157.80 05:41, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Eating while looking at defecating? Nice move! Tourskin 03:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Why the hell are you looking at the defecation page while eating? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.25.86.8 (talk) 23:01, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

This does not need a picture of a real person using the toilet, the drawing that's already there is good enough. 70.48.182.37 (talk) 00:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I think that a image besides the drawing and the pooping seagull aren't enough. We need an image such as a person defecating out in an open field. (I want a female taking a dump) The image that the one user posted a while ago was okay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Defactation_of_feces.JPG but it needed to be of higher quality. (Once again, I want a woman doing this). I can draw a person defecating, but I don't know how to upload images on Wikipedia. =(

I also aggre with Anon. Superjustinbros. (talk) 22:00, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh wait, I found a site with defecation. (it's in Japanese) http://www.ne.jp/asahi/kibono/sumika/kibo/note/haisetu/haisetu-4setsu.htm

Here is a good picture: [1] Superjustinbros. (talk) 23:29, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

It's about time I clear this part up: This is a website that I found showing many females defecating: http://www.joyangeles.com Superjustinbros. (talk) 21:17, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Umm.. no, this is an encyclopedia article about the bodily function of defecation, not an article about Corprophilia, and that particular external site really doesn't offer any encyclopedic content. --Versageek 15:27, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Anthropocentric

From the fourth paragraph to the end, the article is entirely anthropocentric without actually stating that it only applies to humans. (Valsalva maneuver, assuming use of toilets, etc.) Perhaps the greater part of the article should be dedicated to humans, but it shouldn't assume that the reader isn't looking for information about defecation as it applies to the whole animal kingdom. 68.167.204.172 (talk)

Add Video

To add to Wikipedia's gold standards I think there should be a demonstrative video of the process of defecation. (Just like there is one in the ejaculation article) 98.117.40.154 (talk) 23:14, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Brown noise

I dont believe, from experience, thaat brown exists. Delete it from your webpage as POV, or as a minority idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.232.88.120 (talk) 18:17, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Symptoms of Pre and Post Defecation

Someone more knowledgable than me would greatly enhance the article by discussing in lay persons terms the physical feelings associated with Pre and Post Defecation, beyond 'discomfort' and 'relief' . I know constipation can cause discomfort, but where and how much, and is orgasm upon defecation an urban myth, etc etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.10.210 (talk) 17:04, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Defecation

I remember one time when my sis and I were little. She was like two and I was like three. We were in the bathtub. She yells "Poopie!" When Mom pulled her her out she had a turd the size of Baltimore coming out!
