Does anybody else push on their sides when they're pooping? - eviltoast

When I poop, I’ll take my hand and make a “knife hand” and massage the area above my hip and grab the side of my stomach while bending over to help the poop get out instead of straining. It’s this weird?

    I learned some time ago that you’re supposed to squat a bit to press into your intestines so that you don’t need to strain yourself. Turns out modern toilets aren’t ideal for that.
