i voted for the last option. i wasn't aware that there was such a thing as a two-seater! i mean, i've seen some of those foreign toilets that are basically a row holes in the floor or whatever. but i get the feeling that's not what the poll is referring to.

i love poop.

I'm with you on this one Pance. Confused. I'm thinking either a sports car version of a toilet, or one designed for people with real big asses.

yeah, i'd like someone to explain please. preferably with photographic illustration or a diagram of some kind.
_______
i love poop.

an example would be a two holer outhouse.
_______

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

Ok, so it would be an outhouse for someone with two assholes? CHIEF, I need your help!!

What the hell is up with Europe and its demented shitters? From the Amityville Horrors that are French latrines, to the (literal) shitholes built into Eastern Bloc railroad cars that force riders to risk life and limb by crapping DIRECTLY ONTO THE TRACKS (at 100 MPH, no less), and now this, some ambiguously-worded survey about a communal crapper, I can't help but wonder if demented bathroom design is just part of the cultural heritage in that corner of the world, or if Europe really is so technologically inept that they can make fantastic scientific breakthroughs, but can't properly design a necessary, even when they've been in existence in the Western world for over a century?

I got to vist Prague last year and visited a night club that was on the third floor of a four-story building. The urge to purge hit me while there, and so I headed to the crapper. Now, I had been in Eurocrappers before, but nothing could have prepared me for what awaited me in this one - the 'toilet' itself was nothing more than a toilet seat bolted to a wooden frame, and when I lifted the lid, I discovered that the 'plumbing' was little more than an aluminum chute that connected directly to the outdoors, designed to direct dook a short distance from the side of the building and then allow it to free-fall into the alley below.

And that night, I had explosive diarrhea.

"...human shit has more of an almond, or perhaps a macadamia flavor to it. I hope you will all take my advice and really consider tasting your poop some time, as I have. It's really quite an experience." - Ratz

When I was a kid, I had a great uncle who lived on a farm with no running water. In back of the house, he had a two seater outhouse. We had a family reunion there one year, and as luck would have it, I wound up taking a dump with my cousin (a girl).

You learn quite a bit about people when you shit with them.

Postman, thats considered a wedding ceremony in some states.

As I recall, her dad was standing outside the door with a shotgun.

Aww jeez. That's a little too close for comfort. Having to smell my smell AND my hub's smell!?(That's the only person I'd do it with...)We'd both be on the floor, pants around ankles, with a mustard gas cloud over our heads.

The hesitency to occupy the second seat can be overcome if the turtle has overextended its head. We have a two seater outhouse by our pond and though many resist to share occasionly it becomes nescessary to double dip.

I very often when I was a boy scout, and went on camping trips, I had to use two-seater latrines. Sometimes, I walked in while the other was taking a dump, and sometimes they walked in while I was taking a dump. Although, when I was a teenager, and went away to Israel, Our group was hiking in the dessert and there was one latrine with two seats, and was co-ed, and as I was taking a three-day dump, one of the girls in my group sat down right next to me to do the same, and she said she hadn't pooped in a day and a half and it was go time for her. I offered to wipe real quick and walk out so she could have privacy, but she was real cool and said not to worry about it, and that I would not be fair of her to rush me. She said, she already saw me sitting there anyway, so what is the big deal.

In search of the ever evasive BM

I had to click no for two reasons. One, I've heard of a two-seater (there have been a couple of stories right here on the site), but I have never actually used one. Two, there was no option in this poll for "no, but I've heard of one" minus the "and I'd never use one". As long as it wasn't someone with stink-cloud diarrhea and they were okay with me being there, I think I COULD use one.

_______
Well, you don't actually blow on it. That's just an expression.

"No, but I would if I had to" would be a good option to have up there.

I have not sat on a two-seater, but I have sat on a four-seater and shared company - as a kid at one of the many fairs I was dragged to that had a high school band competition that my mother would judge. I remember sitting amongst other females, swinging my legs, and watching someone change into a sequined majorette costume and thinking how weird it all was.

Most of the old outhouses are gone now, but various buildings, including some large houses, had two-holers or even larger ones. I attended church picnics at a couple of rural churches 50 or more years ago, and I remember using a two-holer more than once. These churches had both men's and women's outhouses, so it was not unisex. At least twice I got to use it with someone else, once being first on the seat and being joined by another kid on the other one (believe me, no big deal), another time going in to find one hole occupied by an elderly gentleman and sitting down beside him to drop my own load (again, not a problem). At that time, people were used to this. As I recall, for outhouses, these were large, commodious, well-built, and had little or no odor. Actually that was a fairly enjoyable experience; but then, I was feeling good and had normal bowel movements. I don't ever remember having diarrhea in one of those.

When I first went in the military, there was no such thing as "private" stalls. All the crappers were in one side of the bathroom and all the urinals on the other. Needless to say, it made it difficult to take a dump, but it was a good way to make friends.

I would like to point all those who voted for the last option to this poop report from a long, long time ago.

1989, Mulege beach, Baja, Mexico. An open fronted, but roofed, plywood 2 holer faced away from the beach but directly onto the main highway.

I sat there one morning just after dawn waving to the truckers as they tooted their air horns at me. My turd was slowly edging out when a girl came round the side, pulled down her shorts and took up residence beside me.

I was briefly flabbergasted; she was really pretty, I didn`t want to embarrass myself or her with loud farting or having to pull my undies up with a boner. But she turned round and gave me a great big smile as she unleashed a torrent of diarrhea. Saved.

After that I always tried to do my business in the dark...whistling.

PD...........The outhouse I used as a child was a two holer but I never used it with anyone else. I quite using it all together after the ignominious plunge my father took into it's dank interior. That was the time in my life that I became an al fresco pooper.

My two older sisters would use it together on occasion but I think they were only peeing. I have seen three holers in a few locations, two holes for normal sized asses and a small hole in the middle for an infant sized set of buns. The family that
sprays together stays together, that would be true if they were all three peeing or had diarrhea.

Other than the outhouse the only set of multiple hole facilities I have ever used was the infamous twelve pot line-up of my basic training days.

Well this city boy sure got an education.

For an account of two boys sitting side by side every morning before going to school, see 'The Lav of My Life'.

There is a photograph of such a facility, with a smaller seat for young children.

There is also a link to another site, where I recount my experience as a child in the early eighties of using it with a friend.

I encountered a two holer once and became so confused that i stuck a leg in each hole an pooped my pants

this place rocks

I used a two holer (outhouse) when I was a kid deer hunting in Colorado. It was a real pleasant experience. No smell, great scenery to look at (it was cold but we left the door open so we could watch the beaver pond. I still remember the unique sound of our turds hitting the huge pile of mostly frozen turds below, and then the sound of our pee splattering off of them.

Turd Ranger, You should have registered before you posted your comment. I think it would have earned you a point or two.

Actually I recall six seaters at the camp grounds that we used to family "vacation" at when I was a kid. I opted for holding it until we got home. My sphincter back then was a lot stronger and I just lost the urge every time I walked in and found old guys smoking Winstons and farting away. Probably should have started smoking but I was only 10.

I'm missing an option:
"No, but I would have liked to"

I've never heard of a two-seater, but I imagine you could have fun "races" with your friends.

Well I knew it was an outhouse, but I had to pick the last one because I could never say never, but also never used one. I'm quite sure I'd have no problem shitting next to someone else, at least if I knew them. I don't know about a stranger though. It's kind of like the secret club, or a marking your territory type activity. Only your mates can get in on it.

I guess I've seen these before but I had forgotten about them. No fun though, I must be able to distinguish between my smell and someone elses!

Chief, Ranger got the acknowledgment he deserved anyway. That comment had me snickering just from the visual!
