In the talk we touched the surface on a number of topics including:

- Reasons behind what made him decide to write about the 

  Psychology in the Bathroom?

- The psychology of excretion and disgust. And why there is so much

   taboo surrounding the gut?

- We also talked about the anal character with the earliest discussion

   going as far back Freud and psychoanalysis.

- How earlier anal traits or definitions correlate with more recent  

   psychological condition, like OCD, Perfectionism, Orderliness,

   Authoritarianism, & Type A personality.

- We touched on the nature of swearing and the origins of

  scatological swearing & why some people offended by it, and cultural

  and gender differences

- We also talked about flatulence and emotion, defensive flatulence

   and enjoyment of flatulence, and gender differences.

- We also talked about Toilet Graffiti and the theories of Latrinalia

   including the differences between genders.

 

And finally we talked about the great debate surrounding whether the toilet seat should be left down.

 

This talk was only a taste or smell ? of the interesting information covered in this book and I encourage everyone to grab a copy and have a read.

 

I hope you enjoy the conversation
