After you, um, go about your business on the toilet, do you check the results? The answer from most Japanese appears to be a resounding yes, according to a mysterious organization that has been conducting surveys on the ins and outs of digestion. Delzmarl, which dubs itself a "secret society," has just published the results of its second investigation into the bowels of Japanese citizens online and come up with some interesting statistics.
The second report was based on information collected from 3,617 male and female respondents between March 1 and April 30. According to the poll, seven out of 10 (66.9 percent) respondents said they checked the state of their morning poo in the loo before flushing. The top three qualities checked by respondents were quantity (83.3%), color (80.7%) and texture (47.9%). Surprisingly, smell came in at only 20.3%. There was a difference in what the sexes looked out for: 79.1% of men looked for color, while 81.5% of women were concerned with quantity.
