A couple summers ago, my wife and I took a week-long trip to the beach in Destin, Florida, with another couple. I generally eat pretty healthy, but since I was on vacation I decided that it was time to splurge a little. Every meal I ate was some combination of cheeseburgers, fries, pizza, fried...

I tried. Believe me, I tried so damn hard to get either a dose of the squirts or some serious constipation for PoopReporters' enjoyment. But I'm sorry to have to admit that, despite my best efforts in a strange and faraway land, I failed completely to have anything but perfect and regular stools....

We've always taken a five-gallon bucket with a screw-top lid as our groover on our rafting trips, but we never actually used it; we were blessed with lovely outhouses on all of our previous trips. This changed when we went on the Owhyee in Eastern Oregon, a beautiful and remote float with no...

I love kayaking. The simplicity, the freedom, the access to places that few have visited, the thrill being in the middle of a pod of killer whales, the silent meditation of a still midnight crossing.

Aside from the fact that everywhere we went men wanted to ask us about ourselves or take pictures of us or with us, a life-changing event occurred in India -- one that made me understand what Angelina Jolie must feel like at times. And because this was Stef's idea, I tell her she owes me money for...

It's been just over a month since I started working at my company's office in New Delhi. I haven't paid much attention to the bathrooms here at the office -- they haven't seemed particularly clean nor particularly dirty. Considering that fifty men share two urinals and a toilet, I figured they were...

I have an active bowel, and I'm concerned about traveling on buses without toilets or being in other places where a bathroom might not be readily available. This is not debilitating, but I am cautious. I asked my wife how long of an airline flight she would be willing to take if she knew that a...
