      Meanwhile the baddie is in distress, hopping from bathroom to bathroom

    As a person who had spent 30+ years thinking that “a warm seat = someone had been sitting long enough to make it warm” and thought it was therefore gross, now that I have a heated toilet seat/bidet combo, now I think a cold seat is worse.

      To be fair, the warm from a heated seat is a different sensation than “someone’s bare butt cheeks were just planted here.”

      But I’m in the same situation as you. I cringe every time I have to sit on a normal toilet seat now.

      That’s the thing, it makes you pay attention, at least for me. I never want to tell the temperature, but a warm seat makes me question the decision I made to sit down.

        I’m sure heated toilet seats are close to the top of the list for carbon emissions. /s

        Localized heating is way more efficient than whole house heating. If having localized heaters help you keep the rest of your home cooler it’s much better for the environment.

    My mum’s told me about putting newspaper on the seat of the outdoor toilet in the middle of winter if you absolutely had to go in the night, to make it bearable (1950s northern England). The warmth of someone else’s arsecheeks is much more preferable to that, thanks.

      I would have to agree with that - I’d rather have someone else’s butt take the full brunt of an outdoor, nighttime, northern England, cold toilet seat. Lol - those types of cold seats are what taught me to “hover” when necessary. (Well, not specifically the same as northern England outdoor toilets, but similar)

      Composting outhouse with styrofoam seat is actually really nice :D especially if it’s used enough to keep the composting going, then when it’s really cold outside one may experience the joy of steamy composting shit warming up your butt while going on your business. Not too bad even in the Finnish winter. Cold plastic seat in the outhouse is the worst.

        Yeah, but next time you sit on a warm toilet seat, you’ll think about this thread and be hit with the overwhelming urge to take a whiff.
