Ever wondered how to navigate the etiquette of going to the loo on a date or, even worse, in bed? This new book tackles the last taboo in dating. When navigating the dating terrain, the potential minefields are endless. When do you make the first move? Is it too early to meet the parents? But judging by the popularity of a new book, we're often preoccupied with explosive issues of a different kind. ‘How to Poo on a First Date’, has become an Amazon sensation, and is dedicated solely to issues of the heart and bowels. The £5 dating bible, published by Prion, promises to solve all your toilet conundrums, from what to do if the urge arises at an awkward moment to how best to cover up any unromantic odours. The authors, credited only as Mats and Enzo, spent five years researching this work of lavatory-related genius. ‘One of the secrets of seduction (and this goes as much for a first date as for the rest of the relationship) is to stay faultless at all times,’ the relationship scholars write in the book’s intro. ‘However, you are made of flesh and bone and this means that yes, sometimes you have to go to the loo. 'This vital human requirement remains strangely taboo in modern society, and it can ruin a blooming or well-established relationship in an instant.’ To illustrate the point the book kicks off with a cautionary tale. So confident in his relationship was Tom, a friend of the authors, that he started talking to his girlfriend with the toilet door open. |
