According to the New York Post, Gastrointestinal psychologist Madison Simons of the Cleveland Clinic says that there is a biological reason behind males long bathroom breaks.
"Men, it turns out, have a tendency to feel more relaxed while on the john than a woman would, Simons explained. That’s because they have a “binary switch” to abruptly hop between fight-or-flight instincts known as both the sympathetic state (tense) and at ease parasympathetic one (relaxed). For digestion to occur properly, a body must be in the second state." (NY Post)
