You should look to check your health status. The color of your feces can tell you that you are seriously ill- for example, black feces indicate blood in the stool , which can be caused by Colon cancer. Blood-streaked feces usually indicate severe hemorrhoids or possible cysts. Large undigested chunks can indicate something wrong with your digestion. Mucus in the stool can indicate pus, fat or blood, or other serious problems. It is gross to study it for long periods of time, but almost everyone at least glances at it before flushing!

to ensure it looks "normal". there are many colon-related illnesses that can be detected in fecal matter. discoloration, blood, particles, etc - are prime indicators that you should see a physician and guess what? they'll ask for a sample!!
you should also always look at the toilet paper. again you're looking for anything that would be deemed unusual. this is why you should refrain from using colored toilet paper no matter how nice it matches your bathroom decor.
it's not gross people - it's human physiology.

Absolutely, every time. You can tell a lot about your state of health by your "product." For example, if it floats, you're getting enough fiber in your diet. If it's way, way dark, you've got internal bleeding; way light indicates a lot of bad conditions. If it's like rabbit pellets, you need more water to help digestion. And so forth. What an interesting topic, hey? Also important for summer--if your pee is sort of orangey, you need to drink more water. Dehydration can seriously affect your mental state.

Flush the toilet before you get off the toilet, to keep the stinking scent down. When you look, there will be no waste to see or smell.

It's true.... and if you have a problem with that... you might have a psychological problem. You might not accept things, or you're parents told you when you were a small girl that you feces were dirty, that you should not look at them, etc.
You might want to check out why it is such a BIG problem. It is perfectly natural to do it. Besides you might see something unusual (blood) and that can confirm cancer or stomach problems. **** is part of you, whether you like it or not.

Actually, despite being a littel gross it's not entirely a bad idea.. suppose you had bleeding intestines, or something.. if you had blood in your feces, it's something you'd want to know about so you could get it properly checked, and otherwise how would you know? It's not like someone else is gonna look for you.

you kinda have to unless you try to totally avoid it. I mean you would have to flush it sitting down to avoid it. you also look at toilet paper after you wipe your butt dont you? why? you can ask the question lol.
it may be due to potty training as well.
if you do what the above person suggests, you may get gross bacteria all over your butt. may want to wipe, get up put the lid down fast and then flush.

Mainly reasons of securing health and well-being.
Stools (s h i t) that keep their shape with high moisture content is most preferred.
Hard, pebbly stools are a sign that you do not have enough fibre.
Stools that disintegrate in the water and are light in color indicate that you have TOO much fibre.

It's human nature, back before there were doctors, the only way to know if you were messed up inside was to check your fecies. That's my theory anyway. We continue to do it now because of our animal instincts. Now if your caught sniffing the toilet paper after you wipe...now that's gross.
