I am a very hygenic person. In particular I pride myself on clean toilets.
But I will read on the throne. It helps to pass the, er, time. A good dump is something to be savoured and enjoyed. The feeling that you're fully empty, almost 'vacuum' like inside, is just perfect.
Why not read while you squeeze?
Personally I have read, played games on the iPhone, and I've even taken my laptop and phone in there and taken a TC whilst crimping out the mornings doings (phone on mute when tensing…..).
As for the GF question. I would never go out with someone who had only one toilet. I would go to the loo furthest away, open the window, and be careful not to simply fart a Courtney Pine solo for entertainment. Farting in front of a lady is not funny….. Although Lady trumps are.
