Yes. I think about important issues.
I always thought it was more to do with our prostate, being closer to our rectums than a woman's, therefore narrowing the gap. I could be wrong.
I take long poops sometimes, mainly because I feel about done, when suddenly my body says "Surprise! There's more!" Then I end up waiting until I'm sure it's over.
Interesting theory..
I tried googling, but all I found was this:

I don't have actual numbers on this, but while quantities produced are more or less equal assuming a 'normal' diet, the times of dumping said quantities in my case is probably on the low end when compared to the average relief-frequency. That infrequency makes it a somewhat special occasion, for which it is worth taking the time. As such it provides a nice opportunity for self-reflection, philosophical musings and other bouts of inspiration, therefore making it easy to lose track of time.
