Will Self ponders our infantilism regarding our toilet habits.

Will Self ponders our estrangement from our bodies and our infantilism regarding our toilet habits.

"Christianity has a lot to answer for," writes Will Self, "when it comes to our estrangement from our bodies - making our evacuations, quite as much as our sexual acts -  an anathema in polite society".  

Will argues that our infantilism in this regard detracts from our engagement with the world.  

Producer: Adele Armstrong
