I hate that. That's why I always urinate on the seat first to warm it up.

That way you'll never leave the seat up, I'm sure your girlfriend/wife will appreciate it.

because they are below the temperature of you body?

Yesterday it was 20ºC outside (below the the temperature of the body too) but I didn't feel cold...

well, no clue why you compare the air with ceramic

€dit: and after reading the whole thread it seems like you knew the answer before you opened the thread.

Isn't it highschool knowledge? Most people should know it (maybe not in the US, after reading the results in that "are you smarter..." questionary).

I always go take a dump right after someone else went.. I love the pre-warmed toilet and the damp of someone elses poop..

It's really annoying, specially on winter mornings.

When two things, one cold and other hot, are put together they end up with the same temperature; however my house is warm yet the toilet is still cold.

It's all about heat capacity of the materal you use for the seat.

ceramic has a higher heat capacity than i.e. plastic.
The energy needed (body heat) to warm the seat up from said cold temperature to body temp. is alot higher for certain materials.
Get a seat that is made of plastic and it will (if it even gets cold) warm up alot faster.
I HATE ceramic seats, cause they are f*cking cold...

Iron has low heat capacity and it feels cold as shit too.

It all depends on what you compare it to :), vs copper.. yes, plastic, no :P

ceramic shit gets cold. put some toilet paper on it if it's unbearable, or just squat over it a little

Takes months of training.
