TP is a significant enabler of (ahem) comfort in one's mobility and fire starting (among other things). But I still look at it as a comfort item.

Most mammals go all their lives without TP. :-) None last long without food.


True, but you'll agree that everybody is different. Here's an issue where being different is magnified in flying colors. Because of a medical condition, I drop a deuce 5 to 8 times per 24 hours. It's not negotiable. I can't just hold it in. The deuces are not clean exits either. If I don't clean up, I face health issues that will get me in worse trouble before lack of food will.
