Does anybody else push on their sides when they're pooping?

When I poop, I'll take my have and make a "knife hand" and massage the area above my hip and grab the side of my stomach while bending over to help the poop get out instead of straining. It's this weird?

I like to climb up through the toilet seat ring, and sit on the thin part, wearing it like a pool floatie. I then do a kind of hoola-hoop sway against the ring to massage my abdomen thoroughly.
Do you look like Gollum? That’s how I’m picturing this.
Filthy hobbitses pooping in toilets! We likes it raw.
