Ya, that's a tough one real men have to face constantly. Can be a horrible life altering bummer if you accidently catch your heel on the flush pedal and open it, realize that you had, and quick move your foot off the pedal. Everyone in the county will hear the high pitched very shrill noise you make!
I solved the problem by tying 2 real loose knots in the appendage and sitting only on one cheek and leaning at a 30-45 degree angle. Just clears that cold water!!!
The linkrd 3" or 4" spacer on the seat sure does look like it has a lot of merit though...
