Somewhere I read that the “top” orientation is unconsciously chosen by men when they change their toilet paper, while the “bottom” orientation is chosen by women. I then observed that this assumption is incredibly accurate.
I don't remember what the assumed motivations were, probably, as usual, something reminiscent of Freud and some sexual dynamic.

TIL a 1989 survey of Consumers Voice readers revealed 70% of people prefer toilet paper in the “over” orientation. Supporters, including The Simpsons (1995), and the 1891 patent for toilet paper, argue it’s more hygienic and accessible, while “under” fans highlight aesthetics and pet safety.
