The original question -- surely -- related to the use of toilet paper per
incidence of useage -- no total lifetime consumption (after all, women
live longer (-:).   Total consumption isn't the question: the person who
posted the article, complete with sound effects, was talking about how
much paper was used in one. . .er. . .sitting.

Now, I have known a number of men who also retire to the proper location
and one hears "vroom, vroom, vroom" over and over as the toilet paper
roller rolls about.  One does not listen for this, of course, but past a
certain number of vrooms, one becomes curiously aware.  Surely there are as
many men who use as much paper per incidence of useage as women.  Actually,
we might postulate that since women use paper more often, they are less
paranoid and may use less paper per occasion then men, but perhaps it would
be best to do a study on the issue.

So, how many sheets, on the average, do you use per incident of consumption?
You can use eyeliner to make notes on the bathroom mirror, and keep a log
over the period of one week.  And no fair counting as you pull -- you have
to pull your normal amount first, then count.  Double sheets count 1 1/2.
Mail your average to /dev/null.  Ready, set, YANK!!!!
