Well I'm finally living the dream, getting a home of my own, and by god I want a throne that fits me. There are 2 full baths, so I get mine and she gets hers. That's means I get to customize mine to my needs.

I am 6'4". I am so very tired of little teeny bowls that I need to do gymnastics in order to fit on them to do my business. I'm also tired of tucking, and of feeling cold water/porcelain on my junk. I also hate dealing with clogged toilets, which I have to handle at least a couple of times a week. My old apartment had a hardcore pressurized toilet that never clogged once in twenty years.

Does there exist some kind of bowl that is large, oval, has a straight down front (rather than something like an office toilet that comes in sharply) with generous space in front, and preferably is pressurized?

The Kohler K-3493 is a pressure assist 1.6 in a comfort height. That pretty much handles what you are asking for.

Personally, I avoid pressure assisted toilets. IMHO, if the toilet is designed well, and your pipes are installed per code, it isn't needed. A gravity flush is simpler, quieter, and works. Not all toilets are created equal...some of the older 1.6g ones, and even some of the transition 3.5g ones flush much worse than the newest 1g ones! Kohler stuff sometimes tends to go its own way in a NIH (not invented here) sense...they can't seem to find a good system and stick with it making repair parts sometimes hard to find down the road because of the constant changes they make.

I have experienced all the things you mention (being tall, experiencing clogs, getting unexpected baths). I have been very satisfied with my 3 Totos. Tall enough, elongated shape, don't clog, and plenty of distance between the seat and the water level.
