A few years ago, I found the perfectbutt plug.

(Yup,that can happen.)
A few, er, brown spots dappled the smooth silicone.
This incident happened some years ago, before I was more comfortable in my body.
I got so embarrassed I called the whole thing off despite genuinely enjoying anal sex.
Not knowing the exact cause doesnt change IBSs effect on my body.
I often experience symptoms like diarrhea that comes on suddenly, stomach cramping, and nausea.
My IBS can really throw a wrench into my life, including the whole anal sex thing.
I bottom significantly less then I would like.
[It] makes it more difficult for me to relax…
It’s tough to enjoy sex if you’re worried you’re gonna explode.
One isIBD, or inflammatory bowel disease.
This is a symptom I sometimes experience with IBS.
I can confirm that when you are totally backed up, theres no way youre backing up into anything.
Not quite a recipe for great butt sex!
Which brings us to our next point…
Lets chat about pooping during anal, because thats probably why you clicked this story.
It is a fact that sometimes, as they say, shit happens.
Having persistent, somewhat unpredictablepoop problemssimply makes you a little more vulnerable to this.
That doesnt, however, mean poop absolutely will crash your anal party.
Enemas are injections of fluid into the rectum to flush out any stool thats in there.
Themuscles in the rectumtypically know what theyre doing when it comes to keeping poop in or pushing it out.
First of all, it might really hurt.
The goal is to get on as regular a pooping schedule as possible and decrease flares of any symptoms.
And no matter how much lube youve slathered on, stop if you experience pain.
Always listen to your body.
Having anal often involves some kind of conversation anyway, so it shouldnt be that weird.
Anyone who is worth having sex with shouldnt freak out about this.
We laugh, and then hop into the shower together.
It comes with the territory, you know?
If you’re playing around in the mud, you’re bound to get dirty sometimes.
As someone who has pooped on dicks and farted duringoral sex, I couldnt agree more.
That partner I mentioned who saw poop on my butt plug?
Such is the only punch in of person who deserves the potential delight of venturing past your butthole.
