As anyone who’s had anal play knows, pooping after anal can be messy and uncomfortable. It’s important to thoroughly wash anything that came into contact with fecal matter, including hands and sex toys.
It’s also important to make sure you empty your bowels before anal, says women’s intimacy coach Rena Martine. That way, feces won’t be stored in the rectum, which is where penetration happens during anal.
1. You have a GI condition
There’s a big, stiff muscle in your butthole called the anal sphincter. It’s so tightly wound that it can’t budge without some serious coaxing. That’s a problem when it comes to anal penetration, because poop gets stuck in the rectum and can leak out of the butthole during sex. That can cause pain and even lead to a urinary tract infection or a genital wart, if it makes its way into the vagina.
You can avoid this by making sure you have a full bowel movement before you do anal sex, and then using a barrier like a condom, finger cot or dental dam. It’s also a good idea to clean up with unscented baby wipes, rather than douche or use an enema, because those things can thin the tissue in your rectum and make you more susceptible to leakage.
But the fact of the matter is that if you have a GI condition, whether it’s IBS or Crohn’s, you’re more likely to experience poop during anal than people without those conditions. And if you’re worried about it constantly, it will keep you from wanting to do anal and can affect your desire for vaginal and oral sex as well. So relax, just be prepared, and wash your hands afterward. Poop will happen from time to time, but it shouldn’t stop you from doing anal again in the future.
2. You’re not ready
Whether or not you have a GI condition, it is possible that you’re simply not ready for poop to make its way into your anal. The first step to being ready is a good toilet routine. Make sure that you’re emptying your pipes before anal play, and avoid eating anything too spicy or fatty (which can cause you to have a fuller bowel). Some people also opt for a warm sitz bath (a bathtub filled with water) before anal or genital play to clean out the area and help prevent any stray fecal matter from making its way into their anus. You can also take a stool softener or laxative (medication that helps you have a bowel movement) like Docusate Sodium or Senna to make your stools softer and less likely to stick in the area.
Lastly, you should use lots of lube. That’ll help keep any fecal material from coming into contact with your anus, and will also give you more traction during anal play.
Ultimately, pooping during anal is nothing to be afraid of. As long as you’re prepared, you’ll likely find that it’s not a big deal and doesn’t happen often. And if it does, don’t let it scare you away from trying anal. It can be super sexy, just be sure to choose a safe partner and start small with something simple!
3. You’re not lubricated
If you poop during anal sex, it is probably because you weren’t using enough lube. Anal sex is very intimate and requires lots of lube to keep you both comfortable. Using too little lube can cause friction, which leads to ripping and tearing. It also creates a lot of pressure inside the anal canal and damages or desensitizes anal nerve endings. This can make it painful to defecate.
Anal sex can be messy, but it is not usually as bad as people think. Often, sex toys and lube are enough to keep anal sex from getting messy. It is recommended to use a high-quality water-based or silicone lube for anal sex to reduce the likelihood of pooping.
You can minimize the chance of poop ruining your anal sex experience by emptying your bowels naturally before anal sex. Avoid enemas and anal douching, which can cause injury to the rectum, and eat a high-fiber diet to stay regular.
If you do poop during anal sex, wash your hands and any other body parts that came into contact with fecal matter immediately. This will prevent the spread of bacteria and other infections. If the poop is bloody, you should visit your doctor right away to be checked for a possible urinary tract infection. This can be very dangerous if left untreated.
4. You’re not prepared
You should never feel ashamed or embarrassed to have anal sex, but it is important to understand the risks and prepare for them. For instance, it’s normal for some residual fecal matter to hang out in your rectum, even if you’ve had a regular bowel movement. This could range from traces of poop to a full nugget or two.
It’s also possible to pass stool during anal sex, which can cause pain or an infection. You can reduce your risk of these issues by using a barrier, such as a condom, finger cot or dental dam, and applying lots of lube. You can also try using an enema to push water into your rectum for a deeper clean.
Another way to prepare for anal sex is to make sure you’re hydrated, eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of fluids. You should also try to poop before your anal session, since stimulation of the anus can stimulate a bowel movement.
Anal sex can be very satisfying, but it’s important to be prepared for the risks. By understanding the reasons why you can’t poop after anal and taking steps to prevent it, you can enjoy this sexual activity with confidence. Just remember to use a barrier, apply lots of lube and choose an amazing partner or lover to play with!
