Do you REALLY enjoy pooping?

I do! On average, about 1 out of 3 of my bowel movements are diarrhea-like. It's been that way since I was a young girl. The first thing I look forward to when I get up in the morning is having my cup of coffee and having a relaxing time on the potty. It sure makes a great start to my day. ❤️

What a great question. Do I enjoy pooping? Yea I guess that I do. I make horse balls. Oddly enough this is caused by constipation. That's why the enemas. Those feel really good coming out and going in.That's the enemas, not the horse balls. Some days I am treated to a nice moist log that really feels nice and means I managed to get my fibre right. Thanks, Metamucil. I just close my eyes and savour the tingle. Nothing like a nice normal poo to feel really good!

@Bad_Princess What are hose balls?

@Bad_Princess What are hose balls?

I really don"t know what “hose balls are” It is something auto-correct came up with. I fixed it . “Horse balls” Those ar big clumps of semi-dry waste horses poop.

It's NOT the pooping I enjoy, it's the feeling after having pooped!

@Bad_Princess I had horse balls when I took a medication. I hadn't pooped in 2 weeks. I did an enema for relief. The entire expulsion was wonderful. The pressure of the liquids forced the hard stuff out and I hardly had to push. It felt wonderful as they stretched my tight butt hole. I think there were about 2 or 3 of them. After the last one, a violent diarrhea exploded out of me.

@LisaK The feeling after is wonderful, but for some reason I enjoy the process.

And colonics are even better. I feel soooo clean when my lovely therapist has finished with me. If I had the time I would go to her once a week. And YES I definitely enjoy the process

I will admit that it feels really good and that I like doing it. A few of my friends here know that about me pretty well. My girlfriend surely came to that conclusion about me some time ago also. Her and I don't discuss my liking to do it really but we talk often while I'm doing it. She asks to see it sometimes, usually if it's after I had been having trouble going. She's getting pretty good again about asking if I've been going to the bathroom okay and even asks me if I need an enema sometimes. I sometimes have similar conversations with a few of my friends here on Zity. 😉

Once all that waste is out of the body, I do feel better.

But that is not the same as enjoying the process. It's just an annoying process humans have to go through as part of body maintenance.

Also as a sign of how incompetently bodies evolved, a good indicator of the absence of Intelligent Design (as in so many things in our lousy, constantly broken, messed up bodies). You'd think a truly intelligent design would eliminate the need for such frequent disposals of (liquid and solid) waste.

But hey, that's what we're stuck with. Just get it over with as quickly as possible. There are more pleasant and less embarrassing things to spend time on.

Yes I have to emit I do the feeling of a good BM. I like to be completely naked just sitting the relaxing. Since I like the feeling of things entering there the feeling of something coming out can be enjoyable for me to then get the nice empty feeling when done.

Do you REALLY enjoy pooping?

I can't say I enjoy it. It is just a bodily function that needs to happen. When it doesn't happen daily or in 48 hours...it does feel good to finally have a bowel movement. It is just a process for me.

AHHHHHHHHHHH yes. To drop a load without discomfort or enema assistance is a real good feeling.

Only when it's a big and COMPLETE and ghost load. I too often have incomplete evacuation which is a pain and disruptive. The good ole enema bulb is a ready at home to help clean out the final stubborn part

I agree with @Joe467 that it's a great feeling so long as it's complete. I hate the feeling of feeling like there's more to do but you can't go anymore at the time. Holding an enema for an adequate amount of time and then getting that release is just magical.

In my younger years, I really enjoyed having my daily BMs. They were always very predictable timewise and felt really nice as a usually massive load was exiting my system. I was usually a little constipated which made my stools rather large and firm. I NEVER forced their movement but just let gravity slowly let them escape as they treated my prostate and sphincter to some really nice feelings. Now, in my "old age" I have a totally different BM experience due to side effects from the meds I take for various things that ail me. Now...I usually only go once every three or four days which you would think meant I was constipated. But no! This is my new regular routine. Now, my movements are the consistency of peanut butter (soft) and take at least 15-20 minutes to fully pass. It just sort of "oozes out" of my pooper VERY SLOWLY. It's like -- I don't get the urge to go until I am really backed up -- and no matter what I do to force it to speed up, it just oozes through my anus very slowly. It does provide a pleasurable feeling as it exits, but like I said, it takes up "forever" to fully finish the production. And the finishing paperwork is always a mess now! Yes, I still enjoy pooping but -- enjoy even more -- a nice enema once in a while, too!

It’s a very pleasurable daily event that allows me time to spend 15-20 minutes of private time reading, texting etc b4 I start the day

For something we all have in common, it’s amazing how many different things have been shared as reasons we enjoy the poop process.

I particularly enjoy a good hard shit, not hard enough to be painful but solid enough to stretch the asshole as it comes out. Hard enough so that I have to push (not strain) to get it going. Solid enough that the turds stick together and form bigger, longer chunks rather than several little bits that make several plops in the water. Hard enough that I can feel the texture coming out. (When did I eat peanuts?). Substantial enough to know I’ve really taken a proper shit.

I’m thinking of writing a poem of praise for the elimination process. I’ll call it “Ode on a Good Healthy Shit”.

Bill

Its one of life's pleasures

For me it’s not the act of pooping, more the relief and “lightness” I feel afterwords. When younger, my morning ritual was get up, shit, shower and shave - like clockwork. Now it’s get up, have 1-10 cups of coffee, shower, (only shave once or twice a week), make breakfast, more coffee, then a potty trip mid morning. Habits have changed, but I never go more than a day without a dump.

I really feel the need to poop each and every morning. As I age, I sometimes take a Fleet bottle to jump start the process .

I learned from a peeing-and-pooping physical therapist what a proper poop is supposed to feel like. Yes, Virginia, there really is a peeing-and-pooping physical therapist, also known as a pelvic floor physical therapist, but I kinda like the term "peeing-and-pooping physical therapist" or PPPT.

After a bunch of mostly spine surgeries and lots of narcotics for pain relief before and after the surgeries, I had completely ruined my bladder by straining so hard to pee and poop. The narcotics bind you up tight. All the elasticity in the bladder was gone because of all my straining and pushing.

So I went to the PPPT to learn how to properly pee and poop because, apparently as a youngster, I never got the memo. She explained that there shouldn't be any pushing hard to pee or poop. That is, gravity and opening the “valve" that holds back the pee should pretty much take care of everything. In the case of peeing, the elasticity of the bladder should squeeze out the pee with a little help from gravity.

With all my bladder elasticity gone, I can pee best if I wait until my bladder is completely full or nearly so. Then when I internally open the urethral valve by relaxing, the pressure in the overly-distended bladder starts the flow, with some help from gravity.

Pooping is similar to peeing, according to the PPPT. Gravity and a release of the anus should take care of it without a lot of pushing.

The PPPT showed me a chart with the seven kinds of poop from runny diarrhea to rock-hard constipation. Yes, that's a real chart and officially, it's called the Bristol Stool Chart, but Poop Chart just sounds better, and it would even be better if it came as a scratch-n-sniff chart and with sound effects. Okay, maybe not better, but definitely more unique.

My PPPT lady said the proper poop is right in between those two extremes of runny diarrhea to rock-hard constipation, and should be like the consistency of toothpaste, but without the minty freshness, unless you have a special kind of magical unicorn poop or something like that. I’m guessing a real princess’s poop might be minty fresh or at least tooty-fruity, no pun intended on any tooting. Maybe @Bad_Princess can answer that question. Is a princess's poop minty fresh or tooty-fruity, being a princess and all? 😄 😄 😄 Or do you know if magical unicorns have minty-fresh or tooty-fruity poop?

So, according to the PPPT, a proper poop should just slide right on out all on its own or at least without much effort or straining. And she said not to try to poop before it is time to poop. That is, wait until the poop is ready to vacate the rectum on its own. Some people think they need to poop twice a day or maybe first thing in the morning so they push and strain to poop at what they think is the proper time.

To summarize what I learned from the PPPT: Practice patience to properly poop. (Nice alliteration, no?)

Having said all that, and to finally answer the question posed at the top of this thread, Yes, I find it very satisfying to have a proper poop. When I wait until I feel a fulness in my rectum, I go and sit on the toilet. Then I relax and without really any pushing, the poop just slips on out on its own and it feels great.

Now, mind you, most of the time, my pooping doesn’t go down like that. Most often, I sit down to pee. Yes, I sit to pee. It’s easier than trying to stand and aim and keep the splatter entirely in the bowl. And sitting makes it easier to relax all the muscles in the pelvic region which makes it easier for me to pee. Standing requires more muscle use and with tense muscles, it's hard to relax and release the pee. So, yes, I generally sit to pee.

So, while sitting to pee, I quite often can feel that a little something is in my rectum so I push and push until I poop it out. Technically, I should wait until it’s time to poop, that is, when the rectum is full and the poop is ready to slide out like toothpaste, on its own, without effort.

So it doesn’t happen very often, but a proper poop is ever so nice, thanks to my personal peeing-and-pooping physical therapist, my PPPPT.

Interesting. Awhile back one of the radio stations in a nearby city reported on a survey done--no citation , so I have no idea where it was done. The question was: What is one of the things in your everyday routine that you enjoy most? Surprisingly, one of the most common answers was "Having a good ----. " So it's not just Zity.biz folks that enjoy the finer things of life.

Sigh. My poop lacks the magical unicorn quality and just smells like poop. Very stinky poop. My tooting is so foul at times it disgusts my cats. They leave the room.

I particularly enjoy a good hard shit, not hard enough to be painful but solid enough to stretch the asshole as it comes out. Hard enough so that I have to push (not strain) to get it going. Solid enough that the turds stick together and form bigger, longer chunks rather than several little bits that make several plops in the water. Hard enough that I can feel the texture coming out. (When did I eat peanuts?). Substantial enough to know I’ve really taken a proper shit.

I totally agree. I love when my poop is just big enough and just hard enough that my asshole has the “I’ve just had a really good poop” feeling that lasts for at least 10-15 minutes after I’m done pooping. If only there was a way to force my poop to always have that perfect size and consistency…

I cringe a little at the question... it's natural. Sometimes it's nice to take a shit, sit, and think about life, or just watch TikTok while you're shitting. And sometimes you get nasty diarrhea...

Personally I dislike everything about poop. I almost never poop without running some water up there first. What I enjoy is when all the poop is flushed out and flushed down the toilet, and my eight foot long erogenous colon is a cleaned off playing field.

Pleasant relief but I dislike wiping and cleaning (gross).

I really enjoy pooping also every aspect of it! I love it when it’s a large one…the feeling of it opening up my hole and then sliding out is such a great feeling!
