Rectal dilation for health?

Sometimes I get constipated, and it feels a struggle to poop, as if my anus is too small.

In fact, it is quite difficult for me to accept anything of 1 inch diameter, and I wondered if a course of dilation - up to say 1 1/4" might be a good idea?

For fun? Yes.

For health? No.

Eat more roughage and drink more water.

It doesn't matter how big the hole is if you aren't moving inside.

Sorry Susie but you are uncharacteristically wrong on this one. Anal dilatation is used to treat both hemorrhoids and anal fissures. It's also used to treat the created stoma with imperforate anus.

Sure, but the OP is talking about constipation. Softer stools is the answer.

Dilation is not the answer. If women open up enough to deliver a baby, your anus is built to open up to poop. I find a vaseline coated finger gets things moving.

What? There's a difference between the vagina and the anus you know besides the obvious. The anus is a sphincter and the vagina lacks one.

The original poster didn't say he has hemorrhoids or fissures. He said he was constipated.

Water and roughage (and maybe a little exercise) will work just fine.

There are members here who say the often wear anal plugs for long periods. That should count as a form of (sustained) dilation/stretching. Maybe one of these members might be able to weigh in?

They do that for fun and to maintain anal awareness.

ANYTHING else is anecdotal nonsense.

Other reasons like Liquidsky mentioned are perfectly reasonable, but I don't want to hear someone cured their acne or pancreatic cancer with a plug in their ass.

But I'm feeling much better now....

Plugs help cure acne? I should of starting plugging 45 years ago! 😃

I had very sensitive skin as an infant. Maybe my parents should have given me a butt plug when I was six months old.

Would that have sealed off my anus or made it easier to poop?

Cheaper than diapers

I always subscribe to what I saw written on a construction fence while I was at UC Berkeley many years ago. It said in large letters--Keep a tight asshole.

Thanks for all replies! I think I will not do any dilation, but ensure more fluids etc.
