You dudes know that means AB Psych is ABNORMAL psychology, right?

What techniques is sir using to achieve those results? Sounds fantastic, btw. Congrats!

I agree, it wasn't a deal breaker for me, after all. Yeah, she's OK with it, but non-participatory. I'm sorry you haven't found what you're looking for! I hope it gets better for you :-)

I'm sort of between these two. Been married for five years now with a woman who fulfills every need and checks every box except this one. It's not a deal breaker obviously, but it's tough to not feel dejected every once in awhile. Yes, I can enjoy it on my own, but being in a committed relationship means (at least, for me) that I WANT to share what makes me happy with her.

You can get activated charcoal at a ton of places nowadays-- Amazon carries them, and if you're willing, all the Targets I've been to have it in stock.

Hi! Glad to hear you're taking the plunge :-) First things first: not all laxatives have to burn. There are three types and you've covered two of them-- the bulk laxatives and the irritants-- and then there's the kind that draw water into the colon. The most effective I've found for those is Epsom salts. You mix a few teaspoons with about a pint of water and then drink it and wait. The salts keep the water bound instead of allowing the water to be absorbed into your body (and the salts aren't either) so what you get is a pint of water that goes straight through your digestive tract, pushing everything down and out. There's no associated pain, and they're also cheap and safe, by which I mean they're safe for occasional relief of constipation (i.e: you should try to have two natural BMs inbetween each dose or you risk developing a reliance on them). The first downside is that things tend to be more watery, but by the way you describe your fiber regime, that might be a non-issue. The second downside is that Epsom salted water is not tasty at all. Some people add lemon to make it more palatable, but if you start with warm water and you drink it REALLY FAST, you'll trigger the stomach to begin the dumping process and you won't have to suffer through sips. Hope that helps!

Was a massage therapist, now I work in construction.

imagine grilling with charcoal that has absorbed fecal odors.

Ugh, I haven't pooped in two days and my wife has unexpectedly stayed home from class!

Thanks man

You got a link to that?

I'm thinking about trying the ballistic tunnel. FOR SCIENCE!

This morning, sort of. I was heading into the shower, not wearing anything, and as I lifted my leg to step in I felt things let go. Thank goodness for momentum and good drains. This has started happening a lot more since I started my new diet, but so far, only moderate inconveniences (a messy bed and a half dozen filled jeans) and no public embarrassment. Yes! 3 cheers for D24/7s! I need a new case of those, I'm wearing last one.

erm... which end?

That IS good information. I'm thankful for my health and workout program then!

Yeah, I did that a few months ago. Works great-- about a half pound works spectacularly if you can manage. I wouldn't try it more than once a month though!

I for one am super thankful for good moderation here.

that's a good girl

The smell is just something you'll become accustomed to over time. Maybe you'll enjoy it, but certainly, you'll at least get to the point where you can tolerate it.

I had an unintentional accident about two weeks ago. I was on the third floor of a medical complex, visiting a chiropractor (I'm not a patient though-- unrelated) and suddenly I really needed to poop. I asked the dr. if he had an in-suite restroom, he said no. I went outside to the hallway and found the restroom but it was locked, and someone shouted "occupied!" from the inside. Figuring there was one bathroom on each floor, I went upstairs. 4th floor bathroom locked. Upstairs again. 5th floor bathroom locked. Upstairs again. 6th floor bathroom locked. It was too urgent at that point, and the cramping was continuous. I knew it wouldn't let up until I'd voided. It was making it really hard to think but I finally realized my mistake-- EVERY floor was locked because the rooms had to be opened by a key, probably a key issued to each resident of the suites. I wouldn't be able to get in without asking someone who worked there, so I walked around slowly and carefully on the sixth floor and tried to find an open suite and ask for the key. All the doors were locked. As a last ditch effort to keep my scrubs clean, I hit the stairs and headed for the 1st floor, hoping that the restrooms there would be more public and therefore not locked. I had to stop between the 2nd and 1st floors to hold my legs closed and try and wait until the cramping passed. Of course, the cramping DID pass, right after I involuntarily moved my bowels in my briefs. I strained and strained to keep everything closed because I had another appointment and I didn't want to take the time to clean up! All that did was slow it down-- by the time it was halfway out I gave up and just tried to enjoy it as much as I can. It was enormous! I knew no one would be able to see it through the scrubs but I had to waddle slightly to make sure it didn't leak out of my briefs and down my leg. I managed to get down the stairs and back to my car without anyone noticing I think, but when I got into the trunk to pull out my seat saver pad (of COURSE I keep one in there!) I noticed I had peed myself at some point. I was wet to my knees. I went home and had to sneak in the back door because my mother-in-law was visiting. She didn't see me and I snuck off to shower and clean up. I called and canceled my next appointment because I was so delayed.

is super-absorbent polymer safe for internal use? I think it might be...

what is this I don't even

Some of those are less urban legends and more straight-up ghost stories...
