I get really poo-shy when I stay over at people's places sometimes, but I don't really have an alternative. The thing that's helping me to deal with this at the moment, quite weirdly, is this Bad Lip Reading version of a Black Eyed Peas song:
My mantra has become "Everybody poops, and if they don't, they're an android". It actually really helps me.

This is going to sound really weird but, if you have a vibrator (or anything that vibrates that you can safely put down there), using it in your anal area (either on the outside, or even inside if you don't mind sticking things up your butt) can help with constipation because it stimulates your rectum/colon to contract and push the poop out. I was constipated for a long time after I had major surgery a few years ago -- it was probably about a week, it felt like a hundred years! -- and finally my doc suggested I try this, and it (literally) saved my asparagus.
You know how the vagina is right next to the rectum? If one was to use a vibrator inside one's vagina, for pleasure purposes not relief of constipation, would it be likely to have this effect?
I have heard people reccommend using fingers inside the vagina, against the back wall of it, to sort of massage out stubborn poo. You've now terrified me to experiment with vibrators, at least in the company of anyone else. I know they're meant to be better on the outer parts, but still...
Yeah! That would very likely work, as long as the person has a vagina and is comfortable inserting something in it. I think if you're really constipated it might be painful to create more pressure in the rectum like that, though -- the idea with the vibrator is to stimulate the contractions that push the poop out, not to push the poop out itself. But if you can get the vibrations closer to where the poop is stuck by inserting it, I would imagine that would be even more effective.*

It might if you were already about to go. But I would imagine that would be uncomfortable enough that you'd go to the bathroom before you started using a vibrator.

So this isn't something I talk about with anyone, and I am among the crowd that likes to pretend that poop isn't a real thing, and nobody actually does it. But this situation has gotten annoying to the point that I have to do something about it.
It used to be, a couple of years ago, that I was a very regular once a day kind of guy. And that once a day was VERY fast. Nobody could tell whether I went 1 or 2 based on how long I was in the bathroom. Eventually (for no reason I can figure out) it got up to 2 times per day. Over the past 3-4 months, it has worked its way up to 5-6 times per day. And each times takes much longer than it used to. I haven't noticed anything abnormal - no cramping, pain, blood, etc. It's just annoyingly and embarrassingly frequent.
I read an article on Mayo clinic's website that said eating lots of fiber, exercising, and drinking lots of water can increase frequency. All 3 of those apply to me, but I don't want to stop doing any of them.
Any ideas how I can reduce the frequency to something more reasonable?
Despite the fact that I poo lots, it can sometimes take a while. It's like once I get to the toilet, the poo gets scared, and I kinda have to wait til its ready to come out. It's like a gentle coaxing - "come on little poo, come on out".
We call this "Whack-a-Mole" poo!
Regarding the kid with the green poo: Froot Loops. Froot Loop kids have green poo.
My hubby has the longest poo sessions in the world. Seriously, he has to rearrange his day to accommodate. I mean, come on, dude. Fiber is your friend.

Today I learned that pumpkin seeds make me poop A LOT. I am so glad I brought my laptop into the bathroom with me. It's not even particularly tough poop, if anything it's a 2-3 on the whatever scale...it's just SO MUCH OF IT!!

You know what I like most about being vegan? Walking into a multi-stall bathroom while someone is already in there (obviously trying to muffle their straining) and laying serious tracks in the time it took them to roll out some toilet paper. High fiber diet, suckas!
Yessss. When I have to do the number two, It takes 2 minutes tops and then I'm out and about again, light as a feather. While my father and sister for example does 30 minute-sessions on the toilet. My sister is on a LCHF diet, heh.
My roommate used to disappear for 30+ minutes into the bathroom, so long that I would think that she went to bed. I don't understand it . . . how could it possibly take a half an hour to get out? I get the urge, I'm in and out in under two minutes. Nice and clean.

Maybe they're just afraid of tampons.
I'm thinking the sole explanation here is the blood.

Ok, I have to ask this. Does anyone get watery eyes sometimes when they poo? It's not even like I'm straining or it hurts, sometimes my eyes just water.
YES.

My son (3 1/2) occasionally names his poops. And they don't look anything like their names, but so far there has been: Crayon poops, sand poop, knife poop, trumpet poops, chicken poop, and more recently, a ninja turtle poop.
At least it's not "Fred" or "Pete" or "Harry."

Veglicious and starrynight87: My eyes water every time I poop almost! I was just talking to my mom about this, and well, she didn't want to talk about poop. What gives, ma?
I can remember being little and someone asked if it hurt, but it doesn't, my eyes just water.

One day last week, I pooped twice and both poops were the super long snakey ones. I was so proud. Brian made a face when I bragged to him.
I am also a lightning pooper. If it takes more than a minute I get really annoyed. The only time I take a book or computer with me is if i've had stomach cramps and it's my second trip in ten minutes or something.

Go to the doctor for sure, but also, is the blood dark or bright red? Cause that could help you determine what kind of problem you may have. Darker blood would be from farther up in your digestive tract, maybe intestines, which could suggest you may have problems there, and fresher, brighter red blood would be from haemorrhoids or some other, lower part of the system ailment. But ask a doctor for sure anyway.
