These Are The Worst Things To Eat Before Anal Sex

“Mess is to be expected, regardless of how you prepare, because we are human, and that’s life. And that’s OK!”

If anal sex is on the menu tonight, you might be worried about what you ate beforehand. After all, if letting one rip embarrasses you in yoga class, then getting intimate with a partner can feel even more anxiety-inducing.

Maybe you’re wondering whether that chili and beans for dinner was a terrible idea before a roll in the hay.

And while certain foods can make things a little less comfortable – like, say, chili and beans – experts say there’s also a huge misconception around the idea of being “perfectly prepared” for anal sex.

“There’s this idea that you can be perfectly clean for anal play, but the anus is where poop exits the body,” Javay Frye-Nekrasova, a sex educator at We-Vibe, tells HuffPost. “Mess is to be expected, regardless of how you prepare, because we are human, and that’s life. And that’s OK!”

She adds, “Trust me, even as a sex educator I still have instances where the realities of a booty happen.”

In other words, you don’t need to obsessively restrict food or try to achieve some impossible standard of being ready “back there”.

“The rectum, the part of the body involved in most anal play, is not a storage chamber. For most people, most of the time, it’s actually empty,” Dr. Jenni Skyler, a sex therapist, says. “Stool is stored higher up, in the colon, and only moves down when your body is preparing to have a bowel movement.”

“This is good news,” she continues. “It means that with reasonable preparation, anal play is far less messy than most people fear.”

Still, certain foods can increase bloating, gas, digestive urgency or discomfort, which can make people feel less relaxed........
