Though anal sex can be a highly enjoyable experience, it comes with a lot of hows and what's and dos that you might not know the answer to.

shower and clean the area in and around the anus with your finger or a wipe.
If you want more insurance that your playtime will be poop-free, Sinclair recommends investing in enema bulbs. To use an enema, "pour out the laxative solution, rinse the bottle out, and fill it with warm water. Lubricate and insert the nozzle. You can do this on your elbows and knees or while lying on your side. Insert the nozzle, and open the valve or squeeze the bulb. Hold the water for 10 to 15 seconds, and release it into the toilet. You can repeat this a few times if you like. Repeat and then release all the water at once," Sinclair says.
While all of these options are meant to put your mind at ease, know that none of the above preparation is required for anal play. Do what makes you feel most comfortable and relaxed.
Is Pooping After Anal Normal?
It's more common to feel like you have to poop after anal sex than it is to feel like you have to poop during anal sex, Kramer says. As a reminder, the urge to poop comes from the rectum filling, and "there are receptors in the rectum that sense the stretching and fullness," Kramer says. By having anal sex, this stretching and fullness may trigger those receptors, so it's normal to feel like pooping after anal — and, in fact, you can expect to poop within a few hours after having anal sex, Kramer says.
Things may seem a little off your first few times pooping after anal sex, and that's OK. For example, some people report feeling gassy or bloated following anal sex, while others report experiencing loose stools. Either way, your poop should begin to look and feel normal again once the rectum has gone back to its normal size after a day or two. Just note that you should not be in pain, there shouldn't be any blood in the stool, and you shouldn't have a difficult time pooping — and if any of these symptoms arise, you should seek advice from a healthcare provider ASAP.
