My constipation is so bad that I can’t enjoy sex. My stomach feels bloated, I get a lot of gas, and the movement is painful… Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve been relying on laxatives a bit too much and really want to do something about it. How have you managed it? Thank you.

Universe Tokyo’s Mamiya here. That sounds really tough... I don’t have much personal experience with it, so I can’t say I fully understand how you feel, but constipation is pretty common among the people around me. Let’s start by getting your body healthy! I’m sure it will get better. The causes may be pelvic or bodily misalignment, your diet, or your lifestyle. It may also help to skip breakfast in the morning and drink warm water. Keep your body warm. I hope you can get back to living without relying on medication and then enjoy sex again...
