Has anal exploration improved your eating habits?

I've been 'anally exploratory' since my mid-teens, so I don't have much of a comparison on myself. But I have often wondered if my proclivity for anal play has improved my digestive health, by giving me an incentive to eat well.

I know often when eating out with friends, I'll stay away from fried foods that they'll eagerly snap up, and I seem to eat a lot more fiber than the average person my age. I know a handful of times I will actually say to myself "hmm... that sounds tasty but I was looking forward to [something anal] tonight/tomorrow so I think I'll pass." But more often, it's just become a habit to eat well, and it's not something I think of all the time.

I'd always wondered quietly whether this was just me, or if other people noticed their eating habits improve (and their health improve, as a result) when they got into anal play---and just now in this thread I got a little confirmation, so naturally I became curious enough to make a thread.

Mahaha! Nah, I am not big on anal at all, but in general I just try to eat really well... Though I'm curious what kind of difference it makes to eat better in terms of anal play?

No unfortunately I haven't changed my diet at all. I wish playing with my ass would make me eat more healthy....lol.

I think just basically 1.) more fiber than the average person and 2.) less fried foods or super-oily foods than the average person. And perhaps generally regulating calories a little better than average, but then again, maybe not---I'm just speculating, after all!

I watch what I eat now, eating a big old burger at In n Out is a tasty lunch but I know I won't be able to do any anal play for a day or two. I also find myself eating more fiber than usual though not specifically because of anal play, mostly because the healthy foods I find to eat often have more fiber in them.

My eating habits have not changed for 25 years, I eat anything and everything I want. My metabolism works very good so I never worry to much about it. I will say that I am in more tune with my system though, being aware of when things want to happen has helped significantly.

Most of the time my anal play is just a plug or vibe so there is little to worry about. For those times when I go big, I douche before hand. That pretty much covers it.

I am not ever on the receiving end any longer (not interested in being, either), but when I have been in the past, I never had any problems no matter what I ate. It's just always been that way, I always eat healthily. And honestly, even occasionally eating fast food is alright, as long as it's in small portions. I once ate a little chicken breakfast bagel and a huge milkshake, and it honestly flushed everything out of me. For me, it's more portion control than what I eat. If I eat small sizes and drink a lot, then I'll be fine.

I don't do anal every day, but on the day when I do plan to have anal sex, I'll eat more fibrous foods and skip things that will make me gassy.

It hasn't affected my eating since I've always had pretty good habits, but I will avoid spicy foods if I know I'm having some anal fun. I think it affect hygiene more than anything, not that I don't keep it clean down there, but I'm extra particular about how tidy it is if I know I'm getting some.

It's really interesting to hear everyone's thoughts! I voted that I couldn't say for sure, because I think I'd be naturally inclined to eat healthily no matter what... but it's interesting to hear what everyone thinks!

No question that I stay away from greasy or gassy foods , or those with seeds or residue (corn), when planning serious anal play.

Read an artical by an anal porn star once, and that did start me thinking about it!

I always try to eat as healthy as possible but I don't believe I've ever limited myself based on my anal play. This is a new idea for me to ponder on lol

My metabolism is more like a megatabolism, so I pretty much anything and everything and stay the same weight. That said, I do consciously consider whether or not I'll be on the receiving end of some pegging when I choose what to eat. I usually eat normally in those instances, but add an extra amount of foods with fiber to help control my intestines, so to speak.

Also, to the OP: "hmm... that sounds tasty but I was looking forward to [something anal] tonight/tomorrow so I think I'll pass." is a good pun. And you know it is.

Anal play has definitely changed my habits on occasions when I was having issues. There have been times I've played too hard or too big and ended up hurting myself a bit, and I always eat much more carefully while I wait for everything to heal up proper. For the most part, though, I sort of have terrible eating habits. I'm currently trying to change it up pretty drastically - I live on bread products and I'm thinking of trying to cut them all out for the most part. I'm now wondering whether this is going to have a previously unconsidered positive effect on my anal sex life, hah. That'd be nice More likely my ENTIRE body is going to thank me, not just my bum.

I'm an occasional anal player, but I feel like I've always had a pretty healthy diet.

I usually try to eat things that arent going to cause discomfort. And bind me Just in case. The other night that came in handy we didnt do any penetration on me but my wife was playing down there. I think trying to eat higher fiber helps make it easier to clean up after going to the bathroom.

I don't know if it's improved my eating habits because I've always tried to eat well. I do know if there's some sort of anal play planned I'll try to eat extra fiber, but otherwise I don't think it's tremendously altered my dietary habits.

I try to maintain healthy eating habits and exercise. I don't change my diet for anal but if I feel I am not "ready", we just avoid anal sex that time.
I feel I have an efficient GI system.

Recently became "avid" and definitely consider the effects/consequences of dietary choices every day now. It is wonderful, because I am more disciplined about eating well and not overeating too.

yes & no! first off i don't consider myself avid or occasional. (we do it more than occasional but not a everyday thing) i usually eat whatever i'm in the mood for. but sometimes if i know we're going to do it & i'm going to eat something bad then i won't eat it to avoid a mess! (never had that problem before, but you never know what can happen)

I ate more vegetables and fruit when I was impoverished due to divorce, which was put aside due to my spouse's terminal illness. From the stress, anxiety and subsequent depression I lost my appetite. I lost more than thirty pounds during that period of time.
I put it back on but am now again trying to eat more healthy.

I still eat pretty much the same. I eat a lot of vegetables anyway and don't consume much meat.

I love anal, though my current partner does not. Generally I don't find myself eating much better, but I rather eat lighter and less close to action time.

I think it has raised my awareness and I've made efforts as an occasional player.

I would say that I am more discerning in what I eat. If I think that the night is going to end in a marathon sex session in bed then I will be more choosy about what I eat. In general anal play has just made me more aware of what I eat and how it affects my body. I no longer eat fast food at all. However, if the pub is serving deep-fried spicy mac and cheese I'm all over it!
