I love this thread!! I have never in my life been so interested in poop but I now know its a sign of enlightenment. Apparently Zen master study their poops too. I have had trouble with constipation in the past and I have only used laxative tea a few times in my life. I was afraid of stories of laxative abuse by bulimics etc who are then unable to go poop without it because it weakened their pooping muscles(don't know name of muscle?.) I've had a mortal fear of enemas thought they were an S/M game that people played for pain and stinky kink. I think I've been afraid to poop all my life. But Not Now!!! I am reborn. I did a colonic a few years ago but forgot all about it immediately afterwards and ate a bacon and grilled cheese sandwhich a few days later. I have a new respect and awe for poop and I am glad I can talk about it freely. I feel free! Thank you all for setting me free.
