It would make more sense to me if it was a woman saying this. Since alot of the same muscles are used for both acts. I had a friend who told me she would have orgasms while taking a crap. Seems very possible. ---

**soulburnz** , it’s _men_ who have the prostate gland - about 3 inches up inside the arse. It can make things feel very good, you know. ---

Some women have a very thin separator between their anus and vagina. ---

I think a good crap includes having a new comic book of Entertainment Weekly or something to read. That makes it good. I haven’t had to read during sex, I couldn’t keep my eyes on the words anyway. ---

This is a tough one!! The crap needs to be really good. By that i mean the whole thing comes out, nothing left, and you feel 2 pounds lighter. You then feel like skipping and dancing around the place, and you get really hungry, and even your pants feel loser! Then yes, but i can get the same feelings from sex… so it’s 50/50 for me. The only bummer about sex is that i don’t get the chance to read the paper while i have sex… ---

True, **ultrafilter** , but it’s a ways from the clitoris. There is something oddly satisfying about a good crap. I also rather enjoy a good pee when I REALLY GOTTA GO and I finally get to…it’s a lovely feeling. ---

My cat acts very frisky after a big dump. Off topic a little, a good pee after holding it for a loooong time feels really good to me. A great release. Also sneezing. And the logic of women (most women) dumping and orgasms might make sense if the anus was near the clitoris, not the vagina (remember, I said MOST women, not all!!). ---

My former cat would take off and run around the apartment like crazy after taking a crap. “Felt good, huh?” I always asked him. I understand that feeling. ---

I’m glad to know my cat’s not the only one that goes batsh!t crazy after a crap. The other cat people at my university all deny seeing that behavior in their own cats. I was starting to think she was a freak of nature … ---

“Great sex is mind-blowing, man, but bad sex? Hell, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better than bad sex.” -Billy Joel I think I like the comparision of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich better than the “good crap.” ---

Well, try going without sex for a month, then try going without a crap for a month, and see which one you prefer. ---

It’s also a lot more acceptable to smugly mutter, “who’s your daddy?” after a truly magnificent crap. ---

I have a small dog who’s litter box trained. When he drops a dookie, he also runs around like a spazz, very happy and excited. Sometimes he gives one big happy bark. Sometimes he drops his elbows down and hops around to try to play. He’s never had sex, so I imagine it feels grrreat for him.
