JAKARTA - When having sex, the desire to defecate (BAB) could appear. Defecation during intimate intercourse turned out to be a natural thing.
"That (BAB) could happen, it's not abnormal," said sex therapist Lisa Lawless, PhD, quoted from Women's Health, on Monday, June 9, 2025.
A person experiences defecation when having sex caused by various factors. One of them is when an orgasm, a compound called prostaglandin is issued by the body.
When the compound is released, it causes the uterus to contract and increase blood flow to the lower pelvis. This is good for lubrication, but also makes it difficult for a person to hold back urine or dirt.
"This could have caused unwanted urine and feces to come out at the time," said obstetrician Diana Hoppe, MD.

However, defecation during intimate intercourse can also occur due to health problems. Such as bowel irritation syndrome or neurological problems with the large intestine.
In addition, unusual sex activities can also be the cause of defecation. One of them is anal sex, which produces strong enough pressure in the anus area so that impurity expenditure is unavoidable.
If someone has an anal sexual intercourse, there is a higher possibility for haphazard spending. This happens because of the pressure placed on the naus area and the full colon," he explained.
Meanwhile, the possibility of defecating during intimate intercourse cannot be completely eliminated. However, the risk of a possible defecation can be reduced.
Starting from ensuring your food intake and digestive condition before having sexual intercourse. Another thing that can be done is to strengthen the pelvic floor by doing Kegel exercises, exercises that involve contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles regularly.
