💡 What Is Poophoria?
Poophoria is the state of euphoria or relaxation some people feel during or after a bowel movement. It’s not just in your head bro—there are real biological reasons why a poop can feel like a mini spa treatment for your nervous system.
🧠 Why Does Poophoria Happen?
Nerve Stimulation
The rectum is packed with nerves, and when it stretches and empties, these nerves fire signals that can trigger pleasure centers in the brain.
For some, this stimulation overlaps with the vagus nerve—which lowers stress, heart rate, and blood pressure.
Endorphin Release
Yeah sex is cool, but have you ever taken a shit so good that it makes your day? A satisfying poop can trigger the release of endorphins (feel-good hormones). These chemicals ease discomfort and bring on a sense of well-being.
Relief From Pressure
Constipation or a backed-up gut creates tension. The simple act of releasing that pressure can bring noticeable physical and emotional relief.
😕 Why Doesn’t Everyone Experience Poophoria?
Reasons can include:
Diet & Hydration: Poor gut motility means slower, harder poops.
Stress: A tense nervous system can block the vagus nerve’s calming effects. Reeeelaaaaaxxxxx broooooo.
Chronic Conditions: IBS, hemorrhoids, or pelvic floor dysfunction can make pooping painful instead of pleasant.
🚀 How To Boost Your Poop Experience
If you’ve never felt poophoria, here are some ways to try and change that:
Posture Check: Use a footstool to mimic a squat. (Get yourself one in the PoopMates store with your in-app poop points) This relaxes your pelvic floor and makes pooping smoother.
Stay Hydrated: Water keeps stools soft and easier to pass.
Fiber Balance: Both soluble (ex: apples) and insoluble (ex: veggies) fiber help regulate flow.
Stress Relief: Deep breathing, meditation, or even just taking your time in the bathroom can engage the vagus nerve.
Gut Support: Fermented foods (yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut) and magnesium-rich foods can improve stool consistency.
