Take extra note of spicy foods, eggs, red meat, caffeine, alcohol, and junk food, as these are common triggers. It’s also important to know your “trigger foods” and limit these foods a few days before you have sex. O’Shaughnessy advises you go easy on the whole grains, switch to white rice instead of brown, and peel your vegetables.
For example: An apple’s flesh is a soluble fiber, whereas the skin is an insoluble fiber.Īs a rule of thumb, you want to limit insoluble fiber 24 hours before you have sex. Most plant foods have a combination of both fibers. Insoluble fibers can be found in whole grains such as brown rice, wheat bran, nuts, beans, and some vegetables, like cauliflower, potatoes, and green beans. Soluble fibers are found in foods like oat bran, barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, peas, and most fruits and vegetables. The second, insoluble fiber, works mainly as a bulking agent and helps motility of the colon.” “The first, soluble fiber, has metabolic health benefits, supports constipation, and helps prevent things like hemorrhoids.
“It’s important to understand the different types of fiber, which is determined by how it dissolves in water,” O’Shaughnessy says. But fully harnessing its capabilities is more complex than tossing a spoonful of Metamucil into a glass of water––though that’s still a great idea. Know Your Fiberįiber is a bottom’s best friend. To source the integral ingredients of a bottom-friendly diet, I spoke with Daniel O’Shaughnessy, an award-winning nutritionist and author of Naked Nutrition, a forthcoming LGBTQ-focused guide to good health and diet.
Truth is, douching is not always necessary, especially when you make the effort to eat properly. But here’s some tea to whet your holes: You’re overdoing it, especially in the douching department. The prep work is excessive and an unfair expectation that prevents many bottoms from being intimate. Nor do they endure the grueling preparatory shower, pumping bulbs worth of bathwater into their asses as Chromatica plays just loud enough so their roommates can’t hear. Tops (you know, the insertive partner during sex) don’t forgo their beloved morning coffee, subsisting on a strict diet of ice chips and gummy bears.
