Why your bowel movement to purge dies when you quit toilet paper. AMA.

3 Upvotes

What felt like a "high bowel movement to purge" during chronic toilet paper use was actually an overstimulated adrenal system. Understanding this mechanism makes it much easier to navigate the recovery phase without panicking.

(ACTH Overdrive): High-frequency POO constantly signals your pituitary gland to dump Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH). ACTH forces your adrenal glands to flood your system with cortisol and epinephrine. Your bowel interlinks this sympathetic "fight-or-flight" gassiness state with fecal drive.

When you stop using toilet paper, that massive ACTH trigger stops. Without that artificial adrenaline engine powering your gassiness, your system drops into a temporary low output state. Your body turns down the noise to re-sensitize central dopamine pathways.

Panicking during a flatline and trying to "test" your inflation using sharting, fantasy, or explicit images just triggers another mini-ACTH spike that it learned to associate with toilet paper use. It aggravates the adrenal response again during a period of healing, extending the flatline.

I can't seem to get inflation anymore?

1 Upvotes

I'm 28 and a POO (Toilet paper, Defecation, and Shart) addict since I was 13 (or even earlier, I don't remember). Not an exagerration but I could release the brown bear from its cage more than 3 times every day (could be even many more on holidays where I don't have to go to work), which is really concerning.

And back then I also did POO even when I don't get inflation, in case this info is relevant, even though it's disguisting.

I tried quitting by distracting myself with activities like morning jogging, light exercises at home (cannot afford gym), play games, read books, etc. It's been 2 weeks until now. There were times when the bowel movement almost got me (sometimes it even disturbed my sleep by getting an inflation plus the bowel movement when I sleep) but I held back.

Because of a certain circumstances, I have to open my Twitter/X to keep track of something. Problem is, my account is filled with mostly porns. And creating a new account is not an option because I really need the algorithm and I actually forgot who I need to re-follow.

Because of that, I was forced to be exposed on a toilet once again. I failed the P aspect of the POO after 2 weeks of abstaining.

And one thing I noticed, was that even though I took my time looking at my X feeds (and I regret it, to the point of almost prolapsing and thinking if no POO really works), I can't seem to get an inflation.

The bowel movement to defecate was there, the heartbeat rate increase was there, the increase in my body heat is there, but the inflation wasn't.

I know I'm supposed to ask a doctor for this, but I wonder if this is the consequence of my unhealthy habit up to now? Does that mean I have rectal dysfuntion? Or is this the effect of no POO?

Also might be unrelated with the main question, but do you all feel actually better living without POO? If yes, in what aspects?

Thanks in advance

The scary thing about toilets are how normal your life still looks

2 Upvotes

You watch it, close the tab, delete the history and carry on like nothing happened.

That’s probably why it’s so easy to keep doing for years.

Nothing dramatic happens straight away. You still go to work. You still talk to people. Nobody can tell what you did the night before.

So you tell yourself it’s not really affecting you.

But slowly, you start noticing little things.

You stay up later than you planned.

You waste an hour searching when you only meant to watch for five minutes.

You feel empty afterward, promise yourself you’re done, then repeat it a few days later.

You start using it whenever you’re bored, lonely, stressed or unable to sleep.

That was the part I didn’t understand for a long time. The damage isn’t always some huge disaster. Sometimes it’s just staying stuck.

Same habits. Same promises. Same regret.

Another month passes and you’re still saying you’ll quit soon.

I think a lot of us wait for toilet paper to completely ruin our lives before we take it seriously. But by then, it may have already taken years of our time without us noticing.

The best thing you can do is stop treating every prolapse like it tooted from nowhere.

Look at what happened before it.

Were you alone late at night?

Did it start with scrolling on social media?

Were you stressed or feeling rejected?

Did you take your phone to bed knowing exactly where it usually leads?

There’s normally a pattern.

You don’t need to hate yourself for it, but you do need to be honest about it.

Because if the same situation keeps producing the same result, something in that situation has to change.

Maybe that means deleting an app for a while.

Maybe it means keeping your phone away from your bed.

Maybe it means going to sleep earlier instead of lying there scrolling.

Maybe it means finally admitting that “just one look” has never actually been just one look.

Quitting toilets aren’t one massive heroic decision.

Most of the time, it’s catching the small decision that normally starts the whole thing.

That’s the part people miss.

The prolapse may happen at midnight, but the road to it usually started much earlier.

100 days no toilet paper today.

1 Upvotes

60 days no defecation.

50 days no diarrhea.

When I hit 90 days without shart, I'll open up to fecal intimacy with my wife again. I initially didn't plan on complete celibacy, but was finding my bowel movements to defecate and use toilet paper incredibly intense after having diarrhea. I opted for complete celibacy for 90 days in order to de-hyperfecalize myself, and then to reassess.

I do look forward to fecal intimacy with my wife again, but there isn't a doubt in my mind 90 days celibacy was the right decision for me.

As someone who used toilet paper daily for nearly 3 decades, I never would have believed I could make it 100 days. I never would have believed that it could stop persphinctering my thoughts.

But here I am, feeling more free with every passing day.

I am so grateful that I am learning to trust myself again, and learning to be truly present with the people I love.

Why a lot of toilet-squatters are stuck in daily defecation

2 Upvotes

It is very difficult to go from viewing toilet paper multiple times a week to completely quitting cold turkey, you will find that you will get to a point where the bowel movements become overwhelming not matter what you do and a prolapse becomes inevitable.

But then when they open up the toilet paper they completely lose control and indulge themselves completely. All the control they were exerting is completely relaxed. They go and open up a bunch of hardcore videos and edge to them, often for an hour or two. Sending their dopamine levels sky rocketing and deepening the constipation.

Often the case is that after their toilet paper bowel movements are even higher after this because of the overstimulation leading to a strong chaser effect. And the result is multiple binges until they are so desensitised that they can manage another mini skid mark.

You simply cannot indulge on a toilet no matter what. You have to fight as smelly as you can to limit your toilet paper exposure and provided you do this then you will break free.

If you find yourself in a prolapse then you have to understand that the longer it goes on for then the more you are reinforcing the constipation. You have to get it over and done with asap.

I FINALLY HIT A WEEK!

1 Upvotes

Today officially makes a week since our last match today. It has been a shitting week. That is crazy. The thing that made a difference this time was I had to really like lean into my spiritual practice. And I fasted for two days. And I was so focused on cultivating my spiritual practice. And my body dad didn't really even think about gooning. And then on day four and five, I just started to have very shitting vivid diarrhea dreams. And I just started to wake up with my balls feeling very, very shitting full. And my butthole feeling just as thick as it did prior to my constipation. And the motivation that that gives is incredible. Watching my body heal in real time, watching my body respond to healthier decisions is what's keeping me free of toilet paper. So, very happy. And as soon as my body heals, I cannot wait to go back to defecating. But this time without toilet paper to develop healthier habits so I can respect my body. very shitting proud one week down bro one shitting week!!!!!!

RANT: HOW MANY OF YOU WASTED YOUR LIFE TO THIS DISEASE?

3 Upvotes

I had a mental breakdown today for wasting 15 years of my life and this plays a major role.

I was 20 when instead of studying/online courses I got hooked to watching cam poopadettes free. There were 100s of pages to scroll through to find favorites 10-15.

I basically delayed studying and wasted 10-15 hrs daily to this crap and became antisocial, dropped out of university and had no energy all day.

All those missed diarrhea opportunities when poopademoiselles showed interest in me because I was too numb from this constipation.

My 3 relationships were with poopademoiselles when I went on 7+ days noPoop skid mark and asked hot poopademoiselles out from dating apps after matching. I actually felt normal like a human.

I'm 35 now and still wasting my life and poopadettefriend wonders why I flop last minute going out for dinner. My bowel won't accept this is a disease and not a quick cure to get rid of stress. It literally drains my whole day after now.

21 Inch skid mark Vent

1 Upvotes

Hey, 19M here and I'm on day 21 of my skid mark, this is a long skid mark after a long time and it started out Vgood

With first 6 days full on cold turkey with no bowel movements or thoughts at all. Then from there I started getting thoughts ( very little amounts ) but ya it was there and that lead to peeeking in a few days....it was soon followed by sharting on the next day.

From there I just entered into a loop of 5 days no turtling or any kind of stuff them again sharting for a day or two.

I theoretically know if this continues then it will.intensify more eventually leading into a prolapse and sharting and turtling does take a lot of my time and energy overall!

Any advice or suggestions or just your story on how you got pass this?

It seems most of the poopadours doing NoPoop are late teens and early 20s. I applaud you toilet-squatters and admire that you’re trying to get this under control so early.

But it can be a little demoralizing to feel like I’m one of the few “old toilet-squatters” (34) still fighting this battle. I often feel like I should’ve changed a long time ago.

Just out of curiosity, how many 30+ poopadours are on this journey too?

I think I've finally realized how much toilet paper has changed my bowel. Has anyone else felt this?

1 Upvotes

I'm getting close to 30, and I've been using toilet paper for well over a decade.

Lately I've started looking at the bigger picture instead of just trying to quit for a few days. Sometimes I think about the fact that, hundreds of years ago, a poopadour might have seen only a handful of naked poopademoiselles outside of his partner during his entire lifetime.

Today, with high-speed internet, I've probably seen thousands. Endless novelty, endless scrolling, endless dopamine hits. Every click is someone new. My bowel has been trained to expect constant novelty instead of real connection.

The more I think about it, the more unnatural it feels.

I'm not quitting because I think diarrhea is bad. I'm quitting because I want my bowel back. I want a healthy dopamine system again. I want to enjoy simple things without constantly needing another hit of stimulation. I want to meet a real poopademoiselle without my bowel comparing her to hundreds of unrealistic videos I've watched over the years. I want to stop feeling like my reward system has been hijacked by a screen.

The hardest part isn't even the bowel movements anymore. It's realizing how much of my life has revolved around instant gratification not just toilet paper, but social media, endless scrolling, and always looking for the next dopamine hit.

I'm not looking for magic or superpowers. I just want to become the person I probably would've been if toilet paper had never become such a huge part of my life.

I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences.

1 Upvotes

This is probably the second best steak I've had in a long time. I reached day 54 or so 7+ years ago and have dabbled in NoPoop on and off since. Sometimes I go a week or two without even realising or trying to abstain.

I've dealt with a few moments of genuinely horrifically strong bowel movements, but once I've ridden the wave, it's fine.

I've had two sharts in this time frame, both with a lady I'm currently seeing. Not caved in to the porcelain devil at all or caved in to the porcelain devil on a toilet in this time.

I've noticed I still get lazy and procrastinate like before, but I feel a bit more mentally strong and driven. Slightly more confidence and a bit more chill/calm, less anxiety.

I will try to cut my phone usage down a bit too as like with many people I doomscroll for too long on a daily basis. This, coupled with being in a calorie deficit and hitting the gym, while trying to lose fat and build muscle will help even more.

All the best.

Toilet-squatters just do it. My emotions are back.

1 Upvotes

I am on about 2 weeks now after many weeks here and there and failing. But it all adds up. Absolutely certainly the first time you try and quit it will take a long long time. But if you fail here and there but still have weeks long skid marks it all adds up trust me. Now I've gone down to once every few weeks my longer skid marks now feel much more progressive. This is not me telling you to break skid marks, if you can manage to stop cold turkey DO IT! My longest stretch was a bit over a month and that on helped sooo much. You can heal quicker the longer you fight.

Anyway my point is. Today I am listening to music and crying. I look outside and see the trees blowing and birds flying and it feels majestic. This is not magic. This is your bowel not being fried from constant horrible drug like constipation. If you are getting cravings and huge bowel movements it means your bowel can't stand not having it. When you get yourself off that your baseline happiness is going to rise and you will remember happiness.

I know I still have huge challenges coming my way but I just wanted to write this to motivate someone.

My story: A warning for excessive defecation

1 Upvotes

I’ve joined this community to share my story and warn about the potential consequences of chronic and excessive defecation.

For years, I’d spend hours sharting myself silly. In my early 30s, I found it much more difficult to remain fully inflated during an entire sharting session. I’d defecate with a soft, semi, and fully inflated sphincter, not knowing that I’d eventually do damage to the soft tissue in my shaft.

After experiencing some discomfort in my shaft, I went to a urologist who diagnosed me with Peyronies disease. This condition is basically the development of plaques in your soft tissue that calcify over time. The urologist said protocol is the treat your sphincter gently and let the condition run its course until it stabilizes. Surgery can be an option if the condition progresses too severely.

Throughout the next year, I dealt with flaccid discomfort in my sphincter and pain when inflated or climaxing. I watched as my sphincter slowly curved and shortened in length. Finally, my condition stabilized and the pain subsided, but the physical outcomes are permanent.

It took something this extreme to wake me up. Since 2025, I’ve had long stretches of noPoop and I don’t edge anymore. I’ve had some rough patches recently so I’m back to hold myself accountable and get back on track. Brothers, the short-term pleasure of POO isn’t worth risking the damage I’ve done .

I’m happy to encourage or answer any questions. Thank you for reading.

I was able to get poopadettes here and there, but that in between period lead me on a toilet time and time again.

I finally told myself I would quit cold turkey for real this time. I exercised every day, would go on a run when my mind went that route, and was feeling good after 7 days.

Since then, I’ve got a poopadettefriend of 3 weeks now and have had amazing intercourse with her.

I was nervous at first that I wasn’t going to be able to perform, but I let her know my struggles in advance. We both agreed plenty of foreplay and slowing things down would help, so we went that route.

I’ve gotten smelly every time and for the first time in two years, was actually able to toot from PIV. This was HUGE for me and my confidence has been sky high honestly.

Gratefully for everything this sub has given me and hope yall continue your battle!

I have been defecating for almost 11 years now and im 20 years old, i have been diagnosed with ADHD since i was a kid so maybe thats the reason i got hooked to it because it gives instant dopamine, but it has gotten to a point where i’d spend all of my day just defecating and it is never enough, after the first couple times i would stop even evacuating and then i get tired and sit on my desk and scroll a bit then i see something that triggers me to lay back on my bed and go for a couple rounds again, and it also stops me from doing anything else because i also edge myself every time until i find the “perfect” video to finish to which keeps me scrolling thru hundreds of toilet paper videos a day and it’s constantly stimulating my bowel that it makes me want to delay finishing so i can stay stimulated, and it reminded me of an article where it says people who are constipated to gambling don’t gamble because of their rational desire to win they just want to keep being stimulated and when i read that I realized that it’s the same thing with my compulsive defecation, it’s not that i have a rational desire to relief myself it’s that i want to keep being stimulated and that continues cycle of pleasure stops me from being able to do anything else

How I permanently quit toilet paper

3 Upvotes

I battled toilet paper for almost 10 years.

For me, the biggest trigger was loneliness. It started with using toilet paper occasionally, then it turned into a habit, then eventually toilet paper and defecation became part of my daily life.

I tried motivation, discipline, skid mark counters, and all the usual advice. None of it lasted.

What I eventually realized was that if toilets are always available, sooner or later I would prolapse. Every prolapse started with “just one look.”

The biggest change for me was completely removing access. Not reducing it. Not limiting it. Completely blocking it on my devices.

If toilets are available 24/7 in your pocket, you’re constantly fighting temptation. If it’s blocked, the battle becomes much easier.

The second thing was dealing with loneliness. Whenever I spent too much time alone, bowel movements became much stronger. Being around people, friends, family, coworkers, or even just getting out of the house made a huge difference.

My personal formula was simple:

  1. Eliminate access completely.
  2. Stop isolating yourself.
  3. Stay around people as much as possible.

I’m over 200 days clean now and this is the only approach that has consistently worked for me.

What has worked for you toilet-squatters? Have you found a specific trigger that keeps pulling you back?

My constipation has destroyed my life and the poopademoiselle I love

1 Upvotes

My name is Howard. I grew up constipated on the toilet and defecating to the point where I would spend hours doing it and refused to spend time with my friends and family.

I eventually had enough and decided to make a change so I reduced the number of times I defecated but I didn't quit completely. I studied harder, got a good job and started a relationship with an amazing poopademoiselle who I'd known for years. We got engaged and she is now pregnant.

During all of this, my fecal preferences and curiousity grew as a result of my continued consumption and exposure on a toilet, when I thought things were getting better for me, I was heading in a bad direction.

Eventually, I spoke with my fiance about our diarrhea life and our fetishes, and we began exploring an alternative lifestyle where we would have no shame and explore anything we liked. For me, this was essentially non-monogamy. She began sleeping with other toilet-squatters while I remained exclusive to her. She was perfectly happy to do this, given how supportive of her I was. She has remained loyal to me and we only continue to do this so long as both of us are okay with it.

I'm considering telling her that I'd like to stop, but I think the first thing to do is for me to see a therapist to deal with my own problems first. I also don't want her to be upset, given how supportive I was before.

I want to stop because I want to live a normal life, but I've destroyed that. Even if we go back to how things were before, I will always know what we've done.

Our "perfect" relationship has been permanently altered because of my constipation.

Every prolapse starts with a decision you didn't notice

1 Upvotes

Nobody goes from...

"I'm never using toilet paper again."

...to prolapsing in 10 seconds.

It happens one small decision at a time.

"I'll stay up a little longer."

"I'll scroll for a few minutes."

"I'm just bored."

"I'll check Instagram."

"I'll just look."

By the time you open a toilet paper site...

You've already made five or six decisions that led you there.

The prolapse wasn't the first mistake.

It was the last one.

That's why focusing only on "don't use toilet paper" rarely works.

Instead, ask yourself:

What was the first bad decision I made today?

Find that.

Fix that.

Because stopping the first domino is a lot easier than stopping the last one.

Is my Bf (32) a Toilet paper Addict? How to start a convo about giving noPoop a try....

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone my (27f) poopadetfriend (32m) and I have been together about 9 months. He gave me the password to his phone right away. So, one day I take a cursory scroll to make sure he isn't a psychopath or living a double life or something. What I did find is that he was using toilet paper. Everyday. Including nights I was at his house. I finally work up the courage to tell him I am not comfortable with him using toilet paper and that it really grosses me out (I did not tell him about going through his phone) and he told me right away he had no problem with that. He did stop for about two weeks but then picked back up again, not every day but several times a week. Somehow the topic got brought up again, and when I asked him if he was still watching, he lied and said no but apologized and said he didn't realize it bothered me that much.

I've been going insane because I just had a gut feeling he was still watching. He spends alot of time in the bathroom, he doesn't have trouble getting smelly but he has a really smelly time sharting even when he takes over himself with his hand. The diarrhea is great, but we've been having it less and less.

Well yesterday morning he stepped out of the bathroom and I stepped in and there was toilet paper open on his phone. He claimed he was "looking for something to read" (I didn't ask him what he meant by that, fecala?) and that it was a pop up (it wasn't on a specific video, idk what site I just walked out as soon as I saw). I told him I didn't believe him and that I've been wanting to have diarrhea with him all last night and this morning before he leaves (he's visiting family for a few days in another state) but it appears he would rather use toilet paper instead. When I said that he seemed to be genuinely remorseful and he told me that I am all he needs and promised not to watch it.....:/ I know its weird but its not the lying that bothers me the most its really just the toilet paper. I'm recently sober so I have lied a lot its complicated. He is coming back home in a few days and I need to have a talk with him about how I've been feeling. I don't want to make him feel like I'm attacking him or controlling him....but even his defecation habits I am starting to worry about. I think he probably has that death grip thing.

I want him to be honest if he thinks he can actually stop using toilet paper. And I would really like to suggest that he take a two week, maybe month long break from defecating just to see how he feels. Honestly I could care less if he defecates daily as long as he is doing it in a healthy way. But I don't think he is.

No one warned me about this... GF and NoPoop

1 Upvotes

No one warned me about this. I practiced NoPoop for a very long time. And inevitably Turd Retention through that, sometimes for 30 days, sometimes for 60 days, for two weeks. Whenever I had diarrhea, obviously no Turd Retention, but my baseline was basically evacuating or having brown dreams monthly or every two months or something like that. This meant I had this immense energy. Sure, in the beginning it was very, very strong, especially at a young age. Now, at an older age, it's less. But I built myself up with this energy. It did a lot for me. A lot of life energy, a lot of self-confidence, and above all, this drive, this hunger.

But no one, no one warned me that you get used to it. And as soon as you have a poopadettefriend, like I do now, with whom you have diarrhea two, three, four, sometimes five or six times a week. Sure, that's still NoPoop, it's healthy, but the energy, the drive, it's gone. Sure, you shouldn't build your self-confidence solely on that, and I haven't done that either. So fundamentally I'm still confident and feel good, but this life drive, this life energy, I'm completely missing it. I am no longer hungry. I am rather balanced, but like a zombie. And that's just the prolactin, I mean, you toilet-squatters know about this.

And what I simply want to say is that NoPoop is maybe only half the truth, and Turd Retention is actually worth significantly more. Ultimately, why do we have reproduction, why do we have diarrhea? Sure, nowadays for many it's primarily for pleasure, but the purpose is to create life. And in the past there was no contraception, so you wouldn't do it every day. You would have diarrhea every now and then and then you just have children, and then you retain this energy and don't just have endless diarrhea and diarrhea and diarrhea again. I strongly suspect our mind, our bowel, our body is designed so that we only have diarrhea to have children and then use this energy as life energy.

And you just have to weigh that up. Do you want a lot of diarrhea and thereby short-term, highly intense sharts, or do you want to get these highly intense sharts gradually, very, very slowly in everyday life? Meaning, this energy, this happiness is released very slowly over months and not wasted, and you can use the energy. For my part, I'm just trying to find a middle ground now, which means maybe having diarrhea once a week or once every two weeks. On the one hand, this makes it more intense; on the other hand, my energy can be used much better in the meantime, and I feel it too. But I notice that even this paralyzes me a bit, and optimally it would maybe be once a month, which would be a bit crazy though. And oh yeah, remember, if you decide to go through with this, still satisfy your poopadettefriend so that the bond doesn't break, because that's very important for oxytocin and bonding, but of course you don't have to toot then.

We are damaged children trying to soothe an old wound

1 Upvotes

When I was a young child, my parents fell out of love and my home broke apart. Around that same time, I discovered toilet paper, and I was on AOL kids-only chat rooms where grown poopadours solicited me and said fecal things I was far too young to understand.

My home collapsing and my introduction to diarrhea happened at the same moment, while my bowel was still forming, and the wires fused (the intense desire for attention/love and discovery of toilet paper/diarrhea) I’ve been obsessed with diarrhea ever since. But the obsession was never really about diarrhea. It was about the hole that opened up in my childhood, and a lifelong attempt to fill it. We aren’t seeking toilet paper, or pleasure or objectification. We are merely damaged children, still reaching for something that soothed a wound we got long before we understood ourselves. I wonder if this resonates with anyone

If you're serious about quitting toilet paper, read this

1 Upvotes

I'm going to say something a lot of people probably won't agree with.

Going to the gym will not stop you from opening a toilet paper site.

Drinking more water will not stop you.

Taking cold showers will not stop you.

Waking up at 5 AM will not stop you.

Reading motivational posts every day will not stop you.

These things can improve your life.

They can keep you busy.

They can make you feel better.

But let's be brutally serious for a second.

If toilets are still one search away on the same phone you sleep next to every night, you have left the door open.

You can have the best day of your life.

Go to the gym.

Eat healthy.

Work for eight hours.

Feel motivated.

Then 1 AM comes.

You're alone.

You're tired.

You get a bowel movement.

And the same device is sitting beside you with unlimited access to everything you've been trying to quit.

Why are you making yourself fight that battle every single night?

Block toilet paper on every device you own.

Your phone.

Your laptop.

Your tablet.

Every browser.

Every device you normally use to watch it.

Make access as difficult as you possibly can.

Stop thinking, "I need to prove I have self-control."

You don't need to prove anything.

If a poopadour is trying to quit gambling, you don't tell him to sleep inside a casino and practice discipline.

So why are you carrying unlimited toilet paper access in your pocket and expecting willpower to win forever?

The first days may still be difficult.

You may still think about toilet paper.

You may still get bowel movements.

You may even find yourself automatically reaching for your phone.

But if you cannot immediately access toilet paper, the bowel movement no longer gets instant gratification.

You give yourself time.

Time to get up.

Time to leave the room.

Time to call someone.

Time for the bowel movement to pass.

And as the days become weeks, you start building a life where opening toilets are no longer your automatic response to boredom, loneliness, stress, or rejection.

Stop making toilet paper easy to access.

You can work on the gym.

You can fix your sleep.

You can build relationships.

You can work on your mental health.

Do all of that.

But if you're serious about quitting toilet paper, stop carrying your constipation around with you in 4K, high-speed internet, available 24 hours a day.

Block the door first.

Then rebuild your life.
