Pam-
Yes! I also have noticed the overwhelming sensation to have a BM during
intercourse, like I have absolutely no control over it! I thought it was
just me, or that I was gasy. I have an appointment in a month so I'll
ask my doctor then. Have you had any luck in finding anything out? If
so, let me know, I'm curious.
Take care!
