constipation day after sex

I'm having a very strange thing happening to me that I've never experienced. After a couple of years of virtually no sex with a partner, I've been seeing someone and having regular sex. Every single time after we get up, I'm constipated (not normal for me) for the rest of the day and the entire next day, and sometimes part of the next day. It's extremely uncomfortable and I can't for the life of me figure out why this is happening after good sex. No anal sex involved. It's disturbing and I've never had this problem before. I'm a 53 year old woman. Anyone have an explanation?

thanks-

I have the same problem as well. I don't have sex often..I usually go a few months in between sex but whenever I do have sex , hours later I am constipated..other than that I am pretty regular.(about 3-4 bowel movements per day) I am so curious to find out why this happens..

Hey i'm not sure when you posted this but...i have just now experienced the same problem. iam a 34 year old woman and I have not been sexually active in 12 years.( spiritual beliefs) I just got married three days ago. My husband was a virgin .For the last three days we have been having the best sex. So good that we've been at it for hours all time of the day and night. I have not had a bowel movement since before my wedding. I was ALWAYS regular. the only thing i can think of is sex.  My diet and water intake have not change either. i don't now what to do. Just sent my husband off to by medicine.
