Is having digestive issues associated with too much sex?

1. This sounds like ignorance.

   He likely is experiencing digestive issues because of bad eating habits (maybe eating things that cause bloating, for instance). And then he notices it more after putting in work and moving in ways that might exhaust him and/or hurt his stomach more.

   But if there is an end result (constipation, diarrhea, etc.), I never heard of that being caused by too much sex. Again, diet and exercise are likely the issue here.

   But if he doesn’t have a high libido, he may want to blame the sex instead of his bad habits because it’s easier for him to give up the sex. You probably still want to talk to him to figure out if he wants to slow down on sex. He might not outwardly admit it (because of ego) but you can ask and see if his answer is having sex less and how eager he is on this.

   A lot of couples start with a lot of sex due to the novelty and then when that novelty has worn, they settle more into where their natural libidos naturally rest, so he may just be subconsciously doing that and blaming his digestive issues on the sex as a result.

2. He should see a doctor and find out the route cause

3. There’s no connection between his bowel movements and sexual frequency, unless he’s getting diarrhoea from ingesting unusual things during sex.

   His symptoms could be a manifestation of psychosomatic features, endocrine disorders such as hyperthyroidism, irritable bowel syndrome, coeliac disease, medication or drugs (if he’s partaking in cannabis or too much alcohol), or he’s just having a shitty week.

   Hope his gut settles and your sex life continue its run!
