Water, lots of it.
Also food containing a moderate amount of fiber (often fruits and vegetables, but also beans, lentils, etc).

1: Eat more fiber, but not harsh fiber like grain products or apples. Fiber provided in banana and pumpkin are great for this. Avoid bread, cheese, and foods highest in inulin (causes bloating which can be severe while constipated). Greens such as salad greens, brasicae/brassicaceae, and potherbs should also be avoided while constipated, but while not constipated eat them as you see fit. Eating too much of the wrong type of fiber (such as bread) can make things far worse.
2: Drink plenty of water.
3: Go for a walk or a jog. While this not only triggers a chemical response in the body, the physical motion itself helps the G.I. tract to process food and move feces along.
4: Related to the latter portion of #3, massage your lower abdominal area, specifically your intestines, a few times a day. This can be done by jiggling the tummy area back and forth or gently massaging hard sections of the intestines through your skin. This shouldn't hurt, so don't use too much force.

I shit maybe maybe three times a week and its hard girthy and long but made up of chestnut sized balls smashed together. I can barely push it out. Most of the time it tears my ass hole a little. I am OK with this as I absolutely hate taking a shit.

fiber and water at every meal. The problem is considering the fiber intake as some sort of "one time medicine" to use like once a week. But to avoid problems you need that every day, every meal. It's not like it's that hard to get a slice of whole flour bread at each meal.

that's not how fibers work. fiber is there to make your next shit softer, it won't magically make the one that is already clogging the body magically go liquid.

The two choices of anal sex
Clean youself out completley and get constipated becuase you need to replenish your internal flora

Get constipated becuase you ate a shit load of cheese so you could block yourself up and precent your lover from getting a shitty dick.

Now you need a dick up your ass on the reg. becuase the in and out motion is the only thing that keeps you regular now. And the only thing that helps relax your prostate.
