I dunno, it's prolly cuz u pee out sum of the stuff in coffee so it smells like it. Makes cents 2 me! Coffee has sulphur compounds in it and those smells. Imagine how bad your pee would smell if you ate a skunk!
funny you mention eating a skunk and stinky piss. about half the population's piss reeks after eating asparagus. there is an enzyme in about half the population that breaks down whatever is in asparagus. the half who doesn't have this enzyme suffers from some of the stinkiest piss after eating asparagus. the same chemical that gives a skunk it's stink is in asparagus, just not as concentrated.

Quote:
Certain compounds in asparagus are metabolized giving urine a distinctive smell due to various sulfur-containing degradation products, including various thiols, thioesters, and ammonia.[18]
The volatile organic compounds responsible for the smell are identified as:[19][20]
* methanethiol, * dimethyl sulfide, * dimethyl disulfide, * bis(methylthio)methane, * dimethyl sulfoxide, and * dimethyl sulfone.
Subjectively, the first two are the most pungent, while the last two (sulfur-oxidized) give a sweet aroma. A mixture of these compounds form a "reconstituted asparagus urine" odor.
This was first investigated in 1891 by Marceli Nencki, who attributed the smell to methanethiol.[21]
These compounds originate in the asparagus as asparagusic acid and its derivatives, as these are the only sulfur-containing compounds unique to asparagus. As these are more present in young asparagus, this accords with the observation that the smell is more pronounced after eating young asparagus.
That's from WIKI. Pretty interesting stuff.

It does the same to me most of the time. I often wondered why the drink of choice in offices, business, and social gatherings is a liquid laxative. Plus, if you ripped a nasty fart in a coffee shop everybody would be appalled holding their warm laxatives in their hand knowing full well they better make it back to their designated places before they start sharding coffe-induced poop strudel.
The idea of attempting to finish off a date hoping for sex by drinking laxative just does not compute.

eh I think when you drink enough of it, the laxative effect kind of wears off....
or at least makes it easier to ignore, anyway

And it's also a really hot smell too. Like if I feel dehydrated and catch a whiff of that hot nastyness, it makes me want to stick my head in the freezer for a few minutes.

Coffee is not a laxative, its a diuretic. Its the caffeine that makes you have to shit. Caffeine, as we all know, is a stimulant. When you get a stimulant in you, it kick starts a lot of your body's systems and functions. In this case, it kick starts the digestive system, causing the intestines to contract and pushing digested food through your bowels and then out your ass. This happens in the morning mostly (when most people drink coffee, and consequently take a shit), because theres left-over digested or digesting food in your intestines thats remaining from the day/night before. This is why coffee makes me have to shit in the morning, but if I drink coffee in the afternoon or evening it doesn't have the same effect. And now you know.

I've actually been diagnosed with CSPS (coffee-scented pee syndrome). I just take it day by day and do my best.

Your explanation is 100% weapons grade balonium.
Stimulants don't make you shit. Usually stimulants activate the so called flight or fight response, which reduces the amount of blood in your GI tract.
Does your shit smell like coffee after you drink a bunch of coffee?

I would have to agree with Boneman on this. I have noticed it with other stimulents as well. Ask most meth users that shoot up about it. Most will tell you after doing a good shot taking a shit is unavoidable. Providing they have anything in there system to get out anyway.

Stop buying meth cut with laxative, perhaps.
Doesn't make much sense to me to think that stimulants stimulate the poo.
I don't really care that much, but I think the explanation is balonium.

That experience would be from when I knew cooks. Only uncut product. I am sure it had to do with it being a stimulant.

Maybe you're right.

I still think it's balonium.

Well its well known that opiates which slow your system down cause constipation. It would stand to reason that a stimulant would have the opposite effect.
I could be wrong but it makes sense to me anyway.

Making sense is a bare minimum, but just because something makes sense doesn't mean it's right. If something does not make sense, then of course it's wrong.
My reason for thinking that stimulants do not cause one to defecate also makes sense, but that doesn't mean that my explanation is right. I'm thinking about the fact that stimulants constrict blood flow to the stomach and GI tract, which slows down food digestion. However, I don't know the specifics of what happens, so I could just as easily be wrong: many stimulants (and I'm referring to endogenous and xenobiotic stimulants) have those effects on the stomach and GI tract but could also cause people to need to defecate.
The reason that opiates cause constipation isn't necessarily linked to their narcotic action. Opiates act on receptors which reduce the amount of water being pumped into your GI tract and they reduce the mechanical pumping along the tract. Their action is due to the local action of opiates on receptors in the tract and not their effect on the CNS.
Again, I could be wrong. Maybe methamphetamine has a localized effect which causes you to defecate. I really don't know and we're not going to get to the bottom of it only by proposing explanations that make sense (because, again, that is the minimal criteria for an explanation). I think that the explanation is baloney just because it doesn't sound particularly well thought out.
