This is a book(let) about giving and receiving enemas. It contains some of what I have learned over the years (30).

Enemas have lots of purposes. When they are used for sexual purposes, they generally have two components:

1. They are pleasurable to give and receive.

2. There is an element of humiliation/pain on the receiving side, and dominance on the giving side.

Because of these quite different purposes, giving and receiving enemas takes on a tremendous variety of methods. In addition, most people who give/receive enemas also believe in their health benefits, so the concept of a "good cleaning out" works its way into the equation. Since I am not heavy into S and M, I won't delve into the methods by which enemas may be used for torture--only for mild pleasure/pain/humiliation--and of course, cleansing. My experiences with enemas go all the way back to childhood. I cannot remember the first time I received one, but I DO remember giving them to myself before I became a teenager. Even then, there was a sexual pleasure component that went with them. I was very secretive about this practice, and I don't believe that my parents ever found out about them. I have always preferred "high" enemas, in which the injection site is actually above the rectum (I'll tell you how to accomplish this later), because these cleanse the colon much more effectively (despite what some say). When I was in my late teens, I had my first experiences of giving enemas. I describe the first of these in the file "Annis" (Pun intended). "Annis" was a real revelation to me. She was a girl who liked anal experiences--as long as they did not hurt too much, they gave her a great deal of pleasure. I gave enemas to Annis whenever I could--when she had her period, and needed relief from cramps; when she was constipated (quite often, fortunately); when she and I had sex (she was under the mistaken impression that an enema would prevent conception--I did nothing to alter this impression, although I knew better); when she and I had anal sex; when I felt like giving her an enema and she didn't object, etc. I learned a great deal about giving enemas from her experiences as I gave them to her. I learned how to insert the tube (an art, really); I learned which tube to use (the largest); I learned how to lubricate her; I learned what REALLY hurt her, and what she CLAIMED hurt (but she still wanted me to do to her); I learned solutions, temperatures, amounts, etc. The one thing I could never get up enough nerve to do (it didn't fit the dominance/submission aspects of our relationship) is to ask her to give ME an enema. I fervently wish now that I had. However, you can imagine my utter delight at standing behind her as she crouched in the knee-chest position, her bottom open, pussy lips spread, tube inserted into her rectum, water filling her. That was quite an experience, which she and I repeated many times.

Annis never got into volume much. At the time, I didn't know how to get her to take enough water (there are methods, which I will describe later, to get your partner truly full--or if you want me to help . . .), so when she begged for me to stop, I cut off the flow and let her get up and go to the toilet. I found out later that the main problem with girls unable to take at least a bagful seems to be either lack of relaxation or a full colon, and the reason people have such negative memories of enemas (other than the embarrassment, etc.) is that they were FORCED to receive more water than they were ready to receive. Sometimes, of course, if you are punishing your enemate, this is a perfect way to teach her proper obedience and respect. But most times, the major reason people cannot take enough water is simply lack of relaxation. Annis and I discovered one way to overcome that. We had just had sex, and I had ejaculated inside of her vagina (remember, she thought enemas had something to do with birth control), so I determined to give her an enema. I told her: "Annis, I'm going to use the large tube (douche nozzle) on you, and I want you to lie down on your back, with your knees on your chest. I'm going to give you the entire bag of water, no matter what you say." She capitulated, and I proceeded to fill the bag with water (almost too warm to touch). She laid on her back, knees touching her nipples, and I inserted the tube and started the flow. As the water flowed in, I pinched off the flow every so often to help her take it all, but I refused to stop. She took the entire bag, held it about a minute, and then rushed to the toilet. After she expelled her enema, she commented: "I guess I CAN take a whole bag if I know you won't stop." In other words, she knew that no matter what it felt like, the entire bag would go inside her. When she decided THAT, she was able to take it all. I also stopped in the middle and let her cramps subside, and I did not hold the enema bag too high. I believe if I had known what I know now, Annis could have been trained to take nearly two full bags (4 quarts); most people can.

Giving and receiving the "standard" enema

The best enemas are given by partners. If you're on the receiving end, you can concentrate on relaxing, letting the water flow in, etc. If you're on the giving end, you can help your partner by elevating/lowering the bag, holding the tube securely in your partner's rectum, speaking encouraging words and shutting off the waterflow temporarily. It is also MUCH more erotic to receive an enema from someone else than it is to give one to yourself (although that's not bad), and it is tremendously exciting to give an enema to one's partner. Also, if you're into D and S, the whole dominance and submission scene is greatly enhanced by another person.

Pointers on receiving an enema:

1. Use the largest nozzle that's comfortable. If you have purchased the standard douche or enema bag, use the douche nozzle, not the enema nozzle. There are three reasons for this:

*The douche nozzle does not slide out as easily, because it is longer and thicker, and because it is "fluted," and wider at the insertion end than the middle. I generally make a small hole in the end of the douche nozzle so that the water flow will also come from the end of the nozzle rather than just the sides. Your anus is plenty big enough to accommodate the douche nozzle (after all, look at what sometimes comes OUT of it),

*Having the injection point higher in the rectum is more comfortable. Also, with the larger nozzle, you will be MUCH less likely to leak.

*If you are anal-erotic (most are), the larger nozzle is more pleasurable. Insert it full-length, until the end of the rectum stops it. More later about deep insertions.

2. Lubricate yourself. Many people lubricate only the nozzle, and then insert it into the rectum. If you lubricate yourself (or have your partner do it, if you have one), and

insert the lubricant into the rectum, the entire session will be much better--and you won't fill the holes of the nozzle with lubricant when you insert it. Vaseline works OK, although it's a bit messy. I don't like K-Y, because it has no oils in it and the anus gets sore. My favorite is a good hand lotion or cold cream (but not one with a lot of alcohol in it--look at the label), because it is sufficiently slick, but not impossible to wash off. I also recommend that your partner manipulate your anus and rectum a bit, thrusting a finger gently in and out, and dilating you. At this point, it is a good time to check for two things: first, is your rectum full? If it is, chances are that you will need two to four enemas to get completely cleaned out, depending on how much water you can take each time. Second, is there any spot on the anus or rectum that

feels sore or seems injured? If there is, proceed with care. This is supposed to be fun, not destructive!

3. Use WARM water. Some people believe cold water is better (more unpleasant for the subject), but if the object is to get as much water in as possible, to cleanse the colon, and to fill yourself or your partner completely full, warm water is best. A second choice is tepid (cool) water. This is sometimes better on hot days, when really warm water can make you sick. But the stimulating effects of warm water are much greater. Warm means that you can hold your hand in it without having to take it out because it burns. Your rectal/colonic mucosa is very susceptible to scalding.

Don't do something stupid.

4. Amounts of water: As a rule of thumb, I believe that the average person can hold almost four quarts, IF she begins "empty." If she is constipated, has not experienced enemas, or has a lot of gas or fecal matter (shit!) in her, she will be able to take much less. My suggestion is that you (if you're on the receiving end) take at least three enemas. The first will begin the process of emptying the colon. The second and third actually fill the colon and drain off the majority of the fecal matter inside. Take as much water as you can the first time. If you can take an entire two-quart bag, do so. Otherwise, take as much as possible. If you are giving your partner an enema, don't insist on her taking the entire amount the first time (more later on how to get her to take as much as she really can). Give as much as she can take, and then let her get up and go to the toilet. Be sure that she's expelled the entire enema before you give her another. Taking enemas is "learned;" the colon is not naturally used to having its peristalsis reversed, so relaxation is necessary. In addition, many people are so stopped up that their first two or three enemas serve only to start the process of "deep cleaning" the colon. Anyway, be merciful (unless that's not part of the scene).

5. Positions: In general, positions that involve sitting or standing are not good, while positions that involve lying down or kneeling are ok. I have experimented quite a bit with myself and others to develop the best enema positions.

Kneeling:

(in the medical books, it's called Knee-chest). Your partner's bottom is lifted high in the air, she has her head on a pillow, and her weight is resting on her knees and chest. This position puts the rear end higher than the head, which might seem very beneficial for receiving. It is the most exposed of all, and it seems to be the preferred position for many of the fetish films I've seen. However, the colon is basically a "U" shape. When one is in the knee-chest position, part of the colon is actually receiving

the water against gravity. This increases the internal pressure, and prevents your partner from taking as much water. Obviously, you may prefer this position for other reasons, but if you intend to maximize the enema's effect, it is not the best. This is a very good position, however, for training in obedience and submission, since the person you are training has no control at all. It's even better if you have positioned a couple of mirrors in appropriate places so that she can see what you are about to do. If you are concerned with her ability to receive the most fluid, you can position your partner on the floor, with her head and chest on a low stool so that her colon is essentially level. This is a bit "friendlier" when you plan to put in more than one bagful (which I highly recommend--very few people can get completely clean with just one enema bagful, unless you have one of the 4-quart bags sold through some supply houses).

On the back:

The next position is preferred by colon therapists for their work: your partner lies on her back with her feet drawn up nearly to her bottom, knees apart. This has a lot of advantages, in that your partner can see the progress of the enema, she can watch you insert the tube, it is a fairly comfortable position, etc. etc. You will find that it is relatively easy to take quite a bit of fluid in this position, and your partner can relax. An alternate is to have her rest her knees on her chest (if she's slender). She will be much better exposed this way, but it's harder to maintain unless your partner is pretty flexible. This position is nice as a relaxing alternate for the 2nd enema in a series of 3 or 4, and is especially good if you are taking a COOL water enema, since it seems that peristalsis is naturally reduced in this position. In addition, it's fairly easy for you to reach over and massage her abdomen to help the water flow in deeper--or to put a couple of fingers in her vagina. If you do this last thing, you will find that you can feel the rectum through the vagina, and determine degree of distention, positioning of the rectal tube, etc.

On the side:

This is the position recommended in all the nursing texts. It is called the "Sims'position" in these texts, and usually is depicted with the patient lying on her left side, the leg underneath drawn up slightly and the leg on top drawn up as far as is comfortable. This position is used for a multitude of medical procedures, such as colonoscopy. Its advantages are that it is very relaxing, it throws the weight off the abdomen and that it fully exposes the backside. It is much easier to see the anus when your partner is in this position (just lift up the top buttock) than in the preceding position (on the back). An alternate can be used here: first, your partner can ALMOST lie on her stomach. For this, the "under" leg is left nearly parallel with the body, and the "top" leg is drawn up almost to the chest. I have seen several films in which the women receiving the enema have taken almost four quarts the first enema. Obviously, this position has advantages in fluid acceptance and retention. In addition, it is an excellent position for deep insertions with the colon tube (the "high" enema) and for high colonics. It is not as good as the knee-chest position for D and S, but it comes close, because you can force in more water. This is the ideal position for pregnant women, since the uterus is moved away from the colon and rectum. I have also found that the right side is actually better for increasing capacity than the left side. The reason is that the rectum goes toward your upper side when you lie on your right side, but filling the transverse colon is actually aided by gravity. If you lie on your left side, the initial injection begins a bit more easily, but the water must then be forced uphill as it enters the transverse colon. This increases the cramping and sense of fullness associated with the enema, before your partner is actually full.

Combinations: The best combinations are: first enema, knee- chest; second enema, on the back; third (4th, 5th, etc.) on the side. It is also possible to switch positions during the giving of the enema. It is generally best if you do the knee-chest position first, because it is the most difficult to maintain.

Height and bag positioning: The best enemas are given slowly. If the water flows in under too much pressure, the reverse peristalsis will either make your partner "have to go" too soon, or she will start to leak (worst of all she may be completely unable to hold it). However, there needs to be sufficient pressure to overcome the natural resistance of the colon to the flow of water. I find this best accomplished by holding (or stationing) the bag fairly high, and then regulating the pressure with the clamp (most enema bags sold today have the flow-regulating type of clamp). If your partner feels cramping, stop the flow entirely for a minute or a half- minute (or until the cramps subside), and then proceed.

Solutions: Complicated solutions make for problems. The more unusual the solution (Pepsi-Cola, for example), the more unlikely you are to have a good time. Water has several advantages: it's cheap, it doesn't make a mess that can't be cleaned up, and it's less likely to irritate your partner. If you want to use different solutions, here are some ideas: SOAPSUDS. This is the classic enema solution--"Warm soapsuds enemas" are what you normally hear when someone talks about enemas. However, soap, because it's an irritant, tends to be less easy to hold. The colon fights it, so it's harder to take as much water. But if your partner has been naughty, a series of warm soapsuds enemas may be just what she needs. Use the liquid castile soap you get from the drugstore, and about a tablespoon of soap per enema bag. Too much, and you will irritate the mucous membranes in the colon (or damage them--then she couldn't take enemas, and what would you do??).

COFFEE. Believe it or not, a coffee enema (hold the cream and sugar) is an excellent stimulant for the entire body. Some people get INSTANT headache relief after a coffee enema. Use brewed coffee, and make it fairly strong; give about a quart. Give the coffee enema as a second or third enema in a series. Give it in the knee-chest position, V E R Y slowly (15 minutes or more is not too much time). Have your partner maintain the position, and retain the enema as long as possible. If you have "cleaned her out" properly, she should be able to hold it until much of it absorbs. This enema is also excellent given "high," with a colon tube. The high injection will help her retain the fluid.

EPSOM SALTS. Two or three tablespoons of epsom salts in her enema (2-quart bag) will literally make your partner explode! It is just as effective administered rectally as orally--but get out of the way after you finish giving it!

OIL. Use olive oil, or another vegetable oil. Mineral oil is dangerous to the body. The main problems with oil are: oil damages the equipment, and if you give very much, when your partner thinks she has to fart for the next few hours, she will probably be passing the oil--embarrassing! But excellent for cleansing if you're impacted or the feces are hard. Also an excellent preparation for anal sex or other games, but messy.
