Enemas as preparation for anal sex

Apparently women used enemas in preparation for premarital anal sex which preserved their virginity and avoided pregnancy during difficult times.

Specifically, enemas were already widespread in use when they became part of birth control strategy during the 40's .

Has anyone heard of or read about this ?

I think someone is confusing enemas with douches. Douching was highly ineffective way to prevent pregnancy.

Lysol Douches had a role in the the illegal underground abortions of the day.

He's asking about couples who opted for anal rather than vaginal sex to avoid getting pregnant. The enemas were prep for anal sex. They were not trying to terminate a pregnancy.

Half the time LisaK doesn't know what she's talking about!

When I was much younger, I heard two of my Aunts talking about birth control. Doris, the younger of the two who had just gotten married, mentioned that there were other places to penetrate to prevent pregnancy. So, I'm thinking she may have had anal sex before marriage or maybe was planning to have anal sex.

I wanted the anal first. The fact it was a contraceptive was a happy coincidence.

It would be interesting to hear from some of our members who lived during the 1940-50s as kids (if they were adults they would be pretty old) and see if they were aware of enemas being used for anal sex prep. I think I remember some of the early Kinsey Studies reporting a small percentage of their sample size (heterosexual) saying they had engage in anal sex. So it is plausible some were using enemas prior to anal sex. Given enemas were very commonplace at that time, I could see how they would be used for anal sex prep.

The bigger question maybe how frequent was anal sex used as a alternative for preventing pregnancy regardless of whether enemas were used as prep or not.

Years ago a woman told me " you do know that girls in my country used anal sex to avoid getting pregnant ".

I think " the pill" may have changed that.

Unfortunately, the association of enemas as preparation didn't come up in the conversation.

ProV1,

I have heard it a few times, albeit anecdotally, that anal sex was in fact an option that became widespread due to circumstances.

I studied human sexuality in college and the research Ive done I think in most areas of the US and maybe Europe in the 1870s to the 1950s, most people that used enemas at all were for health reasons to "clean the gut". These were higher class aristocratic people that paid to have enemas by an enema nurse or their dr such as the likes of Dr John Harvey Kellogg who was a huge proponent of enemas at his clinic "the San" in Michigan. He also was very anti-sex as he was a 7th day adventist and believed that sex was evil and corrupted people. Historically I don't think either women or men from "civilized judeo-christian societies" practiced anal sex as it was thought of as dirty, taboo, evil, and immoral. The lower working class people may have had anal sex but i highly doubt it was for preventing pregnancy if they did at all. Bad guys back then often didnt care if they got a woman pregnant and if they were good honorable guys in a relationship such as marriage, they wanted more kids for free labor.

It has been a longtime since I have read the Kinsey Report but I do remember that there was a high correlation with a higher educational experience the higher the probability for sexual exploration. So I would bet on this group with a more formal education to use anal sex and the blue color crowd stayed with vaginal sex.

We use enemas most of the time when preparing for anal sex and certainly if we plan extended play there.

The only time we don't use preparatory enemas is when my husband just has to have my ass for a quick fuck and even then he asks me if I think he has a clear path.

Bingo, Switchable Susie- Sometimes the spontainaity of a good anal quickie is better than extended cleaning. 90% of the time I'm clean enough, and if not...well...poop happens. It's worth it for 'lift your skirt up, pull your panties down, standing up fuck'.

For me anything anal feels much better after a complete clean out because I have: (1) no poop for next 48 hours; (2) a very relaxed and horny ass for next hour or so that DESPERATELY NEEDS something inserted into it.

Bath houses, (sex clubs mainly catering to men who enjoy anal sex with other men), almost always provide 'cleaning facilities', which I'm pretty certain are designed for both external and internal cleaning. Enemas probably precede anal sex more often than not.

Well, from a male standpoint, I always take an enema if I know I'm going to be playing with another guy and I really hope he's taken one too. In fact, I always ask. If he hasn't then I'll offer to give him an enema. I don't play with a guy's ass, fingering, rimming, fucking - unless I know for sure he's enema clean.

When living Overseas, I was kindly informed that as the Girls should to be Virgins when marrying, anal sex was an accepted option and wasn't considered abnormal.

Enemas were often used as preparation beforehand.

Joy, joy.

Enemas are especially embarrassing (sometimes in a good way) when you get one in front of a group in preparation for a gang bang.

Hm, sounds interesting, but no. I have never heard of this.

A cleansing prior to anal is a must. If my wife or one of her girlfriends is about to peg me, i take a nice coffee enema or two. The same as if i am about to f#€£ her in the butt. Also if our friend is about to shoot a nice load of cum up my butt. But, if were doing what we did on my birthday, i get a nice colonic session. I was in a tight pink dress, g-string, high heels, and had a 4 hour long gangbang with 6 friends.

I have read that anal sex was a form of birth control. The word Greek Sex was used. Enemas were used as cleansing of the bowels when sick. If you put two and two together I am sure women would take an enema before receiving anal sex. At present most of us would take an enema to be clean for our partner to enjoy a nice clean anal passage

I'm sure some women have used anal sex to avoid pregnancy, but they better not consider themselves virgins! You had your partners penis, inside of you, leading to one or both of you having an orgasm!! You ARENT chaste, or pure... But that doesn't matter! Stop trying to find a loophole in mostly religious rhetoric nonsense about staying innocent. You had sex and there's nothing wrong with that!

As for OT, I've used enemas for 20 yrs and had anal sex for over 30. Never used enemas on my partner as prep for anal; they are their own enjoyable act that doesn't require another reason to indulge in.

Virginity is not exactly a real thing. A Woman's hymen being intact (I suppose the most important definition of virgin for most) has a historical importance and for anyone demanding that it be there. We all know that a woman may have never had sexual contact but have lost it do to any number of reasons. I understand the benefits of virgins marrying but I do not think it's a wise thing. I even remember one Episcopal bishop from the 1950's stating he would never marry a couple who had not had sex (there are numerous compatibility issues that can be determined before hand with a healthy dating period that includes sexual contact). I have heard of people this day who use anal sex as birth control as there are some women who do not react well to the pill. Although ironically I know a couple girls who had been in conservative Christian families who did have prescriptions to the pill due to extremely painful cramping that had often required medical attention.

Cleansing is always a good idea and I don't feel confident unless I know I am clean. But I think it is best to stick to low volume enemas. I find that a 2-3 qt enema can be tricky. Usually given about 15 minutes to expel, everything will be out, but sometimes a high colonic will still have fluid remaining and when it does come out it is pretty nasty. So I trust a limited filling to work best as a prep for a good pegging

My x wife and twin sister both used lysol for birth control. They would hop out bed run to the bath room for lysol douche get to strong would burn like hell. I remember wife would burn for hour or 2 after. I wonder how they had any vagina to even have sex

I have read about European women who used anal intercourse as a substitute for vaginal intercourse during and after WWII when basics were hard to come buy.

The word Greek Sex was used.

Greek or Greek Art was often used as a code word in personal ads placed in magazines or newspapers when the person placing the ad was looking for gay sex. This was an accepted code used up to the 1970s at least. Much naturally depended on the publication were such ads were placed. Obviously these would be placed in specialized publications, not in mainstream media. Think of such publications as 'the Village Voice' and other more 'sleazy' or underground publications that accepted personals.

However, the word 'sex' was not used. Usually ads would talk about finding for friends 'interested in Greek Art'. This being code for homosexual sex. Other code terms used were 'interested in English Art' - meaning punishment/spanking/flagellation/domination play. 'French art' was oral sex. I think that 'German art' was also used to denote enema play or heterosexual anal sex, though it could also be understood as subjugation/dominance play. I suppose there were other terms used as well.

I am familiar with older types of personal ads. I have a large collection Great War publications (1914-191😎 and in some of the Parisian 'girly' magazines like 'la Vie Parisienne' or 'le Sourire' etc, similar types of coded ads were placed, but usually not for gay sex/encounters.
