Mom enemaed me not so often, perhaps zwo to maximum three times per month, i think. There were often longer breaks between them. Every enema I didn't get was a good enema. And then the next one came out of nowhere.
In our bathroom, there was a red, one-piece rubber bulb for all to see; or rather, it was stuck upside down in an empty glass of water. I never asked Mom why. I didn't want to stir up a hornet's nest.
My first enema, which I can still consciously remember, was given to me by my mom after I started school, so at about six years old. The rubber bulb held approximately 5 oz, and it emptied completely inside me. Typically, three bulbs made up one enema. This was followed by two more enemas with clean water to flush out any remaining soap from the first.
As I got older, a fourth bulb was added, and, to make matters worse, a larger, two-part rubber bulb with a black nozzle found its way into the bathroom. It had an estimated volume of 8 oz. Mom initially started with three bulb fillings per enema, but soon increased that to four, and later to five.
I must have been about 12. We didn't have rubber bags back home. I first saw them hanging at some friends' houses. Without warning, an enameled enema can suddenly appeared in the bathroom, which I was immediately introduced to. I was 12 or 13 then. Mom gave me a punishment enema. I must have earned it, but that's another story. What scared me was that you couldn't see how much was in the can. I later saw that there was a scale inside that went up to two liters.
That was definitely my most horrible enema, and also my last. Mom probably didn't miss the erection I got when she inserted the nozzle.
Perhaps she feared that I had taken a wrong turn, or might take one. We had never spoken about it. In any case, she had sown a seed that sprouted later in my early twenties.
