Expulsion changes

In my mid eighties, having been an enema lover since age seven, I find that expulsion is not the explosive fountain it use to be but a drawn out series of less powerful spurts. It this peculiar to me or have others had the same experience ?

Not there yet but with age I am now left with 3 or 4 expulsion and then a few spurts to finish. It is more pronounced with the colon tube which is a slower and longer discharge. Either way still love my enema and better when shared.

@shredder: Curious, along with less powerful expulsion, are the cramps less? My expulsions have always been proportional to the intensity of my cramps.

For me, the strength of the expulsion depends on the enema volume, what any additives were put into it, the retention time, amount of cramping, and strength of urge before release.

Mostly, these days, I'm interested in a warm, comfortable enema to soften, lubricate, and help me poo easily and without straining, so use plain warm water, given slowly, with the bag held low, and I poo as soon a reasonable urge is felt.

However, awhile ago, I got a Lactulose and saline enema for not pooing after surgery. I was told to retain the solution for at least a half hour, but didn't make it. The cramping and urges completely overcame my resolve to hold it.. The results could best described as explosive and I emptied loads within seconds…. and continued to poo more, urgently, at intervals for hours thereafter.

I looked up Lactulose; having never heard of it. Interesting it's use to remove ammonia from the blood. Here what I found on the web:

Lactulose is a synthetic sugar used to treat constipation. It is broken down in the colon into products that pull water out from the body and into the colon. This water softens stools. Lactulose is also used to reduce the amount of ammonia in the blood of patients with liver disease. It works by drawing ammonia from the blood into the colon where it is removed from the body.

Very seldom if ever do I get cramps: even with repeat 2-3 quart soapy refills.

For me, the strength of the expulsion depends on the enema volume, what any additives were put into it, the retention time, amount of cramping, and strength of urge before release.

I agree with Sean on this one. I’m 69.5+, enemas since age 15. No change in expulsion dynamics, just extremely variable depending on volume, solution, amount of cramping or compelling low rectal urges before release and whether I orgasmed during the filling or hold or waited to orgasm while expelling. As my enemas are overwhelmingly for enjoyment and orgasm stimulation, my goals are usually a nice large to very large fill, long retention (4-5 quarts for 30-60 min), minimal cramping or expulsion urges, and enjoyment also of taking it as a sub from my Domme partner GF. Perhaps in another 10-15 years when I’m up in the OP’s age range, I might see some expulsion changes.

I have been getting and taking enemas since I was 4. Over the years, the explosiveness of the expulsions has gradually decreased. Now, I frequently retain a little water high in the colon if I use a 1.5 to 2 liter tap water enema for constipation relief. The time on the toilet has increased and the results occur in fits and starts. Adding soap or docusate sodium to the water increases the intensity of the results and decreases the amount of time on the toilet. Still, the initial gush is nothing close to what it was when I was a kid.

It usually depends upon the type of enema and other factors. If I am on my stomach or on my knees for a deep enema, I expel in a series of spurts and then a large drop. If I get one on my back, it is usually explosive and quick. However, if I cum during the enema we are back to the spurt/drop.

Interesting… I have never really thought about it before and have been doing enemas for over 40 years. Great question!

As one becomes “not so young”. don't muscles lose some of their strength? It would seem that colon muscles - like any other muscle - will lose some of it strength over time and just not work as well as it used to. Urinary incontinence or leaking is often due to lose of bladder muscle control and there are exercises one can due to strengthen those muscles. I don't know if anything can be done for strengthening the colon muscle - maybe repeated enemas helps exercise the colon!!! Instead of “Boot Camp” maybe a “Colon Poop Camp” to help increase elimination!!

PS - I have ZERO medical background.

I have noticed maybe I have moved to longer expels over the years but there are other factors involved for the more drawn out expels. First if you let the enema rise high up into your colon by laying on your back or by elevating your hips, it will take longer drain back down to your rectum which will result in spurt expels.

The enema recipe plays a big role in how it influences expels. I have noticed soap enemas will give you more large gush expels since they cause peristalsis. Tap water enemas are more of a spurt expel since some of the water is absorbed and just doesn't seem to want to come out. In contrast, saline enemas (sea salt, baking soda) are not absorbed and will be easier to expel and will give you more gushes vs. non salt enemas.

I think most here on zity are giving themselves enemas for erotic pleasure- me included. I always give myself plenty of time to expel my enemas and let it happen naturally which makes it more pleasurable. So expels that are gushes or just spurts really are all good for me.

My sub doesn't expel quite as hard and fast as he used to. It is usually a trickle, after maybe a big first gush. It just means he sits longer on the potty while thinking about his recent enema experience.

LOL, EVERYTHING is slower at my mid 70's age. Not just expulsions.

Like most here, I’ve been given or given myself enemas for seventy years. From single digits into my late thirties or early forties expulsions were relatively quick. I’m using a two quart enema with one teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of baking soda per quart of warm water as my reference. For example: As teenagers, when my siblings an I were doing enemas three or four times a week, our expulsions times were relatively short. By my mid thirties it took a little longer and by my mid fifties long still. Now in my mid seventies it depends on the mood of my colon. Sometimes it takes longer than it does others, but the shortest time now is at least twice as long as it was when I was a teenager or young adult.

Now older it takes longer to expel most of the contents. Lately I have learned what I should do to ensure that I vacate almost all. I try to place the balls of my feet close to being in line with my head/spine/butt and start to stand but only slightly, then I suck my gut in and clamp my butt hole tight. Sit back down and see if there is anything if not then give a little push. If nothing then I will stand up while standing over the bowl and squeeze my butt checks together really hard while I suck in my belly. I get good results doing these two things.

A most interesting topic. And here I thought (again) that I was the only one. Glad to hear that “residual” is fairly common as we age. I usually take a shower immediately after a morning enema and it's not unusual to experience some leakage that is easily washed away with the shower hose. I've started to wear a pull-up for about an hour after the shower, just to be on the safe side. For me, the residual can arrive fairly quickly and when coupled with my weak sphincter there just isn't enough time to get to the bathroom. It doesn't happen all the time, but it never hurts to be prepared.

I'm 32 and I've been using enemas in some form or another for 22 years. I've always been a fan of trying to take as much as I can hold, and with that much water it's bound to find its way out one way or another. I still have explosive expulsions when first releasing, but over the years I've gotten more aware of how to position myself to release more easily. Certain postures and bending at the waist can help coax it out, and I've learned which areas of my belly to massage to work the water through. If I get really “stuck” with an enema that for some reason refuses to come out, that's just when I top it off with more water until it does stimulate a release.

I think positions can help and what type of enema and volume all have something to do with it. I wouldn't be surprised if your colon loses elasticity and muscle as you age. Let's face it, is sucks to get old!

Everything about us changes as we age!!

I’m 66 and had been taking or given enemas most of my life and so far the expulsion is still explosive, I purposely hold back until some what empty and control the release.
