I sure do enjoy what many consider large volume enemas. 3-4 quarts, after a very thorough cleanout series (because of my GI issues, including gastroparesis and a very lazy colon, in this particular case, a series is whatever number of enemas I need to be as clean as possible, sometimes a couple of 3H, or very soapy Dr. Bronner’s and hot salty water ones, but more likely 3-5 smaller ones held for a few minutes, followed by either really good cramps or the dreaded dribbles) are not infrequent. I have been able to take even a little bit more when I have had to do preps for colonoscopies or barium enemas, maybe even 4 1/2 quarts. I’m also 5’3” and 100 lb or so, so 3-4 quarts is, feels and looks like a VERY large amount of fluid to hold in my tummy.
I couldn’t agree more with those who say that it’s not a competition and that you can have a perfectly effective enema without taking half of what I do. I do what I do for a number of reasons:
1) I will be the first one to admit that I have a strong pregnancy fetish. I made the decision not to have kids a long time ago because some of my health issues are genetic and hereditary and I would never want to pass them to a child, but my fascination with pregnancy, a distended stomach that looks like 7-8 months pregnant, and the the desperate need to “push” everything out have all remained ingrained in me. A 4 quart enema will make me feel like my tummy is being stretched to its fullest. The release is phenomenal.
2) From a health standpoint, large volume enemas make the various preps more interesting/bearable (I have asked my GI doctor if it was okay to do it and researched the topic at length on my own, too). have to have frequent tests that require a bowel prep and I positively hate it. I follow the instructions of my doctors to the letter and take it very seriously but the feeling of being full of miralax, Gatorade zero combined with the cramps of 4-5 dulcolax tablets and wait for the inevitable to start is a stage of said prep that I prefer to keep as short as possible. Large, hot and soapy enemas (messy and rough, too) will speed things along. I wait for the meds to kick in a little and I start taking the largest amounts of soapy water I can handle and hold them until I can’t hold them anymore (at this point, my body wants everything out and it won’t take very long for me to expel whatever needs to come out or explode all over the bathroom, which I really don’t enjoy doing). A few of these enemas repeated for the two days that my preps last are brutal but do make me feel better and less nauseous than the prep alone. If I am feeling stoic, I may be able to masturbate and manage to have some pretty intense orgasms, too.
3) My GI tract is almost always very tight and tense. Large amounts of very warm enema solution will “stretch” it into relaxing after the initial struggle, which is not usually a fun experience. The results, from being able to find relief from bloating, constipation, cramps all the way to no longer having the obnoxious sensation of being full and backed up at once, are well worth it.
This is why I enjoy and take large volume enemas. It’s what works for me and I have discussed it with my doctor(s) over the years and received the thumbs up.
Please play safe,
