Make enemas great again...

We are not a lot of enemas enthusiat and unfortunately rather old so its time now

Why not?

It's a rather erotic yet beautiful procedure. It opens up a wide range of emotions. It may be loved, it may be hated, but at least it evokes some feelings! And that's great.

After all, what does it mean to be forgotten? Not to mention, to forget, not to reproduce and not to cultivate. Let's popularize the enema together!

Make enemas great again.... I don't see why not. I doubt they would come back to the popularity of the 1950's, '60, or '70 But honestly I'd like to walk into a Walgreens, CVS or Walmart and see a display of enemas and bulbs like in the good old days. But sure nough I'd probably walk out with an erection that wouldn't go away 🤗 🏳️‍🌈 😎 🤠 LoL

I don’t know how great enemas will be again but I do wish I could walk into a pharmacy and have a selection of bags, bulbs and buckets available to choose from as well as a good selection of nozzles and colon tubes of various lengths and diameters. And while we’re at it, I wish it was easier to find colonic clinics that would cater to enema enthusiasts as well as offer wonderfully satisfying colonics.

A better movement!!

MEGA

I’ll try to keep my politic opinions out of this but with a title like “make enemas great again” it will be difficult.

Didn’t know enemas weren’t great all along. Guess we could makes enemas GREATER. Having a forum like zity helps the improvement process in more ways the we can count. Just hope it won’t be outlawed by he who shall remain nameless.

Keep it flowing,

As long as it will not reappear, or at least regain some values in day-to-day medicine as well as at home as it was before, there is not much hope, I guess. It will remain a kind of kink, fetish or you name it, available for the enthusiasts like we, here in zity. Once the community can break out from the self-made barriers we may have a chance, however experience shows it will not come tomorrow.

I done know. There are a lot of 20 somethings I know that enjoy a bag full up their arses. Some for constipation, all for pleasure. I shop for erotic nozzles and soaps with them. Before anyone asks. Some of us share the experience.

Honestly there has been a rebirth of enemas in both the health and sexual aspects. Once someone has that first pleasurable enema, they usually want to explore all different ways of taking them.

I think the original title was a play on words. Enemas are (nearly) always great. The intent was probably 'Make Enemas Popular Again'. To that end, everyone here on Zity is doing our part to encourage others, especially younger folks, to join in appreciation and pleasure that enemas provide.

Enemas never stopped being great, at least not for me. It is unfortunate that the popularity of enemas is not what it once was. They don't know what they are missing.

I saw this thread and just had to comment...

In the past year I've met quite a few young ladies in their 20's. Most thru a young RN that goes to my local gym. The common thread among them is anal sex. It seems that young ladies are eager to experience the powerful O' that can be had from anal. Enemas are just part of having a clean playground and most find it pleasurable. As far as equipment goes there is tons of enema equipment on Amazon these days you can even buy a butt plug at Walmart. Enemas are alive an well in RI at least.

Enemas were at their peak during the days that mom as well as grandma established their place in the family household and the health care industry had enemas as the staple of hospital stays no matter what the ailment. Rigid adherence to a strict enema regimen was the norm. To make enemas reappear this way again in society would require time travel back to the good old days...... michael https://en.zity.biz/gallery/image/212297

Seems the ones I taken have always been great. Most of the stories here seem to have a pretty common thread that we discovered enemas pretty early in life but kept them a secret for some number of years because we thought we were a lone pervert in the world. I'm guessing that the same may be happening today. Certainly we see fewer displays of equipment at retail these days though I'm not sure why since other sex toys have found a place in the family style market places. Every Walmart used to have that $4.96 Cara combo outfit you could pick up for an evenings use if you happened to be without your hardware on a trip. Better yet you could pick one up for a newbie and send it home with them.

Just as society has evolved over the years, so has enema usage.

When enemas were commonplace in the post WW11 era, home remedies were at the forefront in treating minor sickness, colds, constipation etc. They were often seen as the go to solution to make one feel better. As time marched on and big pharma evolved into a mega giant, they offered easy affordable OTC pill solutions for every type of ailment. Now someone could treat themselves with OTC and hold off going to a doctor. Home remedies got replaced by the big pharma OTC solutions.

So, where did that leave enemas. They faded into the background but didn't disappear.

As the Internet and porn grew, free access became available to all kinds of sexual behavior and information about every kind of fetish under the sun. People are curious, and when they are, some want to try new things. Enemas were out there in the Internet jungle, and they have been discovered by many (probably millions) of people. Their entry point to enemas could be to prep for anal sex which is now very common. Or for medical and health reasons, e.g., constipation and gut health. BDSM included enemas as part of the torture play. Medfet became a fetish, and enemas are part of that scene. And of course, people who are anal erotic and include enemas as one of their favorite ways to induce sexual pleasure.

A while back I found and economic study on enema equipment sales and the projection was clearly rising. Enemas have evolved from hanging on the back of bathroom doors in "The Golden Age 40's to 1970's) to residing in a whole myriad fetish silos today. While enema equipment has been removed from the shelves of retail stores, they have been relocated to the retailers' online store sites. Amazon has pages of enema equipment including fetish nozzles.

Enemas never left and went away. And people are discovering they are great for lots of reasons.

Visited about three drug stores yesterday looking for some oral pain meds. Unable to find what I was looking for but couldn't help but visit the laxative and feminine hygiene isle. Not a single enema bag, refillable syringe, nothing. Some had some small fleets, other places had larger packages of fleets. Even found some packages of douches but no enema bags. For a good enema am forced to go to the internet net. Amazon has everything, but still can't find the med, orabase I was looking for.

They did have butt plugs and vibrators in a locked case.

My grandmother and mother felt that enemas were the prevent all/cure all for what ails you including correcting a bad attitude. Hence I grew up on two enemas per week (Wednesday afternoon and Saturday evening) plus an occasional bonus one. Although medical science and likely big pharma would deny any benefits from the use of enemas, they seemed to work in my case as I have hardly ever been sick in life so far despite being exposed to contagious diseases that others have suffered with. Enemas of course have other well known and liked "side effects" (pleasurable ones) and are useful in attitdue adjustment situtations. That being said, someone should come out with a ball cap labeled "MEGA" and have an outline of an enema bag and hose embroided on it too!! lol. Denise

Love your MEGA hat idea @Denise . Unlike its predecessor, people from Canada and other countries could wear them. If you could find a way, via social media, to popularize them with the younger crowd they might very well contribute to a global resurgence in enema popularity. And @Denise you might become rich selling your patented creations.LOL

@Denise Love the ball cap idea!!

@hoseman1 I always look for bags when I’m in the drugstore. More often than not I find them in either the feminine products area or where you’d expect to find hot water bottles.

@Denise i love the idea and perhaps the new US secretary of health and human services RFK Jr is the right person to reintroduce enemas as the cure-all for most ailments. Definitely needs hats and t-shirts!

I am old enough to remember the time when the local drugstore had several different enema bags and bulbs to choose from but you had to slink into an “adult bookstore” to get a vibrator or butt plug. Now, if you can find an enema bag at CVS or Walgreens there will be only one poor quality combination douche/enema set in the feminine hygiene aisle, but they have a selection of vibrators, butt plugs and other toys on the shelf. Yes, the good ones have the anti- theft devices on the box that a clerk has to remove.

I would totally join make enema great again club....

but sadly there are many reasons why enemas lost their popularity

One of them is that modern medicine sees not much value from enemas, only in some very specific case, over-wise only natural health magazines and articles would promote enema use for health reasons, but such publication would not be very favorably looked by so called mainstream medical community.

So enemas only mainly used by people who simply love it, who have medical conditions, such as constipation, some of us who love the sensations coming while giving or taking enemas, or perhaps as anal sex preparation.

I continue to wonder if the marked increase in colorectal cancer among younger people isn't due in part to the decline in enema usage in the home when the kids were growing up. I'm sure the "modern" diet also plays a part, but all that ultra-processed food sitting around in the colon for days can't be a good thing.

@Denise said,

My grandmother and mother felt that enemas were the prevent all/cure all for what ails you including correcting a bad attitude. Hence I grew up on two enemas per week (Wednesday afternoon and Saturday evening) plus an occasional bonus one.

When my siblings and I were growing up in the nineteen fifties, we normally received enemas two or three a month during the school year. Tho, we did receive enemas on a weekly basis when warranted, because we didn’t like using the bathrooms at school, we waited until we got home. Hence, part of our constipation issues. During summer vacation, when we spent a lot of time at our grandmothers, we normally received enemas on a weekly basis. However, depending on circumstances, it could be twice a week, sometimes more. Getting enemas for constipation, being moody, having a headache, or daily enemas when we were sick in bed. The last reason listed, being true at home and grandmas.

Starting at an early age, we got our temperatures taken rectally or checked for constipation with a Vaseline covered index finger buried deep inside moving around. Something we really didn’t mind or fuss about, because it felt good. On top of that, my siblings and I were anal erotic, making me wonder if rectal temperatures and being checking for constipation didn’t have something to do with us being anal erotic. So, by the time I recall getting my first enema, I already liked them, and so did my siblings.

In our family, as kids reached their preteens. Our grandmother, a retired registered nurse, taught us personal hygiene and enemas became our responsibility. Afterwards, the older kids got the responsibility of taking care of the younger ones. For example: Moms two younger sisters took care of us when we were little. Giving them practical experience taking care of children, including enemas and occasionally spankings, among other things. In our case, both girls not only like getting but giving enemas. And being more like siblings than aunts, the girls not only gave us but themselves enemas. As we got older, they started allowing us to help give each other enemas. Something we liked doing as much as they did. But also, something grandma was aware of, having overheard her telling her daughters what to teaching us about enemas. Telling them how to handle certain things like, which nozzle to use, how much volume to give us, what position to put us in, or when to let us start giving enemas to others.

Finally, as preteens then teenagers on our own, we didn’t think twice about giving one another enemas when needed or wanted. By the time we were young adults, the pattern of getting and giving enemas, had been pretty much set.

I would like to see 'Make Enemas Accepted Again'. A recognition that, done moderately they will not hurt you and may just have health benefits. A recognition that they do have a sexual aspect, but in the right circumstances that is quite OK. With what we are now discovering in terms of the 'brain-gut connection' some good prospects re mental health too [I discovered years ago that nothing decompressed me, made me unwind and relax and feel at peace after - than a relaxing enema. Also a recognition that one adult giving another adult an enema could be a quasi-sexual experience that was acceptable.

With the shocking increase in sexless marriages - even pre-pandemic but accelerated further after the plague of 2020 and beyond - enemas could provide some expansion of self-pleasure and permissible other pleasure. Maybe the couple no longer has sex, but would give each other intimacy through giving / receiving enemas? Maybe a wife would allow her hubby to have a married male enemate? Maybe hubby allows wife to have a married female enamate. And on and on.

Remembering...When I was first exposed to the internet, I still had to use Unix to access it (great system, btw), and I discovered newsgroups, and then, alt.sex.enemas. there were quite a few posters in that group, and I imagine some are here today. I joined a local fetish/bdsm group, and quickly discovered that enemas, my main fetish, was unimportant to all of the members. This was really disheartening, because I seriously wanted a girl to play with. As many of you know, I was in SoCal, not exactly a superconservative area at the time. Still no enemas. A few folk in LA and San Francisco...more in the gay community (I'm straight), but mostly spread out, a lot more on the east coast, quite a few here in Arizona. Then came Beth Tyler, (Tyler was earlier) Enemarotica and Stonefox, and there were apparently a lot more E-people than I ever though, but still no connection. Then YouTube began posting alternative medical material, which included enemas. Then the predecessors to Zity showed up, too many to mention, and women finally began to advocate for their old friend, the nenma bag. Now we are at the point where enemas seem to be making a recovery. Fleet enemas are sold in these huge packages at Costco, I can order enema supplies (and sometimes find them) at Walmart (I don't, their stuff is trash), and the YouTube videos are many and varied, with enemas now taking up significant space, hosted a LOT by young women, who always claim they take them for health reasons (🤣🤣🤣🤣), men who claim the same (🤣🤣🤣🤣), and so forth. Enemas have not yet re-achieved their mainstream status, but it certainly much better than in the 1990's, when they were almost not on the radar.

When the medical community rejected them as a legitimate treatment, and the Fleet company advertised their tiny, only somewhat useful alternative to real (2 qt.+) enemas as a time and money saver, enemas seemed to disappear. They never did, but they did go underground. Time was, if you were a girl, and went for a pelvic exam, you either were instructed to take a cleansing enema, or the nurse gave you one in the doctor's office. Men? Urology appointments. Prostate exams. Hospitals? If you were there for any length of time, you got enough enemas to drown you. By contrast, when I went in for my bowel obstruction, they gave me Miralax, which hugely disappointed me. Some of the nurses (all of them, actually) were really pretty. I had to have surgery, because the obstruction turned into a perforation after I was admitted, so it was OK, but DANG! No enemas from pretty nurses. I suspect that as natural healing comes more and more to the forefront, enemas will once again take hold in the mainstream. They work, they are a bit time consuming, they feel good, they are erotic (now as noted by anal devotees, bdsm coaches and diaper lovers), and all around fun to give and get. I am at the moment recovering from a 2 qt. Enema which I just took as part of an effort to control my LAR Syndrome after the surgeries. The manufacturers of the equipment for this have actually given the procedure a name, "Trans anal irrigation," and it's touted as a great thing for those of us who have multiple explosive bowel movements a day. What they really are, is enemas. Welcome back, my old friend...(Kristina Amelong has an excellent article on LARS on her Optimal Health Network website). Thanks for reading...

If you check out Estate Sale Ads and visit the sales you will find the days of enema equipment in every home is gone in the USA. May find a Fleet in the house formerly occupied by a senior citizen. Very seldom. But could be wrong. The kids take everything they want before the Estate Sale.

Always done enemas since I was little, I was born in 1982 and here in Italy they were practiced often. Now less but you can commonly find bulbs and bags for enemas in pharmacies

I became a klismo at age 5 when a nurse gave me my first remembered enema while in hospital for tonsillectomy. I say first remembered as I've posted elsewhere that my older sister Tess told me when I told her about my hospital experience "I saw mom give you enemas with the red squeeze thing in your butt when you were little". I don't remember those but Tess knew what she was talking about as we shared enemas until she reached puberty. Now for the reason I'm posting here. I've often wondered even when young and mom was giving me enemas if anyone else liked them too, as Tess and I both enjoyed them. And how many others who did enjoy them kept the secret for fear of being ridiculed either by family, friends, or even mom? Your thoughts on that??

@hoseman1

I've found combination sets in Wallgreens, but in store you have to ask for them. Almost all Wallgreens have them and they are listed on the websites but you need to search for enema bags. They are listed for pickup in one hour. https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-douche,-enema-and-water-bottle-combination-system/ID=prod17207-product
