When enema relief is more emotional than physical

Ladies especially (although guys, too), do you ever feel that taking an enema is for your mental and emotional needs more than for some physical condition? I'll venture that you have; love to hear your experience.

Sometimes I've felt such an emotional catharsis while expelling an enema that I let loose and cried. It's happened, and made it made a huge difference in how I was feeling. I felt myself again.

When my siblings and I were growing up in the nineteen fifties, if mom, grandma, or our aunts noticed we were acting moody, they’d give us an enema. After getting a spanking, they gave us an enema to help calm down. With mom or our aunts, we didn’t get a choice, we got an enema wanted or not. However, with grandma, she always gave us a choice. We could either except or refuse her offer, and the funny thing is, I don’t recall any of us ever turning her down.

Years later, as teenagers, when enemas were our responsibility. My siblings and I gave one another enemas for a variety of reasons. For example: If my brother or I were upset about something, and needed help to calm down. We’d ask our sister to give us an enema, and we did likewise for her. The enemas we gave each other under those circumstances, took our minds off whatever was troubling us, redirecting our thoughts to the douche nozzle slowly moving around as a two-quart soapy or rinse enema filled our belly.

After I was married in my twenties. My wife and I used enemas, much like my siblings and I did, for a variety of different reasons. Then, once we had kids, like mom, grandma, and our aunts. We gave our kids enemas, for basically the same reasons they gave us enemas.

Never thought of that but actually thinking of how I feel after a good enema it makes perfect sense.

When my girlfriend sees that I am stressed out, she prepares an herbal enema and tells me to lie on my left side. She lubes my anus gently massaging it, then inserts a douche nozzle and starts syringing me as I turn on my back masturbating me by varying the squirts from the Higgenson bulb attached to a very full clear plastic enema bag. Once the bag is empty and I am full, she continues masturbating me with any of her wonderful vibrators. We use a large bedpan so I can start expelling as I cum.

Never actually thought about that but all I can say is that sometimes a good, large and soothing enema can ease my mind off. No anxiety, no thoughts, just the water and myself. Feeling extremely relieved when done expelling is also a mental relief, especially if I've built up stress and I've held the enema until the very last minute. I guess that's a cathartic experience too

Enemas indeed sometimes can help during heavy days

It was the nurse in her late 60s at my GI doctor's office who told me about this. In the "old days" she used to give enemas to prep patients for surgeries. A lot of her patients were anxious and even scared of the enemas, but afterwards they were much calmer.

Yes, definitely (and I'm a guy). I recall several times when I had an enema in the evening before bedtime after hearing sad news earlier in the day that a loved one died unexpectedly. When I moved to a new city many years ago, I felt very lonely, especially on Sundays after attending religious services - I missed my friends from the faith community I left, so I often had an enema on Sunday afternoons. Other times I felt a general sense of mild depression or sadness and had an enema. Once in a while I cry during an enema and that especially feels cathartic. While an enema doesn't feel as erotic to me as it used to, in all of these circumstances an enema always feels emotionally comforting and lifts my spirits.

I suppose the sensations that come with expelling feel like I'm letting go of emotional waste - negative feelings like sadness, guilt, regrets and loneliness. Related to these feelings is that my first regular phone girl (as in my being a regular caller), after hearing my "confession" and my feelings of guilt and shame, would encourage me to think of the enema as a cleansing ritual to help me let go of those feelings as a step toward forgiving myself. I know it took time and it helped.

I'd say 75% of the enemas I got was for what mom called crankiness or out of sorts. Of course she would bring this up when at the store or other outing with her friends. What kid wants to go shopping all day and not get bored ? This in most cases, assured I would get one once home.

Unlike enemas when sick, they were given fast and with cool water which caused quick discomfort and urge to immediately expel. i will admmit that after getting one, i felt calmer and relaxed.

That is an excellent question, after my first ever enema i experienced overwhelming relief, it was so much more than I expected, the relief was physical, of course, but the mental clarity surprised me.

As someone who's never had one but is open to the possibility, this topic is interesting. Wondering... is the relief related to the person administering the enema? Does the giver matter in terms of how emotional the experience is?

@GraceT (Does the giver matter in terms of how emotional the experience is?)

We took an anniversary road trip, including enema plans and still like to talk about it. Exchanged love enemas are powerful marriage moments.
