Is this a fetish for "mature" tastes????

Not certain if this posting is in correct section....didn't see related material anywhere...

I'm new to this enema world. I've noticed the age of many men are 50+. I'm late 30's and hoping my first enema partner will indeed be mature in desire, experience, age is indifferent really. Does this indicate that this is a "fetish" that generally develops as we mature? Is it a mature sexuality/confidence that encourages this horizon? Not sure. Just curious about what brings us to this place. For me I think it's both maturity & graduation into a different form of BDSM.

Interested in hearing if you share the same thought.

As a "mature" enemate, I grew up in the 50's. It was a time when enemas were the prevelant form of relief from constipation and other ailments. Many used enemas believing that occasional "cleaning out" contibuted to a healthy lifestyle. There was a period of time that seemed our family enema equipment never really had time to dry out fully before someone else needed to be cleaned out. Enemas that I was given as a youngster introduced me to a connection between anal/rectal activities and enjoyable erotic feelings. Even before I reached puberty, I could achieve a dry orgasm (had no idea what it was at the time) as my mother skillfully administered the bulb enema. As I grew older the enema became the centerpiece of my masturbation activities.

For me the enema is an intimate erotic activity that, when shared with a like-minded partner, provides mutually satisfying sexual release. I also believe that regular enemas are beneficial to overall good health.

Asha:

The reason I believe that you see the apparent 'agedness' of us male enema enthusiasts here in Zity is that in North America when we were young, enemas were a common household remedy; which then diminished when the Health Profession (particularly family Doctors) stopped advocating them (around 1960 1970). Some people attribute this shift to a lobbying effort on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry (who don't make a dime when you take a warm water enema, but have made millions, nay even billions selling various remedies (laxatives, suppositories, even pre-built enemas) for 'digestive problems' 😄 ). To confirm this, check out the number of shelves of these things at your local pharmacy. A person under 30 in North America nowadays is not likely to have had enemas from their parents while growing up. I know that it still happens to some; some of those people are here with us. And some of the young have discovered the advantages of enemas, either on their own, or from others they know. But generally, a child does not normally get an extensive home exposure. Those of us who have been through it and have grown beyond being embarrassed to mention or discuss it gather here to chat about old times with others who have had similar experiences . I think it is the best site I have encountered for this purpose. You will find that many here of advanced age (such as myself) had a very extensive introduction to them at home when we were young. You will also find (but not likely here) that there are a lot of people of any age who are either completely ignorant of enemas, or dead set against them. Enemas are not something that I grew into, they are something I grew up with 😄 . As children, a lot of us did not like them, but as we grew up, a lot of us came to appreciate and enjoy them. They are healthy for you, and can be quite enjoyable, and as such are an excellent recreation. You are unlikely to get a concussion, get pregnant, or wreck your health, as can happen with other recreational activities.

I hope that you find what you want to know. Lots of people here are willing to share information.

May your waters run warm and true.

I never got an enema as a child that I can remember. But I do remember sneaking off to read the section on constipation remedies in my mom's "parent's encyclopedia" and feeling a curious tingly feeling in certain parts of my body. I was probably 10 or so at the time.

I do think that maturity is a factor in my case though. It was just a dirty little secret that I wouldn't dream of telling anyone or acting on until I was in my mid 30's.

Interesting & thank you for your input & offering insight.

The generations experiencing enemas as part of "routine health maintenance" were indeed different from mine, explains the comfort & maturity levels/experience I am seeing with the 50+ members.

I really like what Cos mentioned about them (enemas) cast aside by the FDA & pharmeceutical companies trading them in for a pretty pill. It's a shame, because eroticism aside, they are very efficient & helpful for regular health maintenance.

Just look at how many ads etc we see regarding Fiber intake and intestinal health issues.

Maybe the cereal companies should start including enema nozzles as perks in their Bran Buds, lol.

Maybe I'll start a new "movement" in Canada.

It's so nice to see that there are some newer posters with enema interests. COS & Redbulb covered the issue quite well as the interest may be more common in men of a certain age. I am 58 and have had a keen interest in enemas for more than 50 years. Enemas were the most common treatment in my home as a youngster. A small amount of warm water, and an occasional additive of soap, seemed to be the cure all for just about any malady.

Most medical or homemaking texts in the first half of the 20th Century seemed to advocate for clearing the bowels as an adjunct to solving various medical problems. Hospital stays almost always included an enema as part of a preparation or before release.

Perhaps my fetish initially developed as part of a survival instinct. I was embarrassed to death to receive an enema and tried valiantly to fight off those unwanted ministrations. Eventually, I realized that it was useless to fight the inevitable and learned to enjoy the relief at hand. An earllier than usual development into puberty, and I was hooked for life.

I knew the women around me; mom, grandma, and my sisters, were well aquainted with fountain syringes, nozzles, and douching equipment. I was likely a bit jealous at the acceptability to employ or use those wonderful instruments that I came to have such a passion for.

I have overcome most of the emabarrassment factors and relish any opportunity to discuss or engage in open practice of this simple pleasure. I hope all of you find comfort and extreme pleasure in using this age old procedure.

Yes, there are many more of us who are, shall we say 'mature'. I am 53 and old enough to recall when enemas were very common but I also saw the decline in their use for the general population. What might be a factor in the late resurgence is that many people have a dormant interest in anal and or enemas. They go through life, hook up, get married and that is the sex life they are stuck with. As they get divorced and start dating again they encounter someone who turns them on to enemas/anal and a 'newbie' is born but at the ripe age of early 40's on. I know I responsible for kick starting a few and I wasn't that heavy of a dater.

I have enjoyed enemas all my life. I gave myself my first enema when I was eight years old, never having been given one for any medical purpose by my parents or any medical personnel.

To this day, every enema I have ever had has been for the fun, sometimes pain, or pleasure of it.

I think enemas appeal more to "mature" people for two reasons:

First - the older you are the more likely you were exposed to enemas at home growing up.

Second - Once your kids leave home you have the time and privacy you need for this type of play. Can you remember when your kids were little? Hardly time for regular sex, and certainly not the time and privacy for a good enema and accompanying play time, whether solo or as a couple.

I've enjoyed enemas since my early teens. I'm 28 now. I was given enemas as a child because I had and still have some problems with my stomach.

As a lot of you already have pointed out it's not as common today to use enemas as it was 50 years ago and I think that is a big reason. A lot of people my age have not even had the chance to be introduced to this wonderful fetish 😉

I got interested in enemas in my 40's, not sure why. But at the time, I gave it a try, and found them to be very exciting. My enjoyment has increased with time, and it's something you can enjoy over and over, stiff, or soft!

I think that it's only natural that those of us in this age bracket would have developed this interest because we were exposed to them in our youth. An enema was a cure all for our parents' generation. That's not the case today. Those of a later time don't know what their missing.

I think my tast can be called a mature lifstyle. 69 at the moment. My enema experiens have been more and more rafined during time. I am seeking speciel good feelings.And I like the sensation better and better. I think I can`t live without enemas. They are a part of my life. I am much more free to tell about it to friends and family now than before. Very interesting. When I was a boy and much later on in my life, it was my most seecret part of privatsy. But I do not tell about it in all situations, og course. I have seen many very bad reaktions, and you can loose friens because of this. I take it very carefully.

Enemas mean a lot of different things to me at different times. Mostly I love the feel of the enema and I love every thing about them .. but as I grow older and life begins to take away rather than give .. enemas are something that keep me connected to more youthful days and are an intimate connection with the past.

I can certainly identify with the points made by Royal Flush.

I was introduced to enemas as a child like many here, but after marriage and two kids my enemas became infrequent and often rushed to the point that they were not enjoyed. Anybody with little kids in the house knows what I mean. There was the rare opportunity when my husband took the kids to a movie or something and I had a couple of hours for a relaxing enema, but more often the were rushed or missed completely.

There is the risk of being caught by your kids. A story for another day.

Now that the kids are gone and I am a "mature" woman I finally have time to take an enema when I want and for as long as I want. People ask me if I am lonely now that the kids are gone. Hell No! I love it.

I think it may be something that comes with maturity. As a male, I have discovered that my sexuality is not just centred in my penis - it is something centred in the mind, with many parts of the body potential avenues for exploration. My interest in enemas started in my early 40s when I experienced my first failure to get erect on command.
