Enemas were once more of a woman's thing?

When I really think about it, my fate of all the enemas I received lay entirely in the hands of women. All my buddies were also enemaed exclusively by their mothers, if they thought it was necessary.

And that accompanied me throughout my entire life up to this point; mom, one of my former girlfriend and now my wife.

Where would we be without these wonderful female creatures? ...definitely nothing...😎

Who buys more Fleet-type enemas, women or men? Anecdotal results obviously, but at the neighborhood pharmacy where my family has been going for years, Anna the pharmacist says women buy the enemas about three-fourths of the time.

The statement by the pharmacist is in line with what my colon hydro therapist told me a number of years ago. In conversations I had with her over four or five years, I learned that two thirds to three fourths of her clients were female. Of those, almost all gave themselves enemas at home and more than half gave their kids enemas. Then, of the group that gave their kids enemas, a number of those brought their older kids in for a colonic.

When my siblings and I were growing up, enemas were the realm of females. Our grandmother was a retired Registered Nurse and a firm believer in enemas for both kids and adults alike. To that end, she taught her daughters how to give enemas as preteens. Then they were responsible for the younger ones, like my siblings and me.

The same was also true for our friends, like us, they were taught personal hygiene as they began their preteens by their mom or grandmother. Afterwards, like us, they were expected to take of themselves when it came to enemas.

My point is, both boys and girls were giving and taught how to give themselves enemas by females. Then along with enemas, girls were also taught how to give themselves a douche. Again, by either their mom or grandmother.

When I grew up enemas were more of a woman thing and the woman of that time didn’t hesitate to use them on their children. It created a entire generation of baby boomers that grew to like enemas for health and sexual pleasure. Other children my age then would talk about getting enemas from their mothers and they either liked them, didn’t care if mom gave them an enema or hated them. Overall women tend to discuss enema use with other women more than men do, at least from my experience in listening in on women having conversations with other women. When I was young my hearing was extremely good.

My siblings and I had the same experience growing up that you did, and like you, we also had extremely good hearing. Some of the conversations we overheard were very interesting and informative. When it came to enemas or spankings, moms told other moms everything, nothing was private. Plus, our grandmother was a retired Registered Nurse and a firm believer in enemas for both kids and adults. And taught all her daughters, as preteens, how to care for and give enemas to children. Then gave moms two younger sisters, the responsibility of doing our evening bath, including enemas and the occasionally spanking. Around nine or ten, we began to put together the feelings we received from enemas with those that were beginning to awaking in our groin. By that I mean, the relationship between enemas and our awakening sexuality. Then, once we reached our preteens, grandma taught us personal hygiene and enemas became our responsibility. Once that happened, we were able to explore the connection between enemas and sexuality in ways we couldn’t previously.

@Vicki_V Maybe the pharmacist is seeing more women buying the Fleet-type enemas because the women are the caregivers. The one making sure that health care needs are met and supplies for doing that are on hand. It is my job for my sub and my family, when they were living under our roof.
