Enemas come in two forms: Erotic and Punishment

Must disagree with the premise of the OP.

In addition to erotic and punishment, there are enemas for health and for simple play or enjoyment without any erotic aspects.

I agree with the three categories. I've never had a punishment enema but it certainly sounds exciting.

Boy butt has a void in my education been filled by these posts. To think that I always thought the only two types of enemas was GOOD and BETTER. What a fool I've been.

I agree with the three basic categories. but if someone wished, they could create many sub categories for each type of enema, such as punishment (uncomfortable, cramping, large volume) humiliating but comfortable, etc. And the list would go on and on, depending on each person's perception of what constitutes a punishment enema. Just an example...

I agree with the post by hospitalcare above. Because of my past experiences I also have an interest in strong, high SSEs given in a no nonsense manner with lengthy required retention periods and the accompanying cramping.

One person's punishment enema is another's erotic enema. Some would say only a gentle, non-cramping enema is erotic whilst others might consider a strong soap enema to be just as erotic, despite it having you doubled over with cramps for the next three hours.

Me, I find the punishment side erotic. Love the idea of being tightly restrained and being force to take and hold large volumes of difficult solutions. Punishment to some, erotic for me!

I have only had sensual enemas. And of course, ones to prepare for anal sex.

I think there are actually 3 kinds. The punishment, erotic (and yes those can be mixed into the erotic punishment enema because let's be honest, there is a big power play theme behind enemas), and then the maintenance enema. The last isn't one a lot of people don't really talk about but those occur when there is a need and not a want, and even though there is not a true difference between the objective facts of the 3 types of enemas (fill bag, insert nozzle, fill up, hold, remove nozzle, expel) the psychology between them is apart.

I believe the first 2 has been debated and almost turned into a dead horse and we all get that. The maintainence one tho is the odd duck. For me, I'll ask and maybe even beg (or do something wrong on purpose) for the other two. Now, because I chronic pain and a wickedly screwed spine, with the pain meds and muscle relaxers, most everyone should know by now how rough they make the go. Asking for an enema or suppositories or any type of help in getting over an actual issue and need of such, that basically strips all the sexuality out of it, and typically, even tho the basis of the process is the same, the need strips the joy out of it. That and the fact that you know there are going to bricks that need to be dissolved to even allow the surge to travel further, its not always the most comfortable thing.

I'd split "maintenance" into acute health and maintenance. I would wait until I needed one and they weren't very fun. Then when I started catching it earlier, after I could tell that things were slowing down but before I absolutely needed one, they became much more pleasant and, yes, even fun while filling the need to keep things moving in my bowels.

Personally I never use an enema or will I ever take an enema as a punishment. Enemas used for other then medicinal reasons are meant to be enjoyed by the person being given it and by the person giving it.

I'm a Dom, so my views on enemas difer from those of others, at least by a bit. Here is my take. Some subs NEED (ie, they want it at the level of need) punishment, and an enema is an outstanding form of punishment. Other choices for punishment are bare bottom spankings, canings, and the like, but none quite equals a large soapsuds enema given with authority and for discipline. I've spanked and paddled submissives hard enough to draw blood without having them leave their "subspace," but when I've turned to the largest enema I can make them take, everything is different. I specifically remember (this was before I found my new wife) paddling one girl, using a riding crop on her so long and hard that I was afraid to go on, getting no reaction at all, BUT when I got out the enema bag (it was no surprise to her, she expected this), she reacted much differently. I made her lie on her side and gave her the full bag. She was literally sobbing during the enema. I was surprised beyond imagination. Everything turned out fine for those who want to know, and the final part of our session involved a lot of cuddling to help her "come down." I have found a similar reality many times, and I have often used enemas as an adjunct or even the main event.

My wife and Ihave a "combo" relationship, meaning that sometimes she is my sub/slavegirl (with everything that means) and sometimes she's my lover/best friend.

Thanks to everyone for being there. Writing now from the free state Arizona rather than Taxifornia...

Dilly Dilly TeriRN!

Agreed with post 66. I've never used a punishment enema but am not surprised that many people would find them erotic.

I actually think there's a third: the disciplinary enema. Much like the maintenance spanking, it's not really foreplay, and not really meant to punish, but rather to reinforce roles, rules, discipline, etc. Not painful or about pain but rather about focus, obedience, love, care, etc., etc. Once upon a time I gave one particular young lady an enema each and every Saturday... never led to anything more but did her a world of good.

Enema erotica is often practiced by those who discovered early that the anus has almost as many nerve endings as the tip of the penis or the clitoris, and that sexual stimulation is enhanced when the rectum is full. Enemas are also considered by some psychologists to be highly symbolic of pregnancy. Note the similarity of penetration, depositing of fluid, increased abdominal volume, possibly some abdominal cramping (labor pains) and expulsion of the enema fluid which is doubly symbolic of both the "waters breaking" and delivery.

Psychologists see symbolism in everything. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Or as Little Annie Fanny once said of pickles: 'they remind me of cucumbers' .... 😃

Well I can't speak at all for psychologists, but as a male pervert, I can definitely say that I enjoy looking at a distended enema belly and think of pregnancy. The belly curves on a slender woman who is pregnant are just SO incredibly sexy!! What could possibly be more feminine that being pregnant?? Nothing, ever!!! Being pregnant is the quintessential 'act' of being female. And I LOVE everything about female bodies and what they do!

Please let me add in: Educational, compassionate training. We always like something new in it, right?

I recently heard of a spouse doing hard labor on in-law's behind, because their "better half" lacked enough compassion to get their hands dirty... "Oh, my!"

Virtually all information medias have their fingers twizziling the brains of their audience's cultural disposition, especially the entertainment industry, never-mind fake news. We are the most propagandized populations in history of the world. Some like to tie enema with corporal punishment. That is sensationalism at work. While both, properly applied, will nurture and cultivate young people, neither, in reality, have anything to do with the other, seriously. We all, say for instance, might like a roller coaster ride on special occasions, but not to the grocery store or to work or school, right. So training should not be a wild ride but something that conveys sincere passionate care and leaves a sense of well being. To this day our children are proud of their parents and have, to some extent, instilled what was given to them on to their children. One got a refresher home enema as desired and easily sought out assistance for further confidence, as necessary. Another had the scent of proper maintenance in the air when we visited their home, causing us pleasure in knowing their ability to communicate good things. Another brought us the first child for confidant guidance in securing gentle cooperation. We need reality much more than entertainment.

Well, just so you hear a dissenting view, I find nothing whatsoever at all about being pregnant attractive or appealing. Yes, it's quintessentially feminine by definition, but aside from that, I find pregnant ladies very off-putting. That hideously swollen belly like an alien might pop out, the tired look on the women's faces, the way that some strut around as if they are Mother Goddesses, those knowing smirks and condescension at the non-pregnant and naturally the utter disdain for all males.

Thank you, but no thank you.

@agracier Wow, that certainly is a dissenting view! If you’ve ever had children, I sure hope you didn’t tell your partner about how unattractive, unappealing, off putting, hideous, and condescending you thought she was!! I can understand not being especially attracted to pregnant women, but it seems like you hate them. They are creating LIFE, give them a break!

And I bet the majority of pregnant women dont have ‘utter distain’ for men... after all they agreed to make a child with one!

Punishment enemas are truly that. They don't stop giving out the punishment until cleansing enemas rid the body of their residue. I've received a number of them and find the cramps erotic compared to the ordeal of trying to expel what is mostly already expelled but feeling full and tortured and inflamed and hardly able to get off the toilet to receive a cleansing enema. That is quite an ordeal and a true punishment.

On pregnancy: it doesn't work as an analogy for me. I don't have any sense of harboring another life or being filled with one. I feel taken over and ballooned out of proportion by a fluid invader that has, of course, many analogies to intercourse and even pregnancy, but I do not at all see expulsion as a form of abortion which, if the analogy worked, be a logical conclusion. It is a great relief though.

Of two forms, I am clearly in favor of the erotic enema, luscious, warm, filling and sexual.

@agracier Wow, that certainly is a dissenting view! If you’ve ever had children,

I know I was being a bit harsh maybe, but also pretty honest when it comes to feelings. Rationally I know those feelings should have no place in my mind, but whatcha gonna do?

We didn't have children, but adopted and first fostered. My wife turned out to have a pre-cancerous womb and it had to be removed when she was 33/34.

I think my aversion to pregnancy comes from my mother. I had to endure the process for my 2 younger siblings and frankly my mother moaned and groaned and cried and sobbed and hated the whole thing, complaining and bitching about so many things, going off on extreme emotions and retreating into her own world of misery. None of this was avoidable, because during the war she had lost a child before I was born. So it was gross anxiety on her part. I didn't know anything about that when I was young. So my mothers pregnant months were a mystery to me and not endearing to share.

Actually I find pregnant women attractive. I think they have a certain glow to them. Yes they can be a pain in the ass the last month or so but overall I think they rock.
