Exceeding a safe pressure of an enema.

There is such a thing called terminal velocity. All objects fall at a rate of 9.8m/sec2 until terminal velocity is reached. I doubt there is much difference between 6 ft and 17 ft when it comes to velocity of water. Good science fair project for someone.... Would definitely be a topic of conversation in the teacher's longue and judge room.

The issue is not velocity of the water--that is immaterial. What is important is the static head--the pressure that comes from elevation. I will not advise you on what to do, but I think that 17' is probably far too much.

I'm on heavy duty pain killers (Percocet) to help alleviate pain from major hand surgery. This stuff has caused my colon to literally stop. I tried enemas, but even they don't do much...lots of water left inside my colon.So I am going to have my first colonic hydrotherapy session tomorrow morning in an effort to finally clean me out, and wanted to know if anyone here has had any experience with this and any problems with pressure of the water being injected into the colon. I've read that if it is injected with too much pressure, it can push some fecal matter past the ileocecal valve into the small intestine. Anyone with info about this?

A colonic will not push feces up through the ileocecal valve. The colonic machines are limited to about 2 psi.

I hope you are having the CLOSED system used, not a open one.

You may have residual water, so stay on the toilet for extra time. Also walk around or do jumping jacks to get the water out when your done.

That ISN'T TRUE.

People may have weak areas they are unaware of until they up the pressure.

Yes, that's what I am worrying about. But I cannot resist my desire to push my limit.

I apply 2 psi maximum. Is it possible to break diverticulum? Diverticulum could be the weak area. I do not know if I have any though.

Does "Psychological Pressure" count on this thread?? I've stated that quite seriously as befits some threads here.

There's a certain human character aspect best described as knowing we're taking "some chances" for whatever reward is in the scene. Sometimes we defy basic common sense in that pursuit of an elusive desire. She or he - or two people- decide that yeah they're going to Take Chances and see how close they can go. So we need caution on many levels. More on that as I go on . So? IF we do the research and err on the side of safety we can still feel an *INTENSITY* that makes our life feel worth living. Either we are wired to Grok that need in a shared warm smile sort of way, or this may be harder to explain? Still&all- we are what we are and if we have these needs, we're going to pursue them:>

Both as top or bottom to use terms in current use despite them making me feel edgy but that's another post...

Often it's all kept within "Close Enough" that the risk is all psychological. NEVER FORGET THAT PAIN CAN CAUSE LASTING MENTAL DAMAGES!

I've chatted with some folks that in priv seemed to be wanting escape from either a relationship with an enema giver lover or their self administered desires and that conflict seems "Stockholm Syndrome" evocative. eversomuch more with enemas.

I am coldly scared that some folks get drawn into intense scenes to "Please Someone" and inside- it's a scene of building life long traumas or worse. I've also a wild arsed hypothetical query of if we can indeed give ourselves mental traumas. As in during solo play, especially enemas "how do you Safeword YOURSELF? Seriously, whilst we might tell the other person STOP!! at a point long before we might push self to, how much mode risk of defying the "Pain Safeword" by iour sheer stubborn will to get that whole whatever in us?

I have deeply bittersweetly fond memories of evenings in my late teens chasing the elusive Hands Free Orgasm that cramps alone "could" melt me with. And yeah- I'd been plainly stupidly risky in solutions/pressures/retention times etc plus a shedload of other elements glossed over here- Me Sighs, makes note to blog of them, and focuses on this here&now post. .. Al the above sums up to:

Let's be aware that we can be skewing our risk to reward evaluations for the orgasms both mental and bodily. Enemas add literal Gut Resonances plus depths of risk that are what they are. Learning what they are can keep us alive to enjoy this. With a bonus of expanding our enjoyment by taking some worry out of the scene. I don't feel that mortal risk improves a scene so play safe, Eh?

I use a 4 quart bag and hang it very low on my IV stand while taking enemas.

I hang my 4 quart bag filled with tap water so that the bottom is about 3-1/2 feet above the floor of the shower, which makes it about 3 feet above my ass. I regulate the flow so that it takes perhaps 15 minutes to empty and as a result have very few cramps. When the bag is empty, the water level in the tube goes down to about 14", which is not a lot of pressure. I put in an inflatable butt plug afterwards and I can hold the water in indefinitely, though in fact, it is only 5-10 minutes. By having a slow filling rate, my colon can relax and fill with no danger of too high a pressure, as the ending pressure proves. I have not tried more than 4 quarts, but 4 quarts works fine for me, so I do not think I will. I think that a slow flow rate is important.

I prefer discussing nominal (low risk for a healthy person) and risky bowel pressures. The water stops flowing into the colon when the static pressure in the colon equals the static pressure from the water column above from the nozzle. If you are laying flat, the the pressure is more or less uniform. When you get up at the end of an enema (water shut off) you will notice the pressure in the sigmoid increase from the water above in the transverse colon. The medical profession has measured what the pressure in the colon is from a large volume cleansing enema. A low risk cleansing enema (usually 2 quarts or less) will causes a bowel pressure from 1.4 to 2.2 feet of water column (about .58 to .96 psi). You can determine the pressure of your enema by the height of the water in the tubing when the bag is empty. A pressure of 3.58 feet of water column (1.57 psi) and above is considered risky. Air or gas in the bowel can result in localized pressures from cramping that are higher than the nominal water pressure. I have no trouble completely filling my colon with a final pressure of less than 2 feet water column. Slow fill with massage works for me.

Exceeding safe pressure can cause a perforation (tear) in the colon. if this goes untreated a person could wind up dying from internal bleeding in as little as three days. so don't get too crazy.
