Can you taste it?

You can definitely taste Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap.

Can someone explain the physiology getting from here to there.

I think certain additives can be smelled on the breath. Peppermint being one and really soapy enemas might also leave a soapy taste in your mouth. You can rub a clove of garlic on the bottom of your feet and it can shortly be smelled on your breath so I'm sure peppermint in an enema would be the same.

Absolutely. Once, when things were not going as expected, my colon hydrotheraist added some Real Lemon to a bag of warm water and gave it to me. Almost immediately, I could taste it. Oh, and strong cramping started within a few seconds and had the desired effect rapidly.

If my ex was pissed ( didn't figure that out ), I got a baking soda enema from an open bag. Then once it was almost empty, she added either vinegar or lemon juice to it, and bloated my belly to where I looked 5 month's pregnant before being allowed to expel. The cramps were exquisite yet painful, as she led me to the toilet, and the douche nozzle with bag in her hand.

Baking soda and vinegar enemas enemas. WOW !!

@Cleanout_lover

It's no surprise a baking soda and vinegar enema produces a lot of gas. They react, chemically, to produce CO2… lots of it. It's a similar reaction to that used in some older fire extinguishers or what makes bread rise. In the case of the soda-vinegar, the reaction is instantaneous.

This kind of enema is not very different than a M&M or Mayo, both of which produce a lot of gas, but these make the gas by bacterial action on the sugars in the enema solution and are much slower.

The result of any of these enemas is a very urgent urge to poo, which, if you don't get onto the toilet immediately will cause a messy accident, followed by an often explosive poo propelled by a lot of gas.

These are not enemas to be administered to give someone a ‘little help’ to relieve ordinary constipation.

As for tasting soap - Never tasted any of the soaps I've used and I have taken some very strong enemas. Thought soap was not supposed to cross into the blood, so cannot see getting it that way… cannot imagine belching it up as how big and enema would that have to be 😜 😜 😜

I've tasted many alcohol enemas. Coffee (with vodka) enemas are delicious, too. And I'm not dead yet❤🚀😜Just play safely.

Only peppermint in Bronner’s Castile liquid sometimes. My soap enemas are not very concentrated.

You're putting the nozzle in the wrong end 😁

I have experienced the peppermint after taste when using Dr. Bronner's. Especially if I mix it a little too strong.

@Public_Enema You're putting the nozzle in the wrong end 😁

😁😁😁 Thanks, made me laugh! Just for who-ha's I've played around with sticking the douche nozzle in my mouth and letting it spray with soapy water…

The nose is more important to tasting than the “tastebuds” in the tongue. According to what I've read, the tongue tastes only five things - sweet, salty, sour, bitter & savory, and any other flavor is detected/tasted by the nose.

So, I'd say it is perfectly logical that, if the soap, or other enema ingredient can be smelled by the receiver, they can taste it, too but the sense associated with the nose rather than the tongue. (same with garlic rubbed on the feet).

Yes, can taste the soap… sometimes, have to remember that some of the liquids in our colons are absorbed into or systems and leech out of our tongues as saliva .

At least with alcohol from wine or some other source we know its absorbed into the blood stream. Hence the buzz. Some of the alcohol is exchanged out into the air we breathe and then exhale. In fact that is the basis of the breathalyzer you might be unfortunate enough to be tested with. Taste, being centered in the mouth and nose both bathed in exhaled moist air is going to be triggered. The thought that getting drunk on booze up your ass will let you pass a alcohol test is also totally false for that exact reason. I'd guess that some other aromatics would follow the same path.

Yes, I taste most additives while I'm taking or holding. Some I taste even hours later, when I do a second plain water enema. Coffee does this.

As a child my Mom always gave me plain warm water enemas for my constipation. When I was 7 I was burned by hot coffee and was bedridden for a couple of weeks. I was was on strong antibiotics and pain killers so after several days I became VERY constipated. The Dr. recommended a soap suds enema for me. Well, my Mom had never made one soapy before, so she really did not know what she was doing. I remember sitting on the toilet trying to go as she retrieved to BF Goodrich combination bag from the hall linen closet and a pitcher from the kitchen. She was running water in the bathtub into the pitcher and mixing something into it, I could not see. When she went to pour the liquid into the enema bag it looked so white, I asked if it was milk? She said no, the Dr. ordered a soapy enema for you. Soon I was laying naked in the bathroom floor with the black bat shaped nozzle in my rectum. Almost as soon as she started the enema, my rectum was burning and I had severe cramps. I made her stop, and she thought the cramping was because I was very constipated. She started the water again, and again I cramped VERY badly and asked that she stop. My rectum was still burning and I began to taste soap in my mouth. Soon I was getting very nauseated, and I asked her to stop the enema, I was going to throw up! I jumped on the toilet and she grabbed the waste basket just as I vomited. There I was, sitting naked on the toilet, trying to push out the enema water which seemed like it was on fire, the cramps were horrible and I was throwing up everything that I had eaten in the past year! I finally expelled the soapy water and I had nothing else to throw up, so I was finally able to go to bed. I did not take enough enema water to have a BM, so my Mom call the Dr.'s office and they sent a nurse out the next day to give me a soapy enema. This was in the 1960's when they did that sort of stuff. Well the nurse shows up and shows my Mom how strong to make the enema telling her that it was too strong. When my Mom hung the enema bag on the medicine cabinet door over the sink (the top of the hanging hook of the bag was 5'-6" above the floor, I know because I measured it when I was older) the nurse scolded my Mom that it was too high for an enema. That pissed my Mom off and she said "that is where I hang it for my enemas"! The nurse said "do what you want for you, but that is way too high for a child". She made my Mom stand there and hold the bag waist high. I laid naked on the floor as the nurse inserted the nozzle and proceeded to give me all the water in the bag, stopping several times. This time I had a few cramps, but no burning in my rectum and no nausea and no soap taste. I was able to hold the enema for a few minutes and I had a good BM.

First impressions really do matter, If my Mothers soapy enema had been the first one that I had in my childhood, I would NOT be on this forum, because it was horrible!

First impressions: My wife never had an enema as a child. The first one for her was in labor and she said she had natural childbirth and the enema was the worst part of it! She quickly began giving me enemas when we married, but it took me over one year to give her one when she was terribly constipated and in pain. She still is not crazy about enemas but she is very anal erotic so I still give her one occasionally.

Isn’t it true that the smell can activate your tastes buds?

Not trying to snarky here, honestly curious about the science, or the perception of presumed science. If all these flavors are traveling internally to the taste buds, is the taste of poo also traveling to the taste buds? Maybe we taste our own poo on a small scale, continuously every day, and it has become our baseline for what we think of being flavorless? Or the poo flavor being absorbed into our bloodstream is immediately filtered out by the kidneys and therefore never reaches the tongue? Or maybe the poo flavor crystals are too large to be absorbed through the intestinal tissues, leaving them behind in concentrated form? So many things to ponder.

@Hookajoe After I posted I was thinking the same thing. Pavlovian syndrome. If smell alerts our taste buds, why don’t we taste our poop or farts. There was a comedienne who expounded on how we savor our own farts but find others offensive. Maybe it’s conditioning!

While smell can induce sensation of taste, tasting enema solution might be caused indeed by certain substances entering blood, but rather being carried to taste buds, what is completely wrong idea, taste buds do not work by passing things into blood, those substances are affecting various organs and that triggers memory of taste that is associated with the substance. At least, that is my theory 😃

I can taste different solutions I use. Normally the type of soap I use doesn’t cause a taste sensation. It’s either a goat milk type soap or coconut oil soap, unless the coconut oil soap has peppermint added to it, then I can taste it. I always use essential oils with my second enema. My favorite is Frankincense oil, mixing it with Myrrh oil can benefit me also. When I use it during the enema I can taste it, feel my sinuses opening and feel my lungs open up if there is any congestion at the moment. It’s hard to explain but I can feel it in my entire body and skin and I really feel great afterwards.

I’ve received enemas as far back as I can remember and never tasted a soapy or rinse enema. Growing up, we got as many enemas in our bedroom as we did in the bathroom. When we got enemas in the bedroom, we couldn’t smell the Ivory soap mom used in our enemas. However, when we got enemas in the bathroom, it was large enough that mom put us in together. But small enough with the door pulled too or closed, we could smell the soap. The scent just hanging in the air. By the time we’d each received a soapy enema, and mom started our salt and baking soda rinse enema, the smell of soap was really strong. I never got a soapy taste in my mouth from enemas, but the smell of soap in the bathroom could get really strong at times.
