As others have mentioned two whole bars is way way over the top. .in fact so excessive that 10 Gallons wouldn't be sufficient to reduce it's aggressive nature. .Such a level of soap solution to that degree of concentration can lead to colon health concerns & possible skin irritation if not regulated properly, as all a soapsuds enema requires is to be is of a milky white consistency that can be regulated according to ones preference
@superego correctly ventures :
Jimmini. you need to spend some time looking at the recipe section of this fine site. time spent browsing old messages and threads. btw did you check the water temp?
remember most of us are here for fun but with safety being at least a thought
Wise words indeed !
@one-eyes observes & notes :
2.5 quarts is not an unusual volume, but two bars of soap is a lot! I’m surprised you could even get that much soap to dissolve. The concentrated soap solution rather than the volume might have caused your problems with holding. — Turpentine (I assume you mean wood turpentine not mineral turpentine) used to be used in enemas but is harmful, so I wouldn’t try to replicate that aspect of your memories.
Another good response worthy of address - eliminate turpentine in any form. .Period !
@TheBigBagger comments :
I guess different people are different, jimmini but two whole bars of soap in a 2.5 quart enema is about 30 times as much soap as I would EVER use.
When I do soapsuds, it is always either goat's milk soap or Dr. Bronners "baby mild" liquid. For the bar soap, I only swish the bar around for about three minutes. It melts a little away, but it is WAY less than a tenth of a whole bar. For the liquid, the MOST I've ever used was one tablespoon per quart, and that was too much for me.
Perhaps your memories were somewhat exaggerated. Not by you, but by time.
Again, a fairly good recount of what constitutes the soap infused enema. .find what one is most comfortable with
I don't think it's a case of "Grossly overestimating capacity" but more likely underestimating both the soap residue volume in terms of predictable potency & and not being able to readily recognize what that degree of potency will do to a person. .which would be very very unpleasant. Let alone the harm you can do to yourself
In conclusion & notably is that the many members of all genders here at zity that offer excellent well known & accurate information so others can enjoy their proclivities / come dalliances in safety
