Be careful. This could happen to you

I see a great many comments about air, solutions and nozzles but not many about volume. I am curious to know if four or more quarts are dangerous? I normally take two to two-and-a-half quarts and only once took four, and that was with a double balloon nozzle to keep from having to clench up to hold it. Are there any studies about enema volumes that are safe and not safe? I would like some information from anyone with knowledge of safe and unsafe volumes. Thanks to all who read this. Stay well. Don

I think safe limits vary from person to person, their health, their colon size and elasticity, and their motivation and pain thresholds (e.g. volume queens ). What’s safe for one may not be safe for another. Six qts is a walk in the park for some, dangerous for others, and not a limit for others. If you’re trying to strech you limits, go slow and be careful. Don’t assume someone else’s volume as being safe for you.

I agree it is necessary to remain careful and for me there's a limit between erotic enema, a nice prelude to sex, and try to take more and more liquid. It's no a challenge to win but pleasure, better with your partner.

Thanks for sharing.

When I was growing up in the nineteenth fifties, my siblings and I spent a lot of time at our grandmothers during summer vacation. She was a retired Registered Nurse and a firm believer in enemas for kids, teenagers, and adults. Up until the summer I turned nine, we were given a soapy followed by a rinse enema, each consisting of a quart of warm water. That summer, grandma started us on yearly 3H enemas, that continued each year until I was sixteen. The same routine was followed, with a few differences. 1) Instead of an adult rectal nozzle, she used a long colon tube. 2) Instead of a quart of warm water, it was two quarts of warm water. 3) The following evening, we started a daily quart and a half quart rinse enema for a week. However, instead of the adult rectal nozzle, she told the girls to use a long-curved douche nozzle and increased volume going forward for routine enemas.

At our grandmothers, grandma handed 3H enemas, and our aunts handed routine enemas. Mom didn’t give us enemas at grandmas; she only gave us enemas at home.

Over the next year, during routine one and a half quart enemas from mom or our aunts. Once we’d received the soapy enema, they push our limits occasionally, during the rinse enema by at least a pint or two. This continued until the next summer, when I turned ten. That summer, I didn’t have any trouble taking a two-quart soapy or rinse 3H enema. I also, didn’t have any trouble with the daily two-quart rinse enemas using a long-curved douche nozzle afterwards for a week.

The 3H enema, the summer I turned nine, was prompted by mom complaining that we had been getting constipated far too often that spring. Resulting in her giving us enemas once or twice a week, instead of the usual twice a month.

After grandmas 3H enema, and the daily rinse enemas for a week, it cured our increased constipation issues. Returning to our normal twice a month. Was it the 3H enema or increased volume, is hard to say. But what I suspect, it was a combination of three different things. First, the 3H enema. Second, the increased volume. Third, a week of larger than normal daily rinse enemas afterwards expanding our colon.

Yes, there are many ER horror stories. Concrete enemas, light bulb insertions, fisting fistulas, and the deadly alcohol enema death😈But really, just play safe, know your limits and remember “if your friends say go, say no!!”. Like Hans Solo said, “I’ve got a bad feeling about this! Just fly casual”😎

I always do my own enemas. There is no one I trust enough to do one on me. I didn't even look at the link as I'm squeamish. Always best to get as much info as possible. Then get more info with regards to such an intimate activity as enemas. Thanks for the info. Very caring if a tad disturbing.
