Enemas and Release of Emotions: Is This a "Female Thing?"

There are times after I've had an enema that I have felt a pent-up release of emotions. Times I had been angry about something, and after an enema it didn't bother me that much. I've read that our "gut" stores resentment and anger – and there's a GI-brain connection. My husband says this is a "female thing." Has anyone else experienced this? I certainly have. Admittedly, I have cried like a baby a few times when I felt negative emotions drain out of me after an enema.

It is definitely a female thing. I have read about numerous women crying or having other emotional outbursts after or sometimes during a colonic.

I can't say I have ever experienced that even after over 100 colonics, or in conjunction with well over 15000 enemas in my life because I am usually too busy masturbating and having several orgasms depending on how many enemas I do in the series.

With colonics, I just lay back, relax and enjoy someone else doing all the work for me.

The same thing once happened with a guy I gave a very gentle enema to. He said he was remembering childhood abuse issues over spankings & enemas.

Cellular memory is popular in some theories of pain so there's lots of room for more research. My favorite theory is endorphins get released during colon contractions. I've seen others and myself effected emotionally by exercise endorphins which is why I make this connection.

No it is not a female thing, allow me to refer 2 the movie, The Men Who Stare at Goats. If you have seen the movie then recall the scene where Jeff Bridges is receiving a colonic. If you haven't seen the movie then I suggest you find that scene. Actually I suggest you watch the movie I enjoyed it very well. But I think that the point is clear, enemas can be a very emotional thing for a man

Does it not happen to the husband?

I think it's a female thing for the most part. I know there are some touchy feely guys out there but in my book it's mostly female.

When I was in Colon Hydrotherapist training, there was a segment where we were taught about clients having "emotional releases" during a session. I myself don't believe in the sort of thing where a person's emotions are somehow connected with the bowels. Or the idea that a sudden release of waste when getting a colonic may be accompanied with an emotional release. Some people get a colonic because they are already having emotional issues, and they think we as therapists are ideal candidates for them to spill their guts (no pun intended) in more ways than one. I've only had this happen once, a few years ago with a female client. She was having marital issues. I've never had men get emotional while I gave them a colonic. But again, I've never thought these issues somehow live in our gut, waiting to be flushed out so the body can be pure again. I gave colonics to help people get their bowels going more regular, and to help rid the body of toxins that do indeed get trapped in slow moving fecal matter inside the colon.

Enema tears from a woman is the ultimate turn on to me. not sobbing sadistic enema pain but tears simply from the emotions of getting an enema. one of the hottest enemas i ever did was with a lesbian over the phone. as i listened to her fixing the enema bag at the sink she was crying just from those emotions of it all. i came right then!

one of the hottest enema times in my life....

Shaman,

Would like to see this. Where in the movie is this scene found? Thanks,

An enema is as much about cleansing the spirit as it is about cleansing the body.

I do NOT detect anything gender-specific in that aspect, except that it is more socially acceptable for women to SHOW emotion than it is for men.

It isn’t a female thing. Not sure it applies to everyone but aside from sexual aspects after an enema stress is relieved and a clean and healthy feeling arrives. What could be better. And if it’s a sexual release after an Enema well how good is that for relieving tensions and brightening your day

Long before my wife and I met and married, I was taught as a preteen, to give myself enemas, as were both of my siblings. Afterwards, I given myself or received enemas from my siblings or girlfriend on a regular basis. My wife, as young teen, started using enemas and douching on advice of her OB/GYN for period cramps and personal hygiene. The year before we got married, she shared an apartment with my sister and learned there was far more to enema usage than period cramps or constipation. She’d came in one afternoon, not long after they started sharing an apartment, uptight about her job and constipated. She told my sister, her concerns about her job and that she was constipated to boot. My sister ask her, would you like me to give you an enema to relieve your constipated and help you feel better? She replied, “sure, if you don’t mind.” My sister, preferring a douche nozzle, use it, rather than a rectal nozzle, as she prepared the two quart salt and baking soda enema. As she slowly gave the enema to her roommate in the knee chest position, she started moved the nozzle back and forth in a twisting motion in her anus. She continued this movement, even after the two quart enema bag was empty, until her roommate had an orgasm. Afterwards, she told my sister, “that was the best orgasm I’ve ever had. You’ve got to tell me exactly what you did.”

After we got married we gave each other enemas for different reasons depending on the need at the time. My wife received enemas for constipation, period cramps, stress, and being moody. I received enemas for constipation, stress, and being moody. We also, both used enemas during foreplay and after sexual intercourse on occasions. After we had kids, they received enemas for constipation, stress, being moody, and when their Pediatrician advised for illness.

I can state that, for my wife an I and our kids, enemas worked equally well on all four of us for the reasons I’ve stated above. From my experience, they work just as well on both genders of all ages.

The subject of feeling euphoric after an enema came up in another thread. Exercise, laughter, sex, even eating chocolate have shown to release endorphins - a pain reliever and a feel good sensation and euphoria. A sexually stimulating enema could very well do the same thing..

The only "release of emotions" I ever had during an enema was the euphoria with the orgasm from Susan's blowjob.

Enemas have long since quit being just a way to clean out my bum for a nice bit of anal sex. Every time I put or have an enema nozzle slipped inside of me by either myself or someone I care about, I feel emotions. If I am about sex play and having fun, rubbing one off, and just all about the physical bits, then the emotions are of fun, experimentation, part of the sex. But if I'm wanting to 'socialize' or connect with that someone, then of course there are emotions.

I think it's more a personal thing. Some people feel one thing, Some another. For me, it's a release, and in many cases I'm seeking more than just that. I might be seeking an empty feeling in my gut or prostate stimulation--or just the sensation of the water filling me. Enemas mean multiple things to each, I think.

Years ago I persuaded a female friend to go with me to a colon hydrotherapy clinic. The therapist suggested an enema to start things off, and my friend reluctantly agreed. She came out of the treatment room with tears of joy streaming down her cheeks and eager for the colonic.

Had your friend ever had an enema before that? Did she orgasm during the enema? What happened to her during and after the colonic?

Eric:

My friend recalled only having a Fleet enema., but felt clogged up enough to agree to my enema suggestion. I was not in the treatment room. I don't know about an orgasm because I wasn't in the small treatment room. but it was possible given her emotional release. The colonic, shortened from the usual 45 minutes, was less dramatic and I had one myself.

Enemas have many benefits. Obviously sexual ones and health ones. But one of the benefits often overlooked is the relief from stress. I don’t know how most feel but after an Enema I feel clean and relaxed. We all like different kinds of enemas but I think most feel better after

Enemas as a stress reliever? Absolutely!

Were it not that enemas can also be erotic, I'd still take them from a stress relief standpoint. As @Redbag77 said, I feel totally relaxed with an added sense of well being after a nice enema series. I know some of my friends take prescription meds for stress and anxiety, however, I consider myself fortunate that some "me" time with my enema bag has so far sufficed to eliminate the need for anything else. There may come a day when something more is required, but for now, nothing beats some quiet time with my silicone friends!

Have fun and play safe!

I concur with @Redbag77 & @debgurl about enemas often being overlooked for stress relief. If I get stressed out over something my go to remedy is a couple of warm water salt and baking soda enemas. Enemas work for me far better than any drug ever has. They worked for me and my siblings as kids, then teenagers, for me as an adult, my wife, an our two kids. I don’t begin to understand why enemas work for stress, but they do. I can remember as a kid, if we got really upset about something, while at grandmas, she’d take us to the bathroom and give us an enema to clam us down, worked every time.

As a boy aged 9--12 I'd get some bad constipation episodes (a long too-big-too-pass) clog. The Dr. prescribed 32--40 oz.warm soapy water enema would clean me out very effectively everytime---it would feel like my entire g.i.tract had been emptied. After any enema I'd be wore out emotionally from all the "fussing & or crying"--mild embarrassment and the uncomfortable feelings of pressure/fullness and the odd tingle from the soapy water. I'd need 1-2 hours of quiet time (pouting-?) to recover my boyhood pride. My appetite level would go sky high post enema and I'd raid the fridge and briefly pig out...

Oh boy, I remember that... getting so backed up there was an ache and emptiness through the whole left side of my abdomen. I get the "calm and stillness" feelings after I give to myself, but it makes me wonder if the larger emotional responses require a partner, especially one you know and feel safe with. I certainly would like to try it out, wonder if I can get my partner on the same page.

Certainly does seem to work well for stress relief. My hypothesis is that it is an intense experience that grabs your attention and serves as a sort of mental reset, similar to what you hear about from some people in spanking or those who do a hard run to blow off stress.

I also agree that the enema works not only on the body but also on the psyche. I don't think this applies only to women. During childhood, I received enemas relatively often because of constipation. Even then, I noticed that after the enema he was relaxed and calm. At the time, I only attributed it to the fact that the constipation was over. Now I think it was more than that.

One of my cousins (girl) ​​also got enemas. At first, just like me due to constipation. My mother advised this to her mother (my aunt). My mother also gave the girl the first enema and taught it to my aunt. Once, I heard my aunt telling mother about the enemas she gives her daughter. She said that her daughter's constipation is over and almost never happens.

She said she was giving her daughter enemas for other reasons. With colds - helpful; my mom knew it but didn't use it when I had a cold. On the other hand, my aunt said that she used it like her daughter was very nervous.Once her daughter was nervous about an important test at school. She was so nervous that she couldn't study. My aunt said to take a break because she won't learn anything anyway. She gave her a large chamomile enema. After the enema worked, she gave her a massage. There was a warm bath at the end. My daughter calmed down and I was able to study.

My aunt advised my mother to apply it to me. Mama didn't take that advice. I was happy with it then, now I don't think it's a bad way.

My husband says this is a "female thing." Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, I have.... perhaps it is a female thing psychic-wise. I'm physically a male, though bi at times, and feel more female than male in terms of my mind and emotions. When I would get into a funk, I'd force fill my hot-water bottle enema bag so it was bulging like a basket ball and then role-play as if another person was with me, taking me about my poor attitude while leading me into the bathroom and giving me the large soap enema to correct my poor attitude. It worked! Of course, the sexual arousal created by the enema played a big part in this...

If you have something that needs to come out, that's the time to let it out!

Enemas are as much an emotional cleanse as a physical one.

Many times in college...stress drove me to drink...until i found enemas worked better, with no hangover in getting me mentally back on track. Girl friend at the time, suggested it and actually bought my first enema bag set....memories 😉

It’s a funny thing about an enema. You feel clean after and thus physically better. You feel stress release especially if the enema promotes a satisfying intense orgasm. Together the physical and stress relief can lead to a better emotional state and attitude. So while it seems strange that inserting liquid in your rear can have beneficial affects it does for many. Maybe it will stage a comeback LOL

My Mom was all about a good enema and a good cry. I realize as a Mom now, that there are times when girls need that emotional release. A nice big soapy enema can really help with that. I know I always felt better after Mom gave me a big soapy enema and that led to me having a good cry.
