Three Kinds of Reponses to Enemas

Group one for a long, long time.

No doubt I’m in Group 1 with 60 years of experience.

I'm in the second group , it is the embarrassment and humiliation that excites me. I never want to discuss it with anyone except here. If someone else brings it up out in the open, I will shy away from the topic and even blush.

But in the end the response is the same.

Everybody loses their shit!

I guess I fall into the klismo category ,I loved moms first enema,and it hooked me for life with enemas

Definitely group 1. I don't remember eve putting up a fuss with my very first enema. I felt so much better after that one, that I didn't fuss at any others that were aimed at me.

I have posted on other threads that at a very early age and probably wired as such to be anal erotic. My first foray into anal eroticism was when I started doing enemas at age 13- I never received them while growing up. Once I started at age 13 I have been giving myself enemas regularly- I am now in my 60's.

Based on the OP's segmentation of enema users, I was clearly in group 2 for many years including the majority of my now 35 year old marriage. I mentioned early on in our marriage that I like enemas and it got a reaction of confusion- how could enemas be pleasurable. From there I returned to being a closeted enema user until a few years ago when I re-introduced the subject and broke new ground with my wife. I essentially put all my enema cards on the table. I outed myself. And now she knows I do them regularly and do them for sexual pleasure. She prefers not be around when I do them and certainly won't participate. But I am now open about my enema use for sexual gratification. That said I still don't talk about it openly with others unless they too are klismos.

Being stuck in the dark as described as group 2 really sucks. You really do free yourself when you come forward and tell your significant other about your enema fetish- preferable before you get married. From there you have to feel others out as to when to mention it if you feel it's appropriate.

How does the old saying go- "the truth sets you free." Well it applies to our enema fetish too.

I am in group 2. I was in college and living with a girlfriend, wanted to tell that I loved enemas but just couldn’t get the words out. Found an article in penthouse, told her what page it was on. When I came home that night, she was ready for me with the water filled bag hanging from a lamp. It was an ok enema, but I could tell she was not into it. The next time I was dating a woman, first date, I asked if she had ever had an enema. Her response was would you like me to give you one. Of course I said yes.

Having given the question alot of thought, I think one can divide people into three classes when it comes to enemas.

In the first class, are the true kLismo’s, who are quite comfortable with their preference, and feel no guilt about it. It is just another human behavior. They may not discuss it openly, as society would still look askance, but they are comfortable with it, and are probably most of the people on a site are in this category.

The second group, are what I call the closet kLismo’s - who are less open in their acceptance, or maybe even in denial as to the sexual gratification to be obtained from enemas - from taking to talking, but also understand the sexual arousal, albeit feeling guilty about it. Key point is that they are still in the closet, although they will engineer an enema situation, either giving or getting, whenever possible. Both myself and my spouse, as a couple are probably in this category, although I personally regard myself as a kLismophile, at least on this site. Many of those who advocate enemas for health and “cleanliness” reasons, are possibly in this category.

The remaining group find the subject unpleasant, and the process as well, but accept it for medical reasons, as they would any other invasive or embarrassing procedure.

Like EVERYTHING ELSE in the world, this basically boils down to

1---those who really enjoy something

2---those who are neutral

3---those who don't like something

Group 1 now, formerly group 2

Wait a minute; there are three types but just not what you stated.

#1 - Loved it but wouldn't admit for shame!

#2 - That lied about not liking it! Still being treated!

#3 - All screwed up. Probably wears gloves to masterbate!

I am in the 1st group because I like enema too much

The OP said about group 1:

"In the first class, are the true kLismo’s, who are quite comfortable with their preference, and feel no guilt about it. It is just another human behavior. They may not discuss it openly, as society would still look askance, but they are comfortable with it, and are probably most of the people on a site are in this category."

There are "degrees" of the first group. Some who crave it daily and others who are comfortable with an enema once a week or even once a month - with no guilt or shame. Some like large volumes as a challenge and some don't. Some like long multiple enemas and clean-outs, some just do it only for sexual pleasure. I enjoy enemas and have no guilt - but I don't consider myself a hard core "klismo" because I don't crave it on a regular basis. Maybe it's just my interpretation of the definition of klismo.

I googled klismaphilia and basically it says someone who gets sexual pleasure from enemas or colonics. So yes I am one! What I found a little disturbing is that a lot of articles call it a "sexual disorder". I don't view it any more of a disorder than masturbating - unless either one gets to to the point that it becomes obsessive and adversely affects your life/job/relationship etc.

OTK4 fun. You have my meaning entirely. I think perhaps Suzie misses my point in classification two. I think a more nuanced reading yields your interpretation.

I think one of the great benefits this website bestows, is that it helps those in Group one, and possibly Group 2 of my classification feel better and more at one with themselves - it certainly does for me, knowing I am not alone

OP - I agree with you as well. I do not believe that we should see at as being dysfunctional. it’s just a case of different strokes, and the world is becoming far more tolerant now, of what used to be regarded as sexual aberrations. Perhaps it’s all Freud’s fault ! (Please note - I am not a psychologist!)

I know that I posted a couple of months ago and said that I was in group 2, but since then I've thought a lot about people who I know that take enemas and feel that it is really hard to type others. For one, my younger sister was always an enthusiastic enema taker growing up and our mom always seemed to be giving her one. After I went away to college she was in her high school years and I have no idea what she might have been doing behind closed doors, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that she was taking enemas. I'll never know her sexual enjoyment however.

My wife has always been a group 2 member. She loves a good enema, but she definitely is most private about her practices and her feelings. That said, she loves it when she can get me to give her one and those times always follow with some of the best sex we've had in our married life.

Put me down for group 1.

I don’t recall ever receiving an enema I didn’t enjoy, and can honestly say, the same thing for my brother and sister. Growing up seeing my brother and sister receiving enemas and they me. We never had any issues receiving enemas or talking amongst ourselves, or for that matter, with our closest friends about enemas. It was the normal 50’s and 60’s when kids received enemas on Doctor’s orders. If you ever used the bathroom at a friends house, nine times out of ten, you’d see an enema bag hanging in the shower or behind the bathroom door. It was normal for the times, up until the late 70’s and early 80’s, when enemas started falling out of favor with Doctors.

As for my kids, my son could take them or leave them, but always said afterwards, “I feel better now.” My daughter on the hand, was more like her Dad, and Aunt & Uncle, she never received an enema she didn’t love. My brothers two girls, were like my daughter, they too, never received an enema they didn’t like. My ex-wife was more like my son when we first met. But after sharing an apartment with my sister for a year, she went from group 2 to group 1.

Enemas can be a lot of different things to different people, like someone said, “different strokes for different forks.” What’s normal for one, may not be normal for another. We have to respect one another’s differences and there in lies the problem.

Definitely, I am in the first group!

I am definitely solidly in the first group because I do not hide my proclivity from anyone. My Jugbag, which I invented, hangs from the shower curtain in plain sight for anyone to see. My professional Colon Hydrotherapy machine and bunk/table are in the laundry where the machine is hooked into the water and sewer connections that serve both the colonic and washing machines.

I have, at various times been in any one of the three categories.

From the time that I auto administered my first enema at about age six through high school, enemas were a novelty that grew in frequency and volume. However, I could not admit to myself that I used and enjoyed them. In college I graduated to group two where my bag hung in my closet behind my shirts. I took my enemas at any time when no one was around. When asked, I would neither confirm nor deny. At the same time, if I was or am asked about my Jugbag, I call it my colon irrigator or enema syringe. If asked, will discuss enemas as the key to good health and why everyone should use them. They are truly ,"Good to the last drop!"

It was when I paraded my Jugbag with all of its tubing and enema pump through the lobby of a couple of hotels on check in, that I realized that I didn't care what others thought. That was when I reaffirmed my membership in group one as a confirmed Klismophile. Thank you, Joanne Denko for diagnosing my condition! A day without my enema is like a day without sunshine.

Now, the Mantra of group one is, "An enema a day keeps the Doctor away!"

Over the many years of getting enemas, I would have to say I graduated from group three , to group two, and now firmly reside in group one.

Sort of like getting my Bachelors degree, then my Masters, and now holding a PHD in Klismaphilia. 😉 😁

I must be somewhere between 2 and 3.

Big turn on -The process, the dom/sub doctor/patient aspect, the intimacy, the focus on the ass and anal area, the prep and lubrication and nozzle insertion.

But the enema itself, liquid entering and leaving my bowels? I’m completely indifferent. It’s not interesting to me.

I started in group 3 disliking but accepting a rare enema from my mother when I was sick. Then, in my early 20s, shortly after my husband and I were married, I was seriously injured in an accident and needed many months of rehab.

A visiting nurse, who I have written about many times here, gave me an enema due to my overuse of painkillers that stopped up my system. I hated it.

She felt that I needed a second enema, which I reluctantly agreed to -- and it unexpectedly triggered a response that felt so good. Over time, I became comfortable with using an enema bag for my health (I inherited a touch of IBS-C and migraine headaches from my mom), and, frankly, sometimes the enjoyment and benefits of a good physical and emotional cleanse.

Obviously, a solid 2 and occasionally moving up.

Put me in group one please.....oh and two..........and three.......any chance of an enema in whatever situation.

@sirensong and I are in group one - and we solidly put ourselves in that category after a week long road trip to a very nice hotel in a very interesting southeastern city following a mandatory family event elsewhere. There is nothing I like about COVID-19, EXCEPT, that at hotels there is no maid service. You can ask for fresh towels and fresh sheets which are happily delivered to your hotel room door, but no one comes in. That means you don't have to put the enema bag and other toys away! Very cool. So with the privacy, we could embrace my enema fetish unapologetically, as the week would be about anal play and we used the enemas as both foreplay and for cleaning in advance of later play..... and yes, the enemas frequently produced orgasms. Sirensong had her bottom thoroughly attended to, and she lovingly cleaned me and pegged me with her new strap-on panty set. It's good to have the opportunity to move from group 2 to group 1. I'm a very lucky man.

I'm not sure I fit neatly into any of those categories. For me, an enema is more an act of submission. I do enjoy them, but only in the context that the embarrassment and discomfort makes my Dom happy. Or the fact that He enjoys giving them and that makes me feel like I have done something special for him.

I think a person's age at their first enema experience could effect which of the categories they fall into. Adults are more sexually sophisticated and hopefully better at dealing with any guilt or shame. Childhood has a high probability of imprinting and it's surprising enemas weren't 100% addictive or phobic for those who grew up with them.

I didn't grow up with them & am definitely category 1 all the way when giving enemas. I fit into what I'd like to add as category 4 receiving. This category is the opposite of 3 where neither the subject or procedure is unpleasant and enemas are not needed for medical reasons but not exciting either 😁

Welcome to Zity, @PattyAnn1970. Best kink site on the Internet. Have fun.

Group 2 but anyone is fine with consent and pleasure as a goal.

Group 1 for sure. I'll even bring it up in casual conversation to see what kind of reaction I get from a lady.

Also mostly group 2 with occasional forays towards group 1. Willing to talk to my partner about my interests, although that hasn't got very far yet, but not really anyone else (so this group is something of a lifeline). I was quite embarassed when the subject came up with her parents one evening. I remember raising the subject once with a friend many years ago, but didn't get much response. Maybe as time goes on I will move more towards 1, but for now it's largely a solo situation.
