Will enemas make a come back?

Here in Brazil a celebrity spoke on a tv show that she had a coffee enema to treat a skin problem.

I suppose that enemas will no more come back, but I am astonished, in which manner swallowing castor oil in a regular manner has increased in certain regions of the world: In YouTube I have found more than 70 videos recommending the daily use of 1 tablespoon (= 15 ml) castor oil early in the morning on an empty stomach, this not only to relieve a chronic constipation but in the case of an anal fissure or haemorrhoids too.

I don't think they will be as widespread in Medicine but their popularity is rising I think. Look at all of the equipment on Ebay and Amazon. Younger folks are using them for Anal sex and coffee enemas are VERY popular just do a Google search and see how many hits you get.

The question is not entirely clear. Enemas for medicinal purposes have not gone away, at least in pediatrics. A nurse friend once spoke of the widespread use of enemas in relation to children and adolescents, in many cases it is even more preferable because of its safety than drugs.

I wish they'd been preferable with my pediatrician growing up.

I doubt that enemas will become as common as they were years ago, but there’s definitely some resurgence in their popularity as younger adults, especially women, consider alternatives to maintaining their health. What I’m seeing at my own doctor’s is that the stress levels in society are way up, and this is causing an increase in G.I. digestive problems.

We have an IBS support group (ages late 20s to 60s) that meets occasionally, where enemas are now talked about openly among a dozen or so women. Some were very reluctant at first, but are now more comfortable with the subject. They are still frowns and snickers. Not everyone is jazzed about sticking a tube up their behind, but at least they will consider taking an enema as an option if they are constipated.

There is, however, still an element of privacy about the subject. I am sure that some of the women have discovered the sensual benefits and actually enjoy an enema session, while others will take the plunge but would never talk about it outside the sanctity of a support group.

All you have to do is do a tik tok search for enemas, and you will see tons of posts from young people, mostly women, regarding enema use. A couple actually advocate use of an enema as soon as you get to your hotel when traveling.

If you mean making a come back in the clinical world, only if laxatives and suppositories become unavailable. The typical 1.5 liter soap suds enema is far to labor intensive and the costs bring out the demon side in both hospital administration and insurers. Five years back a friend was asking me about the cost of an enema she received while hospitalized. Her insurer's Explanation of Benefits indicated the hospital billed over $600.00 for an enema (she indicated it was like a plastic IV bag and the solution was milky so I suspect it was the typical 1.5 liter enema).

The last I heard was that an order for an enema of any description usually required prior authorization from most insurers, and frequently it was the physician who had to speak to the insurer, not a nurse or other qualified person articulating the necessity, else the insurer would not pay.

Also most patients react negatively to learning that an enema has been ordered. Staff does not enjoy dealing with the negative commentary, that often turns vituperative.

Coffee enemas seem to be making new e-lovers.

@EZease I do a 1qt coffee enema after a 2qt soapy and a rinse and retain for 30 mins laying on my right side. Supposed to detox the liver, and have a little play time while holding, Then feel totally relaxed and take a warm shower and relax. 😉

I'm sure you'll enjoy it @EZease

Contrary to everyone’s wishes on this site, I can safely say that even during the so called golden age, most people really didn’t like enemas and feared ever having to face another one. Laxatives were much more excepted.

That being said, constipation still remains a very common complaint, and the reliability of an enema is unquestionable; so the acceptance of the Fleet enema is clear. I have read that Fleets outsell all other laxatives combined. So, enemas are still here. Couple that with the growth in alternative therapies, “Colonics”. Let’s face it, a colonic is nothing more than a $100 enema.

The conclusion is that enemas are as popular as they always were, the difference the medical community no longer promotes them, so average people seek another alternative.

Every time I have been in a situation where a medically provided enema is possible, it takes all my negotiating skill to get one, or even get an endorsement for a self-administered one.

Enemas were an old age cure all handed down from mothers to their daughters. If we were spending a night at grandma’s house we knew we were all getting a bath and going to be on the bag for a good cleaning out if we liked it or not. As we got older the boys always knew who was in charge when we were to get our enemas. The girls as they got older were taught that douching was expected for proper feminine hygiene and their douche bag was never used for enemas.

My anecdotal observations lead me to believe there’s definitely a new wave of enema use for health and buttfun😜😍Humans have always been focused on what goes on “down there”🤪

I believe that enemas can come back "to the scene" as something with aesthetic purposes as in the case I told in a previous topic, however as something related to medicine it seems unlikely to me

Hi everyone, I replied to this thread a year ago, everything I stated then still stands. Enemas are being re-discovered. A number of young ladies I've met recently belong to the AO group - Anal Only. They site it being a natural birth control and having easier and stronger orgasms. After getting familiar with anal sex it's soon realized that a clean playground is an absolute must.

For beginners they recommend using a bulb enema several times before engaging in anal sex, then the more experienced soon decide that a bag enema a few hours before anal play works nicely. Add to all that the anal sex porn that nearly everyone is watching and yes anal is getting more main-stream - so are enemas.

Also coffee enemas are on the rise for health and wellness.

Just my thoughts on the topic...

BJ

Judging by all the enema items so openly sold online, especially on Amazon, a lot of people are into enemas.

ENEMAS making a "comeback??"

Very honestly, with media trends and a more open ideology concerning topics like anal sex…it’s not always loud and proud, but it’s there.

Everything from bad period cramps, cleanliness for anal play, detoxification processes and trends, etc…I’ve never had an actual relationship with someone who didn’t find some benefit. Not everyone finds them sexual, but to the ones I’ve spoken to since we parted ways, they all have a reason to clean out once in awhile.
