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.

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??"

Hell!!!.. Enemas never left!!!!

Just google "Enemas!!" for starter's and check out all the gear available on amazon...

Btw Kris "Kris'es Koffey Kleanse" Amelong started her site some 20 years ago if my math is even close to correct and it's still growing!!!!!

"COFFEE!!!!" it's not just for breakfast anymore!!!!

highwater

Here in the UK the word is rectal irrigation. Simple, controlled, clinical, none of that nasty enema stuff! https://www.macgregorhealthcare.com/qufora-irrisedo-flow/

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.

I believe so, but for the purpose of beauty or as preparation for anal sex.

If enemas were as popular as many of us think they are we’d be able to fin JBL enemas, lovely amber latex folding syringes, and those eroti looking pumpkin bags. I can only hope.

I think the wider availability of enema related products on the Internet has changed the purchasing habits of those that buy enema related items. Obviously there are not the larger nozzles, colon tubes, and so forth in such demand that most stores are going to have an inventory. Much easier for a purchase to be made on the Internet, same as when I buy my wife lingerie items. The second change however is the colon cleansing, detox, coffee enema use, that is expanding it would seem. While enema equipment may not be exactly something in the adult category, the sexual fetish world no doubt has benefitted from the Internet, it may have existed in large cities previously, but now it is available in rural America as well. More of us are becoming suspicious of profit motives of drug companies, and as a result would go towards a more basic method of dealing with most health issues. In looking through comments posted on Zity, because of the anonymity there is more openness to discuss the personal habits we would never talk about openly in our communities. As an example, it seems the modern day trend is to keep enema equipment well out of sight, not under a bathroom sink, hanging on the back of the bathroom door or shower head, and not in the linen closet on a shelf. In rural America however, and that would be our location, we have one or two enema bags or bulbs under a bathroom sink upstairs. Don't know if anyone has looked and noticed them, but at least one visitor has a fountain syringe hanging on her bathroom door, pretty hard to miss that, has been there for forty years I'm thinking. Doesn't seem to come up in conversation often or at all.

Nice website with instructional videos. They even have a “closed” bedside system to collect waste from bedridden patients.

@Thursdays_child It’s still an enema! 😀😀😀

Enemas probably yes, injections unfortunately not…

One can only hope that enemas make a comeback. Enemas are a simple and enjoyable remedy for simple constipation and they are fun to take even if you have no bowel problems. Just the word 'enema' gets things hard for me.

They can't do any harm if they did make a comeback providing that they are administered safely by a giver with reasonable competency and understanding.

If anything, a routine ritual (1x/week) of giving a generous water enema with a bit of salt and suitable soap, to a pre-teen and/or teenager will assist them in promoting and maintaining a reasonably good level of general health (must be performed in conjunction with good lifestyle practices - drinking 2 liters of water, healthy food, 8 hours of sleep).

Yes! I am a father of teenagers and as such I fully understand that the above-mentioned lifestyle list is impossible to implement with this 21st-century electronically digitally ultra-socially virtually connected teenage generation that will most likely graduate from secondary school and end up in some kind of sedentary job.

Primarily for these reasons that is why today's pre-teens and teenagers need so desperately to get acquainted with enemas NOW - for their personal health and general well-being.

I watch my sons and sometimes wonder how can it be that their periodic bad diet, low water intake, screentime, and insufficient amount of sleep, do not result in leaving them with turds jammed in their respective sigmoids like a cork in the neck of a wine bottle.

But my wife does not like enemas let alone any other activity associated with the anus other than having a shit. Also, she is not happy with me for having this fetish. Therefore, you can guess that I am the only one in this family who discreetly consumes enemas (self-administered).

But, then again, there is the possibility that they may make a significant comeback in the family circle here in Australia since the cost of living has skyrocketed, and what used to be free GP visits (paid by public healthcare taken out of our income tax) before Covid, are now almost non-existent. We had it easy for so long, meanwhile, the doctors and pharmaceuticals made plenty of money from consultations and manufacturing oral laxatives respectively. But at some point in time, the greater economic stress will bite even more than current and the tide will have to turn here down under. People will be forced to re-examine the old-fashioned low-cost natural health remedies. Maybe the same will happen in the United States and elsewhere.

Therefore, like many others like me here on Zity, I'm also hopeful that the general use of enemas within the family circle will make a comeback, not just for general health reasons, but also to introduce and help many of our teenagers develop a taste and passion for enemas like us, and thus keep the 'klismaphilia' flame burning.

I have a female relative who in almost all ways appreciates old remedies, old tools, doing things by hand, making meals from scratch etc. A few years ago I had a cold and she recommended using a “Nettie pot”, which I had never heard of. She explained it as a device which allows one to flush out their nasal passages. At that I mentioned that it sounded much like an enema which I use for stomach upsets or constipation. Her reaction was not positive! Why not just take a laxative?

That’s a long winded way to say that my guess is that common family enema use won’t be coming back anytime soon.

To answer this question reasonably, first ask,

"What caused them to disappear from the prominence and favor they had?"

The time was about 1955 as Elvis Presley was going on about his hound dog, being, "Nothing But a Hound Dog!" Simple as that. ( or was it his, "Nothing Butt" hound dog? ) Old Elvis, "Have Gun Will Travel", and "Howdy's Doody", oh and remember, "Captain Kangaroo"? Yea, that guy was really shaking them all up! Supposed to be a kid's show, however, all the adults were watching it.

That new newfangled got-ya TV, put all the enema bags, and nozzle collections down deep in the dirty clothes hamper. Grand-paw got him a directional high gain antenna with a positioning rotor to turn it just right for each station. Grand-maw continued her bag and hose treatments. Grand-paw laid his down in the closet. See, he had been reading about this futuristic vision machine from way back,, in the neighbor's comic books. He entered a new age. Grand-maw walked every where that grand-paw did not have time to drive her. She had seen a trainload or filth in her day. So,

Her enema was even a code of decency.

~~~~~~~~~

For me, it was 40 years later and stuck in a motel alone, night after night, and not wanting to mess up at one of the establishments. (see how that works?)

One night i went to one of those warm places to place small bets on home-caught Armadillo races. Next thing i knew i was holding hands with a local girl. She liked to place my hand on her belly when i won a $5. bet. I began to,,, "Daddy, Let Your Mind Roll On." I managed to disappear and from there.

Then home-made enema ideas started to develop.

We all have to admit, in 1955 hospitals were still obliging patients with comforting enema experiences. The doctors and hospitals, nor liability insurance cut them all up and threw them away. As a matter of fact, all through the 1980s you could still drool over drugstore enema apparatus collections. But very few were being sold. By the way, The main drugstore in an Oregon tourist town still has a soda, milk-shake and sandwich bar with fresh per order squeezed orange juice. Back hidden in the North-west corner are some serious enema offerings. Problem is, too many customers are going back there and fondling them till the display and boxes are frayed. So, naturally, as for a tourist, what is done is done, so i took my turn too!
