“what is an enema?” was among the top 5 health questions asked on Google.

I was quite surprised to learn, according to a YT video I watched today, that “what is an enema?” was among the top 5 health questions asked on Google. I have not checked this, but since many are saying “enemas are over,” it's quite apparent they are not.

This was the 2nd topic mentioned as among the top 5…

Anyone born after 1970 almost certainly has never been on the receiving end of an enema or douche bag. If they have had an enema or douche it was almost certainly a disposable like a Fleet or a Summer's Eve

This change happened because of books on child raising, the feminist movement, and a lot of Fleet Company marketing dollars

I must say that I consider myself lucky to grow up during the middle to late 1960s because the good old enema bag was still widely in use and I was fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of the nozzle. The younger generation has no idea the good feelings that an old fashioned warm soap suds enema can bring to a person. It is a shame that this is a “take a pill or disposable” society. Oh, you are constipated, just take this pill and in about four hours you will be rushing to the bathroom for a painful evacuation or if “Heaven forbid” I have to slip the tip of this bottle inside of you and squeeze for a very not pleasant ending. The other problem is today's parental thinking. You did what to your son or daughter? You are a pervert and someone would call ACS on you for abuse. Forget the sexual feeling an adult would feel being on the receiving end of the nozzle, think of the immediate relief you would get from getting an enema. When I was a kid and I did not feel well and was sluggish, in about ten minutes you would be feeling much better and relieved from a good enema. The by-product of this procedure was that I also enjoy it but that is only me.

Got a link to the YouTube video?

One clear sign of the “vanishing enema” in the U.S., is that most drug stores (including the major chains) and grocery stores no longer stock ANY enema bags at all, and few (if any) douche bags (in the feminine hygiene section). No wonder folks out there wonder what getting an enema is like (not a bottle Fleet enema). It's hard to get a “real enema” if you can't get an enema bag ! (VERY, VERY SAD)

Here's the link. It's from 2016, not more recent, as I originally thought. I sometimes hate how Google does its searches…

I respectfully disagree with a few here. Check out the listings on THAT ON LINE RETAILER for enemas, nozzles colon tubes etc. There are a number of other on line retailers as well offering lots of enema devices as well as exotic recipe ingredients, lubricants and more.

Yes the pharmacies are out of the syringe business. People don't want to carry that stuff to a cashier. A cashier who in most small towns would know them or members of their family. Anonymous on line is more private, offering hundreds of nozzles that were never available in the last century. Hopefully, the new regime at Silicone Nozzles will add many more of such desirable products at lower pricing.

But for now, unless you are at the extreme end of the culture (about which there is absolutely nothing wrong mind you) we seem to have it pretty good.

I seriously doubt that people not wanting to carry the stuff to the cashier has anything to do with it. My father founded a chain of pharmacies. He dropped most apothecary items years ago because of space. He installed electronic kiosks with catalogs of such items. The customer merely picked out what they wanted and ordered it. A printer on the kiosk printed out a ship like ordering a sandwich at a modern-day convenience story. You paid at the register and the item was delivered that afternoon at the customer's redience. He then used the created space in his pharmacies for greeting cards and novelty items. The move proved extremely profitable. Profit was the motivating factor, not customer shyness.

If you're a Dom, the embarrassment and shyness (your sub's) is part of the fun. The Dom comes in a suit and tie, the sub in a demure sundress or other garment that identifies her as the “junior…” she makes the selections (you guide her, take time to discuss), make your sub go to the counter with you, and hand her the cash to pay for it as you stand beside her and watch. She has to buy the bag etc., AND lubricant (traditionally Vaseline), along with a rectal thermometer, some aspirin, and a bottle of glycerin suppositories, plus some liquid Castile, if they carry it. Maybe gloves…it's beneficial to “forget” something and make her go back and get it, such as the vaseline…

Call after her, “Hurry, Honey! We need to get you home and get you fixed up.” (or, “so I can get you fixed up”)

@ddell2

You are correct IMO. Syringes take up a lot of shelf space and probably are slow sellers. Businesses are ALL about profit.

My you're diabolical. I like it. I once made my late partner get a fleet off the clearance bin in the front of the store and buy it. Boy was she red. I took her right to the room and made her ask me nicely for it.

Now I am wondering if a business model of giving enemas is in order now like they used to do well over a century ago. I do know there are many politicians in need of an enema series… 😃

Here at the Enema Clinic we can only observe and report. Our business has quadrupled this past year. We see a large percentage of our clients in the Millennial age group. The majority are woman, seeking answers to questions concerning their physical and mental health. We are not at all surprised at this figure.

I agree this is not the reason enema bags have disappeared from shelves. As @Sean said…

If it doesn't sell fast enough the stores won't carry it for long.

Maybe I was one of the lucky ones. As a kid in the late 1970s early 1980s my mom had problems potty training me and took me to see a doctor. I guess it got to a point where I got pretty backed up because I held back when getting the urge to go poop.

The doctor tried suppositories and fleet enemas which never really worked for me. The doctor also tried laxatives which only made me feel like I had to go more to which I just held back more.

The doctor figured to get me going he needed to use the old fashioned enema bag. They were kind of rare by this time but the doctor figured it was a last resort to help me go. I was luckly I had the chance to be introduced to enemas like this. As a young boy I hated them but had a strange feeling toward them. Hated all the loss of control of my BMs but I loved the feelings I had while given the enemas. All I can describe was getting a tickle feeling as I was given the enemas. In other words I deep inside loved the feelings of being given enemas. Years later I still think about those days and my member gets rock hard. LOL…. I wish more people would understand how amazing having enemas are. It seems like there are very few…

Would you care to elaborate? I find that “moderns” are now the ones discussing this. Back in the 1990’s, when usenet was still a “thing,” it was mostly the “40+” age bracket, though quite a few of the women to whom I gave enemas were younger. Many had never had an enema.
