Request for advice re: Colon Hydrotherapy

Hello,

*** I'm looking for advice from those of you who have repeatedly used the same colon hydrotherapist, now, or in the recent past.***

Please excuse an introvert as he attempts to look for advice. This took a few drafts/days to write. Please be kind. It is difficult to reach out, but from what I have read, some of you have had some of the same experiences. (One of the great things about zity)

A little background: I've had just over a handful of appointments with this hydrotherapist over the years. (I'm trying not to share too much about her or our appointments in a public forum.) They have been yearly until now, but due to recent stress, my appointment this weekend is seven months after the last. We have developed a comfortable hydrotherapist/client relationship. When we first started, she only provided a probiotic enema in a small bottle, after the colonic. As we discussed my use of enemas, she eventually encouraged me to bring my own equipment (Like some of you). While using my equipment, I introduced her to the idea of offering coffee enemas to her clients. She now offers coffee enemas on her website.

Nothing has been sexual. Never asked for or offered. And not what I am looking for.

She is VERY discreet about her other clients, but I do know I'm not the only one she allows to bring their own equipment. Obviously, she seems open to trying new ideas.

It is AMAZING to me that I have someone that I can discuss this with, and is supportive of my use of enemas. I believe it is genuine as I doubt my yearly appointment makes or breaks the bank for her. Colonics are nowhere near as accepted in my area as they are in NYC. There are only two colon hydrotherapist in my immediate area. But we are not friends outside of our appointments.

The question: Have any of you accidentally crossed a line with your hydrotherapist? I have brought different equipment over the years, and none of it phased her. All of it traditional or medically based. Now I'm bringing a nozzle from cleanstream that is a bit farther afield. I always tell her she can say no, and she seems curious about what I bring. I wonder if I need to hold back as her curiosity might only go so far. For example: I'm not bringing the vibrating nozzle, as it seems too sexual.

Have any of you had good experiences in this light? Any bad? Perhaps gone too far, but have been able to apologize and continue with the same colon hydrotherapist?

Thank you for reading all of that. If any of you have similar experiences, please feel free to message me directly or, if you feel comfortable, post your reply here.

My relationship with the colon hydrotherapist I see goes back almost a decade. I don’t schedule very regularly either, but she is fine with that.

I brought up enemas early on with her to gauge her reaction and I was pleased when she readily began to discuss them, and her use of them. She takes enemas several times a week. So I asked if she would help me with them as part of a hydro session and she agreed. Her reaction when I brought my Klystra 4 quart bag and barium enema nozzle was priceless! She uses a 2 quart bag and a stainless steel bucket for coffee and couldn’t believe I had such a big bag. The first time I brought equipment with me to an appointment, I threw in the previously mentioned bag/nozzle, a bulb syringe, a 42 French 3 foot colon tube, and a smaller Silicone nozzles nozzle to see what she would pick to use (the bag and Silicone nozzle). I’m taking a new nozzle with me for my next appointment, which is next Monday and can’t wait to see what she says about it. Fortunately, she doesn’t hesitate to give me soapy enemas, although she has questioned the volume.

There has been nothing sexual about this and neither of us would go there. But she does understand the anally erotic aspect of it.

Hmmm.. perhaps there were fewer of you than I thought, lol! Thank you to the zity members that did respond. :-)

Colon hydrotherapists vary in their opinion of enemas

Generally, a therapist who has an open system, like an Angel of Water or Libbe, will have nothing to do with giving enemas Such a therapist has told me she personally takes them sometimes at home when needed, but she much prefers to have a private session with her machine. If you think about it, there is really little difference between being on an open machine and lying on one's back in a tub taking an enema from a bag, so this is not a surprise.

The situation is quite different with a closed machine, at least if you are somewhat constipated That's why the therapist asks you about your bowel habits on the intake form. Some people poo regularly every day or even after every meal. With such clients, the therapist knows there probably won't be any hard poo to clog the speculum during the release, which can make a huge, smelly mess. To be certain, such clients are sometimes given an initial fill ‘to be taken to the toilet’ If the therapist knows a client tends to constipation, she may well suggest a mild laxative be taken the night before the session A dose of Milk of Magnesia, not enough necessarily enough to force a poo, can really soften things up and get a session off to an easy, productive start

But some clients who tend to constipation may well not want to take the laxative Such clients are good candidates for the starter enema. The therapists that are good with this tend to be retired nurses After all, they have probably given many enemas in their careers and had to deal with accidents In reality, it's probably much less effort to fill a bag,, give a client the enema, and wait while they poo it out, than to clean up the treatment table and floor and change all the linen, etc after a clogged speculum accident.

A therapist probably has concerns with using your equipment related to cleanup, etc If you bring in a giant bag, her concern is likely to be can you hold all that water or are you going to lose some or all of it between the treatment table and the toilet Similar concerns apply to other equipment The therapist is probably most concerned about injuring you with retention nozzles or equipment failure causing giant messes Also the more unusual the equipment is, the bigger chance the therapist will decline

Also, if you bring your own equipment, don't expect the therapist to clean and sterilize it for you. About all that you can reasonably expect is that she will empty the bag and hose, wash off any visible poo, and give the stuff a rinse before putting it in a storage bag for you to take home and clean

Generally, I've had little difficulty with a therapist giving enemas with a full-length Fr 32 colon tube, which used to be done routinely in hospitals Coffee enemas at the end of a session have also not been a problem, except for retention time.

If you make reasonable requests, keeping in mind that a colon therapist is NOT a sex worker, and be considerate of her effort, you can probably get pretty much what you'd like

BagMe53 and Sean - Thank you for sharing your experiences with me! I think you were both right on the money. I guess I will continue as I began; hoping, but not expecting, and always reminding her I won't mind if she says no. Heck, I'd go back to just colonics and 1 quart coffee enemas, and still love the appointments. :-)

BagMe53 - My hydrotherapist seems very open to going with the flow, lol. And she was amazed the first time she helped me take a 2.5 quart coffee enema. (My hard stop is 3 quarts.) Now it's old hat with us, and I'm sure others are doing similar things with her.

Sean - My hydrotherapist is nice enough to wash everything out while I'm using the toilet. I tell her she doesn't need to, but she insists. Your hydrotherapist uses a colon tube on you? Wow. I have NO experience with those. Maybe someday…

Thanks again!

When making requests of your therapist, try to think of your request from her point of view. ie: Does what you are asking require a lot more effort on her part? Is the request for something too close to a sex act? if either, the answer may well be no.

I've also been told of clients that have big, messy accidents, and never get another appointment. No surprise. Very few enjoy cleaning up someone else's poo.

My first line Colon Hyrotherapist is ME! I have my own machine which I use approximately once a week to autoadminister closed tube colonics. As to enemas, before I get off of my machine, I take one last fill, which is approximately four quarts. I retain this fill as an enema for expulsion into the toilet. I have found that with this last fill/enema from the machine, I deficate fecal material that was not discharged during my session on the machine.

At approximately six week intervals, I take a trip to Connecticut for a colonic from my procticioner who is in every way a professional. Routinely, she inquires if I took an enema before my visit, which I normally had. I never have asked her to administer an enema to me since the colonic takes care of that function. Also consider that she has legal considerations to observe such as sexual harassment and possibly malpractice. During my visits with her, we have discussed a wide variety of subjects such as politics, parapsycology, religeon and technologic techniques as to colonics. I have never asked her to give me an enema and doubt that I ever will since enemas are not part of her practice.

I usually take an enema before my professional visits and another one afterward because an enema a day keeps the doctor away!
