Standing up while taking an enema

How often, even though it’s quite unorthodox, do you take an enema standing up?

What's the difference from standing up to sitting on the toilet… just sitting your knees are bent. I mostly do mine on toilet or standing given the lack of space in my bathroom and leakage problems. Also you have to hang the bag higher.

Its a pain because gravity ends up winning

Standing while filling is hard for me if I am doing a bag enema. Essentially the enema fills from the bottom up or fills my rectum and then rises up from there. When I have a full rectum of an enema solution, the urge to expel is very intense and I really can't make it through a two quart enema. So I always lie down when giving myself an enema and will elevate my hips to help drain the enema up into my colon vs. filling my rectum. I also find this technique reduces cramps which I try to avoid.

The only time I stand and give myself an enema is when I might be doing a quick rinse with my shower shot and that is intended to flush out and clean my my rectum for anal play. The actual volume that is retained is minimal because I am filling and expelling constantly.

But if for practical reasons or preference you need/want to stand while receiving an enema don't hesitate. It's better to give yourself an enema than to miss an opportunity to indulge.

As for standing up while taking an enema, I have done it before. Yes, it harder to hold it in or even take it as the water tends to obey the rules of gravity and want to go down and not up. The only way I can take it standing up is with one of those double balloon inflatable nozzles in my butt.

Now if you really want a good enema, try taking it hanging upside down by your ankles. Again, remember that water will take gravity in mind and want to flow down. It will go in deeper and faster that way. Of course, the real experience is to do it that way and take a large enema. It will fill you deeper and clean you out really good.

I quite like standing up while taking an enema. That may be due to my taking them that way as an adolescent from a bag while in the shower. I got quite good at it and was routinely able to take and hold 5 quarts of warm water.

Granted, it's not as relaxing as laying on your back with your muscles basically relaxed and the internal organs not adding pressure to the colon. But you're likely going to lose the retention battle because of peristaltic contractions, not gravity ( unless youarereally, really well plugged). Surprisingly, my largest enemas have happened when standing. I wouldn't have expected that.

Besides, there's nothing quite like shaving with a nozzle in my ass and the warmth of the enema solution flowing into me. It's a great view in the mirror.

I normally give myself an enema standing up. True, it's harder to hold a full bag, but it's a quick way to clean oneself out .

When standing for an enema, if I feel the pressure to expel, I bend over and let my belly hang as relaxed as possible until the urge passes. I like to stand so I can also masturbate while the warm water is flowing in and watch in the full-length mirror. I like to watch the old man in the mirror enjoying himself.

I do sometimes while taking a shower. It helps sometimes to bend over at the waist as quite a bit of water has enter into you. Also, using a bigger nozzle and minimal lube helps the nozzle stay in place without holding it. Denise

I think standing up is the same as taking one sitting on the toilet. Will it work? Yes but it makes for a more difficult, less effective enema. I prefer knee chest or laying with left leg up. Much easier!

Most every time I fill up I am standing. I guess I could get more in by relaxing all those muscles and lying down, but I always like the added mobility I get by already standing when the final urge hits that I must let it go…now! If you’re lying down and you wait too long and still have to fight gravity to get up to travel to the toilet, there’s just more chance of having a messy accident. I can get 2.5 quarts in while standing, so I figure that’s a good amount. I’m up for suggestions, though.

After I had each of my two hip replacements, my wife, bless her soul, would give me my enemas standing up since it was most difficult for me to get up from lying on the floor. The knee chest position was out of the question. Did I enjoy the enemas as much as I do in the knee chest position, no!

Not when I can help it!!

I really want the enema to propagate through the large intestine. Does not happen standing up. The whole thing stays in the first foot or so. What's the point??

Stand up, sitting on a toilet, lying down or best of all a colonic by my beloved therapist. All ways to cleanse my bowel. I would prefer to take my enema lying down and ideally with lots of time to allow me to refresh and relax. However there are times when situation means that standing or sitting are the only options. So needs must.

@LisaK what are your feelings on a 36" colon tube? I find they really work for a deep cleaning…

I have enjoyed taking enemas standing up for many years. Its nice for an erotic shower enema combo…. Allows for some nice overall body pleasure as well as a safe place to be in case of a unexpected purge. :-)

Never used a colon tube.

Don't even own one.

At our old house, we had a toilet in the basement so taking an enema could be done if performed quickly to avoid any discovery. I did a few standing up in the cellar. I don't remember that they were especially enjoyable or that I took a full bag. I had concealed an old bag, hose and nozzle for such occasions. The old cellar floor was not especially clean so lying down or even the knee-chest was not desirable. I was able to hang the bag on a close line. That gave about four feet of height above my butt which was sufficient for a good flow.

Yes, I've taken any number of bag enemas in the shower. It doesn't bother me.

It's actually only recently that I've gone back to taking them predominantly on all fours.

When doing a series of pre-finale clean outs I'll take 1 or 2 sea salt bags standing and expelling in my shower. Then when clear a 3 ½ alcohol and water bag in bed for a great finish. Very relaxing and yes, OMG, I know my limits. Alcohol enemas I've done since I was 19.

Tried it a while back and didn't like it. More cramps going in and retention time for me is not as good. Maybe that's a plus for some, but when I have time to take an enema I want to relax and enjoy the experience which is why I kneel head down, lie on my side or occasionally lay on my stomach.

Sometimes, one just does what one has to do. Any enema is a good enema, some are just better than others, and others may be unforgettable.

Even though it may be unorthodox to take an enema standing up, I have often been forced to do it. Since gravity will kick in and try to pull the water down, instead of allow it to go up unless it is pumped in, that does make if harder to take an enema and hold it in. The Dom doing this to me told me that if anything leaks out, I would get a good hard spanking for it afterward. Fortunately, I have never had more than a quart put in me that way.

As for another way to be forced to take and enema, I have often had enemas while hanging upside down by my ankles. Again, gravity will kick in and do its job. However, this time it will not try to pull the water, or enema fluid out of you, it will try to pull it into you even faster and you will fill up much faster that way. I have had Doms do it to me upside down hanging by my ankles many time and have had not just one quart, but several quarts, even two gallons, put in me that way. No, it was not very comfortable and yes, it did make me have to throw up from it.

As for doing that today, I would consider it if the circumstances for it were right and I had not eaten much for at least 10 hours before the enema and had used the toilet at least twice before it was given. I would discuss that with the Dom first.

No. The closest thing was a double Dom session I was doing. I was kneeling going down on one while the other kinda came up and inserted the enema nozzle. She proceeded to give me a full bag while kneeling and going down on the other Dom. Needless to say I was quite distracted and took the entire bag…

Only when I'm taking shower. It's so hard to hold it in and the cramps…

My wife and I have been engaging in ‘enemasex’ throughout our 44-year marriage. Our preference is to have intercourse while filling/holding. Hanging the 4-quart bag from our IV pole that extends to 7', I will take a standing enema while she lays at the end of our massage table, with me standing between and holding her legs as we fuck and I fill. Even the movement of the nozzle caused by the hose swinging with my thrusts causes stimulation. I have no idea the “effectiveness” in terms of cleaning me out, but can say, unequivocally, that the pleasure quotient is highly effective.

Let me start by saying most of my enemas are not for a cleanout, but just for fun. So most times it is not necessary for me to be completely filled to the end of my colon. I have in the past, and still do have quite a few stand up enemas, especially what I call a “quickie” where the goal is to empty the rectum but not necessarily the whole colon.

This started as a teenager when I wanted or needed an enema but didn't have a lot of time. I would run warm water in the sink, fill the bulb, and standing with my feet about shoulder width apart lean forward reaching between my legs, insert and squeeze. Repeat from two to four times. Then to the toilet and let it out. Repeat if necessary and time permits. My sister and I did this, sometimes together, when mom and dad were out and I taught my best friend how to do it after school too. Quick and easy with little prep and cleanup.

I still do this today sometimes, prior to heading out shopping, to a ball game, or a road trip just to be sure I do not need to use the ladies room to poop while I am out. My first enemas from mom were with a bulb, and I have worn out several bulbs since.

@Cheryl77177, O my gosh, how many times I have and still do exactly what you describe in your post #27., and those for pleasure, YUP! My entire life, well as far back as a kid, that I can remember. When I read your post I thought I was in a parallel universe.

When I'm in the shower, I have a valve to slow the flow, unscrew the shower head and screw on a long beaded enema nozzle. First bead is small then a larger one. A little soap on my butt hole and it slips right in while I spread my legs wide. This time of year, I have the small window open, looking out. If the ladies walking by only new I had a nozzle deep in my butt and water shooting in me, wonder what they would think as they walked by and knew that?

Standing is more comfortable than sitting on the toilet, even with a retention nozzle. I find it a different experience than lying down or on all fours. If I need more pressure, I can bend down and let more flow in, if I need a break without a full stop, I return to the vertical position. It's also slower, and the pressure distribution is different. I won't take all of my enemas this way (this would make sessions last forever), but once in a while it could be a good break from a routine.
