The enema guilt syndrome

I definitely had a lot of guilt from an early age about anything sexual. When my grandparents passed, I knew they were watching me from “heaven “ while I was playing with my special friend. I was very conflicted when I started my enema adventures at seventeen. That dichotomy of sin and pleasure continued into my adult life. I threw away my enema bags once or twice (of course)but once I committed to and accepted my wonderful “kinks” I created quite a collection of equipment😍

Yup, same here and wish I hadn't done that....

Having an enema was at the start done for medical reasons growing up. Having one as an aspect of play has been for enjoyment, which has been incredible but, at times, associated with some guilt as it is not readily acceptable as a social topic. That said, and thanks to this forum, it no longer resides in secret and that has done away with guilt. Go Zity!!

I got my last enema when I was 13. It was like a salvation for me.

At the beginning of my twenties I suddenly found myself in front of two large shop windows of a medical supply store in a big city. These were stuffed with all the things needed to administer enemas, things I didn't know before. I didn't know all the things people could come up with to get water up their asses.

My mind seemed to be going crazy...

on the one hand the reassuring feeling that mom certainly didn't know anything about this selection, on the other hand I had an inexplicable desire to try all these things; my behind seemed to let me know: don't you dare...

In the meantime, my pants were tight due to a violent erection; I felt like I was being watched by other passers-by who could surely read my mind... I felt like a schoolboy caught in all his misdeeds...

With a red head, palpitations and embarrassment, I bought my first equipment. The feeling of perverity dominated my thoughts as I made my first enemas with it.

Who could you talk to about it? That all changed for the first time when I had a girlfriend who was absolutely into it and attacked me with an irrigator and colon tube on my first date. Her argument that you have to be clean during sex convinced me.

That was the beginning of putting aside my bad feelings and only seeing the good and cool....

I think the only "guilt" I've felt is when I hear women complain about the intestinal problems they're having, and the thought of taking an enema or putting any medication up their behind totally freaks them out. It's not a big deal, ladies! Enemas might be what you need – and you could even discover you like them.

@Emom Maybe I'm abnormal but I never felt any guilt..........

Just the opposite; perfectly normal woman's reaction not to feel any guilt. Enema guilt seems to be a male thing. While I would break out in a cold sweat going into a store to buy an enema bag; gals I knew had no problem doing it.

This is therapeutic to read and see many of the replies. When younger, the guilt and throwing away and then buying the next bag is very familiar. For me the need for the next enema session could become overwhelming and the guilt took a back seat until the deed was done. Then the cycle would repeat. With age, sometimes wisdom does win out.

@reddevil “Enema guilt seems to be a male thing. While I would break out in a cold sweat going into a store to buy an enema bag; gals I knew had no problem doing it.”

Guilt never occurred to me when I bought my first enema bag in my early 20s at a medical supply store. More embarrassment than anything else as a clerk showed me rubber tubes that looked like they reach from my behind all the way into my stomach! I could feel my face turning that red as the tubes she was showing me! With what I’ve been through in the last 40 years with my insides, I wouldn’t have those feelings of embarrassment today.

I can’t say if enema guilt is exclusively male. For whatever reason, my older daughter was a little reluctant to tell me that she had purchased one of those new silicone bags. I only saw it for the first time when she moved back in with us for a few months during the COVID lockdown. I don’t think that was guilt. She can be very private at times, even though we are about as close as any mother and daughter could be.

“Enema guilt seems to be a male thing.

If there were ladies who felt guilt about sexual matters (and there most certainly were and still are) why would they not have felt guilt about enema related matters?

I think guilt is a gender-free and equal opportunity emotion.

Yes, true.... for some reason I simply knew gals who did not feel guilt. Might have been fun to have known some who did feel guilt/embarrassment.

@Vicki_V More embarrassment than anything else as a clerk showed me rubber tubes

Oh, to have overseen that taking place! Come to think of it; I've never in all my drug store/buying enema bags days never saw a woman on line or at the checkout with bag in hand.

@reddevil "I've never in all my drug store/buying enema bags days never saw a woman on line or at the checkout with bag in hand."

However, you'll likely see more women than men buying Fleet Enemas. My anecdotal observations over the years, plus a comment recently from my favorite pharmacist on who's buying these things, it's about 80-20 favoring the ladies.

While I may still feel some minor twinges of embarrassment when it comes to enemas, I don't know that guilt ever entered into the equation. I have been a collector of enema gear for decades, and have "liquidated" many items to keep things manageable, but this wasn't due to any "guilt syndrome". It had more to due with the potential of any successors who might have to deal with my hoarding of such an unusual collection or hobby.

While the boat, trailer, guns, vehicles, and other "valuables" may provide some enjoyment to my heirs, those beautiful enema bags, reminiscent of my childhood infatuation, aren't likely to be part of the tug of war in the end. I probably won't be blushing at a viewing or interment, but before the bitter end, I'd prefer to keep some things a bit secret.

After all, I hope all have fond memories of me for other accomplishments, not just a great collection of enema/douche memorabilia!

Fire works and cake! You enjoy enemas and used to feel guilty .Now your looking for approval or vindication from others.

Are you truly over the guilt? Or has the feeling of guilt became part of the fetish?

@sse4fun While the boat, trailer, guns, vehicles, and other "valuables" may provide some enjoyment to my heirs, those beautiful enema bags....

Would be shame if unbeknown to you a successor did value the discarded enema items.

I suppose that by liquidating much of my collection prior to that time, someone else may just get a charge out of possessing some of those items.

I'm unaware that those who might discover them, has any interest in keeping them, and would likely contribute them to the local landfill.

I will always keep certain items for regular usage. Victoria and Roxy (Roxbury) have always hung around and provide great service to this aging older fart. But, some of those items in reserve, are seldom put into service except in unique celebrations!
