Doctors view on enemas

I have been wondering if there are any physicians on this site or if anyone has talked to there doctor about using enemas. I would like to know why the decline in popularity. And were enemas a excuse for sexual pleasure during the 50's?

^^^^ I think enemas have always been used for sexual pleasure.

i don't think the generations since the 1950's invented anything new, just talked about it more.

I was a patient in a childrens hospital from 1937 to 1949.Enemas were commonly used when prepping for surgery or when one did not have a BM for three days.Times have changed since then,medical procedures and medicinces have eliminated some of the things they use to do way back when,such as enemas.The concern with AIDS and the labor cost in hospitals is another reason for the decline in enemas.

Believe me,I would love to return to those days when the nurses would wheel me away to a seperate room and say to me,"YOU'RE HAVING AN ENEMA TODAY"

Doctors' views on anything should be strictly scientific; but this is not an ideal world, is it? Like the rest of us, they get influenced by public opinion (culture) and by money. Especially money!

There's more money to be made selling laxatives and suppositories than there is in selling enema gear that lasts for years! And the lawyers who have made safety an such a huge issue in our lives are right there too (culture)! Enemas may be dangerous! And if my client so much as develops an itchy ass a month after taking an enema, I WILL sue the pants off your own ass, doctor!

For the same reason our parks don't have swings or slides; jungle gyms are only found in private yards, and in Britain kids can't climb trees in public places... Too dangerous. Aintcha glad we had our childhood before society got hung up like this?

And I thoroughly agree with Susie - enemas have ALWAYS been used for pleasure. Anybody out there beside me read 'The Satyricon' by a Roman called Petronius? He died maybe 1800 years ago. It's a raunchy story! It's available, too, in translation and it can teach most of us thing or two about anal...

A few years ago I was hospitalized for a heart problem. I did recieve nearly every intrusive thing you could think of with a notable exception of enemas. Catheter, bedpan, shots in the butt, you name it I probably had it done. I think my IV had some form of "happy juice" in it and I don't remember a lot of the first several days clearly.

After I left the hospital and was seeing the cardiologist often for followups, I mentioned that I sometimes took a "Fleet" for occasional constipation, especially during or after travel ( OK, I didn't tell him everything about my enema use!). Since I was and still am on a low sodium diet, he said not to use a Fleet EVER due to the salt/sodium content. His suggestion was to use a bag or bulb with plain water when I felt I needed an enema. So I guess I'm just following Dr.s orders when I fill the good ol' bag.

Most Doctors that I know are either closed mouth on the subject or joke about it and don't get personal. However, during nursing school, I convinced an intern to give me monthly enemas for my menstrual cramps. I found this very exciting and fantasized marrying a doctor who would enjoy my fetish. It never happened. I married an intolerant and insensitive slob who only thought of himself.

Kathy;We all makes mistakes in life and sometimes for the wrong reason.There is somone out there who can forefill your dreams and fantansies for endless enjoyment of enemas.But,you have to make the call.

Sorry to hear that Kathy. I didn't marry a slob, or whatever, but did marry a gal that said she was fine with my enema fetish BEFORE we were married, and has since changed her mind on it. Now that is VERY frustrating.
