Best to take an enema on an empty stomach, several hours after eating.

Maybe I'm alone here -- but as an adolescent the sight of the enema bag (just getting it out of the linen closet) was enough to provoke a huge BM. Some psycho-sexual trigger, knowing what was coming. Has died off very slowly over the years, partly due to a bigly enema-opponent wife for decades, and a few so-so partners since then. If I had married my first girl, from junior year in HS, might have had a very different tale to tell (she had a folding syringe clearly visible in her suitcase when she moved for her first job -- all it might have taken was for me to ask "what's the little nozzle for?") Oh well.

I prefer to have room in there for the enema. So bulb jobs to prep for the main event is my preference.

As I have posted before I get the most enjoyment when I have a full colon. It may go back to my youth when I would hold back to get an enema, ah the psyche...

And while it seems counterintuitive I find it essier to take an enema with a full colon than an empty one, but that's me, and as they say, results may vary.

When I traveled I would try colon therapists in different cities wherever I could. Most would suggest emptying my bladder first, always good advice, but a therapist in Dallas told me to go to the bathroom and empty my bladder and to have bowel movement. So I went in, sat down, urinated, waited a few minutes and came back saying I was unsuccessful. Of course I hadn't even tried.

And, as I have posted before, to this day I will hold back the day of a colonic.

If you're using a balloon catheter it's much nicer to empty first, either naturally or with a small enema. The balloon nozzle still works well, but it's harder to insert and removal/cleanup after the enema is not very pleasant sometimes :-\\ .

I don't worry about my rectum or sigmoid being empty or full. If they're full, I'll inject a little water with a small nozzle, and they're soon empty. Then I'm ready to get serious with a series of four or five gallon-bag fills to get my whole colon clean and empty.

I love starting out a serious enema session after a 36-hour fast when my stomach and small intestine almost empty. After I clean out my colon with several gallon bags, I get that absolutely clean and empty feeling I love.

I seem to enjoy a large enema more if my entire colon is mostly empty. The first enema or natural BM helps to clear part of the colon allowing for more water to be more comfortably retained. I usually take a 4 quart enema to begin with but if I haven't had a recent BM I can't seem to retain the enema for a very long period, however, after I've expelled my 4-quart enema first I seem to be able to retain another 4 quarts (or more) for a much longer period of time without much difficulty.

Me too, eboy24! My first enema is always smaller and harder to retain, unless I'm pretty empty to begin with from fasting and/or laxatives. I also always enjoy enemas more after I'm mostly empty. I've had a few 2-hour sessions with 10 or 15 gallon bags in a row, and I was expelling almost completely clear after bag number 5..

Enemas are fun both ways, empty or full to start. I agree that there is something very enjoyable about squeezing in and holding 3 or 4 quarts right off the bat with a fairly full colon. I always try for that with a well sealing retention nozzle. However, if I feel the urge to poop when I'm about to start an enema session, I usually do. I don't think I've ever intentionally held a BM just to get a more dramatic enema expulsion, but I might try that once just to see what it's like.

A big part of the reason I take enemas is to keep things moving, so taking a laxative would obviate the need for the enema (as long as it worked, sometimes laxatives take a while and often they are uncomfortable).

I go ahead and take a smaller SSE and don't retain it much and that works very well, and if I'm going to continue with "fun enemas" it gets things ready.

There is one thing I do really notice that you didn't put down. In addition to the first enema being smaller and harder to retain it's also often more uncomfortable to take, with more periods of urgency, feeling very full, and some cramping that I don't notice nearly as much in subsequent enemas.

As much as I love both the concept and sensation of being given an enema because I need to go, it's just not practical. If going naturally beforehand isn't possible, a suppository can help...especially if the suppository is an ordeal of its' own.

@hoseman. " Maybe I'm alone here -- but as an adolescent the sight of the enema bag (just getting it out of the linen closet) was enough to provoke a huge BM. Some psycho-sexual trigger, knowing what was coming."

You are not alone. Simply getting the bag and bathroom ready for a session is all I need to induce that "feeling".

I like to take a full 2 qts every time, so to make that easier I like to be empty before I start. There's no protocol or any big regiment to it, I will just use the toilet within a few hrs of playing with an enema. If I can go, I go, if not, I'll do the enema anyway!

I am usually full when I take an enema. So I never tried to have a BM before hand. I mean that is point to get clean or cleaned out. Or maybe for sexual tension.

I generally always "try" (in the sense of sitting and relaxing for a while) to let my body work. Sometimes it does, but if I've got the enema already mixed up I take it anyway (shame to waste it, right?). If my body is willing to do what it's supposed to I'm not going to stand it its way. Many times it doesn't really want to, so the enema is taken on a full colon.

I've had some times where things flip a bit in the opposite direction from straight constipation (though not to full diarrhea). I'll let my intestines do their thing then and usually follow with an enema to help things calm down (maybe, then again maybe it's 100% placebo - but either way I'm feeling better afterwards).

I don't "try" in the sense of pushing because I've started having issues with hemorrhoids (which are supposed to be aggravated by pushing) and I have a varicocele which flares up more when I bear down or push.

For me, it depends what I'm aiming for with this enema

If I want to take as much water as possible, I'll empty first. If I just want to feel good, the nozzle is going in directly.

I don't take cleanout enemas because the first enema I take always cramps the least, so I can get the most water in.

I tend to like being full even if I can't take as much or hold as long.

I like to be needing a bm .For some reason I can take more water when I am

Full. I also seem to be able to hold it a little longer as well.

I am always sexually stimulated when a enema is going in , oh the flow and the fill

Really gets me going !!

Sometimes I will take a series of 3 or 4 enemas and wait until the last one to cum. Sort of work myself up to a very hot explosion. Love it !!!!!

I do prefer to be as empty as possible before. I have recently tried it without first emptying, but it took a long time to get 2 qts in and there was a lot of feelings of pressure and fullness.

Waiting 2-3 hours seems to work out without to many problems

I always prefer an empty stomach. If not empty, well settled a few hours after eating any large meal. The few times that I have attempted to take an enema on a full stomach I have experienced nausea and discomfort that distracts from the soapy cramps.

I prefer to begin with a rather full colon. Part of the erotic charge for me is "needing" an enema. I find the challenge of taking the full enema and enduring the cramps make the release and expulsion all the more enjoyable. If my goal is to do a thorough cleaning it is gratifying to notice the results go from "chunky" blasts to liquid gushes during a multiple enema session.

It is interesting. If I know I’m going to get an enema, I get the urge for a BM and usually have a large one. I think somehow my colon knows what’s coming and prepares.

I would say going naturally first. That way it leaves more room for the enema liquid, plus it serves as a good back up to make sure you got all your fecal matter out of your system. You can also feel everything so much better as the liquid spurts out of the nozzle going into your rectum and bowels. Oh what a feeling !!!

I usually try to empty beforehand if there is a need to go or sometimes use a suppository to clear the rectum which makes room for my double balloon nozzle.

I like early in mornings, usually after I've had my coffee, which produces a BM in about 15 mins. I'd rather be mostly empty when I start my sessions.

I always like to have a good poop before I insert anything liquid or solid into my rectum, it also eliminates a lot of mess when you are done playing.

I prefer an empty stomach and I also try to use the toilet first. I find no pleasure in filling my bum with water and finding it blocked by poo. In the case of the occasional constipation, during travel for instance, this cannot be helped and it is a real relief for the bloating and fullness that I find uncomfortable.

I always start with an empty stomach Just makes the whole enema easier

I am not a medical person... but having been into enemas for 30 years, I've always found that its FAR easier on an empty stomach.

Yes absolutely
