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

I much prefer to at least empty my rectum prior to a large volume enema. I'll generally take a couple of fills from a fleet sized bulb. It makes a 2 or 3 quart soap and water fill much easier.

It depends upon which diameter tube I am going to use. My 36fr tube generally won't navigate through any major presence of fecal matter. It is neither large enough or firm enough to deal with that and all the complexities of turns. I can sometimes fill with an enema solution to get the tube through fairly deep. But it is pretty difficult without "pre-cleaning."

My 122fr tubes are large enough in diameter (1.6 inches) that they will more likely push material back up the colon until the it can get back to the point where the colon can expand enough that the tube can go around or through whatever is there. I can feel "very full" at those points before I allow any solution volume to flow. So, using this diameter tube generally requires a pre-cleaning.

My 75fr tubes (1.0 inch diameter), however, will pass through or around most anything without much effort or without dragging much matter back up into the colon. Even with the rectum pretty full ready for a BM, this diameter tube (and stiffness) will usually find its way through. And getting that diameter tube all the way into the transverse colon to introduce a nice warm enema solution is quite excellent. Soapy solutions are great, salt and bicarbonate are less explosive (I describe it as soothing). And while the sensation of expelling mostly liquid from deep inside me is quite pleasurable, the sensation of the softened clumps being pushed out and through the the lower colon by the solution introduced from very high in the colon is orgasmic. The best sensations are generated by a mixture of soap and J-lube. That solution is particularly "slippery" so that everything is really well lubricated as it is pushed through and out the lower colon by 3-4 liters of a nice warm enema solution.

Yes, it can be "messy" to take enemas this way and, obviously, it is a matter of personal taste (and maybe more so if you are sharing the experience with someone else). But if I'm looking for maximum sensory stimulation from an enema, I will spend the time for deep insertion of one of my tubes and let the "shit flow downhill."

YMMV!

Count me among the "empty rectum" bunch! I enjoy the sensations of the nozzle slipping in unabated...plus, I hate dealing with a poopy nozzle.

Just yesterday, I took a small bulb enema to get things moving before I got out my bag. It was worth it to me when my bag enema session started and the squishy silicone nozzle slipped in unimpeded. That's a thrill unto itself!

I like to empty out first too. Tonight I came home and took a bisacodyle suppository with a Sephure applicator. This thoroughly cleaned me out. As soon as I finish cleaning up the kitchen, I'm going for 3 qts of baking soda solution. It's much more comfortable this way.

Better to clean out first. More fun that way

I almost always start off with a couple bulbs full of warm water, using the small straight pipe to clear the course before I take a larger bag enema. If not, I never know if how much volume I'll be able to withstand - plus I like to make sure I have an unobstructed space to accommodate a deep seated retention nozzle for a larger enema.

If I empty first, it spoils the enema for me. I definitely prefer a full rectum when I start and I take a full bag the first time if possible. Also, I hold my bm the day before an enema if I can.

I too prefer a full rectum when I take an enema. I think the experience is more intense with a full bowel. After all, the original purpose of an enema is to make your bowels move. It is harder to take and hold a soapy enema with a full bowel, but I enjoy the feeling as the solid lumps shoot past my prostate during the expulsion.

I agree with Buddy....start 'full' and give it Hell! (Snowflakes and pussies beware!)

Full feels much better in my opinion.

I've found that it's more comfortable to take a large volume enema when the rectum and colon(s) are empty. Sometimes this might require a smaller enema beforehand if you can't have a natural BM but once the majority of the solid waste is removed it's so much easier to take a larger volume of water. I've also found that taking enemas on an empty tummy is much more pleasurable and sexually arousing, and the other advantage is that you're usually able to expel cleaner water which is fun to do and watch since I don't really enjoy seeing dirty water being expelled from someone in a video or in real life but I've yet to see an enema being expelled by someone else in real life...

I prefer to take a fairly large enema with empty bowels, it avoids among other cramps.

So I generally take a bulb enema with soapy water before.

Then I have plenty of time to absorb the large plain warm water, and enjoy it.

I generally will opt for BM first- take care of business first and then settle in for some real pleasure.

That way I can take more volume comfortably and slowly work into my session. My enemas are for pure pleasure and getting off to a clean start in my rectum helps make the enema sensations much more enjoyable, relaxing, and ultimately more erotic.

I like to have a BM 1st or sometimes will insert 4 suppositories first to clear the way for my soapy 2qts.

Usually, I will begin filling with a full rectum. Getting as much as possible in before the pressure and cramp cause a forceful expulsion. I can then for at 3+ quart fill. Sometimes, a hand free orgasm occurs while I am trying to hold in the initial fill.

My nurse always injects an oz of glycerin on a full colon. after a 5 to 10 min wait, administers the full 3qt soapsuds enema.

I like to start with an empty rectal cavity myself; I start my session with a small suppository I make out of some glycerin soap I have. The suppository takes effect on me within five minutes; I evacuate and get ready for the main event. Having my rectum cleared, I can count on the nozzle sliding all the way "home" on the first attempt. It also ensures the holes in the nozzle are not clogged unexpectedly with scat.

I like to empty out the fecal material before getting serious about a proper, sensual, erotic enema. i have a hard time holding much of an enema anyway, so if there is a lot of fecal matter in the colon I can hold even less than I want. I have a series (2-3) of small soapsuds enemas, then larger ones until clean. Then I can indulge myself with a nice slow, sensual enema or two for pleasure only!

I like a full rectum sometimes as this gives me an "excuse" for an enema. When giving to others, I like to do a rectal exam to see if there's "anything up there". If there is, I'll give the guy a suppository first, pushing it as far up his rectum as my finger will go and then holding it there for a minute or two to make sure the suppository melts and doesn't slip out (have had that happen a few times). If no bowel movement is produced within 20-30 minutes, I will inject a small soapy enema with a bulb syringe and wait again and then repeat every 5 minutes until he finally has to go empty himself. The larger enemas follow soon after.

I like to start with a full rectum. One reason why I give myself enemas is the wonderful feeling of having a clean, empty colon. I find the process of cleaning it out very enjoyable. This includes the expulsion of solid material at the beginning, followed by more liquid stuff, and finally clear water. If I started with an empty colon, it would be only half the fun!

I prefer to get the rectum empty before inserting the tube. This applies especially inserting an inflatable rectal tube. What I do is to give a small clyster (50 ml) of glycerine (1/2 glycerine + 1/2 water) using a syringe connected to a small rectal tube. That works fine.

Like to empty my rectum before à larger enemas

Do use 2 suppos ans à small bulb on 100ml to get empty before insering a inflated canula

Definitely full, full, full. Today my bowels had moved only once since Tuesday 30 May, the date of my last enema. I managed to insert my 42 Fr colon tube all the way into the transverse colon only on the second attempt, which was messy. I then took a five litre soap suds-and-salt enema seated on the closed toilet lid, but only managed to hold it for five minutes.

Like others here, it is the feeling of emptying completely that I find so satisfying, and the expulsion is a necessary part of that! Before the enema, I could feel a large mass of hard faeces in my colon, and letting it depart was the first part of my enjoyment. I habitually take the maximum dose of psyllium husk powder in fruit juice every morning, so I always have a large bulk of faeces to expel. When I was through, the toilet was blocked and the faeces plus enema were about half way up the toilet bowl. I used a plunger to get it down before taking my 8 litre rinse, which went in very sweetly with no cramps. A long, sensuous expulsion followed. Nice!

I pretty much always try to go on my own first, whatever I can manage to do, usually whether I feel like it might have decided to move on its own, or not.

I'm often amazed, and sometimes I have to say to myself that "for someone who couldn't go to the bathroom at all a few minutes ago, I sure am going a lot now" or that "even though I was able to go, look at how much more there was" that I couldn't do.

Unlike when I was younger, I don't cancel an enema that I am planning to take on account of a surprise BM showing up. I welcome that happening, and it makes my enema a little easier and perhaps a bit more enjoyable too.

I like to start with a small glycerin enema of 10 or 15 ml. and wait until it forces me to go. Meanwhile I prepare my cleansing(purging) enema. I sometimes take a pint of soapy water with an ounce of glycerin added to it as a first enema. I like to retain a warm, filling enema, so I need the first one to expel any gas as well as clean me out.

Yesterday, I had not been the potty in 7 days and really needed relief. So, after I came home from Church, I told wife that I needed help. She said "ok, go get your bags ready while I go to the grocery store and get what I need to cook for supper." She had been gone for several days visiting her sisters. Well, I got my bags ready. I filled each with salt and some Kirk's castile soap. Well, when she got home she gave me almost 11 quarts. I got up on the potty and at first all I could get out was soapy water. The water was by passing the large turds. Finally, I unloaded a port full of crap. After expelling all I could, wife gave me 2 more large enemas. However, I could not take as much water as I did when I was full of crap. Seems like I would have been able to take more, but that was not the case. Next week, I will try and go another 7 days without pooping to see what I can do next Sunday.

Miker - that had to be extremely uncomfortable. 7 days without a single BM? I'm uncomfortable after 2 days, and totally miserable by day 3. Certainly wouldn't want that parked in my colon for a week. But that's just me.

If it has been a few days, rather than go straight to the enema bag, I will use a couple of suppositories, then wait for a few hours, then expel. The big enema will come a few hours after that or the next day depending on the situation or more importantly, how much time that I have available for play.

When I was younger I used to routinely go 3, 4, 5 days without a BM, sometimes longer. Now I don't know why or how I put up with it, then I mainly remember it hurting often when I finally went and having to go for the plunger more often than not.

Since then I've significantly reduced the number of days I'll put up with being "constipated" (constipated is in quotes because you aren't officially constipated until it's been three days or more, and I'll do something after 2-3 days now).

Tried 3 glycerin suppositories this morning, hour and a half later and nothing. Guess I have a date with the bag tomorrow.
