First post

My first posting here was a month or so ago. I've kept current with info from the site and am becoming an 'accomplished novice,' but have a couple of questions that I haven't found answers for yet.

First, after a quick 'cleanout' with a couple of quarts of tap water, it's getting easier to take 4 full quarts of dilute coffee for a relaxing time and a feeling afterward of well-being. 4 quarts seems to be my limit as all but the last half-cup or so is taken in and then stops by itself. I don't use much pressure as my home-made 'bucket' is only a foot or so above me. My question in this case: just how safe is retaining a 'fill-up' for 30 minutes or so? Is there any danger of stretching or stressing the large intestine? I do feel quite bloated and full.

Secondly, I have found that my scrotum either shrinks or draws-up with an enema of nearly any size. This forces the testicles up inside and can be quite uncomfortable. I find that if I tie a cord around the scrotum to keep things more or less where they belong the experience is more pleasant. Anyone else have this problem?

Just finished making a 2qt coffee enema for sunday morning. put it in a 2qt thermos. will check temp in the morning. 105 degrees will be nice. hope to hold for 30 min. of course at least 2 plain water enemas will be required before the coffee. should have a happy happy Sunday . all day long.

I find that my enemas don't work nearly as well when I am heading towards dehydrated. It's almost as thought the body realizes there's water to be had and holds onto it, which does make sense on some way but also doesn't... realistically, how often is there water introduced into the colon for there to be a mechanism developed to aid absorption when needed?

All the time! The contents of the small intestine pass into the colon in a liquid state, and most of the water is absorbed from the colon.

The amount of water is pretty consistent there, with excess absorbed in the small intestine.

Anything over 15 minutes, has it's own risks.

By then the body has started to absorb the water BACK into the walls of the colon.

Too much absorption can mean too much water in the bloodstream which stresses the heart and can cause heart failure.

If that were true, people who get colonic irrigations would be going to the ER and/or dying left and right.

When I take my coffee enemas I take in 2quarts and will hold at least 1 hour and if I feel like it I will hold to even 2 or more hours. Never had any problems with that. Most times though I will take a 1-2 quarts warm water enema to clean out some before my coffee retention enema.

I have thoroughly enjoyed being filled since I was a teen 50 years ago. I used to do 2-2.5 quarts for decades until joining Zity about 3-4 years ago and gradually increasing to 4-4.5 quarts which is my usual now. I so enjoy the filling and retention that I use a 4 quart bag with a Higginson bulb in it to enjoy both the gravity flow plus the occasional fast inflow when I squeeze the pump. I often retain 4 quarts or more for over an hour just because it feels so good and often fall asleep during my retentions.

When I had my ex-wife acting as my Domme, she'd dress me in rubber and sneakers and fill me with 2-4 quarts and then make me do a number of things to assert her dominance. More detail on request. I'd wind up holding it for several hours, usually with additional fillings added on to the first one. After she was satisfied with enough D/s play and her orgasms for the evening, she'd finally help me have my own orgasm and let me release. Occasionally, she'd make me hold enemas overnight to extend her dominant and orgasm time, so a few times I'd be holding for 4-8 hours. She'd almost always use water or saline, and even on very long holds I never had any problems.

My own enemas and retentions these days are 4 quarts of either saline, Castile soap 1-1.5 tsp/quart, or mixed Castile soap in saline, held up to over an hour. Even at 67, I'm pretty healthy with no cardiac, liver or kidney disease, and I've never had any ill effects from recreational enemas. Mine are done for only two reasons: pure enema recreation or that plus a stimulus for orgasms as I have bad ED. Both are delightful.
