Thanks to everyone who has replied to this thread!
It is sometimes hard to talk about this sort of thing, especially in the context of a subject that is overtly sexual. I again want to agree that enemas are very sexual for me and that I have actually been surprised at the other experiences that I have had, some of which are emotional, and some mystical.
I want to respond to muskokan46's post especially:

John, are you hinting at an esoteric kind of experience here? ...
I began "seeing" fireworks and
... a sharply increasing mental awareness. ...
East Indian esoteric art that to the Westerner is just so much pornography has real value and purpose.
If you or anyone else reading this has had a similar experience, I would like to hear from you.

I had something very similar happen during a colonic: it was almost exactly what I have read about as a near-death or out of body experience. I was in a near panic at the time over some traumatic events and was getting a colonic from a woman who did energy work. During the colonic, I had an experience that permanently changed my outlook on life that I experienced as a conversation with relatives, all of whom are long dead.
I had never had anything like this happen before and didn't really believe this sort of thing was possible.
That was over 10 years ago but I've never forgotten it.
Thanks again to everyone who is participating in the discussion!
John
