Interested but more than a bit scared...

... which is tough for me to admit! Ive never had or given an enema but I find the thought more than appealing, any suggestions on someone (female) willing to teach in the midwest (central illinois)? Ive thought of craigslist and similar places but from reading the boards it seems that hasnt worked out well for others on the board. Any and all advice would be appriciated!

^^^^ Can you be a bit specific about what you are afraid of?

The enema is really a very simple procedure. You get a bag, hose and nozzle, fill it with warm water (DO NOT USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN PLAIN WARM WATER UNTIL YOU LEARN HOW YOUR BODY AND PARTNER'S BODY REACTS) Hang the bag on a door knob or towel rack, lay down, use your finger to lube your anus inside and out with a good lubricant (anything slippery will work-- KY, vaseline, crisco, olive oil, astroglide--you pick, you will find what you like best eventually) and carefully slide the nozzle or tube in. It should go in easily, if you have resistance, pull it out a bit and re-direct it. It isn't rocket science. Once it is inserted, just click open the valve and let the water slowly flow in. If you feel too much pressure, close the valve and relax and let the water circulate through your colon. Start with 1-2 PINTS of warm water. Later you can increase the volume as you become accustomed to how an enema feels as your colon fills with with water.

Give your first enema to yourself, NOT a partner and take your enema in the bathroom so if there is any accident, it will be easily contained.

Good luck, and remember, it isn't rocket science and it is supposed to be fun.

That is such a sweet straight forward post that Switchable Susie posted.

Take your time and try to relax. The more relaxed you are the easier it will be. It also helps to find a temperature that you are most comfortable with. i've found that close to body temp works best for me.

Make sure you are comfortable too while you are taking. Take the phone off the hook or let the machine get it, and lock the doors. Just relax and concentrate on you and the experience you will be receiving. You don't have to drain the bag the first or even any time after. But fill yourself until you feel full. I hope you enjoy, because so many on this site do. Post how it went so we can keep cheering you on.

Thanks forthe advice! I guess i should have been a bit more specific- its not "doing" the enema that scares me as much as opening myself up to having one done by someone else. I consider myself to be pretty open with my body, most kinks and the opposite sex, but theres something about this that gets my heart pounding. Im not sure if its the intimacy or the taboo factor... guess Ill have to find out!

Suzie- thanks for the kind IM, I appreciate the support!
