I have to agree, enemas stimulate the colon and hydrate the body whats not to like?

Back in 1980 I went to Bernard Jensen's ranch in Ca. for his clean out program, and was advised by him to continue the colomas for the next 30 days after leaving his ranch. I did do the comomas for then next month and did not have any problems when I quite taking them. As a matter of face my colon was in better shape than before I started the program as my colon was better at expelling.

As my name implies, I take enemas every day and have for close to forty years. There are times when I go four or five days without the bag, and my colon begins to function pretty normally after about 48 hours. The argument rings pretty hollow that enemas make the colon lose the ability to function: Mine gets plenty of exercise every day expelling the usually three, three liter enemas I take!

When I think about enemas I get horny.When I get horny,I'll take an enema session,the two go hand in hand,that is quite often.

Let the good times FLOW.

A good portion of members of this site would be considered by medical authorities to be excessive enema users. I have yet to read a post from anyone here who acquired a dependency as a result of enema usage. Is the medical community then incorrect by saying excessive laxative or enema usage may cause dependency? Should I be concerned about the number of enemas I take? What frequency of usage will cause dependency? Can dependency be reversed?

I enjoy taking enemas on a regular basis for both health and pleasure....

I've been taking enemas on a frequent, regular basis for most of my adult life and, last year, made it a point to have at least one enema daily (for a personal record, of sorts). I have NEVER developed a dependency. In fact, I've noticed quite the opposite whenever ceasing to use them for a period of time. Always, within two or three days, my colon function has returned to normal.

I wholeheartedly believe the enema dependency issue is nothing more than a myth to discourage use of enemas. Enemas were in common usage until sometime in the late sixties or earlier seventies, when they fell out of favor with the medical profession, a profession tightly bound to the pharmaceutical industry. Their drug companies prefer that we be dependent on their expensive products instead. They don't acquire their immense wealth from the sale of tap water and Ivory soap!

Point well taken, northernguy! My partner has been taking enemas since he was about 7 years old. He's just a few days shy of 64. Some of his enemas were weekly, now they are almost daily. He has never developed a dependency issue and can easily return to "going natural" when circumstances require.

I believe the 'dependency' idea is a misnomer for the fact that lots of us keep taking them for erotic delight. I imagine a mother telling the doctor that,

'Bobby here is taking enemas on his own.'

Doctor, 'Yep, he is developing a dependency. Better take the equipment away and hide it. He'll get over it'.

Bobby to himself, 'Like hell I will, I only do it cause it feels so good. I'll make my own enema thing.'

Kinda like pot, its not a physical addiction. Playing around with enemas for the last 18 years of my life. I stop for few weeks, some times a month my go by. Every thing back to normal within a day or to always. I think the dependecy thing is a myth to scare freaks like me to be "Normal"/

My experience is similar to the poster who does a daily enema without any sign of physical dependency, though I don't nearly do it as often. I would caution though, that everyone is probably a little different in this regard and factors like diet may weigh heavily in the equation.

I don't agree with the dependency on enemas.. I have been giving my self enemas for years. I think the so called dependency is that it just feels so good to be clean and the arousal part of administering is just to much for some people. In my opinion its more of an enjoyment than a dependency.

I've heard that too many enemas make the bowel "lazy" and then you can't go naturally and need to keep using the enemas. For a period of time, I was taking enemas once a week. I noticed that it stimulated the bowel so that it was more productive following the enema until the next week. So, I think that this myth is not really accurate; and that enemas are good to clense the bowel and improve function.

I'd be interested in hearing from others about their experience

I think we all are different and our own bodies tell us if we need them or just love them.

I fully agree with Northernguy, the drugstore shelves are full of various expensive laxatives, but you don't find a great selection of low-cost enema equipment. I believe that the laxatives are much worse for you than enemas, after 50+ years I have never had any ill effects!

My experience is the same over almost 70 years of regular and frequent use of Enemas. People are always telling me how good I look for my age (7😎. They say " Whatever your doing, don't stop". If I told them, I wonder what the reaction would be. I do sometimes say " I am a great believer in keeping the Colon cleaned out",but I hesitate to mention the word, Enemas.
