Nurses and Enemas

I have nurses as patients who would rather die than take an enema. You know, because it's icky to do anything "back there". I was actually rather shocked when I heard my patient actually say that. I have other parents who are nurses that I know use them pretty regularly. Can't speak to the percentages verses the general population.

I have in the past sent patients home with a vinyl disposable bag and encouraged them to take care of their problem from below rather than above. Most of them let me know after that they felt much better, and were more likely to try that approach in the future.

I used to be one of the nurse/patients who felt that way docinny45 if you remember almost 8 years ago now, lol. Not saying that all that much as changed, but at least I don't run from you anymore when you bring out your equipment, lol. Baby steps I guess, lol.

Its NOT hard to get your doc to write an order, Hermann.just tell him laxatives make you sick,and you have no problem with enemas for relief. my doc wrote an order for 6 SSEs as a prep for a barium enema last year. I still have the script, and had a friend of mine who is a retired RN fill the script once already.

I tell you the truth what you are wanting you would be better off into roll playing find you someone to dress as a nurse and fuflil your fantasy , if you go to a doctor he will more likely want to run test to verify your condition another thing one suggested get a script and get a home health agency send a nurse well i doubt any insurance would pay for such a thing for that so unless you are wealthy and have money to throw away do like i said before, just for info the home health agencies go by a criteria of long term i doubt they will come out for a 1 time deal or just send someone out to give enemas but good luck

In California you might be able to contact a nursing registry to see if they would send a nurse to give an enema, but it would be a cash payment and a fee for service if you had a MD order. They would probably try to bill medical insurance or take a credit card if they were able to provide the service. I would imagine that they would charge a hefty price and try to send a nursing assistant if they agreed to provide the service. People contract for in home care givers which are usually for prolonged services, and a flat rate for a shift of 8 or 12 hours. Not sure in this day and age, the care giver would agree to give the good old SSE. There is also the malpractice issues that go with a person being sent out and doing anything not identified in the plan if care.

Getting someone to do this is not easy, advertising for the service on line requires that you screen the person for all the obvious reasons.

Go to a colon therapist, get a colonic and chat her up about enema preference..many will give an enema series..no happy ending requests..that will kill it. Most wear a white smock or lab coat. You just need to add your imagination for the rest of the experience!

I told of this elsewhere on zity, but when I was in college for a couple of months I dated an x-ray technician. Eventhough I met her at the orthopedic doctor, I learned that her previous job was at a gastroenterologist when she was the one who gave the barium enemas. She was very much into soapy enemas from a bag and we had a great time as long as it lasted.

I am not a nurse but I have a friend who was a nurse for many years. At her retirement party someone joked, "Now you don't have to give any more enemas." She laughed and said that she has never had to give anybody an enema on the job in all those years. Sometimes we assume all nurses give enemas, but I suppose it all depends on what department you work in, or what kind of nurse you are.

I am guessing that there are some nurses who do not want to bring the job home, so they are not interested in giving anyone an enema just for fun. But I bet there are some that can separate the professional duties of giving a patient an enema on the job from the pleasure they might get from either giving or getting an enema for other reasons.

When I was 10...put in the hospital because they thought I either had a blockage or a worm. .I got enemas a couple times a day from nurses

I went to colon hydrotherapist that had one of the Libbe machines, but she preferred giving enemas. She called them colonics and actually did not like the term enema, and corrected me a couple of times when I said enema. She usually dressed in nurses scrubs or a couple of times a lab coat. She was only about a mile from my house and I went to her off and on for about 6 years. I overheard some things she said to a friend of hers one day that made me think she was kind of a hustler as far as scamming people out of money, so i stopped going, although she never tried anything with me. There was never anything sexual about the enemas, however the last time I went we talked about buying enema bags and she asked me if I knew about the Beth Tyler website. I had definitely decided not to go back at that point but the fact she bought things off the BT site made me think she might have been open to doing more than she had let on.

In my bachelor years I tried to date as many nurses as I could- object sensual enemas.Once we became close almost every one of them would give me an enema.However,there was a spectrum-from "Sure I give great enemas" to "Are you nuts?"Flo had a couple of classic bags and a colon tube with which she worked her magic.I miss her and its been 33 years-young ladies here take note.You can very solidly hook the right guy with your little bag and your winning ways.

She has it backwards. All colonics are enemas, because they are injections of a liquid via the anus.

My very first enema was from a nurse, and I haven't been so lucky since. I did have a colonic from a nurse, but it seemed more clinical and was not terribly exciting. Always open and willing to try.

Nurses are professionals although some might 3njoy giving I think you never know it

I have personal knowledge of two colon therapists who have no problem practicing their occupation but strangely very uncomfortable when the subject of enemas comes up. This includes any a reference to their own childhood enemas, and as older Baby Boomers they surely knew of the bag and can. Are enemas too personal for them to discuss them. even I was very open about my personal history and they readily agreed to give me colonics while I was totally naked .

My ex was a former nurse who had given enemas in a hospital venue, but didn't understand how anyone could possibly enjoy them. I don't think she enjoyed giving them either. I used them openly while we were married. There were a few rare occasions when she actually asked me to give her an enema, supposedly for a minor constipation issue, but could never handle more than a few ounces, before giving up. I used to wonder how she would have reacted to one of her former patients who acted in that manner. The last time she asked me to give her an enema, I simply refused, telling her it wouldn't be worth the trouble. By that time, our marriage was nearing an end anyway. I'd also previously given enemas to and shared them with countless other women I'd known and have since.

I later met and had a relationship with a practicing nurse that lasted a few years, until she moved to a distant town. She regularly gave enemas to many of her patients who required them as a result of debilitating diseases. We frequently shared enemas and gave them to each other; however, I didn't care for her much too-clinical manner of giving them. As nurses often go, they are trained to "go by the book," being too mechanical and with little leeway extended for enemas of the recreational variety. Enemas I give have always been tailored for the occasion with the comfort and pleasure of the recipient in mind and with being sensitive to each moment of the procedure. This nurse repeatedly said to me that I knew more about enemas and was better than she at giving them. Doubting she was actually being serious with herself being the professional, I once asked her about that and she emphatically said she meant it. That was surely a kudo for me, but I chalked it up to having taken so many self-given enemas over many years and with always giving emphasis to fine tuning the many details for maximum enjoyment. Self use is the best way to gain experience.

Do nurses even give enemas anymore? Even in times past when they were more prevalent, I doubt there were many nurses who got pleasure from giving an enema to a patient. I think most were able to separate their job from whatever they might do in their private life. I would guess most nurses gave themselves more enemas than they gave to anyone else. Any nurses want to comment on that?

While not a prevalent as in years past, they are still ordered, and the insertion of the tube considered an invasive procedure, therefore administered by a RN in the facility where I worked. We had a mostly RN staff with 1 or 2 CNAs depending on the census. The RN is the primary care giver.

Probably that's because in hospitals enemas are given for serious medical purposes only. And that's usually not pleasurable.

While in college years past I worked one summer as an orderly at the local hospital. There was an affiliated nursing school and I met the student nurses. One day I was asked to assist two while they gave an enema to an older man. He couldn't take it and water spilled all over the bed and floor. They were angry as they were about to get off of their shift and now had to stay and clean up the bed and floor and patient. Another time I heard a student nurse brag that she had just given someone a barium enema. I'm sorry I did not get closer to these nurses.

They sound like lousy students.

I hope they never graduated.

You are not allowed to get angry at a patient for something like that. Patients are ill and wouldn't be in a hospital if that weren't the case. Those students SUCK.

Agree!!

just wish they still used bag enemas in hospitals.

NOT a fan of fleets.......

It's all about the money, and time is money. How long does it take to give someone an enema with a bag or can, including prep, administration, and cleanup? A half hour? How long does it take to remove a Fleet from the box, remove the cap, and squeeze it in? A few minutes tops. Hospitals just don't want their nurses taking the time for an enema as we remember it.

@eroticenemas They do still give bag or bucket enemas in hospitals. You need to request them preferably from your Dr. Ask the doc if he'll write an order for soapsud or tap water enemas. I've found in recent years that my doctors are quite willing to do this.

You can also ask the attending RN. It was an RN who suggested it to me while in for observation a couple of years ago. In my state medical technicians can give them so it doesn't tie up a nurses valuable time.

Due to a neurological disorder, I'm hospitalized 3 or 4 times a year. When I'm constipated as I frequently am, I tell my dr or the nurse that sse s work better for me. I haven't had them refuse yet. Except for one time when my dr was concerned that it would affect the tests I was undergoing.

I've gotten 4 1L SSEs in the last year and a half. I will say though that they aren't as much fun as I thought. Out of the four, I enjoyed two of them and really disliked the others. One because the tech didn't burp the hose. I got bad cramps. The other time I was seriously constipated. A nurse did this one. She warned me that it was "not going to be very comfortable."

She held the bucket and kept raising it as high as she could reach almost. She kept apologizing to me but said it was the only way to get an effective flow. She offered to stop but said I'd probably need to be manually disimpacted in another day or two. I'd been through that twice and it was excruciating.

So I kept deep breathing and rubbing my abdomen till it was done. I don't think I've had a more uncomfortable enema. She was right. It did work. I was glad.

I've been in for treatments twice more since and didn't request an enema despite being constipated. I took the oral laxatives, Dulcolax suppositories the next trip and a Fleet the last time. I have to travel back to the hospital in two weeks though and am considering a Peristeen trans rectal irrigation program. It was mentioned by my rehab dr. I don't know though.

While I understand the appeal of having someone else give an enema to you (and I'd kind of like to experience it, either my wife practicing on me often (with sexy enema stuff-ideal!) or someone who really knows what they're doing giving me one), I don't really see the appeal of getting one in most medical settings. You'd get an enema from someone who probably really doesn't want to be doing it and doesn't have much practice. Chances are very good that I could give myself a better enema and save who knows how much - $75? More?

If it ever came up I'd probably choose the SSE over a suppo or Fleet. Not that I'd expect it to be a magical experience, but I do know enough about my body to know that it would be much more effective and likely not any more unpleasant (even with someone who really didn't know what they were doing).

Eneman198- you and the nurse are definitely right. The more constipated I am (and thus the more I "need" the enema) the more uncomfortable it is. That's one reason I hit it hard and early now.

I am not a nurse but had tried to find one for my treatments through ads on the net a few years ago. Based on a total number of responses around 60, and from the phone and personal interviews I would say that those getting pleasure (I would prefer to say enjoying) to be a giver is much less than 10%, maybe 5% only. My educated guess is that most of them enjoy to receive one herself as well.

In San Diego, Ca at the facility I work, an enema is considered an invasive procedure so it’s administered by a RN. We have few, if any CNAs in the acute care setting, so with ratios in place, a med surg RN has a maximum of 5 Pt’s. It drops to 4 if they are in Telemetry, 3 in an IMU setting and 2 in an UCU setting. The acquity of Pt can also affect the number of Pt’s the RN has. LVN or LPNs are not used in acute care.

I think for most nurses giving an enema is as about as exciting as watching paint dry. There are always going to be a few that got them as children who it might be a kick for, but overall it is just another procedure for them. The majority of enemas are not given to movie stars, but instead older guys and gals so looking at a wrinkley old booty probably isn't too exciting either.

To a nurse it is just their job after work on a date a different story if their into such things God knows they know their anatomy....

What is an SSEs ? If You don't mind Me asking?
