Cramps

Thank you. these hints are helpful. I tried one last night , it felt great!! I love it.

Flow rate and temperature are paramount to quieting cramps. I use a temperature of 110 degrees F plus or minus 5 degrees. Most important is flow rate.

It's an enema not a race. To avoid cramps, the flow rate should not exceed a cup a minute. To maximize cramps, simply use cold water at a high flow rate.

I believe the major reason for cramping is gas in the colon or air in the tube leading from the bag.

After inserting the nozzle, I pinch the tube with fingers of one hand, then open the clamp using the other hand, allowing any and all air bubbles to flow upward toward my fingers that are stopping the flow (I use clear silicon tubing for all my bags). I re-clamp the tube below the air bubble and release my fingers, allowing the bubble to flow upward toward the bag, finally squeezing the tube to completely force out the air and into the bag.

Additionally, I wait to begin the enema until fully relaxed and, if I sense any gas in my colon, try to gently push it out and into the tube, then remove it using the above technique.

I have never experienced cramping (with typical* warm solutions) using this method, regardless of flow rate.

(*Non-typical solutions in this sense would be any that produce gas, as with inclusion of baking soda with lemon juice/vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, etc.)

Don't be offended. The abbreviation for assistant (assistent) in German is both ASST and ASS!

So Ass is correct!

It is also stands for "Acta Sanctae Sedis" (ASS) an earlier religious publication from the Vatican.

Luvanal, please don't worry. Didn't you see the line of tongues in cheeks at the bottom of my post.

Trust me, I wasn't really offended.

Finally, there are lots of things that make me angry, but I am really hard to offend.

Arthur, you shouldn't worry about the 106 F temperature. The colon can tolerate the same temperatures that the mouth and throat can hold for extended times because they have the same type of epithelium.

As far as your being concerned about the temperature killing the bacteria, the enema does a pretty good job of eliminating so much of the colonic bacterial volume, that the temperature concern becomes moot. The colon isn't going to become disinfected or sterilized by either concern. The enema itself removes orders of magnitude more bacteria than the temperatures that might be used can kill--just like when you wash your hands.

Colonic bacteria will do just fine at 110F. It just isn't their optimal growth temperature.

Furthermore, there are countless people taking 110 degree enemas on a daily basis with no problem at all. I will say that if people are taking frequent or very warm enemas they should be taking dietary supplements.

I always was under the impression that a certain amount of cramping was almost inevitable with a large volume enema. I was trained that by taking deep breaths and "panting like a puppy" cramps could be minimized to complete the large volume enema. As for temperature, it is sort of a generally accepted rule that if it is too hot to stick your hand in, it is too hot to put up your fanny. As for the bowel flora being eradicated, Susie is totally correct. And even if the bowel flora is totally wiped out, it regenerates at amazing speed! And in closing I will quote that famous philosopher, Forrest Gump; "and that's all I go to say about that."

Water heats to 110 F if the heater is hot enough and the cooking pot is closed and sturdy. I spent several years aboard steam ships where water in the boiler came quite close to that temperature. I figure if that temperature of the water will make a ninety thousand ton tank ship go it surely will make the poor recipient of an enema at that temp go also and but quick! You talk about cramps!

Now, as to pulling my leg, that treatment you gave me, left me with one leg longer than the other. It was difficult to make it to the toilet after my enema this afternoon. Now I'll have to get orthopedic shoes and a stilt to even them out. Naturally that was a typo and I appreciate the attention. It makes me feel good to know that you folks read this blather!

Thanks for the comments and the laugh at my typo!

I thought that amino acids (protein) starts to break down above 107 degrees.

Bill, yeah, we got it!!!!!!!!

Maybe your water is too cold, thats what causes cramping in me 😶

Before you start lowering the syringe to reduce cramping, attach clear tubing to the syringe. You will be surprised toward the end of the enema. A cramping bowel is quite capable of effecting a reverse flow into the tubing and even the reservoir. This is NOT good if you share the equipment. An inline pump from the boating section of the hardware store has a built in check valve to prevent contamination. It also enables the patient to take a relaxing copious enema by placing the irrigator on the seat of a chair or the edge of the tub. As long as you are cramped the flow of the enema is halted, but as soon as you relax and take a breath you can tell you are getting the injection.

I like to use an "Higginson" bulb / syringue because in the tube there are two oneway valves , backflow is impossible with a such (cheap) equipment .

Also you can adjust the flow using a clamp between the "Higginson" and the reservoir who can be a bag , a plastic bottle or what ever ; if you use a plastic bottle a trick is to insulate the bottle with plastic bubbles or with the special foam for pipes/hoses insulation , so you will have a thermos for your enemas warm or cold .

When you desire a peak of flow you have only to squeeze the bulb , the clamp will not affect the peak , refilling of the bulb will be a bit slower due to the clamp , this is a nice option when the receiver is on the edge of the orgasm 😎

Sometimes gas trapped in the bowel will create some horrible cramps. when i'm going to give someone an enema for the first time i ask them to take one Gas-Ex ( i use generic from Rite-Aid) pill about 60 minutes prior to our appointment. by the time they get to me they've farted out any air that's going to make the process very painful and their first enema goes off quite nicely! 😉 Gas-Ex isn't harmful and one or two pills an hour before play really does make a lot of difference in helping get some warm saltwater up in to your anus. give it a try and see how things go.

I do not ike cramping at all during an enema and cramping can be avoided by positioning the bag no more than 18 inches above the anus and by a slow flow. I find that I will usually stop the flow several times while taking an enema and massage my stomach this allows the liquid to flow properly into the colon and minimizes cramping. I find that cramping usually always occurs when I take a warm soap suds retention enema in order to relieve constipation and the only way I can ease the cramps is by breathing rapidly (i.e. panting).

I have been giving myself enemas for a long time, and rarely if ever do I remenber any uncomfortable cramping. If the flow is too fast, I just slow it down or just let the water in for about 20 seconds, then stop the flow for up to half a minute, during which I massage my abdomen.

Although really bad cramping during an enema can make me panicky, which is why a helper is always a good idea, sometimes I need some cramping to help me come to orgasm. It all depends on the day, I guess.

I do not like cramping at all so in order to receive a good enema series, I keep the bag no higher than 24 inches up from the anus and I stop the flow frequently which helps alleviate severe cramping and makes for a good experience for me. By giving myself a long slow fill I can retain the solution longer as well which enables me to achieve a very good cleansing.

I hardly ever cramp. When I do I just ask my wife to stop for a second. It goes away and we continue. She, on the other hand, always cramps. Any suggestions? I would like to be the ‘giver’ a little more.

I would recommend the use of a rectal tube,it gets in there deeper and fills from back to front or visa versa ,depends on how you look at it(and is fun to look at)Just be very care full. Proper instructions are probably posted here are somewhere on the Internet.

From time to time I really like cramping with the big E. I can usually induce cramps by hanging the bag a little higher than normal, and also by using water with some ice in it. I start the flow with a blast, then usually clamp it off after a few seconds and wait. I generally find that if I am masturbating while being given the enema, I will tend to cramp less. Also the same if I have my knees up. If I straighten out my legs, or stop stroking, cramps and/or the urge to expel usually hits pretty hard. I try to tough the cramp out, then start stroking and start the flow again, starting the whole cycle over again. It generally seems that i get more or stronger cramps if I am using a slender nozzle or tube as compared to when I use a plug type device. Anyone had a similar experience? I wonder why?

Just the word, "Cramps" connotes something very negative, but it looks like it'll have to do until someone invents a term for the internal fireworks that a lot of us seek.

Some decent cramps can be nice!

Normally, no. I just go for the full feeling then turn off the flow and hold. Sometimes, when I am in my little boy mood, I try to simulate the cramps I got from Mother's Ivory soap enemas. I will mix up a very soapy Ivory soap enema or make a very strong Dr Bronners castile soap enema. I probably try hardest to hold these enemas as long as possible.

Yes, an enema can be effective in cleaning out with not a single cramp felt. Or even any undue pressure,urgency etc at all. As in some moods- I have done just that - run in as much as is comfy, hold a moment or so- move to toilet and empty-repeat till clear or just feeling good enough to stop.

Though- there's a certain sensibility of desiring a full body emptying that deep grinding cramps seem to make more complete. Feeling that need to push- defying it- and the crossing from mere peristaltic waves over into whole belly twisting *CRAMPS* that are an override upon all else. Feeling my whole world narrow down to breathing- or trying to, whilst not losing it. It's almost an edging on masochism intersecting an Endorphin High balanced upon a desire to be clean enough for whatever reasons.

The few medical mentions about 'retaining the enema for a time AFTER "well defined abdominal contractions are observed" do indicate some plausible rationale for this being a valid need. The fantasy became a practice of mine to wind up a timer for 5-15 mins at the point where the cramping became strong. Making the bell is my mental tagging. Failing to do so is often self-rewarded by creative things like the bag a bit higher etc within reason to push my limits if I'm in the mood for suchlike. But on other times- it's a sense of conflict between self deprecation at failure and a mundane-" ok, got to do another cycle ..

I enjoy the cramps. Cooler water and lots of soap does the trick for me. Try a slow flow and squeeze and realease the tube continually. Works great

No, I don't get cramps at all, even with a really large enema. I do use warm water, never cold.

Yes i certainly do!! i remember how my mom would say that an enema needed to be uncomfortable and crampy or there was no sense in her having made one for me. Please add moms_enemas if you have yahoo messenger.

Cramps are apart of enemas everyday life for me, it shows you whos in charge

The best cramps in the intestines I have suffered are those after having swallowed a good dose of Castor Oil ( at least 2 oz).
