How long can you hold your enema?

Honestly, I have no idea. While I try to hold as long as possible sometimes (because waiting until the very last moment may be pleasurable in its own, unique way for me) , I don't keep track of time while holding. I don't really care for numbers. I want to enjoy and have fun. For me, this is not a competition. Most of the time I can't hold for long anyway.

Also, when time is limited, like Deb said so nicely, I rather take one more enema (or two) than holding as long as possible.

I have been able to hold a baking soda enema for maybe 12 to 15 minutes. As for an Ivory soap one, 10 minutes is about my maximum. Either way there comes a point when that enema just insists on coming out and I don't fight that feeling very hard.

My body tells me when it is time to expel. I do not bother watching the clock, just enjoying the feeling.

With baking soda enemas, I aim for about 15 minutes of retention. With a peppermint soap enema, I generally masterbate while taking the enema and after orgasm it becomes very hard to hold, so I don't fight it!

I agree with master anjisan--the purpose is to enjoy it, not make an endurance event of it.

While I don't think one can put a meaningful number on it given the numerous parameters, I sometimes find it interesting to go past the first strong urge of letting out and enjoy the up and down of colon activity, which becomes especially interesting if a few bubbles of air were let in with the fluid...

holding time is not that important to me, but I like it to become uncomfortable. which depends on so many factors that I can't even compare my own times. doing this kind of record search sounds very much like a japanese competition thing to me... they do some very strange things there regarding enemas ;-)

For some unknown reason, I can hold something like a Fleets enema for so much longer than any other concocted enema. A Fleets enema sometimes bores me that it takes so long before I want to expel it. I do prefer any other kind over those off the shelf enemas because I feel like I can expel any others at any time I feel like doing so. I definetely feel I have more control over any other enema than any off the shelf ones I may buy.

My longest retention was with a play for pay enema nurse ... it was our first meeting. She started off with a back massage to get me relaxed. After about 15 minutes she announced it was enema time and asked how I liked the temperature of the water. I said warm. Well everything in life is relative. She delivered, slowly, a very, very warm soap suds enema using a standard 1500 ml disposable bag that includes the small packet of soap.. A few minutes after completion she asked if I needed to expel. I said "no" and I asked if we could change places so I could I give her a massage until nature called. She said "yes" to my surprise and we both probably thought it would be a short back rub. It wasn't... it lasted 90+ minutes.

I can rarely hold more than a few minutes. Especially the first fill. When it decides to release that's it... no holding back!!! When doing a series after I've cleared out some, I tend to be able to retain longer. Cleaning out the colon is the main goal but the feeling of insertion is most enjoyable .

Usually, I take my enemas lying down in bed.

Although it's common for me to take 3 quarts plus, I can actually retain 2 quarts with a bit of salt for almost indefinitely. I just make sure I'm comfortable and take it very slow at about 2 feet high. Because I have a check valve, I don't have to worry about reversion back into the bag.

I'll turn on the TV ........... and maybe I'll fall asleep for a half hour or so.

An hour or two total? No problem. I just need to remain still. Never had an accident.

I don't know if there is a world record, but when I feel the urge to expell, I run to the bathroom. I don't hold an enema long, except if someone makes me hold it. It happened a few times. I was forced to hold enemas while on elbows and knees for 20 minutes. Bare ass spanking was the way to convince me to hold in the warm soapy water. Few times spanking was deliverd by a wooden ruler, amd sometimes by hand. An unforgetable experience.....

For me it depends on which enema in a series it is. The first cleansing enema - two quarts or slightly more, very warm and very sudsy - usually stays in for upwards of 10 minutes. After that, retention of 20-30 minutes of higher volume - 4 quarts + is not that uncommon. Just being there naked and exposed and full makes for a pleasurable retention.

For me it really depends on the enema. High volume can be held, but it depends what mixture. For instance, a very hot soapy bag will be a challange to get in, never mind retain longer than 10 minutes! A warm baking soda? No problem!

Remember, if you're taking (or giving) a slow enema, by the time a 2-qt. bag empties, the initial amount of solution may have been in the colon 10 minutes or more. Years ago a nurse who gave me saline enemas when I was sick coached me to "hold it in" for only about 5 more minutes. Unless the colon is impacted, it doesn't usually take long for a warm enema to "do its work" and get you moving.

Hi Enema Friends!

Reading the posts on retention back to March, all interesting and many with good advice questioning extended holding time, I saw only 2 posts that referenced any kind of retention help. BarryB1963 and azdiane.

My question, I can't take an enema over about a pint without a retention nozzle. If almost none of you do, how on earth? Is something wrong with me? Is there training for this? An enema school?

Sign me up!

Seriously, how many of you use a retention nozzle, if so what kind? If not How do you hold, say 2 quarts without it.

Share your secret.

It varies for me. And depends on the type of enema I have taken.. I 2 quart tap water enema I can hold for about 10-15 minutes, A fleet (if I am constipated and really need it. about 5 mins max. I really hard SSE only about a min or two, and an oil enema I can hold for an hour or more...

Gdfu, I can only hold water with a balloon retention nozzle. My surgery removed the two internal sphincters and I MUST use a balloon nozzle. I find that the EZM inflatable nozzles from Optimal Health Network are inexpensive, work fairly well and can be re-used many times before wearing out. They are about $20., last a long time and I don't have to shell out over $100. for one.

It sounds like your sphincters has lost strength over the years; mine are surgically cut out.

I don't usually hold mine for very long.

As Vicki.V wrote, if you take a slooow enema, you'll be retaining quite a bit of water for awhile. I figure I should count part of the time waiting to be completely filled as "retained time." The way I retain more water longer is by lying still and being totally relaxed.

Some on this forum talk about getting up and moving around while retaining their enemas. I couldn't do that, no way.

I usually will hold a two to three quart enema for an hour or so, to get completely cleaned out, then, a four to five quart SSE that I have been able to hold for close to an hour. If I use a plain water enema, I have to urinate about every ten minutes or so, making any long term retention impossible.

Back when I was a kid my Mother would always make me hold my enemas for no less than 10 minutes, preferably 15. But, now, I don't try to hold the water after it is injected into me. In fact, I find no pleasure in holding the water, be it either salt water, or baking soda, or even ivory soap water. What I really enjoy is the filling part of the enema and then the release isn't bad either. I just love enemas!

I think the longest I've held it is about twenty minutes or so. I haven't had the pleasure of someone trying to enforce me holding it any longer than that.

I think that after a while the water would get absorbed into your body, and if there was enough you could actually wind up killing yourself by mistake. Water intoxication is a serious thing that people can die from. so really nobody should go about looking to break an obscure world record.

I don't time how long I hold the enema before I let go. I enjoy playing with my clitty when having a full load of soapy water in my gut. The fullness of the warm water enhances the sexual pleaseure and I usually expell during my climax. I prefer taking most of my enemas on my back in the tub. Less mess to clean.

Jessica Mitford tells in her biography of King Louis VIX that his mistress held an enema during an Italian farce.

I hold my enemas until the cramps start and the enema said ready or not look out here i come

I plug to help hold in my enema, 2 hrs is my longest. so far.

Two hours ? bloody hell if i can hold a first soapy enema long enough to reach the loo i happy !

When I have a coffee enema ( one QT) i can hold it in 30-40 minutes

I don't have any pre-set goal when it cums to holding my enemas. It also depends on what type of enema you are taking, you can't hold a M&M enema as long as u can hold a saline solution.
