How long can you hold your enema?

I held a punishment enema for almost 17 years, and finally got a divorce.

LMAO waterbottom 😁

Usually with a colon tube insertion & my high enema, I can easily hold for 20 minutes. It seems if I'm distracted i can relax and hold it longer. A good time to read some of the great enema stories we have on this site.

I have never really paid attention to retention time, as it varies depending on what I have used, the position I mam in, and what I am doing. My body will tell me when it is time to release it.

How long? Not even five minutes for a large one. I don't think retaining it is the idea. I do agree that if taken slowly there is some retention time "built in". Besides the longer one holds it the greater chance it will be absorbed and exited by the kidneys.

I grew up getting enemas and had to hold for 5-10 minutes in order for the enema to "work" as Momn put it.

If I couldn't hold for the full time it ment that the enema didn't work and i would get another soapy enema. Now I try to hold my enema for 5 minutes but if the guy giving me the enema says longer than I sure do and enjoy it

Enemas are not a contest for me, so I've never tried. After I'm done filling I move immediately to the toilet to relax and expel. If I had to guess about a "world record" I'd say an enema could be held until all is absorbed (depending of course on a reasonable volume).....probably stress your kidneys a bit though.

Generally 30 minutes to 1hour with 4 quarts.

I am relatively still know so i can only hold it for 3 to 5 minutes then have to go expel.

I usually relax with my enema for about 10 minutes, before my brain tells my body, it's time to relieve myself of this one and start preparing for the next.

It depends on the type of enema. As a child, I was given milk and molasses or honey enemas via a bulb syringe, at first 4 oz., later 6 and finally as a teen 8 ounces which I had to hold for 30 minutes which was very uncomfortable during the last five to ten minutes. The balloon nozzle mom inflated inside assured that the enema was not expelled prematurely but rather exploded into the toilet as soon as mom deflated the nozzle. I had to retain the soapy or salty enemas for twenty minutes minimum, but more I could. The last enema in a series was always an herbal distention enema given by a colon tube to completely fill the colon and had to be retained for 45 minutes to an hour. My older sisters got the same types of enemas and a catheter was inserted into us so that we could retain the large, final enema without having to get up and pee. We continue to do the same and other ingredient enemas.

Also as a child, I was sometimes given a bulb syringe enema with olive oil or mineral oil just before bedtime for constipation. I had to assume a knee-chest position and maintain it for five minutes. Then, I would sleep with the enema inside and get several enemas the next morning to clean out the oil. I have had to retain emollient enemas, mostly potato starch until they were completely absorbed. As a child, I really disliked not being allowed to expel them. They were given for diarrhea.

I usually tend to hold an enema anywhere from 10-20 mins if it's a warm water/isotonic salt water/ baking soda and salt enema. For purgative recipies like M&M or epsom salts or Glycerin Soln I last 10 mins at most.

For coffee enemas or small volume enemas (upto 2qts ) I can easily retain them for half an hour or so

Maybe a few minutes then i want to empty and enjoy filling up again with another enema

I suppose for me retention, as the pain of me having to hold in an enema in my intestines for a couple of hours, without leaking once, makes me feel good

I have never given or taken an enema for the purpose of cleaning out; they have always been 100% erotic and pleasurable. (Although I did give one GF her first due to constipation, but that was completely medical) So for me, the issue of hold time has never come up. When solo I will take/hold the enema until I come, which is usually as the bag empties or within a few minutes of being full, and then quickly go to release. This isnt counting however, the ‘shower shot’ enemas using the nozzle I made for my shower hose. Those aren’t deep or erotic really, I just wash out because I can. I try to hold somewhat as I go about the rest of my shower activities.

When giving to a partner, I haven’t ever required her to hold the enema for a set time. I have made her hold it so I can enter her vagina or ass for some incredible enema sex though. The double balloon nozzle has come in handy for that a few times. But we’re certainly not looking at the clock at the time!

I haven’t yet given a sub a punishment enema, but if/when I do, I can definitely see there being a time/hold factor in play, along with lots of gentle or spanking encouragement! It’s on my list to try!

Don’t think it is a question of how long but how long is safe to hold. From what I understand after a period of time the body will absorb the water. So I would think 15 minutes max is safe but perhaps some of you know

It depends so much on what is in it and how big it is and how fast you take it. Maybe the phase of the moon too. Relax and enjoy the feelings and what ever pleasures from a partner if you have one. Unless you are being punished this as all about pleasure.

When I was a kid my mother always made me hold a soapsuds enema for 5 minutes. She set a timer and held my butt cheeks together to force me to hold it no matter how badly I needed to go. A few times she made me hold it for 10 minutes if it was a second enema after the first one didn't produce satisfactory results. That felt like torture as repeated waves of cramping made me feel as if I was going to poop it all out in spite of her squeezing my butt cheeks tightly together.

Depends on the size. When I'm doing a 2 liter one I can only hold it five or ten minutes. I do a lot of breathing exercises to get through it. I would love to set a timer so I know just how long I'm actually holding it.

I can't hold my enema at all. Most of the time I can't even get all the 2 quarts run in before I need to expel. I guess enemas just are not for me.

My enemas are purely for pleasure. Generally I hold long enough to orgasm, then let it go. If my orgasm is slow in coming (ha-ha), I will release and keep going for the cum.

It depends really - my most recent enema was the first in a while and I was not able to get through the whole bag. Ideally I like to hold for 5 mins or so. In this more recent case it just tells me I need Another one

Sometimes I have taken a quart and with the help of a butt plug, been able to sleep overnight with both in me.

About 5 mins here.

I remember mom telling me to hold it 5 minutes if I could because it would work better, and if it did not produce poop it would be repeated. Since I usually only got a couple of bulbs that was not too difficult to hold. By time I was 10 I was giving myself a couple more bulbs whether the original produced anything or not. I had decided I liked those bulb enemas.

Now it is pretty much the same. I hold it a bit if I can but if not, I just give myself another. Often times I have a second regardless of what the first produced.

A proud moment in my life was when I held my enema for 25 almost 30 minutes, but that's able to be done when I'm not uncomfortably constipated otherwise at least 5-10 minutes.

I've never timed retention; but, I know as soon as I remove the nozzle or shower hose from taking in 4 qts. expulsion begins immediately for the 1st qt. or so. When taking in only 2 qts. I've laid in the tub for 5 or 10 minutes before expelling on purpose. How long could I hold it in? Never tried so I don't know. Maybe I'll try next time. If boredom doesn't get to me, I'm thinking 30 minutes is quite possible.

I find 7-10 minutes makes for a good expel. Over 15-20 minutes and it actually seems harder for me to get it out, guess that's my colon being its obstinate self.

I usually start with a 1 quart saline and immediately expel it to empty my bowels. Then I take a 1 quart coffee and baking soda enema. I regularly hold the coffee enema for an hour. I've never tried much longer but I think I could hold it indefinitely, or at least until I need to have a bowel movement. As long as you allow yourself to urinate, holding an enema isn't hard because your body slowly absorbs the enema, which reduces the urge to evacuate.
