How much water is safe? Colon capacity?

I can usually always take a gallon at least after one enema. I have taken 6 quarts (1.5 gallons) but, not very often. Can anybody else take this much or more?

In 1983, I managed to take 7 litres of water. Boy did it make me nauseous. I was so nauseous, I brought up both my previous meal, as well as the next one. Never again.

I first clean out with a 4 qt soap suds enema some times I can not take it all but I try my best to then try to hold it 10 min. if I can then I switch to my JBL and the last time I all most took the full bag must have been a little over 5 QT's of plain warm water / Really Love Enemas for over 45 years

Well, mine will hold a gallon, without a whole lot of distension. I'd like to find out how much it will hold, but I need better equipment, and preferably a like-minded partner.

2 qts.seems to be the MAX for me. From what ive seen most people can't usually take over 2 quarts

I can sometimes rake 4-quarts, but I never try to force it. If it gets painful, I quit. Today, I did manage to take 4-quarts with no problems.

I can take 3 quarts alone without pain, but with help, I can take 4 quarts and a half, but the last quart is sometime paintful.

I feel 2 liter is very comfortable.

3 liters is what I have settled on. Its about all I can do with out too much discomfort, I have on occasion done 4 quarts but its detracts for the pleasure if I have to concentrate on how much is going in.

Sometimes I can take 4-quarts,but most of the time I take about 3 1/2. I don't try to force it.

I take two quarts to start then half that agin to get a good clean out

but I sometimes have a little cramping as I expel

The average human colon is about 1.5 meters long and can stretch to 7 cm in diameter. So the volume is about six quarts. However, that assumes a completely empty colon at the time of the enema. Also, don't forget that the weight of that volume of water is about 12.5 pounds, so the pressure will be tremendous.

Normally, the pressure will cause an involuntary expulsion of the enema when the colon can no longer hold any more water. Using a retention device to overfill, is extremely dangerous.

I usually take 3 quarts, but have taken 4 to 5 quarts once I am cleaned out. However, it depends on the person's own preference.

You should be congratulated. I have done 4 quarts on occasion, but can't hold it for very long.

I think this the secret. Do a couple of cleanouts,then try larger amounts at lower heights.

Is it actually possible to rupture the colon taking an enema? I would think the pain would bring a person to stop the flow before this could happen. Or would the water simply stop going in when you are at your limit?

Of course it is possible to rupture your colon. The human colon on average can take around 6 quarts of liquid. This has already been mentioned in prior postings and is accurate. Sure, if you work hard enough at it you can get your colon to take five or maybe even six quarts.

I am not a betting man, but I would rather take my chances on a horse at the track than taking the chance of rupturing my colon by taking that much fluid.

Honestly, I love enemas, but reading some of these postings makes me wonder what else some people have time for. If you are spending all that time trying to take that extra two or three quarts, please ask yourselves how many times a week you exercise. AND when you do, how strenuous is it. I know most of you are doing enemas for pleasure, but are some of us overdoing it.

Hate to sound like a rookie, but fairly new at this. how much volume should i start out with, and what goal should i be setting for myself.

I would start out with 2 quarts. Your goal would depend on you, how much you can take or wish to try. I usually take 6 quarts, but that is a lot and you may never wish to take that much. I think most people can reach 4 quarts, but you may be happy with never going above 2 quarts. There may also be times that you will be lucky to take 1 quart.

If you are new, you should start out with one quart of plain warm water taken slowly on you back. If that goes easily you can use two or more quarts for your second enema, which could be shortly after expelling your first enema. You should get accustomed to how the enema feels going in and give yourself plenty of time to expel the first enema before taking the second one---at least half an hour, because it probably won't come out all at once.

I agree with Susie, start out with just a plain quart of water. Don't rush! When I started out, there were times that even a quart was too much. So I just listened to my body and expelled when I needed to, and stopped worrying about the amount I took in. Little by little I worked on taking a little more each time and eventually added some castile soap to the solution. Go slow with the amount of soap you add too. If you add too much soap, you're in for a rough time.

Good luck, hope everything comes out well!! 😁

I second switchablesusie and lilfirecrackers comments. I have been giving myself enemas for almost fifty years but usually I can't take much more than a quart for the first one. In fact, I usually just take as much as comfortable for the first enema to "clear the road" and call it a "pre-enema enema". I have always considered my second enema the "real" enema. BTW, if you start using soap in your enemas, I would recommend after taking your "soapsuds" enema you take another plain water enema as a rinse. Besides, if you like enemas it's as good a reason as any to take another one 😁

My very first time, at the age of 9, I was able to do 2qts! I was the size of a typical 11 year old.

I'm 6'3" 250. I have taken 3 but I get nauseous so 2 or a little more is fine by me.

I just have to say that there is a difference in the two salts. Sea salt has no idine. Thats all I know about the two salts. I love butts 😎

I have tried many different amounts of water and have settled on about 2 and a quarter liters. This seems to be just the right amount for the full feeling, the rounded belly look, the right sense of ergency to expel and still be able to hold for a few mins. I enjoy recipes and the different feelings my body gets from them so holding is important. It also serves as a control amount so what I add to the water I can control better.

Security first of all : about one year ago I started with 2 quarter enemas, in few month I got used to 3 quarter enemas. Only twice in my life I coulb bare 3 1/2 quarter, the problem is that when I feel very "full" I can keep it inside only two or three minutes, pity !!

I'd suggest your goal be to enjoy and find some pleasure with your enema. But not everyone does enjoy taking them. I enjoy giving them myself. The volume you take has been suggested by some of the above members. Start out plain and small. You can always take more when you feel able. The same goes for when you try mixtures. Start out with a diluted solution and add a little each time until you get the desired feeling. Good luck.

Hello all,

I think I've finally discovered the root of a desire I've had most of my life. I'm 42 and for most of my life I've had an interest in shoving things up my butt but it wasn't until very recently (just this weekend, in fact) that I found out how pleasurable an enema can be.

I've done a vast amount of reading on this site and others to make sure I don't do something really stupid but there are still some gray areas.

1. Should I always take as much water as I can hold?

2. Since I'm still very new at this, is it harmful to do it more than a certain number of times a day/week?

I'm doing this partly for pleasure and partly for health. Thanks for any responses.

Well, welcome to a place where we don't judge; if you're like a lot of us, you might still be struggling with just what your discovery of this form of pleasuring implies for some other values with which you may have been brought up.

My personal advice to you would be to just relax and not over-do anything. Since your're aware of the health aspects, you probably also have recognized that klasmiphilia is still emerging from its closeted past.

You haven't given us any indication of your current marital/sexual status ... whether you're gay or straight, or if you have a partner, and what her/his attitudes toward your new pursuit might be.

By all means .... keep on reading and exploring, and I think you'll come to see enemas as just one more chapter in learning to be confortable with your physical self. And unlike many forms of physical gratification, they are one which is likely to come more into acceptance as you advance in years.
