The Psychological Aspects of Enemas

Backpacking trips always mess up my system (but then again so do many other things, most of which I'm not completely clear about). I usually wind up taking some sort of unclogger with me, though not usually enemas (often Dulcolax suppos).

Then when I get back I clean out.

For my bowels I find that if they are going to work they'll start back up within 3 days.

Most of the time I just enjoy them and don’t think why. But intellectually I realize that the dom sub aspects of giving and receiving are so interesting to think about. The control can be so arousing as many of us are controlling people in real lice. Then the complete liberation of surrendering control over something so intimate is equally fascinating. And the bonus they both arouse. No questions here but have you thought about it Happy for both sides.

@wildbill

VERY well said! Seems we have much in common! And have been there on vacation in oh too close of quarters not able to ‘fill’ my needs and ‘fill’ my bottom!

So fo me.... As much as I like to consider myself.. and am a ver amazing switch LOL

The Psychological asapect of a good edema series is ultimate submission. Even if alone and only ‘submitting to’ a beautiful 2 1/2 red rubber vintage Davol bag.. feeling your body consumed and taken over one drip at a time is the ultimate submission!

For me it is most definitely psychological because I don't find any arousal in doing solo enemas.. But I do find arousal if it is given to me by someone else. I guess the psychology behind it is that I am submitting my myself to someone else to take control of my bowels. Also I am letting someone view and manipulate my most intimate area. The physical aspects is the nozzle insertion and the expelling that I find erotic with expelling that makes me very aroused.

@WildBill2, in your post below you mention quitting Omeprazole as well as other harmful things. What did you do in the short term to alleviate the issue that Omeprazole was prescribed for you? I have tried quitting Omeprazole but have returned to the same issues for which I was prescribed the med and that is heartburn and difficulty swallowing certain food. I was prescribed the med following an upper GI by my gastroenterologist.

Yes for me the mental aspect is as important as the physical, Have many vivid memories of growing up and being Mothers boy

... I attribute it entirely to switching my diet to the new Plant Paradox Program designed by Stephen Gundry, MD, and stopping the use of the drugs ibuprofen and omeprazole (Prilosec), which Dr. Gundry says do great damage to the mucus lining of the intestines.

There are numerous articles on the internet that aren't very favorable towards Dr. Gundry.

I doubt that klismaphilia is genetic. I have 3 siblings, all girls. Two of them have no interest in enemas, one (and myself, obviously) cannot get enough of them. We all got enemas as needed (and Lisa & I, as wanted) from Mom growing up. I'm sure Mom was a klismo, so maybe there is some tendency; but why didn't the other two catch the "bug"? I realize now that once Mom realized Lisa and I loved them (she caught us doing each other), she was more than happy to give them to us anytime we wanted, or to let us give to each other.

The loss of control - and submission to something that is so private and uncomfortable, but that I subconsciously know feels good and crave

I've been reading some recent articles that say the gut (via vagus nerve) is the next best "brain" we have (hence the colloquial "gut feeling".) There are times when i cannot explain why my gut needs a few good enemas. So I'm happy to oblige. I know the rest of me likes them, so why not enjoy it?

NO.

First of all, when the author who coiled the term "second brain" he did that as CLICK BAIT because it's a catchy term.

Second, the term "brain" was used because the immune system (in this case, the portion in the gut) is able to detect antigens and produce antibodies just like the rest of the immune system in the bone marrow, thymus gland, tonsils, spleen and lymphatic system. The term was pivotal in helping Michael Gershon sell his book by that name.

Thank you, @SwitchableSusie. I retract my post, and am embarrassed at being a victim of clickbait.

While I agree with you that nobody is born as a klysmo or a chef, I would argue that we are born with attributes that make someone more likely to be a klysmo or a chef. There are those of us here that seem to be wired physically to enjoy anal stimulation. Others on the other hand seem to distinctly not like having anything put in there. I would argue that it's a matter of time before those of us who enjoy anal stimulation start experimenting, and will eventually figure out how to get water in there, and discover that we're klysmos, even if we don't know the term. Parents giving enemas may introduce us to klysmaphilia earlier than we would have discovered that ourselves, but I think it's just a matter of time for those who enjoy anal stimulation. In the same way, someone who discovers a natural talent for preparing food, and enjoys doing that is more likely to become a chef than someone who just prepares food for nourishment ... and so on.

I had to respond as a chef and a klismo. Growing up I was given the opportunity to learn how to cook from all the great meals prepared by my mother and grandmother. This definitely influenced my path toward chefdom. Sadly I recieved no enemas but at this point am totally hooked. I did discover my mothers travel douche kit a young age under the bathroom sink. That was the beginning of a lifetime of anal liquidity for me. I do believe you gravitate towards that which you discover, by purpose or chance, you are good at.

The Psychological aspect?

I think some of it comes down to the Dominance/Submission.

One of the first things we learn to control in our lives is our bowels.

When you insert that nozzle, you know you will in effect be infantilized.

You WILL in a matter of several minutes lose control of the first thing and one of the most important things in life that you learned to control. Although you WILL fight for control because it's the only thing you CAN do you will lose the fight in a matter of minutes! So, from the time you open that valve, until you have been on the toilet for 10 minutes or so, you are in an almost infant-like state.

. . . . .

It is only a matter of dominance and submission if that is your mindset.

If I say to my husband, "give me a fucking enema" I am the dominant one AND I get the enema.

"Infantilized"... I don't think so. 😁

Trust me, Lisa - as a kid you learn to control a lot before you develop control over your bowels.

It is only a matter of dominance and submission if that is your mindset.

Interesting. I'm a switch also but t would be fun to try a Dom/Dominant-controlled enema from my partner by doing it that way! I've always just enjoyed the intense submission and humiliation of getting it from my Domme so much we've always done it that way, either in person or by my fantasy.

Is an enema just a legitimate way to satisfy our anal cravings? We are told as kids not to stick things into our butt hole. But an enema nozzle, whether on a bulb or on a hose, is specifically intended to be stuck in there. It has no other purpose. And we enjoyed sliding the nozzle in and out even without water.

I think it is both "taboo" and submission, combined. Some people say it may also relate to some enema experience in our youth that we have turned into a sexualization. That's what my shrink said, right before I fired her LOL!

Why would parents have a reason to say, "don't stick anything into your butt hole?" They don't say, "don't stick things into your eyes", "don't cut your wrists with a slicing knife," they might say don't stick things into your nose. My parents never told me NOT to stick anything into my anus or vagina. The only orifices I was given instruction about was my ears--the only thing I was allowed to put into my ear was my elbow. 😁

I never have had or sought an orgasm during my enema time. For me an afternoon of 3 or 4 enemas is a time of self care and indulgence. I love the warmth and sensations of a gentle, relaxing enema series.

Every part of the enema experience is enjoyable from the tingle of anticipation to the insertion of a well lubbed nozzle to the warm pressure of fullness. All this resulting in a sense of vitality and energy afterwards.

Enemas were a sexual domination thing for me at first. I mentioned enemas to my girlfriend one day. She got excited and said she wanted to give me one. She did, and as she filled me up, she also gave me a hand job that made me cum like crazy.

Enemas showed me how anal erotic I was. I soon discovered butt plugs to help me retain an enema. I also discovered my favorite way for my girlfriend to give me a hand job--while fucking my ass with a long, fat, ribbed dildo with a handle. She's now my wife, and with my encouragement she's added new kinds of anal play for me to enjoy--pegging me and fisting me. Anal play is only a small part of or sex lives, but I enjoy receiving anal play from her so much that I developed a strong, recurring fantasy about us swinging with another couple, which leads one day to the girls watching and cheering us guys as we give each other a good ass fucking.

My enemas evolved into a way to partially satisfy my getting-fucked-in-the-ass fantasy. I started using wider and longer nozzles, up to a foot long and three inches in diameter. I got into colon tubes too, and I became able to fully insert a one-inch-diameter colon tube over five-feet long. Except for a man fucking my ass or my wife pegging or fisting me, an enema is the ultimate anal intrusion, especially when it's almost too hot and delivered in high volume with a huge nozzle or a long colon tube.

More important than catering to my fucked-in-the-ass fantasy, my enemas simply feel wonderful. I crave the feeling of a fat nozzle sliding into me and locking into my rectum. I love the sensation of a very warm gallon bag filling me up. I find almost orgasmic the wondrous experience of a powerful, pulsing, involuntary expulsion that makes me grunt as it completely ejects that warm gallon fill in mere seconds. I can enjoy these sensations for hours at a time. Enemas relax me, energize me, and always make me very horny.

Enemas make me so horny that orgasm is unavoidable. I often masturbate while slowly running a very warm gallon into me. Sometimes, I make myself wait to cum until right after my enema session. I usually stuff myself with a fat butt plug and try to seduce my wife. If she doesn't want sex, I resort to masturbation. My favorite way is to trade the butt plug for a long, fat double dong, and ride it up and down as I get myself off. For me, enemas and orgasms just go together.

I always loved the physical feelings of an enema ever since seeing my mom's amber rubber enema bag hanging in her bathroom as a kid, all the way until now. But once I discovered that I also loved to be submissive to a woman partner for all the satisfactions of being dominated/humiliated, that added in a whole new dimension of enjoyment to taking or bring given enemas. I love both aspects of enema-taking, both physical and psychological/emotional, not sure which one more. The intensity of submissive/humiliation feelings while being dominated and forced to allow an enema hose as well as the liquid invasion to fill you up is quite extraordinary and satisfying in addition to the wonderful physical/sexual feelings of filling and distention. It's always an exciting adventure.

The psychological aspects of an enema, especially given by another are considerable.

First, you must expose your nude body to another

Secondly, you are allowing the most intimate part of your body to be viewed, manipulated and violated by another. The enema becomes a phallic substitute. You are, in effect, being fucked by that nozzle (dick) and being 'ejaculated' into by the bag (balls)

Another aspect is deeper. You are giving up control of your bowels, a function we are trained in from the earliest ages, to another. This, in a way, infantilizes (sp) the subject and they become submissive to the giver.

The physiological aspects of Enemas and other anal things along with spanking have impacted me for life. While enemas, rectal temps, suppositories, laxatives or spanking were not abusive in my childhood, I would say they were just common place. They not only happened to me but also to my siblings. They were also common place among the neighborhood kids. We all knew we got these things and sometimes talked about them but that was all. In our household the red bulb was often see drying at the bathroom sink. The enema bag was hung behind the bathroom door in the first floor bathroom (we were lucky to have two bathroom).

I don’t think my sibling have the fetish I do on these things and I don’t remember getting hard while an enema was happening but I would get hard after especially as I got older, i.e., in puberty. I think was a control and maybe a domination thing. My mom seemed to be able to tell when you needed an enema. It could be attitude or maybe behavior. Sometimes if we had gas as well. Pre-puberty she would ask did you have a BM today or when was your last BM. It was kinda like how did sleep last night in conversation. Your answer of course drove the outcome and even if you said you had a BM this morning, if she determined other things as mentioned above were in play, a suppository or enema would happen anyways.

In terms of frequency, some weeks you might get one or two and then not have one for several weeks. I can’t really remember a pattern that would say frequency. I do know that once i started into puberty they slacked off but still happened less frequently. My last one was at 17.

From a cooperation standpoint, resistance was futile. If you did cooperate, they would happen anyways, you just got spanked first. A red sore bottom and enema too. You could complain, I don’t want an enema but carefully. It is interesting that we always got bare bottom spankings and of course enemas were bare bottom as well. Never totally naked just the waist down.

Also, another thing I associate with an enema is a rectal temperature. Because while they are two separate things, I remember most of the time a rectal temp seemed like it always preceded the enema.

In summary, for me, this is a form domination and control. I guess it was considered at the time to be good parenting. It had a level of intimacy and care even though it did not seem like it as a kid growing up. But it did have an impact on me for life. While I personally don’t like taking enemas myself, I do enjoy the submission aspect of being told I am going to get one, no questions asked and if I don’t cooperate there will be consequences. This is a turn on for me today.

Nicole, in posting to this topic said, "Sometimes I think this craving we all have is a curse."

I often curse when I can't get my enema! Such times occur occasionally when I'm on a trip or a house guest and have left my Jugbag behind.

It may that always weird mixture of pleasure and pain that goes along with the process.

Enemas are both pleasurable and painful, often at the same time.

That's not easy to get your head around, least of all for a child!
