Do you prefer faster or slower enema solution flow rate?

Slow but not too slow, otherwise there will not be enough pressure to get past blockage, and it will just stop. i need a higginson pump.

Every so often, after a couple of SSEs, I do a standing shower clean-out. I fill with 3-4 qts and expel over and over in rapid succession, clamp wide open. Bending at the waist and squating to reach greater capacity I can let the effluent loose with reckless abandon. I usually lose track of how many bags I've taken.

I find it to be lots of fun. Very satisfying; I feel clean as a whistle and ever so relaxed when I'm done.

A Higginson pump is a very good idea anyway, as it gives you complete control of the injection rate without needing to hang a bag at a certain height, and also enables you to increase the pressure when necessary to overcome blocks. I use the one from http://www.optimalhealthnetwork.com

A higginson is very good when taking coffee enemas

I prefer the enema,a to be fast. I hang the bag high and let it go. When it's too slow I don't get the same enjoyment

Definitely, slower.

If I go too fast I tense up and don't get a good fill and expulsion, this is especially true if I want a nice long retention coffee enema. 😃 Doesn't seem to matter what kind of nozzle I use. (The larger balloon nozzles, by the way, seem to dead end in the rectum. Better using nozzles with holes on the sides as well as at the end.

Does a higginson pump allow for water flow without pumping, or you need to pump it to get any water in?

If the bag or bucket is high enough above the rectum, water will flow through the Higginson pump unless the back pressure is too great. The flow rate will be slower than without the pump because of the obstruction caused by the valves. I don’t stand the bucket high, so I pump the water in.

I prefer a slower flow as well but used a Higginson a great deal in the past. I liked the feeling of control over the rate of injection.

Several people have referenced rate-of-flow as a factor in retention time. I agree, but it is unnecessary to use a slower nozzle. just pinch the tube, or, in the case of a low-compiance tube e.g. Fleet bagenema, use a clamp or kink it.

Mattheww50 in post3 pointed out that temperature can cause reduced holding time. That may be true, but in my subjective experience, ice enemas (I use when overheated in summer) cause what feels to me to be an isometric, non-propulsive cramping. After a few rinses to clear some space, I can hold cold tap water indefinitely. It does cramp. but I like that. The isometric cramps aren't as satisfying to me as propulsive cramps, but are still interesting and somewhat fun for me.

He also indicated that added laxatives can reduce holding times, which would obviously be true. However, one can have a slow acting pro-laxative like senna, which becomes laxative over time inside the bowel, due to bacterial action. Still, even with bisacodyl by using small doses of less than 5 mg per bag, I can have a slower laxative effect, for longer holding. also, using a open-top bag, one can put the laxative in whenever desired, and using a colon tube, can put the laxative high up, so as to cause cramps, without forcing so much relaxation of the sphincter.

Gntlanl said(on the first page):

"Ten minutes going in and twenty minutes coming out."

That's one reason that I like laxatives in my enemas, hehe.

I'm a slowwww guy so relaxing

Coffee enemas must always be slow compared to other enemas because coffe enemas are an relaxing thing

Sometimes slow sometimes fast depends on the mood.

I enjoy nice an warm and slow and sometimes soapy.

Definitely slow. I need to savor every moment of the experience.

Slow, Warm, Softened water ( 14 gramms baking soda / liter tap water ) no soap, nothing else than water and baking soda

I use a fairly common nozzle, about an 8" long, with a bulge at the end, and end and two side openings. I like to lubricate my anus and the nozzle followed by the insertion of just the bulge part of the nozzle. Then will open the clamp for a second of two, until I can first feel the very warm water entering my rectum. Then I stop and wait till the sensation of the water entering me fades away, then I insert the nozzle a little deeper and repeat the process. Typically I then begin to hear the water as it begins to course though my rectum. I keep doing this until I have inserted the entire nozzle. Then I allow the sensation to fade once more. When I think I'm pretty settled, I will then start the flow at the lowest flow that I can and allow my intestines to expand very slowly as the water fills me.

I use very warm water and as the enema begins to fill me I can feel the wonderful sensation. I use a 2500cc bag and generally by the time I have about help of the bag inside me my Prostate has become thoroughly immersed in the warmth and pressure of the enema and I am beginning to stretch my scrotum as I fondle my testicles. A little pressure to the testicles and I can feel the deep orgasmic sensations that will take me to ejaculation. The only questions at this point is whether I will be able to hold off my orgasm till the second back or whether I will be “overcum” by the wonderful sensations. As the first bag slowly finishes, emptying itself into me, the pressure on my prostate drives me to the edge of ecstasy.

If I can control myself through the first bag, I stand, retaining the 2500cc of enema and the nozzle and begin to refill the bag. The pressure of enema as I stand continues to push me toward and orgasm as I wait for the bag to refill, and raging erection typically begins to ooze precum. I use the tip of my finger to taste the precum and add to the need to cum. By the time the bag has been filled, and I start filling again, my testicles, scrotal cords, and intestines are all beginning to ache more and more as I slowly fill.

Filling slowly, allows me to enjoy the slow ache to develop fully, until I can simply no longer hold it off. As I begin to ejaculate, the rhythmic contractions punctuate the now persistent internal aches that I love to feel. I am so totally engrossed in trying to retain the enema that I have no control over the orgasm and it spills out of me uncontrollably. As I begin to wipe the head of my penis, it typically creates an amazing secondary sensation that causes me to launch into ecstasy a second time.

Still wash in endorphins, I head to the bathroom enjoying the ache throughout in my intestines as the heaviness of the enema stretches my abdomen. Then it’s all about release and relief as I expel the wonderful enemas.

I like my enemas to be very warm and very slow so that I can savor every moment of it.

Cheers,

I agree with slow. Enema time is my time so why would I ever want to rush it?

I much prefer a slower enema.

I've found that a "fast" enema produces cramping, spoiling the entire experience.

Slower is better. 😃

Slower, of course. Allowing more time for the solution to reach the deep, dark crevices.

I rather enjoy doing both slow and fast at different times. If I'm doing more than one enema at a sitting (or lying?), the more I've cleaned out, the faster I enjoy the flow going in, just because it can go in faster without obstructions to get past. If I'm using just warm saline or baking soda or mild soap, I don't often cramp even at fast filling rates. If I do, I just slow it down but that's not often. In addition to enjoying the full feeling, I find it pleasant to feel the fluid moving around my colon fairly quickly with a fast fill. But even then, I almost always savor the full-up sensations after finishing as much as I want that day. Unless I'm intentionally trying to maximally fill like I did last month once each to reach 4 and then 5 q, I usually stop at about 3-3.5 q and just savor the distention and fullness. I was once receiving a colonic several years ago from a lady in NC, and we were talking more than usual, as we both enjoyed the conversation. She kept asking if I was too full and needed to empty, but I told her not to stop, and that i enjoyed the very full feeling because it cleaned me out better. In reality, since I do colonics almost entirely for pleasure and/or stress relief, I was just hoping to nudge her into giving me the largest colonic she was willing to do! It was extremely pleasant and stress-relieving.

I'm a fan of slower and faster depend on on the situation. Earlier enemas in the series are usually slower as there tends to be a fair bit of stuff up there that needs to be removed. Once this is done I can do higher flow rates.

I sometimes get a really intense tingly sensation when I do fairly hot fast flowin enemas. I can almost orgasm from these alone.

When I first started out on my enema journey I had to make my own kit. I used a garden hose which obviously has a much larger diameter than enema tubing. This allowed for some quite fast flows and at the time I could take fairly large volumes at a pretty fast rate. Since I've been using proper enema kit I think my body may have adapted to it (or I'm just a bit more of a wimp now) and faster flows are a bit trickier.

I think, but cannot prove, that taking it slowly reduces the cramping.

In case of constipation, with consent and cooperation of the patient, a SSE administered hot and rapid is more effective.

The 1.5 quart hospital disposable bags with included soap packet are great.

Make sure the patient takes deep breaths, massage the lower abdomen and many words of encouragement!

After the enema, remove the tube and apply pressure on the anus with a bit of toilet paper, if you don’t want a volcano eruption in the bed ;-)

Warm and slow is the way I prefer forboth myself and others when I am administering. It is easier to retain. I like the one comment about holding time. Usually 5 minutes in and at least 10 minutes holding.

I always take at least 4 qts and take perhaps 15 minutes, perhaps more, to do it. If I do it faster, it becomes uncomfortable and induces cramps some of the time.

Today i did 4 quarts in just over 1 hour. set the flow to be really slow and waited. a different experience for sure, will have to do it again some time.

I've had it both ways.

I like the fast flow high volume, because of the intense tickle, but it's usually hard to hold, so I slow it down using thumb and index finger to squeeze the hose to a slow flow.

If you've ever used a JBL this can be difficult as the flow is sometimes hard to vary.

I like both ways. Depends on my mood. I find the slower I put the water in, the longer I can retain it comfortably. Faster goes deeper but I get more cramps. Both ways are good. Just de

Ends.
