Then and Now

I have been a Klismo all of my life. My first enema was at the hands of my mother at about age four. I remember that It hurt and I hated it. I got one from her every time I got constipated which was quite often. As time passed, I began to like them and feign constipation. By age nine or ten I was spending a long time in the bathroom and using my mother's Rexall combination bag. At about age 13, I bought my first bag, a Doval "Comfy." I knew how to use the combo bag but this one had an open top which I had no idea how to use. At first, I tried twisting the bag at the top to use it like a bulb. All that I got was a wet mess. At the same time the instructions that came with the fountain syringe mentioned that it could be used for douching. My mother did an embarrassed oral tap dance trying to evade the question and skate around the answer. In college, I had my difficulties as an underclassman, trying to find privacy to take my enemas. I don't remember ever being caught taking one but I came close several times. As an upperclassman, things got much easier since I had my own apartment and just let the bag hang up in the bathroom. From then on, I started enemas daily and have adhered to the credo, "An enema a day keeps the Doctor away." I keep to that advice to this day. I have taken enemas in hotels , Airplanes at 30.000 feet and in automobiles while I was driving down the road and sitting on a bed pan. I have had these enemas in the Sims', Reverse Sims', on my back, prone, knee chest, standing and sitting positions. The siting position is accomplished because about three years ago I purchased a Klystra JBL which I like very much. Most of my equipment is home made from plastic gallon jugs and plastic ware purchased from the hardware store. That includes my Higgy type syringe which uses a feminine bulb douche syringe and check valves of my own design. Over the years I have learned to enjoy "Colon Hydrotherapy" when I was on the road. I am now retired but have constructed a gravity system so I can to colonics at home. The home therapy is great, but I do miss the ministrations of a female practitioner with her professional equipment. All in all, I have taken enemas for over 60 years. I have injected and expelled over 20,000 gallons of enema water and am alive and very well at an age when the actuaries say I should be dead. As long as enemas can keep me healthy, both mentally and physically, I will keep taking then and keep the actuaries eating humble pie! Also remember, "Its an enema and not a race!" Enjoy the comfort that they can give you.

20,000 gallons? Hmmmm ......... sometime back I did a rough calculation for myself and came up with somewhere around 6-7K. Not any where near your number.

Hopefully, the water conservation eco-weenies don't peruse this site. Because not only are we using a lot of water for the enema itself, but also the flushes it takes to get rid of it. Just do a quick calculation how many flushes you did with each enema. Then the amount for each flush.

A long time ago, it was about 3 gallons. About 10 years ago, it was mandated that the toilet flush be a max of 1.6 gallons. But toilets seem to last forever, and the new ones are only in either a remodel or new home.

Yes, a conservationist with a major in math would not be happy.

Oh well ............

Wow. I too am a life-long klismo. Like K2mmw I had my first at about age four. Mommy and Grammy talked with me openly about what they were going to do, to help me wash out my insides. They made the whole thing sound fun before the bag ever showed up. Mommy held me over her knee and Grammy held the bag, and I found the whole experience fun.

I try to never let a day go by without my happy little enema routine. Purely for hygiene, I run the contents of a 2Q bag through me atleast twice daily, and have ever since college. So that’s a minimum of a gallon a day, or 365 gallons a year. Now add to that the water used in my enema play times, which are less than daily but not infrequent. Let me just take a flying best-guess and say that on average I use a minimum of 500 gallons a year. So,not counting the flushes but just the water that flows through the hose, I’m up to 865 gallons a year directly into my colon. And those are truly minimum numbers.

Almost a thousand gallons a year for twenty years… yeah those numbers make sense. Hugs.

Yea, that is a lot of gallons and the result of a calculation

of 365 days at one gallon per day for 60 years. That may be

a bit high, since my early enemas were less than the gallon

per day. However, I still pay a high water bill and have for

the last 25 or more years.

Thanks for your post.

Hey Bill;I am right with you with the water consumption.My enema sessions go for five or more hours with about six enemas pr session.And like you Bill,I have been doing enemas for sixty years or more.Ok the water bill is high,but that's cheap considering the enjoyment I have.After all,there are worst ways to blow your money away.We enema lovers have our priorities and for me. enemas are number one.You can't buy happiness they say,but my enema sessions keep me smiling all day long.

Hmm. This post actually made me calculate how much fluid my colon had to endure...

It can't be quantified to the liter or gallon, but it was around 3,000 gal; for me a huge amount...
