Back in the "good old days," when we lived on the farm where there was little exposure to the outside world, enemas during the summer were given by the outhouse which was about 30 yards from the house late Saturday afternoon. And all us kids got them at the same time, the same way. Mom had her 12-ounce bulb syringe and a 10-quart bucket of soapy water to tend to the three of use. We were told simply to undress, hang our clothes on the nails on the side of the outhouse, bend over and take what mom delivered.
Even when Sis and I were in HS, the ritual was just the same ... and we didn't think anything of it.
We would undress ... she would bend over, hands on her knees, legs spread, mom would lube the nozzle, insert it the first time very slowly, and squeeze gently. She repeated this several times, then made my sister stand for a while as I got my enema the same way. Obviously I watched her as she got the enema, she watched as I got mine ... and my little sister, two years younger than me, was always last. Because we had a two-holer, often times my sister and I ended up sitting side-by-side in the outhouse, expelling.
Mom usually gave a second round of soapy enemas until the water was all used up, then refilled the bucket with clear water, and administered dtwo or three rinse enemas.
People today question everyone usuing the same enema equipment ... back then we had one syringe, plenty of petroleum jelly, and obviously plenty of water. The enema process for the three of us usually took about an hour or so.
After supper, usually about 7 p.m., we took our Saturday baths, also outside, all at the same time, washing each other's backs.
Life was so different, so much more simple back then, and obviously, a lot more innocent.
Until after high school, I sometimes wondered why my sister occasionally didn't get her enema on Saturday. That's how innocent the world was.
