"Boomer" Enemas

In the beginning of the "boomer" generation a rage for enemas existed.

A post on the french forum reminded me of just how much enemas had become part of our culture in those days. The post relates how a "play doctor kit" of the 60's included a toy stethoscope, band-ades, a fake syringe and...a small enema bulb complete with nozzle !

Some health spas and resorts even offered enema service: you could get an enema as many times as you liked for a reasonable fee. Many households had an enema bag and nozzle in plain view on the back of the bathroom door.

I find it fortunate that some "boomers" were able to find others here to chat with regarding enemas.

Enemas have somehow fallen out of favor. If they make a comeback in popularity, I think it's because the curiosity of the younger set has made for some experimentation. When I went off to college the first thing I bought before I even bought a desk or furniture was an enema bag. lol. I was lucky enough to find a gf who allowed me to experiment. And experiment I did !

I find it strange how they are such a taboo when colonic irrigation is regularly on tv and in magazines, not that I am complaining. It seems that people are more comfortable with a huge tube, a stranger and an extortionate fee than with simply doing it themselves.

Obviously it is not helped by clinics and health spas claiming that the two are nothing alike and that a colonic will have a far greater effect.

By the time "boomers" began appearing in 1946, the enema was a well-established hospital and home remedy. Doctors usually endorsed them and moms had become experienced in giving them to older children whenever they thought needed.

To me, even a "good' enema or two can't match the occasional colonic for a cleanout.

I find and enema is more of a clean out once a week in a series than a colonic, I feel more cleaned out as well as refreshed.

The colonic I use when I am fasting for seven days and use them quit daily.

I feel that the enema is more cleansing during the weekly due to the knowledge of fluid used and the extent or high the water goes and the series of 4 to5 enemas being completed.

A colonic is great when all of the bodies organs are cleaning out and you need the continual washing is needed that is my thoughts anyway and I still have my bag hanging in the bathroom, wouldn't have it any other way.

As soon as the next generation finds out that enemas feel good, they will incorporate it as something they discovered. I like to dream about a day where recreational enemas are as common as day spas.
