Enemas coming up in general conversation

Has any one else been in a mix small group conversation and had an enema come up? I was in 2 such conversations. At a business meeting one time some one said they heard of someone setting a record eating 51 hot dogs. One very attractive lady pop up and said "give me and enema".

The second was at a wedding reception. I think my best friend and his sister grow up receiving enemas from their mother. I don't think he like them. I don't know how we got on the subject but his sister said "break out the Ye Old Enema bag".

In both cases I thought to myself--I would be glad to help you take and enema.

I don't think people say things like that just off the cuff. They must take an enema every once in a while.

Has anyone else been surprised like this?

Just recently I was at a very formal luncheon with some other professionals in my field. After the meal, people were chatting, and I happened to strike up a conversation with a very nice, well-dressed lady whom I'd never seen before about what delicious and healthy food we'd just had. She casually mentioned that she had just returned from a health retreat where the participants were involved in special diets and other treatments. When I innocently inquired as to what some of those activities were, she smiled and said, "Well, they gave us lots of enemas--every day, in fact!" I think I actually blushed, it was so unexpected, but I didn't have the nerve to ask her any details. Life is full of missed opportunities sometimes... :'(

I've been at backyard picnics where some woman would bring up how she had to give enemas to her daughter all the time but her son only occasionally. The topic always made me wet.

Also, one guy (Phil) that I worked around mentioned them oftem. One time the bottled water guy came into the office with a plastic jug under each arm and Phil blurted out with "Hey Vicki - Your enema just arrived" That really made me blush and the others laugh.

By now, I have come to the conclusion that one must be somewhat bold if enema discussions are going to happen. I had been in the hospital for major surgery. I was getting regular doses of stool softener and the topic of BM's came up often with the nurses. One particular nurse seemed less inhibited and she seemed quite concerned about my failure to have a BM. I liked her personality. Finally, she stated that something else might be needed. I told her that I was surprised that I hadn't been given an enema yet and the discussion went on for some time about prior enema experiences at home and in the hospital.

After I got out, several friends inquired about my hospitalization. I often stated that I was a good patient. When the timing seemed right, I interjected that one should never argue with a nurse who has sharp instruments or an enema bag. A few keyed on the enema comment and the discussion progressed.

Dear Group,

Grew up in 40's & 50's, mother was an old-time nurse 1929 to 60's. Sis and I got enemas, suppositories and probably rectal temps (I remember none).

Back then enemas were mentioned when relatives got one, I snooped in family bathrooms, often found syringes.

Had the record for being in bathrooms!

Enemas and "the word" did something to me (thou I hated them then), especially when I learned girls got them and girls had fannies. Plus sis and I fought some, enjoyed hearing her get one. Peeked once, she got from Armstrong Artweave Black HWB with Black Hose and Adult Rectal Pipe.

I got the Artweave Red/Orange Bag. Once came home from Elementary School, sis was on toilet, mom said "she came home sick and I gave her an enema".

Recall when someone was sick, mom said "Shoot It Up Their Fanny"!

Can't figure out why I'm here.

Well, while some of my post are a bit fantisy, I recently moved back home in my parents basement and in a round about way brought up enemas to my step mom. ( Who gave me enemas as a child) We talk about them all the time, refering to the health of them. We have even shared some books with enema recipes. Very cool to talk openly about them with the person who got me started.

It once came up at work when one guy was making jokes about getting an enema for a medical procedure. One thing led to another and I mentioned Klismophelia. Everyone looked stumped and I just winked and said, "Look it up." Our secretary did. Shut them right up!

That was about it.

Recently visited a friend who was scheduled for her second colonoscopy. She commented that she hated the stuff she had to drink-both drinking it and the resulting cramps and expulsions, especially after she felt there was nothing more to expell. I suggested that she consider "a liquid diet for two days and enemas until clear". She immediately bought into the idea. And then asked me if I had ever done the prep in this way. I said that I did. Her next question was how many? We talked about it for a while. She asked if I would help her with them. Four days later we both had a wonderful time. I had to come back the following morning to give two more.

After the procedure, she asked her doc if she was adequately cleaned out. He said, "Perfectly."

I've had it come up before in conversation with my gf. We were talking about Marilyn Monroe and I brought up that she might have died from taking a sedative through enema. I don't know whether that's true or not but I have read it before. So if you want to bring up enemas with that might be a good way to do it, regardless of whether that rumor is true.

Been around three different people when talk about enemas came up: two were family members and one a co worker.

First was my sister in-law talking about taking one to lose some weight where she could get in her dress for a wedding she needed to attend.

Second was my wife's daughter talking about how she was given them as a child and hated them. That she never gave her childern any while they were growing up.

Third was the co worker talking about her problem. I told her an enema would take care of it. She never made a comment one way or other.
