Are Enemas the new "In Thing?"

While surfing the net for Enema information (We all do, don't we?) one of the sites said that Enemas are the new "in thing." Any idea if that's true? There certainly seem to be a bunch of new sites now. A couple of months ago this site seemed to be the one that popped up. Now a whole host of them appear--several that also require membership or sign-ins as well.

Are Enemas "catching on" or are people just getting more "open?"

People are just getting more "open" me and my siblings were getting daily suppositories and weekly enemas in the 50s and 60s it was a family thing back then. We all knew when one of us was getting one but we were never allowed to see each other get a suppository or enema. Enemas have been around since prob. the beginning of time. Look at the gays in the 50s and 60s and where they are today. But what people do not realize in ancient Greece there were gays. (not that I'm against gays I've had a man inside me before). I think my oldest son is gay although he has not said anything to me but he might be embarrassed about the subject. By the way I want to thank all of you and this site. Because of all of you on this site my wife got her first successfull and enjoyable enema last night!!

Thanks!

I think enemas are brought up in movies and live shows as a way of being "naughty" about a taboo subject. Back in the 1940s and '50 moms were usually more open with others about dicussing the cleanouts they gave, even with their kids looking on.

As for enemas as an "in thing" it may be a way of getting health care back to the less expensive but reliable way it was practiced in earlier times.

Something else that may make enemas more "public" is the relatively high number of Hollywood celebs that talk openly about using colonic irrigations on various talk shows lately.

Since colonics are not necessesarily available in many smaller cities and can be quite expensive, I think a lot of people may decide to try enemas since enemas and colonics are similar in a lot of respects. Heck, some viewers may decide they like it and search out groups like this one for more information.

The internet is reviving enemas interest again.People now have a way to share their enema experiances without embarassment.These new enema forums are attracting younger folks who never had an enema from their parents.The word is out how enemas can enhance the sex lives of many couples.All we need now is for a major TV network or newapaper to publish a story about enemas.Soon people will be flocking to the local drug store to buy enema supplies and the craze will be on.Let the good times flow.w/m72yrs/Western Ma

It is great to see that the enema is becoming more excepted todays soon the taboo thing will be history and the cataloges for differant products will come out again whitch means we will have alot mor choices for what we want

I wish you were right. However, I don't think this is going to happen any time soon. The anal taboo is still too great.

I've seen a lot of porn involving milk in bulbs being shot up someone's butt recently. One of the funner ones I pirated even went so far as to add food coloring to the milk. Blue enemas! The "Big Wet Asses" series usually starts & ends each scene with just such an enema, and there's 9 or 10 in the series with a good 6-8 scenes per 'DVD'. Nowhere on the cover does it say anything about enemas.

Obviously the internet allows for more people to find information in the privacy of their own home. I had no idea that others enjoyed enemas sexually. Hopefully the increased communication will lead to greater knowledge and acceptance of things in society.

Nope enemas isn't the new "In Thing" that would be wishfull thinking 😁

I'll wait for the day when enemas are an "in thing." I'm surprised they aren't. Imagine how many people could enhance their sex lives through a little education. I'm sure that some people don't even know what an enema is. Its a shame really.

I was reading on the net somewhere that 70% of the U.S. population uses enemas. That's 7 out of 10 people, think about that the next time you are in a grocery line.

Several years ago i read-in WSJ

I started my website in 1995 when the worldwide web was pretty new and I can attest to the fact that sexually-oriented enema play is nothing new. My site got over 500,000 hits per month right from the time I opened it. People are simply getting more open about it.

The Collector

Sir, you are certainly a champion to our cause! I've gotta wonder how many hits per month your site gets today?

I sure hope enemas are becoming the in thing. I have been working on a web site for about two years now. I hope to have it live in the coming months.

Atta boy Danny! My recent research, compared to several years ago, has shown me there are far more enema websites, more doms and a few subs who cater to enema play, and even a few escorts who are catching on to the idea. 😁 It appears to me there may be an "enema revolution" in the making! lol If so, I think I've noticed a few Sons of Liberty on this website.

70% of population use enemas? i rather doubt the number is that high,, more like 7 in a hundred,,(just a guess) laxatives are a multi billion dollar industry, and are advertised on tv,, if that many people were doing regular enemas you would definately see more on store shelves, have you noticed that its very difficult to even find a standard 2 quart red bag like grand ma had hanging on her bathroom door...

What has happened? Enemas were popular for their therapeutic benefits until the mid part of the last century.....1950 to 1960. Physicians recommended them and family tradition supported their benefits. Many of the benefits were unknown at the time but the "wellness" feeling followed an enema.

This is what has happened....the pharmaceutical industry has taken over the way the medical community thinks. Their lobby and information distribution has downplayed the benefits of an inexpensive method to deal with day to day occurrences and has replaced this wonderful therapy with hundreds of OTC medications(Over the Counter). Even though physicians realize the benefits of an occasional enema they will be portrayed as quacks if they recommend this process..

I deal with my primary doctor routinely about minor aches and pains and the treatment of these. I tell him how I deal with a problem and he is astonished that I even know about the remedy. (Glucosamine and DMSO are the current subjects) I have great results with these...surgery was his recommended fix.

Quackery indeed!

About 30 years ago there was a drug store called Brooks in a near by town that had a display about 6 ft tall and 8 ft long of all kinds of enema and douche equipment. today even the nearby Walmart doesn't any thing like it.

I think that with the internet here that a lot of people that are just browseing and coming across enema sites. keep returning and think Hmmm I gotta try that.

So maybe some store some where will get the nerve to expand.

Hmm maybe I should look into opening a speciality store.

People today is much more interested in healt care... and enemas indeed are one of the most enjoyable and versatile ways to get some benefits. Or even just pleasure. Internet is doing the rest

Someone else mentioned celebs talking openly about colonic irrigation. You even have Paris Hilton doing it. Not that I admire her by any means, but people like her and others are bringing the topic of colonic irrigation into the media and into pop culture. I believe colonic irrigation is on the wispy fringe of becoming a (not the) new "In Thing", but I wouldn't say the same of self-administered or partner-administered enemas, especially in a sexual context.

Then there's the topic of colon health and detox in general. It's talked about on network television, cable TV, magazines and other media outlets. Perhaps this ties in somewhat with the resurgence of colonic irrigation.

Another item that may bring enemas for health back into more of a mainsream position is our growing concern about taking pharmaceutical drugs. Many people today think twice before taking medication, whether OTC or prescribed. However, I don't see enemas soon becoming as openly accepted as they were back in the first half of the 20th century.

In sum, I think the enema will linger on the fringe at best, but perhaps it won't be considered such a horrible thing as it was in the latter half of the 20th century.

And, you know, when the enema was popular it also brought out the worst in some people. Parents would force their kids and even use enemas as punishment. I'd call that child abuse. Those halcyon days perhaps weren't so grand.

I don't think there is anything "new" or "in" about enemas. i do think that with the web people will look to find those topics that they are interested in (like here) and use them to connect with other like minded people.

i also think that curious folk will find sites like this and may finally try it because they were able to learn about it. Try it - you'll like it!

Actually "NO" Enemas have been around for a long time. It's actually the internet that has opened this to hundreds of curious and dedicated lovers of enemas. It seems as a new fad. But, groups like this has allowed enema lovers as ourselves to speak freely and meet other emates. I have been a serious enema lover for 40+ yrs and to find many novice people interested or curious is great.

The Greeks werent actually gay so much as Bi-sexual.

No they have be around for a long time! It has just been in the closet!

My new web site on enemas is up and going if anyone would like the name of it just let me known.

I wouldn't say they're "in" in terms of people using them for sexual reasons. You either have a fetish for that or you don't. But they could be gaining popularity for purely health reasons. As other have mentioned, many celebrities use colonic irrigation and this may be influencing younger people to believe that colonics and enemas will help them lose weight (when that is not the case). I sometimes peruse Yahoo! Answers for questions people post about colonics and enemas and a surprising number of askers and answerers have gone the back door route for health reasons.

You also have to consider that many people use enemas before anal sex. If society is getting more permissive about anal sex, that's going to create a rise in people wanting to know how to prepare themselves for it and of course an enema is the preferred method. I saw a question on Yahoo! Answers recently from a woman who had done the boneheaded move of shoving a shower hose up her ass for an enema before doing anal. She was worried that she might have harmed herself.

They are not an "In Thing" but the internet has made them more accepted.

I miss the Sears catalogs full of equipment :'(

The facts speak for themselves...enemas are the new in thing. Just so you all know, I have been in close contact with many enema product companies because we are gathering sponsor for efest west. All of the companies including Klystra, Medical toys, and others have noted that sales of enema products have been increasing each year, and last year was their best in sales so far...which says a lot considering how shitty the economy has been for the last 3 years.

Company owners claim that there is a wholistic movement that accounts for half their new biz, while younger people getting into enema play and related things accounts for the rest of the growth sales.

Enemas are showing uo more and more in mainstream movies and TV (jackass, house, grey's anatomy, MTV, and others) which takes the edges off their taboo nature, and puts them back in the public's eyes.

Just my two cents.
