Enema fetish as addiction?

I even tried stool softeners, also tried a mild laxative, no good. The problem with the laxative, you don't know when it's going to work, or where, so back to the bag again.

Exactly! I usually let out a snort (or at least a imagined snort) when I see the claim of laxatives for "gentle action overnight" or in so many hours. A bottle of mag citrate took over 8 hours on me.

I also have a double whammy traveling. Last time I brought my bag and life was much better.

From experience, it takes almost a week to have normal bowel movements, but that's also eating the right food.

I guess I'm not expecting "normal bowel movements," but when my colon is going to cooperate I usually start getting something in a day or two (usually two).

The question is, do you keep doing it when you know you shouldn't

When you know it can potentially harm you and the benefits are limited

I need to chime in... Im finding Im giving myself enemas more often - maybe 2 or 3 times a week. I relax, I watch videos of people receiving them and wish I could find a man that would give me one. Love the orgasm I have while retaining and sleep so good afterward.

Well there are plenty of candidates here to let your wish come true. Just go slow and proceed with caution and have fun!

I believe i wouldn't use the word addiction when it comes to enemas the word dependent i think fits better

Enemas can be addictive, just like anything else. A number of years ago I recall seeing a plea for help on some website from a woman who couldn't stop thinking of enemas all day long, and did them during the majority of her free time. She knew she had an addiction, and that she needed help. I haven't tried searching for this recently, so don't know if it is still there or not. I do remember the site wasn't zity.

Any fetish can be addictive, it doesn't have to be enemas but that is a fun one!

I've posted elsewhere on Zity about my perception, or understanding of the differences, between a fetish (objects) and a paraphilia (klismaphilia). While it does seem that many of us have an inordinate interest, or obsession with enemas, they aren't necessarily an addiction in the usual sense. In the definitions of those two words (fetish/paraphilia), there appears to be an accepted distinction amongst the psychological or psychiatric professionals. One thing that seems to be a given amongst those shrinks, is that our interest is somehow considered deviant or at least atypical of human sexual response.

It does seem correct that our fetishes or paraphilias are harmless in most cases, and only impact our personal psyche and/or physicality. I suppose that some spouses or friends may feel negatively impacted by our enjoyment of such things. In such instances, our interests are often kept very secretive. As far as the “professionals” go, I've wondered how aversion therapy may work in our case. In other words, how many enemas would it take to ultimately be such a turn off that we lose our interest or obsession?

I have read that the act of holding an enema exercises the Vagus nerve, and that kegels can strengthen the pelvic floor (clamping down on a nozzle or anal toy). That seems like a positive thing for those of us who find enjoyment in this simple procedure. The relief of stress is certainly positive and the ultimate R&R is a wonderful sleep aid.

I suppose that many of us have indulged in thousands of enemas over our lifetime. Is it an addiction, or just an adjunct to our other natural elimination processes or those involuntary responses that we all seem to enjoy. My equipment fetish is a whole other issue!

I'm not ‘addicted’ …. I find them pleasurable when administered by @sirensong whom I am extremely attracted to.

I am not addicted to enemas but I do love to being pleasured my man. I have learned but it took years to relax and find pleasure in them as long as my love, @geminitom , simulates me and keeps me sexually on edge

I'm not addicted. I can quit any time.

Honest ….. I can.

I just don't want to ……

Hmmmm… I wonder, do they have a patch or chewing gum for this addiction? Oh, maybe hypnosis.

I think maybe a suppository 😉

Remember, the definition of addiction is that you do something when it is interfering with other aspects of your life or you know it's harming you in some way. Just doing it repeatedly is not an addiction!

Oh please Moppy, that would be like treating smoking with a cigarette.

Lisa is right. "Just because you do it repeatedly doesn't make it an addiction." Eating? Sleeping? Sex?

I think @Moppys_jalopy recommendation was “tongue in cheek” …… or something more anal! 😡

Just doing it repeatedly is not an addiction!

I agree. Doing it because you enjoy it does not make it an addiction.

Eating? Sleeping? Sex?

They are done repeatedly but are not necessarily an addiction. They are needs. Even they, sometimes, do get in the way of life.

Yes Gwhap, I agree Moppy's was tongue in cheek. My post almost put a hole in my cheek as well. It was not a negative comment.

Addiction? Obsession? Who…not me! I can quit enemas anytime. Should I? Maybe. Will I? Let me see. I'd say something between NO and HELL NO.😛😛

I love my addictions. Not only enemas, but many of them.

Go with the flow! arki

I’m not addicted but I do find them extremely enjoyable. I must say nothing is as exhilarating as taking an enema.

When there is an addiction there is no more pleasure because it becomes a routine and it is done often.

Having an enema less regularly and less often is more enjoyable for me.

How about “I'm not an alcoholic…I just like the taste of bourbon”? (With apologies to all you bourbon drinkers out there…AND fellow klismoholics!!!)

You got me!

Addiction as a concept has been debased beyond all measure nowadays. Anything someone or some group doesn't like, can so easily be labelled as an addiction. And then the instant disapproval kicks in, no matter what the activity.

Doing something often does not make it an addiction.

It's like some people love to talk about ‘porn addiction’. What they really mean is they disapprove of porn.

Why not talk about compulsions? It is less condemning and more neutral as a concept.

Have to agree that the term “addiction” is overusedg and @Agracier is right - using the term “addiction” is often an expression of disapproval - similar to name-calling. Dumbimy down the act by using a less offensive word is still showing disapproval - maybe(?) in a less threatening way. I think our discussions about addiction were more in jest than factual - although for some, enemas do become a little overboard.

Why not just call enemas for fun what they are - Erotic, sensual, intimate, …. naughty!!!

Much splitting of hairs here regarding addiction, obsession, compulsion etc etc. Personally if I'm splitting hairs, I'd prefer to do it with my tongue, not my keyboard. 😃

It 's addiction possibly more of a fetish. I got it from my mother. She had some nurses training and not only enjoyed giving enemas but talking about them. Seeing her rear end when she was naked got me started as a young person. I would overhear her telling neighbor mothers that their children needed and enema. I even-saw her giving enemas to other children and assisting their mothers. In the hospital age 11 she told me I was going to get an enema. It got me started, After I got home she told me that I had to have an enema. two days later I got another one. I than her tell a neighbor how she had given me an enema. The memory of seeing her naked and talking about enemas started the fetish
