Enema fetish as addiction?

If enemas are an addiction than I am thrilled to be an "enemaholic". 😃 If Will Rogers once said "I never met a man I didn't like", than I never met an enema I didn't like....

I know that I am addicted to enemas. My body craves them both physically as well as mentally... I think, no I know, my wife knows this. Truely, enemas are special to me and I am glad that I can take them whenever I want. Miker

Hm mm, i guess you could say that enemas are addictive, but then so are a lot of things, cigarettes, alcohol, overeating, we all pick our poisons, but some addictions are not really harmful. personally, i cannot think of enemas as ever causing me harm, they are refreshing, sexually stimulating, and have healthful benefits. Wow, what a big deal, being addicted to something that hasn't hurt me in a lifetime.

I am 39 and have done enemas myself since I was 11 or 12. I must have received them prior to this age, but I have no recollection of it at all. I go through stages, generally when I am stressed out, when I have to do enemas every day. THis is one of those times and I will likely go home right after this and prepare a bag!

I have a wife who is very supportive and does not mind my use of the enema. I keep my bag on the bathroom door. She has tried enemas with me, but she is not an addict as I am. And, yes, I am an addict. I don't think it's bad and I don't think it does any harm...at least not physically!

Often I wish that I could work through it and not have an addiction to enemas and just enjoy one from time to time!

When I see the the word addiction,I think of the use of drugs and harmful pracices to the body.An enema to me is like brushing teeth is to others.Because I have been enjoying enemas for over fifty years,I see there use as just routine and perhaps sexual that is very satisfying,sort of like a very good meal.

Acording to my wife...and she knows everything 😉 doctors do not recommend enemas on a routine basis as it can lead to a dependance on them for their laxitive effect - a true physical addiction...not just a psycholgical addiction as what seems to be discussed here. Anybody else ever hear of such a thing?

An adiction becomes an addiction when it has a negative impact on you or some one elses life...say skipping work to have an enema play day...or not writing the report I should be working on and surfing the net for masturbation material.

I think it has something that makes it sound dirty .but has hidden results that make it fun and exciting to do to each other knowing that only you are in that club

I know my love for enemas is a fetish more than an addiction.

Even if my were an addition it's no worse than all the bad things out here with over eating, drinking to much, or smoking.

There are many bad things in this world, but I have to say taking enemas is not one of them.

Many of us have Sexual Fetishes and Enemas play a large part and as with all types of Fetishes they become addictions and why not as we are meant to enjoy our uninhibited sexual pleasures in life!

Have wondered exactly the same-- is it addictive? I don't know, but off & on I have been coming back to certain websites for a number of yrs now.

For me, the pleasure is addictive. I have used enemas daily for years. Otherwise my colon works well if circumstances prevent my routine.

Is the pleasure sexual? I'm not sure. I know that I enjoy the experience whether I experience orgasms or not.

I am horribly conflicted re: enema use. For me, it is very enjoyable and relaxing. My wife hates them and would never consent to receive or give one, unless there were a medical reason. Because of her view, and the overall societal taboos regarding enemas, I have a tough time feeling good about my kink.

The use of enemas does increase my libido (a good thing); approaching 60, it almost seems necessary. I do not masturbate when receiving; I feel orgasms should be shared with one's partner.

An addict will turn himself inside out to obtain the substance or perform the behaviour to which he is addicted. There are no bounds for his desire, and there aare no rules that stand between him and his gratification. So far, enemas aren't an addiction in this sense.

I'm sorry that none of the above is very coherent (What is the point of this disposition?). I'm hoping to hear from some one with the same approach-avoidance dilemma, especially if they have resolved the conflict.

I can relate to you. If my wife would get into enemas or not seem to think I'm weird, my marriage would be perfect. I love them now more than ever. At age 55 and on several drugs that promote ED, enemas is all I have left for excitement.

I was watching Dr. Drew on TV the other night and he was asked if masturbation was addictive and he answered yes you can become addicted to it. Judging by what he said, yes enemas can be addictive. Are ALL addictions bad... NO.

Addiction? No. But that doesn't mean that wanting them is addictive in a physical sense. I want pleasure! Is pleasure addictive? I love enemas but have gone without them...nevertheless, I would love to have them!

Folks, wanting something and enjoying it is not the same thing as being addicted to it. I think that we use the term "addiction" too freely in this society. For example, clinically, there is no such thing as "sex addiction". What we are calling "addiction" is really just poor impulse control.

An example if you will: someone who is a habitual user of the drug methamphetamine- their brain will stop producing its own supply of the neurotransmitter dopamine. They need the drug in order to feel normal, and it takes progressively higher and higher doses to produce the baseline level of the neurotransmitter they need to function. This is real, horribly tragic addiction.

On the other hand, me thinking about enemas, loving them, daydreaming about getting one over my boyfriend's knee.... well, it's not really the same thing is it?

PS - Yes, addictions ARE always bad. That's part of what defines them as addictions.

For me, enemas are normal, not fetish. I am addicted to breathing. I both desire and need to breath. I enjoy enemas but at times I have to live without them. During those times, I am do not consider myself "normal."

–noun the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.

–noun 1. the domination of one's thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, desire, etc.

I agree with what Anne B. wrote. I don't think people are addicted to enemas, but I sure think some are completely obsessed with them.

What's interesting to me is that I was more fixated on the idea of enemas before I joined E4F and became active in the forum. I would search the Internet for stories, pics, videos, etc. This activity wasn't constant, but I would go in spurts and during those periods, I became somewhat obsessed with the notion. Maybe in part because I felt it was taboo...who knows. Anyway, I don't do that now. I log on to E4F, browse through the posts, etc., then I'm done and I don't fixate. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this change in behavior and thought patterns after joining E4F?

Arianna

I can agree with Arianna that having a forum that is as open as this group is does encourage browsing through the notes and responding where I have an interest. I think our ability to openly communicate with no hassles and with few weirdo comments has made some of us less prone to "prowl" trying to find good information on topics that are of interest to us. I still check other boards sporadically, but far less than I did before finding E4F. I'd like to congratulate the moderator(s) for doing a fine job making this board work for many of us!!

Yes, enemas are additictive but, unlike some other 'addictions' -- cigarettes, for example -- they are not hazardous to your health. Sure, they can cause problems if you take them all the time, or take 'funny' liquids deep inside your intestines but generally enemas are fine. And if you're addicted to them, that's fine too.

I have been addicted to enemas for over 40 years now and have yet to suffer any long-term effects. If I had been smoking for that length of time I probably would have cancer by now. Enemas are King!!!

Arianna's post, defining an obsession, certainly describes my situation perfectly. I think about enemas much of the time. I sometimes have troublr getting them out of my thoughts. That said, I take them as frequently as possible.

There isn't a day that passes that i don't think about those wounderful warm enemas mom gave over the years.

I agree completely with Arianna and Anne B. I believe that enemas are an "obsession" NOT an "addiction." Stopping the use of enemas does not cause severe trauma. We may miss them but we don't suffer any physical harm as a result of stopping them. Smoking is an addiction. Just try to stop smoking and see what happens to you. Yes you can do it but it is very difficult. Usually it requires outside help to free yourself from an addiction. Not so with stopping enemas. You may miss them but you can survive very well without them.

Thanks Jillie for your great post. I have been taking enemas for many years. Though I really miss them when I have a drought (excuse the pun) I don't consider it an addiction any more than eating a really good meal.

I belive they are addicting because of the enjoyment they give to us.

There are times that I go for week or two without the pleasure of an enema. :'( Things get all caught up ; it is relaxing time; my innards have the urge to be taken care of. I suppose you could say I go on a binge, at that time just one will not work and I have three are four to satisfy the hunger my insides have for attention. 😉 (and being alone, I add some activities afterwards) 😁

Having that very first erotic enema is like having sex for the very first time. You never will forget it. You keep wanting to do it again and again. Like sex, you get better at it the more times you do it.

No, I don't think of it as addiction, but I am not going to give it up either. I think of an addiction as something that has control of you like drugs.

I would consider it a fetish.

Haven't posted in a while and it's good to be back. Arianna has it right. It's fun yet taboo and I think that's why we keep coming back to it. You can stay away from it for a while but once your back you just can't get enough. Is that addictive? I don't think so. Just fun.

No it isn't an addiction. It is definitely a pleasuable fetish that also happens to be good for you.

We should enjoy our enemas.
