Enema fetish as addiction?

Addiction?? Really?? (said in that baratone voice of the late Frank Gallop) 'Addiction, well you, we, like it and when we don't get a "fix" for a while we start to "miss it!!" 'Same can be said for "Candy,"" Sex," "Booze," "Playing Golf," "Fishing/Hunting," "Going to NASCAR Races," "Playing Chess," and "Jumping out of Perfectly Good Airplanes for the pure , sheer physical thrill of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Got that?? Enemas are only one "Kinkster" pleasure that we here at Zity indulge in, so go figure?? So, you haven't had an enema for a while, are you breaking out in a "Cold Sweat??," are you getting a major case of the "Shakes??," in other words, are you going thru "Cold Turkey???" I doubt it.

Just go have an enema!!!,

Pinklady it might be more on a habituation...

It is my thought that Enemas are generally a pleasure enjoyed by many of us on a more casual basis, with a partner, or without in a ' solo' act of enjoyment.

For those that use them so often that they cannot manage a bowel movement without an enema, that might be an issue worth an appoinent with a physician...

Now, go make it a gr8 day, and I hope you are warm where you are located.

My use of enemas is a preference. Just as I like or prefer Scotch, Apple Pie or Steak. Enemas are something I enjoy very similar to enjoying my antique car or antique tools. The use of them just brings the feeling of a pleasant pleasure. Not everyone likes Scotch and that's OK and I'm not afraid or ashamed to admit I like Scotch, ...and enemas

Addiction? Well, sure....but not in the strictest since of the word. Enemas bring us satisfaction, comfort, relief, eroticism, and a lot more benefits I could name. We use enemas like comfort food, or maybe our favorite chair. Yup! It's as addiction all right, and it's alright.

I find enemas a love/hate addictive passion that make my palms sweat and my heart skip a beat.

Enemas are enjoyable, but should not be the only center of interest in life, or else they do become an addiction; and then the risk the pleasure you have from them reduces with time. My habit is to have one session a week, not more.

Complementing the smart posts of Jillie, I want to add that klismaphilia is a type of anal masturbation that simulates intense sexual feelings in some Individuals. If an enema is healthy and pleasurable, why some people want to stigmatize it. Enjoy them without prejudice.

I have always viewed my enema use as a part of my anal eroticism. It is a sure fire way to stimulate my anus, rectum and prostate. My sessions usually last a relaxing and very stimulating 1 hour. I do my sessions about once every week or so. I wouldn't say I am physically addicted to enemas or need enemas to have BMs- if I did them more frequently I could reach a point of dependence to have BMs. But as part of fulfilling my sex drive and need for anal stimulation enemas play large roll in fulfilling that need.

So addition, maybe too strong of a word.

One definition of addiction which is similar to others I have seen is:

"Addiction is a persistent, compulsive dependence on a behavior or substance."

At least in my case I am not dependent on enemas either physically or mentally. I can go weeks without one when traveling or doing things that provide no opportunity for one. As soon I have the opportunity, however, I take one (or preferably several !) They are enjoyable, no question about it, but I don't feel dependent on them so I would say in my case it is not an addiction.

I wouldn't say I'm addicted to enemas, but I do enjoy them immensely! Being an anally erotic person, I find enemas produce unique sensations that are pleasurable. I try to set aside enough time to have a session once a week. As for them being a fetish or an addiction...not in my case. They're just something I enjoy from time to time!

I am so much into enemas combined by rubbersheets

I think of enemas as a lifestyle. I also have found the thought of enemas sometimes consumes your every thought at certain points of your life . In my case it could be an addiction and fetish.

I'm like you @ginnie. Some days, all I can think of is enemas. Other days, they don't even enter my mind.

Very enjoyable but not necessarily addictive.

I suppose enemas could be an addiction but I doubt it happens often. One of the hallmarks of an addiction is that it disrupts or adversely affects your life. If you were doing enemas to the point your wife was about to leave you and you had lost your job because you were constantly in the restroom doing enemas then it could be an addiction for you. Does that fit anyone?

Sure feels like an addiction, and the feelings get stronger the older I get.

My question becomes what is a fetish and what is an addiction and what, if any, is the difference. Can anyone offer some thoughts?

Either way, when no one is around and I have some privacy I really do have to fill my bright red open top enema a bag with water, put the nozzle in my pooper and enjoy the delicious feel of the water filling me up.

Enemas make my bowels move and make me feel good. I may be addicted (not sure) but if that is the case, I would have to say that it is benefitting my body. At the very least, it is a pleasurable fetish.

Enemas may be both. They make my bowels move and that is good. I am not dependent on them or laxatives. The are sometimes enjoyable, so I guess you need to be careful but That is for each of us to decide weather it is addictive or a fetish. But to me the warm soapy water flowing into me is an enjoyabel fetis and sometime so necessary!

Fetish and addiction are closely related. Fetish is an odd thing you like to do for whatever reason but can be done without for some while, as the case may be. Addiction, like in drugs is where your brain has been re-wired for that thrill. I think I do indeed have a fetish and addiction for enemas. For after 3 or 4 days I must somehow take a small enema or much, much more. I so need that feeling and thrill. Of course, with my enemas I do other play as well which may add to this debate.

A fetish? Yes, there is something about anticipating an enema and the feelings it creates or seeing the equipment that is a turn on. Then there are the times that I'm in a rotten mood and an enema(s) helps improve it. So I guess you can say its therapeutic. I can go with or without one but I do look forward to doing it, so I don't think its addictive.

Its all about endophins, my understanding is that adddiction is similar but processed in a differnt part of the brain

Sure, it could become an addiction for some. But, as addictions go, this one is pretty harmless...and fun!

Hmmm. "Addiction" to me is when something 'grabs' you causing you to neglect or run completely counter to what you need to do to survive and thrive. Foe me, H2E (erotic enemas) were probably an addiction. When the conditions were optimal I was fairly driven to fantasize the scene, the feelings, and then act on them.... even if that meant letting things or people that were otherwise important to me slide.

Butt now, here's how I treat enemas in general, erotic or not.

I hate being flabby: so I will do enemas until my belly is flat.

When really horny and on my own,I will sometimes do enemas to relieve that sexual pressure. - prostate massage.....

If I am uptight and need to relax, I may do enemas because they can be very relaxing for me.

I was exposed to toxic mold: so - along with diet and medication - I do cleansing enemas + coffee enemas to flush out toxins.

I got abusive enemas from Mommy Dearest as a child so I may do them now as counter-phobe or for self-determination.

I may do solo enemas to revisit the love/hate relationship my internal child has with enemas.

I like a challenge: so though taking 2-quarts was difficult at the start, I can do a gallon now.

I enjoy the feeling of different nozzles and self-determined scenarios.

Soooo, I like self-determined enemas, when that feels ok or better for me.

I like this group and tend to report after a long-series - like what I just did.

Enjoy...

Addiction is a strong word, but if you are away from home on vacation or visiting friends and relatives and you start planning that one of the first things you are doing on Monday when you are back home is to have a good enema -- well, maybe --

German.....,

I am so much into enemas combined by rubbersheets

I would adore being given an enema from my domme while lying on a rubber sheet, but don't have one currently. I do take almost every enema wearing some rubber clothes, which really adds to my arousal and orgasm enjoyment.

Addiction is a strong word, yes, but only to a physio-babel ... They created this word in its modern day definition. SO, eating is also an addiction.. Can't go without enemas? Can't go without food, ether! What is more important is, at what cost is the addiction?

Well in the case of enemas, its almost harmless.

Yea, I'm hooked right now. I do a large volume total clean out session every 2 or 3 days, and giving that up would be hard, but I've done it before many times, like when I backpacked on the Appalachian Trail for several months a few years ago. Going cold turkey is tough for the first week or two, but I soon start shitting normally again and forget about my enema cravings. I don't see any reason to quit right now until the medical profession starts consistently warning about dire health consequences, which hasn't happened yet to my knowledge.

I have to admit I am addicted to enemas. I was involved in the disaster response for many weeks in the Puerto Rico area. I took a disposable enema bag just in case, but I really tried to get back to "normal" as I didn't know where I would have the privacy to get a good cleanout. After several days, it just wasn't happening, I ate as much fruit as I could get but it just wasn't happening, fortunately I had some time by myself (actually working in a hospital) where I was able to get a quickie, it worked very well, feel sorry for whoever had to clean the toilet, as I cleaned up as much as I could.

I went back to the island again, same thing, tried to get back to normal. The problem is that the food is not what I would normally eat, so I had a double problem, the same problem while traveling that gets people constipated. 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.

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

I can quit anytime, but unless there is a good medical reason, why?

As had been stated by others , if our collective enema experience has over time become ' addictive ' then I to view our ' addiction ' as certainly ' vanilla ' as compared to other much more harmful ' addictions ' that one can become dependent upon . Yes .......... it can be argued that the enema can be ' health related ' and I agree . Given my long enema history , I would say that the ' joy ' of the enema is still with me whether solo or with a lady . Perhaps others can articulate the ' fetish / addiction ' component of the enema better than I but suffice it to say that I have been a practitioner of the ' enema arts ' for years and never tire of the experience .
