Do you prefer enemas or laxatives?

Laxatives seem lazy and uncontrollable. For me the whole point of taking an enema is not necessarily just to poop. There is a ritual and a sensuality involved with the intimacy of having an enema given to you. Instead of a laxative I would support the use of a suppository in conjunction with an enema if something else had to be added at all.

I, myself, prefer an enema to any laxative any time. I was born a month or so early and had intestinal problems when I was born which I still have. To help relieve constipation problems, Mom's family doctor told her to give me daily enemas. I remember when I was about twelve my mother's family doctor got ill and Mother had to find us a new doctor. The new doctor did not believe in the use of enemas for any reason. So, he prescribed oral laxatives such as Castoria, Milk of Magnesia, Epsom Salt solutions, or even something called black something. Mom's choice, more often than not, was Castoria, which I absolutely hated. The taste was awful and if it worked, it seemed to work at the most in-opportune times such as at recess or reading class. I was embarrassed more than once. I remember I often begged Mom to stop giving me that awful stuff and again start giving me a daily enema. But, Mom's normal retort was "Mike, remember what our new doctor says about those things." One day while Mom was out shopping with her Mother, I decided to search for Mom's Rexall Victoria Combination syringe that she had taken out of the bathroom. I found it in Mom's top dresser drawer under some of her panties. Missing enemas as much as I did, I decided to be a big boy and give myself one while Mother was away. So, I took the syringe into the bathroom and had just filled it and was in the process of blowing some additional water into the bottle through the hose, when all of a sudden Mother opened the bathroom door. Mom looked at me with this unbelievable look. All I could do was look down. I had been caught red handed. Mother told me to hand over the enema bag right then. I didn't want to, but I did. Mom walked over to the bathroom sink, unscrewed the adapter cap and poured all the water down the drain. Then, she turned to me and said, "Mike, remember what our doctor said about these things!" I teared up and said "Mom, I hate the laxatives you have been giving me." Mom didn't say anything. She just left the room, taking her syringe with her. I remained sitting on the toilet, too embarrassed to move. About 30 minutes or so later, Mother again entered the bathroom. I was still sitting on the toilet with my hands on my cheeks. Mom came over to where I was sitting and sat down on the edge of the tub. Mom took my hands into hers and said, "Mike, I am sorry... you know I love you....You've got to remember that Dr. A said those things are bad for you." I looked up with tears welded up in my eyes and said "Mom, I've been taking them all my life and I don't think they've hurt me! Dr. M said they were ok! and he even prescribed them remember?" Mom rubbing my hands.... looked at me with tears in her eyes now too. I leaned over, look some tissue from the toilet tissue roll and wiped her eyes. I whispered to her "Mom, I love you! I am sorry that you came home and found me trying to take an enema. I just wanted one so bad." Mom got up, patted my head and left the room. Five minutes or so later Mom returned to the bathroom, this time, though, she was not alone. This time she was again carrying her Rexall Victoria Combination syringe completely full of water. I smiled up at her. She said "Mike, I know I should not do this, but I love you and don't like to see you this way, I smiled up at her, got up from the toilet, and let Mom hang her syringe above me. I kneeled down into my normal knee chest position and prepared to take the enema that Mother had prepared for me. Meanwhile, Mother did not disappoint. She gave me one very special enema that afternoon and it was not my last.

Absolutely no question.

I take enemas using a long colon tube and have for years.

I cant remember the last time i took a laxative.

Absolutely no question.

I agree with "jansatin" I take my enemas using a long colon tube, inserted deep and have enjoyed this for years.

I don't take laxatives but I've used stool softeners once in a while.

I've never taken a laxative! I was brought up using enemas and did likewise with my children.

One of my daughters decided as a teenager to rebel and rather than give herself an enema, she tried an oral laxative since they're advertised everywhere and seemed like the modern cool thing to do. She took it, and then after that experience threw the rest away!!! She reverted to enemas and gives enemas to her children for constipation.

Enemas are my "Go To" (pun intended) remedy for constipation. Quick results without having to put a lot of chemicals through my entire digestive system.

Well enemas were just part of life when I was a child mother gave enemas over her lap that was just part of life being called into the bathroom then told to remove my bottoms then get over mother lap so being giver a to fast to much enema as always . then on day been given a to fast to much enema siting on the toilet mother came in handed me a full glass of warm water with white milk of mag. oral laxative in it for me to drink it was not easy t drink the flavler was alful but I did get it down but the first time I did not know what it was well an hour or two later it was like i was given an enema again. but was not fun for me but every time mother gave me an enema she had me drink milk of mag. after the enema then when the milk of mag. stoped she give more enema this went on until i took a wife. Then my new wife well abut ttwo weeks I goy sick my new wife I knew she had been given enema as a child. Well shecame into the bedroom sayin bill I getting an enema ready for you which she did well she came in with a soap & water 2QT enema gave the hle enema to me took the bag to the bathroom cam back in and had me rool on my back well a 20 years man had a normal thing being given a big enema.

Then and hour later the milk of mag. started working on me well for the next hour we took turns on the toilet then when I was done then char said I fix you some more enemas Bill . Then I said you be next for enema too char. Well the enema went on for years after that so yes enemas were the main thing but oral laxative were given to make sure my bowel were cleaned out from the top down . Well try it you will nit like it .

Enemas without a doubt. Laxatives are too unpredictable for me and my schedule. Enemas give me the empty feeling and relaxation much faster.

I'd much rather take enemas than oral laxatives. For colon exams and surgery, I hate the oral laxatives. I can get magnesium citrate down but makes me sick to my stomach. The powdered laxatives that you mix with water I can drink maybe half gallon before I get nauseous. Enemas don't make me nauseous. I realize they only clean the large colon and that an oral laxative is needed to clean the whole digestive tract. But have found that if I use both an oral laxative and enema, I don't need as much oral laxative so feel better at the end of the cleanout. And been told after the colonoscopy that my colon is also cleaner.

Enemas for sure. Several years ago I had some minor surgery done with a laparoscope. I got really constipated from the pain pills I had to take. The doctor prescribed a laxative and I took a couple. The cramps it caused were awful so I switched to enemas and got complete relief in minutes. I have never taken another laxative. Taking the laxative was the worst part of the total surgical process.

Now is that a queston that needs to be asked on a site for enema lovers? LoL

I really enjoy the cramping and discomfort that comes from laxatives but an enema is far more sensual and fun.

I also like laxatives and enemas .... as beeing a sub ... i like the lost of control etc.

I can count on one hand the number of times I have taken an oral laxative since mom gave me a dose of Castoria. That convinced me there is no good reason for an oral laxative, except on doctor's orders.

To say that I hated laxatives would be like calling Godzilla a lizard - MAJOR understatement.

They don't work quickly. They don't work predictably. They ALL taste like crap. A lot of times, they give me diarrhea for hours. All that PLUS, I like taking enemas.

For me, it's easier than a no-brainer.

Growing up my mom's first choice for constipation was always a laxative (milk of magnesia). Enemas were the remedy when MOM didn't work. It wasn't the worst tasting laxative and didn't produce much in the way of cramping so I never really hated it. During that same period of my childhood I hated enemas. They were always soapsuds enemas and produced intense cramping most of the time. When I complained about the enema hurting (cramping) my mother would always say that's how she knew it was working. That did little to make me fell better, both physically or mentally. . OH, but how times have changed !!!!!!! Now and for many years since childhood I not only prefer enemas but LOVE them . Of course there is the sexual aspect but also a wonderful sense of pure pleasure and relaxation associated with them. The most recent laxative I had to take was a bottle of magnesium citrate as part of the prep before my most recent colonoscopy. The nurse who went over the prep instructions and gave me the literature and prescription for the tri-lyte which I also had to take asked if I knew what mag cit was and I played dumb. She told me it came in a 10 oz. bottle and to get the lemon flavor. She said I didn't need a prescription for it , it was on the shelf with laxatives. She then handed me a small sheet of paper with the instructions on how and when to take it. It included warnings of how long it might take before it "took effect" and produced a bowel movement. She warned me to stay close to a bathroom since it works differently for for everyone. She then said it's "SORT OF LIKE TAKING AN ENEMA FROM THE TOP DOWN". Well, she was definitely correct about that !!!!!! It produce some of the worst cramping I can remember. And the cramps lasted much longer than any enema I've ever taken. It was one nasty laxative. It dd it what it was supposed to do, no doubt about it, but not something I would ever take again voluntarily.

I don't know why a laxative taker would be interested in this site. Sure we all like feeling cleaned out by the enema but I think most of us are on this site because we like the sensation of the enemas experience and the sexual high that we get from them. In this sense I'm a proud pervert and I bet that most of us are..My wife, an avid laxative taker thinks that my interest in enemas is wierd.I had to do the GOLIGHTLY all day laxative bit for a colonoscopy and unlike the three enemas that the nurse gave me the next morning, the laxative was the very opposite of fun!

I like both enema / suppository more than laxative

Agree with tip's comments. I'm sure the vast majority of the people on this site aren't here because they have problems with constipation. They're out investigation other remedies to their problems including diet, laxatives, and suppositories. My wife is one of those folks. She has constant problems with constipation, hates enemas, won't pleasure me with them, and solves her problem with suppositories when she gets too uncomfortable. I've quit telling her there are alternatives to her problem. She just smiles and ignores me. 😢 Yes, it's frustrating, because I discussed my enjoyment of enemas with her BEFORE we married, some 31 years ago. At the time, she said she was fine with it, only to disappoint later by simply ignoring my enema fetish. Now, her health isn't well, and I'm dealing with that situation also.

I like both

I do not like laxitives! Give me an enema! I have taken suppositories and an enema the same time.

I see that almost everyone prefers enemas to laxatives. But INeedasudsE and Gummimann bring up a good points, which I'd like to expound on. I don't use them to treat constipation - I have a fetish related to being forced to go to the bathroom, and my wife gives them to me as part of our BSDM play (bless her). If we only have an hour or two to play, and enema is the perfect solution (no pun intended). It works fast and you can pretty much bank on it doing what it's supposed to do within an hour (I generally use two to four disposable Fleet enemas to guarantee success).

One of the most enjoyable aspects of our e-play is the ANTICIPATION - the part after she administers the enema(s), until I start to feel it/them working. That's the part that drives me wild. We rarely both have two days off work with nothing planned during those two days. But once in a while, when we do, we'll do the laxative thing: a dose of Ex-Lax slightly among the recommended dosage. It actually takes about a day and a half to work for me. And during that day and a half, the adrenaline that fuels my klimaphilia and my sex drive floods through my insides, sending my psyche into a frenzy.

We have a general idea of when it's going to hit, but we don't know exactly when, which is the exciting part. She'll put a diaper on me and make me go out and run errands with her...all the while, slyly grinning at me because she knows my secret and no one else does. She'll wait for the first indication that I'm feeling the effects, and then we'll start to head home, because she knows I'm afraid of having an accident in public.

So - in that context - I prefer laxatives to enemas, for obvious reasons.

There's another advantage to laxatives that I've found. When they do begin to work, the first stuff that comes out is hard and solid, more like a normal b.m., which stimulates my prostate and produces that anal-euphoric sensation of having a really great, life altering b.m.

I expect there must be others out there who have used laxatives for this purpose and prefer them to enemas for the same reasons.

At 51, I just discovered castor oil for the first time (where have I been?), which occupies the middle ground between enemas and laxatives, tending to work (for me) in about three hours. But when it does, what comes out is pretty much liquid, so I don't get to enjoy the prostate stimulation I do with laxatives. :-)

Enemas. Period. Very, very pleasant and effective. And very sexual too.

Last late Spring I was scheduled for a colonoscopy. The g.I. Staff know that I don't/can't drink the 'stuff' and have to do enemas aand fasting along with Citrate of Mag for the "top-down" portion. Well Boys & Girls, the Mag Citrate was a joke. I have absolutely no peristalsis and so drinking the Mag Citrate was like drinking a 7up....no cramps, no nothing. Gee, I'm stuck with having to do many enemas before for a couple of days. Golly.

Hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Why use a laxative, when the outcome of a full-bag enema ensures a predictable outcome?

I prefer water but often add glycerin to the water to increase the strength of the enema

Thanks to bad and tramatic experience with Enemas as a kid I prefer laxatives like suppositories or other oral stuff.

I guess the "correct" answer is a mix - I use some oral laxatives (fiber and Mirilax) in varying doses to keep things moving with periodic enemas to, again, keep things moving. Seems to work the best of anything I've tried.

When I get backed up I generally go for an enema. About the most predictable and pretty much guaranteed effective. Oral laxatives more "oomphy" than Mirilax are unpredictable in my system, and while my second choice is a bisacodyl suppository those sometimes cramp.

I had bad experiences with enemas and suppositories as a child as well, but I'm glad I gave them a second chance, especially enemas.

Having read my two previous posts here, I realize I've been incomplete:

I like laxatives, if I have nothing scheduled. Sixty four ounces of prune juice, works in about two hours for me like a strong saline, even like a saline with castor oil. Prune juice on ice, taken slowly, so as to finish drinking at about the same time of first expulsion is quite fun, for me. I also like castor oil, either alone, or with a saline. If I have myself prepped up with a large stool in me, a single bisacodyl gives me a mild, enjoyable controllable urgency, but otherwise natural stool, without the runniness.

My favorite laxative experience was probably the time my wife gave me a secretly large dose of senna (about 75 mg) at about nine at night. the next day, during an out-of-town business meeting, it expressed it's effect. I had to leave the meeting on two occasions to expel what seemed like the largest oral laxative induced stools I've ever had.

Then there was the period when twice a month, on Friday evening, my wife would come home with a laxative to give me. This was back when there was a much larger variety of laxative drugs available otc. It was different every time. She experimented on me this way for a few months, until she'd tried them all on me (mostly) or us (occasionally). It was way fun. I have to see if I can find such a variety overseas, so she can do it to me/each other all over again!

When I have the time, I *love* my oral laxatives, especially with a bit of cramping, if possible.

Laxatives make me poo (I take Aloe Pura Colon Cleanse), but enemas and colonics make me feel "clean". So I take the Aloe Pura before I go to bed at night and my enema in the morning. Uuummmm
