How did you learn to give a really good enema?

Took my cat to the Vet yesterday and she gave him an enema. He didn't look happy when we picked him up and I know I wasn't. $634!!!!

You both got hosed. 🤣

I don't know about what vets charge for giving enemas, but that seemed outrageous! I do know that when my wife had surgery a while back, I looked at the itemized expenses... $500.00 for giving her a fleet enema. Goodness sakes! You can get a twin pack for $3.00. You talking about getting hosed! And she didn't even get a real enema with a hose!

My first wife was a doctor. From her I learned to give medical enemas ... with time and a lot of experience the enemas became more and more erotic.

I learned from my husband. I wish I would have learned from my mom but she wouldn't mess with that area. No enemas, suppositories, or rectal temps for me growing up.

With loving respect for my Mom, I am gratefully indebted to a wonderful young nurse who taught me about "really good enemas" when I was getting home care after being critically injured in an accident. After that experience when I was 22, I began reading nursing manuals and naturopathic guides on how to give various types of safe and effective enemas for when I was having lower G.I. issues. The vintage guides published prior to introduction of the Fleets often had detailed instructions, which I followed.

Through the years, there have been rare but legitimate reasons when I gave enemas to my husband and daughters, following nursing protocol. An added bonus along the way was that my husband, who admittedly was an interested partner in health and intimacy, also learned how to give me a good enema when I needed it. Older daughter has an overreactive colon like her mom, and I taught her how to self-administer safely. She said I should've been a nurse.

Despite the Fleets, social hangups and disfavor by much of the traditional medical community, I still think that families, particularly moms who make most of the health related decisions, should invest in a good quality enema bag and learn how to use it.

Practice, practice, practice! BTW, I was a pretty good guinea pig throughout my life. Sometimes it wasn't by choice, often times it was.

There are also some pretty good hints and tips around here and other focused groups.

Trial and error also has to be aknowledged as we try and perfect this simple pleasure and procedure.

Back in the 60’s i was trained as a hospital orderly in a catholic hospital….basically a LPN by todays training.

Did everything…including trained to give enemas, catheters, wound care, bathing etc….not allowed injections, about the only thing not allowed.

Considering all the zillions of enemas I've given myself, I self-learned allot. With bulb enemas, there wasn't too much to learn, but with enemas from a bag, there were some things to learn… first, there's a big difference when the receiver likes enemas versus one who does not…

Mom was the only one I received from as a child. They were the 3H variety which I didn't like. When I started solo years later, I found what I liked and what my girlfriends liked. Refined the experiences to the few positions/formulas I use now. Most enjoyable.

Learning the subtle nuances that result in a really good enema is somewhat similar to cooking. When preparing a new dish, I'll often follow the recipe exactly…the first time. Then, I'll put my own spin on it adding another ingredient or altering the ratio of the ingredients of the original recipe. It's truly a matter of experimentation.

When it comes to enemas, it's the same thing. How much soap? How warm? Which nozzle? Tummy rubbing…or not.

Hubby was a real newbie to enemas when we first got married. But I put my self-experiments to work and used my best practices to turn hubby into semi-klismo. Now, that's not to say he's taking enemas on his own multiple times a week, but he has come to see the added benefits that can result from a really good enema. He's often remarked that I give wonderful enemas! And that has come from years of experience and experimentation.

Have fun and play safe!

I love debgurl's description of learning to give a really good enema. In musical terms, I would call it Theme and Variations. Years ago, we always adhered to the Theme -- by the book, so to speak. However, over time, we've tried safe variations from the basic theme to make doing a cleanse more comfortable and even intimate. If I am able to convince my somewhat reluctant husband to have me give him an enema, I want to do everything I can to make him feel better afterwards. Like debgurl, we also have benefited from experimentation.

I'll second (third?) Vicky V and Debgurl's posts: experimentation is essential if one is to learn to give really good enemas! No two of us get exactly the same thing from an enema (other than the obvious), so first off you want that first enema to be as comfortable as possible for a new partner…esp. if (s)he is a newbie to the bag and bone. (Early in enema history, the nozzles were frequently fashioned from chicken bones. They're the right size, and are hollow with a bulge at the ends to help the tube stay on.) I digress…the point is, if that first experience is dismal, likely there will not be another chance. Once that first enema is in the can, (movie jargon for finished, and yes, double entendre) you can start experimenting to find what re-eeeealy does it for your partner. Once you perfect his/her enema, you've got your old standby, your go-to enema for future sessions. From there, once your partner is hooked, the two of you can play with new variations, just for fun. As Debgurl always says, “Play safe and have fun!”

@debgurl. Your hubby is one lucky felloW. I love hearing about how a person can come to really appreciate a good enema and I’m sure your expertise helped make a convert out of him. Well done Deb!

Kudos to both Vickie and debgirl. They really hit the nail on the head. It isn't rocket science though. Nozzle A goes into Bung B. The more you do it the better you get. I learned that you don't really need exotic solutions. Just a couple quarts of warm water is all you need and doesn't rile up a colon so you can play more later.

Well , first of all I ‘ learned how to give …..’ by receiving the ‘ really good enema ’ from my mother , grandmothers and an aunt . My curiosity was ‘ piqued ‘ and as I got older they took the time to show me how to prepare an enema and then the ’ physics ‘ of bag height to rate of flow and how to assemble the enema bag / hose / shut-off clamp / nozzle / solution / water temperature and then the proper lubrication of the nozzle . I had a wonderful ‘ turn-about ’ experience with the aunt mentioned above as in the time I ‘ gave her an enema ’ at her request which she kindly supervised from start to finish . My ‘ how to give an enema ’ mentors were wonderful in their shares , advice and ‘ hands on ’ willingness to instruct me in the finer points of enema administration .

A friend of mine started having me do him and he taught me how to do ham and taught me real good turned out

Short and simple. After 65 years I never have gotten near perfecting enema administration. But I'm still searching and experimenting. As I'd guess so many of you are.

@memories4U , I suspect we would all enjoy a detailed recounting of that “turnabout” experience and what led up to it…😁

…how YOU have learned to give awfully good enemas.

My sub told me what he liked and showed me what he did that he enjoyed.

After joining Enemas4Fun, a Zity.biz predecessor, I learned about enemas that weren't quit as nice. But still had appeal for our relationship…sex.

Years of practice made things go, get better. As others said you learn the best ratios of ingredients to get the results you want from the receiver. Whether they are pleasurable feelings or not. 😉

Same way you get to Radio City Music Hall!

Practice! Practice! Practice!

What is a "really good enema?" The occasional times I've given enemas to my husband and daughters, I've defined "really good" is when my husband admits that he "should've asked for an enema two days ago," (duh!) and also how tightly my daughters hugged me afterwards.

Moms live for "thank you's" and hugs in the things we do for our family. I think I'd rather get a kiss and a hug than just about anything else. Well, I also would like that new cashmere sweater!!

@Rick6981 WOW, that is an awesome story. You are one lucky SOB… To have a wife that enjoys enemas and to offer a 3-some with her best friend!!! Just WOW! You have my graditute! Keep up the excellent work!

What is a "really good enema?"

That is a good question. For my sub it is a nice, relaxing, sex filled enema experience.

For me it may involve him suffering, cramping, and no sex.

I give an enema the same as making love. Soft, sensual, orgasmic. From start to finish 😉

Many years ago when I was part of the Ladies Enema Journal a dear colleague was known to say, “It's not a race, but an enema.” She was so right and over the years I've learned about taking my time and savoring the experience. You have to take your time, but very precise about finding just the right temperature, hang the bag from a hook that doesn't let the solution flow too fast, and above all be comfortable. For me a scented candle and a playing a nice peaceful CD add to the magic. After all is said and done I'll then soak in our hot tub. The result is no more stress plus a good cleaning out. Perfect! Marlene, you were a great teacher. Thanks.

Emom, Can you tell us what "Ladies Enema Journal" was ? Was this some type of club?

Emom, Can you tell us what "Ladies Enema Journal" was ? What his some type of club?

It was a female only chatroom on AOL. Men were allowed to lurk, but never say anything. It was a marvelous group of women who supported one another, would discuss things openly, and were very candid. There were one or two leftover members on Zity and we'll still occasionally exchange greetings. I miss them all greatly.

I remember L.E.J!!! I as well dropped in upon occasion in my early years of E adventures. Just more or less watched than spoke. Boy have l changed!!!!

Good question. My Mom, a nurse, gave both my sister and female cousin, both 2 years younger than me, regular enemas.

She never closed the bathroom door and I would even sit and chat with them as Mom pumped the syringe. She only ever used a Higginsinso, so that's still my favorite to this day.

I watched the whole ritual, from preparing the soap solution to the prelube and insertion of the nozzle.

You might say I had the perfect tutor.
