"Can you feel the water going in...?"

My parents always asked "Can you feel it going in...?" while giving me an enema. Needless to say the answer was almost always "yes". I think using Vaseline on the rectal tip necessitated the question because it might shift during insertion & block the flow. I do recall one instance when the water was probably flowing into me but I couldn't feel it. This was probably a case of ideal temp plus gentle flow rate. But it seemed as though my parents got really annoyed when I told them I couldn't tell. Hmmmm.

I too was asked "Can you feel it going in...?" during most of my frequent enemas when I was a kid. In fact, I heard the question shortly after the very first time an enema nozzle was slid up into my little four-year-old rectum. I thought Daddy was referring to the nozzle which I certainly did feel going in so I answered “Yes.” But aside from the feeling of fullness from the nozzle and the occasional delicious wiggle inside me, I felt nothing else. After some time, Daddy said something like “I don’t think you’re getting any of the soapsuds.” I heard the ‘click’ as Momma closed the hose clamp and she slowly slipped the nozzle back out of me, saying “Squeeze down and don’t let the enema come out.” I squeezed hard but the nozzle (which I thought she meant by “the enema”) came out anyway.

It turned out that when Daddy had stuck the enema nozzle down into the big jar, the cold cream had stopped up the hole in the end of the black, hard-rubber device. When Momma spread the lubricant around the tip she had not noticed the blockage and had put the blocked nozzle into me. Daddy immediately saw what had happened and used a kitchen match to clear the hole and I again enjoyed the insertion of the enema nozzle. This time when I heard the loud ‘click’, I could almost immediately “feel it going in” and loved the feeling. This time I answered the question with an emphatic “Oh YES!”

If the enema is about equal to body temperature, there's very little sensation, except for the obvious "filling" and pressure that is being exerted by the in-flow of whatever liquid receipe you're using. However, I find that if I do a nice cool enema, then there is also the nice feeling of the cool liquid entering the rectum, in addition to the pleasure of the nozzle itself, and the filling sensation that occurs with all enemas. A cool salt & baking soda, or Epsom salts enema, is emmensly pleasurable, particularly on a hot day........like today. 😃

The phrase i always heard was, "Just a little bit more" and "Go potty for us like a big girl." I hated it, it was so embarrassing.😢

Depending on the temp of the water, I certainly feel it going in. Of course there is the pressure the comes shortly, I love that first "burst" of water as it enters me and as the water hits my prostate.

I can always feel the flow of water going in, no matter what the temp, but the warmer the better as long as it is not dangerously hot.

That feeling as the water flows and trickles around the colon is perhaps the best part for me!

I was usually asked this too. I assume as well because the Vaseline sometimes would block the nozzle. Sometimes it would take a little while before I could really feel it (I figure my mom was keeping the hose pinched off a bit to slow the flow down. Inevitably though there would come a time when the answer was: "oh oh yes."

With water about body temp I don't really feel a great sensation as the water flows in, but as the pressure builds up that's what I really notice. After about 3 quarts I really start to feel the pressure inside me, and the sensation of my belly being pushed out - it's what I enjoy most.

Every time anything flows into my rectum, I do my best to 'feel it going in' but no matter what, I never could. Only time I could feel anything was going into my rectum was when the temperature of liquid was different from my body temperature or when the flow was really strong. Usually, my rectum's quite dull though.

I like the enema solution just above body temperatur. That way when it starts flowing and the enema tip is positioned just right, it stimulates my prostate glan. If done very slowly I can take a four quart enema and have orgasimed from the flow on ocasion.

Feeling the flow is just part of the experience.

My mom's favourite was ' now that wasnt so bad was it'. She would always say this as I would protest so much. As a young boy I never liked getting and enema. Now I coach my girlfriend to say that as shes giving it to me....

When I was 20, my girl friend used to give me 5 or 6 soapsuds enemas to clean me out.she made them by grating Ivory into the 2qt red open topped fountain syringe, and adding hot water. she would then fold over the top of the enema bag, and shake it up.she would then sit on a straight backed chair,cross her legs, and bend me over her knee the way my mother did, when I was a kid.

the irritation from the soap was making the enemas feel much stronger.she put me over her knee for the third enema,and inserted the black curved douche nozzle.I heard the snap of the clamp opening,and waited for the enema to be over.after a few minutes I felt the burn of the soap,and had to go real bad!!just then,I heard AND felt the sputter and gurgle of the piece of soap clearing the hose at the bag end,and the enema BEGINING!! I was panicking, and asked her how much was left.she just laughed, and told me I had a LOOONG way to go!!I begged her to let me up,and she did. till this day, I never felt an enema that intense,and have been trying to relive that moment......

Have to agree with those who say if the solution temp is at body temp it is difficult to feel the initial flow. In my case as a kid (4 or so) there was no mistaking it coming in even though I was asked...seems (as I observed in later years) the bag was filled with 100 degree soapsuds solution, then the bathroom floor was prepared with bathmats and towels...then I was fetched from my sickbed or wherever and reluctantly brought to the impending enema site, told to lie down, watched as the black tip was passed into the Vaseline jar and the glob of lubricant spread over it. Then the bag was relocated to a hook above and behind me. Conversation ensued: "relax and breathe deep"..."no I don't want an enema"..."well you're going to have one...now relax"... the buttocks were spread and the tip slid into me shortly followed by the dreaded 'click'... and the enema flowed. "Can you feel it" she asked..."uh huh" I cried. And I could feel it because although the solution in the bag was warm, that in the tube had cooled to room temp and felt wonderful for the first minute or so until fullness and cramping took over and dreadfulness of the enema began.

Who ever designed enema nozzles never figured how easy it was to clog the nozzle. The question "do you feel it going in" was universal and we all responded "uh huh". If you felt warmth in your lower abdominal area it was flowing. Sometimes you did not. Fluid temp was key. The quality of an enema also depends on the composition of the fluid. I prefer ivory soapsuds mixed in water above body temp. I know this will feel good and be effective and enjoyable. My giver will see a big smile on my face and one big love toy for her.

I always enjoy working the nozzle around in while im taking my enemas so i can get the best feeling of the water as it goes into me.

No one ever had to ask me if I could feel it going in. As soon as my mother squeezed the bulb I would let out a howl as the warm soapsuds squirted up my butt. She knew it was going in without asking.

Mom asked if I could feel it going in. Oh, yes, I quickly replied squirming and moaning to enhance the response. Then I found out mom had pinched off the hose to find out if i was lying. Then I really felt it going in along with the sting of her hand spanking my bare bum.

Being able to answer 'yes I can feel it going in' is one of life's very pleasurable experiences

Mom could tell without asking me whether I could feel the soapy solution goting into me simply by seeing the water level lowering in the enema can. Promising "only a little more" was her usual comment during the treatment.

If the water is warm, I can feel it better than just body temp water. Cold water is easy to feel going in, I don't like cold water. Water that is warm, or very warm feels best to me, but not too hot. I got the water too hot yesterday, so today the water will be a bit cooler than the hot water one yesterday. I can also feel soapy water going in. I used to use Ivory, have now switched to Dr. Bonners Perperment soap, feels much better.

Always!! sometimes that can actually be the hardest part.

Had a colon hydro therapist ask can you feel the flow in your traverse colon, I replied no, his comment was ladies seem to be more aware.

Been awhile since I have been on this site what happened to spell check.

As has probably been mentioned before, If you like the feel of the water going in, you must try the "Tickler." Use a standard enema tip, or one with a hole in the end, and insert it just a very short distance. Lube as required. Hang the bag at a reasonable height, and release the clamp. If the tip is JUST barely inside you, there will be no water flow. Too far/deep, and the water will flow freely. You want to push it in just enough so that you can control the flow with your sphincter, with the clamp open. Tighten down, and the water stops, relax a little, and the water flow again. The best part is that you REALLY feel the water going in. All of it, not just that first rush of water. You will lay there, turning the water on and off, until the bag is empty.

Enjoy.....

@magellan4200 - I totally agree with this "Tickler" way of having an enema. The best way I can describe the sensation is a "flutter" effect and it is a very very pleasant sensation. One that I thoroughly enjoy. 😃 When I want the flutter I use the small enema pipe and just barely slip it inside of me and control the flow with my fingers on the tube. I really love it when my husband gives me a bulb enema and barely puts the tip into me and sometimes he will really squeeze on it and make a very strong stream or move it so that there are different angles inside. Either way .. it is a very pleasant sensation.

My husband like the flutter effect too .. but it is kind of hard to stimulate his prostate with just the flow of the water and I will either have to hang the bag real high or squeeze the bulb extra hard to get enough pressure to even "kinda" stimulate his prostate. Enemas are very enjoyable to him because of the prostate stimulation and so most of the time I give him an enema with the douche pipe. But for me ... when I want the feel of the flutter .. it is the small enema pipe and just barely in.

Enjoy your enemas. 😃

I take all my enemas well above body temperature and can always feel it going in. I can feel every part of my colon as it fills. Tonight I took two soapy water enemas for a clean out and then two coffee enemas, each held 20 minutes. The feel of the very warm coffee going in is almost indescribely pleasurable.

My wife always asks me if I feel the nozzle and then when she starts the flow. Quite erotic.

I always do a small cleanout enema to expel the bulk in the colon before the main event.The main event enema for me is a deep colon insertion using a five ft. colon tube four ft. inside me during the insertion I can feel the solution working it's way into the colon as far as 4 ft. and yes it is a wonderful feeling that gets me horny as hell.A big O is sure to follow.

I am going to try that "flutter: thing the next time, which will be soon. It sounds like a great idea!

I don't remember being asked the question when I was little. This maybe because I didn't receive a lot of enemas growing up. But years later, I have asked my lover the question "Can you feel it going in?". And she has never had a problem figuring out the answer to that question. But I think it's a perfectly normal question to ask while giving an enema. Sometimes the bag won't appear to be deflating during the process. That may indicate some sort of obstruction. She could be clogged up from constipation. Or the angle of the nozzle is off a bit being obstructed by the anal wall. I put an inline pump (squeeze bulb) attached to the center of the enema hose. One or two squeezes and everything starts flowing again 😉
