Moms & Enemas a good discussion.
We are a married couple, Klismos for 36 years, and both of received enemas from our mothers, here is a little information about our experiences.
But first we want to bring another aspect into this thread. What do you know about your mother taking enemas either solo or given my someone else? And are you willing to share what you know?
My mother initially gave terrible enemas, not as punishment but simply because she didn’t know how. Let me say up front an enema, even when given gently and lovingly, by its very nature an enema can become uncomfortable to some degree, but the ones she initially gave to me HURT, A LOT! The amount was whatever the doctor ordered based on my age and weight so the amount was not her choice. The water was never too hot but was usually too cool, often right out of the cold water spigot; the bag was hung very high and she put too much soap in it, she would put the bar of ivory into the measuring pitcher and let the rush of water run over it filled to prescribed amount then she would pour the mixture into the bag along with the bar of soap letting the bar floating in the bag. She also just opened the clamp and once the flow started it wasn’t stopped until the bag emptied no matter how much I cried and pleaded for it to stop. If I couldn’t take it all and inadvertently began expelling while the enema was going in, it was stopped and I could get on the toilet, the remaining enema and bar of soap was poured back into the pitcher and water added to meet the prescribed amount, then the enema with the soap bar, was then poured back into the bag and the enema given.
She even gave them to herself the same way she gave them to me. My bedroom was next to the bathroom and we had a hot air heating system, the registers, although offset from each other were on the same duct so I could hear her panting, groaning and talking her way through an enema, telling herself that she needed to take the whole bag full or that she would need to do it all over again. Sometimes she couldn’t make it and I’d hear her expelling, them making up another enema and on occasion even a third.
Later a caring nurse who gave me enemas in the hospital taught my mother how to properly prepare and give an enema and after that things were much better.

My enema experiences were completely different than Marvin’s. My mother, grandmother and Aunt gave my sisters and I slow, gentle enemas, they also gave them to each other, I can remember my mother saying the she was going to grandmas because either she or my aunt, needed help taking an enema .
My aunt even taught me how to give an enema when I was a sophomore in high school and my mother was my patient, I was surprised that she took slightly over three and a half quarts before she ask me to stop, she had taken to the point where her legs were shaking, her breath was coming in short gasps and her toes were tightly curled, My aunt told me that those were the signs that she had taken all she could. I couldn't believe she had taken that much and wanted to go into the bathroom with her but my aunt said that she needed to be alone. I still voiced my concern that she would be all right and my aunt reminded me that after I had experienced my first "benefits" reaction when she had given me an enema a few years before, that she my mother and grandmother had told me that what I had experienced was a normal reaction in a healthy woman. Then I understood that Mom needed privacy for her "benefits" time too.
