Cramps and Enemas

I am curious about your experiences involving cramps and enemas. Mom always said that if there aren't cramps then the enema is not doing its job. As an adult I need a sufficient amount of cramps. Guess I have been conditioned. You?

Cramps are usually caused by gas in the bowel being compressed by the enema and pressing against the bowel wall. The other frequent cause is simply trying to inject too much water too fast. I don't enjoy cramps so I try to avoid anything which causes them.

I don't like cramps and I believe they are caused by trying to give the enema too fast and holding the bag too high!

Redbag:

I am with you 100% with the conditioning from momma in the ‘50s, however, there is a fine line between cramps and unexceptable cramping for me. I’m in to pleasure and cleaning, not some type of unrealisty quanty or bazaar solutions to punish myself for unknown mental reasoning.

Hated the Enema Cramps when I was young. Always told "The Enema always hurts, that's how I know it's working" or "....that's The Enema working on your bowels" Now it's not a really good enema if there is no cramping.

You don't need any cramps for a medically necessary enema to work extremely well.

Anyone who tells you cramps are necessary is a LIAR.

On the other hand, cramps may be fun for the GIVER, less so for the RECEIVER.

Cramps are the thing that makes the enema exciting.

Cramps are not a necessary thing for enemas to work, but are a part that lets you know an enema is working on you breaking up and softening the hard=packed stools in the colon.

For me, cramps are something I don't need but can't avoid sometimes... normally they appear after the first, big expulsion and are gone after fifteen minutes at the latest. If not, I immediately stop.

I like the cramps ,it's erotic to me but you don't have to cramp if your bag is low and slow

My enemas are usually large enough to cause some cramping. It's very rare that I don't experience them. So, now it just seems to be part of the enema routine. I suppose I'm a bit ambivalent about cramping. I don't necessarily find them pleasant, but I guess I do like feeling some discomfort on some level.

I dreaded the cramps when mom was 'pitching' and I was receiving, Enema volume and bag mounted high ,

Later, when my wife gave me enemas OTK with the bag hanging low there was no problem

A little cramping is OK... I hate excessive cramps though.

If you want to be assured of getting cramps use cold tap water.

I'm with Lisa-- cramps are what makes an enema a moving experience.

Cramps in your bowels are a sign that the peristalis will be activated by something irritable in the enema solution. In taking a warm enema with tap water you will not have any cramps. In contrast to this you will have bad cramps in taking a strong soapy enema solution, further with some crushed Dulcolax pills solved in the enema liquid or with a Milk and Molasses Enema.

I need it yo some degree

I don't go for a cramping enema all the time, but for a change of pace it's enjoyable.

Cramps are good!!! I like the feeling of the cramps as a long hot soapy 4 quart enema slowly fills my colon!!!

I hate cramps and try really hard to do an enema that does not give them to me. Most of the time I manage to take a very effective enema and have either minimal or no cramps at all. Call me a coward, but I really don't enjoy pain in any form. Why anyone would think that you need to inflict pain to achieve good is not thinking clearly. An enema is to be enjoyed.

I agree Emom, I'm not out to attain volume or holding records, or cramping. I just want my enemas to be relaxing and cleansing, Also a little stimulating too. 😉

I will join the non-cramping group. Why inflict pain on myself, when what I want to do is enjoy a sensuous, sexual enema.

I'll have to join the "mild cramps are sexually stimulating" camp. These only happen for me on rare occasions. Most of my enemas are absolutely non cramping and very enjoyable/satisfying. It has been a VERY long time since I ever had any cramps of any kind, even using a soapy mix.!?

If you've been hospitalized for anything, chances are you know about the "pain scale." I'm not sure that's what it's called, but that's what it is. You tell the nurse the level of pain you're having, on a scale of 1 to 10. They try to keep you in the low numbers, except shots I got in my butt and thigh were at least 8 or 9, although that's another story.

When I was getting home care after being in the hospital in my early 20s, the nurse who started me on enemas asked me to tell her in numbers how much cramping I was having. She wanted to keep the numbers at 1 or 2. If it got higher, she stopped the flow to let me rest and coached me to deep breath, which at the time was painful in itself.

That experience stayed with me because I used the "pain scale" sort of jokingly with my daughters and husband through the years -- tummy aches, headaches...broken wrist with older dd when she fell off her skateboard. For enemas we called it a "crampy scale." Personally, I'm not into heavy cramps. I guess you could call me a wimpy 2 on the scale. Whether giving or receiving, I don't like to go above that.

I hate cramps, full stop. Perhaps I'm a wimp!

Personally, cramps are not something I enjoy when savoring the other sensations that come with an enema. Inevitably they may occur despite my efforts to avoid them, but they are not something that drives me insofar as enemas are concerned.

Those who enjoy crampy enemas...bless you! But for this girl, I'm all about a soothing, sensual experience!

Have fun and play safe!

Maybe I've misrepresented myself. I like the feeling of distention not cramps. I do love the gurgling and pressure of a peristalsic wave. TMI perhaps. Lol

I learned a long time ago that enema cramps can be virtually eliminated with the right combination of relaxation, water temp and pressure/flow rate, notwithstanding Mom's belief that a good enema must be a little uncomfortable. I'm in it for the pleasure, like many here.

I agree with liquidsky. Distention and gurgling are fun and the feeling of the water being moved through the colon, rushing to the conclusion is great. Cramps are not part of my fun.

When I had By-pass the Nurses had a neatly drawn scale from 1 to 10 on a white board in the room and that was my “Discomfort Level”, you know ............... thats like the ' Pig with Lip Stick ' ....................... It fuckin’ hurts when your chest has been sawed in half no matter what the choice of words are
