Age and enema volume

I am 74 years old and I can take a 10-in nozzle with 4 quarts of water behind it with ease. I love that full feeling.

Does volume really make a difference in the experience?

Lavender,

Hello. I don't think we've spoken before. I'm just curious. It seems like enemas are somewhere between a pleasant pastime, a kink or a fetish to you. Do you take or give yourself recreational or sexually-intended enemas, like I enjoy? How much volume do you use and the maximum you've ever tried? I used to take 2.5 quarts for decades, but always wondered if more volume and holding it longer would be more enjoyable for me and erotic. After reading Zity over the last several years, I gradually increased my usual recreational sexual enema to 4 quarts and even experimented one single time up to 5 quarts. For me, safe and very enjoyable and arousing.

Eric,

No, we've never spoken before. Every few months I want an enema...and yes for the same reason you do. Then I forget it for a while. But the need always seems to come back. I use maybe two quarts, maybe three. But we want to stay safe...

4 qts feels great but im growing more. Im getting up there

Lavender,

You sound a lot like me - sometimes no enema for a month, other times several days of very large, long-held enemas in a row. Do enjoy your 2-3+ quarts of whatever you're pumping into yourself. I absolutely loved 2.5 q for many years. Being safe while enjoying your enemas is intelligent, mature and wise. And though I always fill my bag to its max at 4+ quarts, often I only take in much less because I achieve enough satisfaction and arousal to need an orgasm before 4 quarts. I'll look forward to reading your posts. So every day is not a 4-5 quart day. Now I do love the internal pressure of 4-5 quarts and the distention it causes, so fairly often I take the 4 q in, enjoy laying there feeling the fullness and pressure, sometimes even doze off, struggle up from my bathmat to enjoy watching my belly distention, and finally orgasm, either lying back down or sitting on the commode emptying. Thanks for the reply.

All the best,

Eric

During my many years of enjoying enemas, i have tried to take more but was very uncomfortable so i stay with what is most enjoyable for me.

That is what I do mostly with my sub. 2 1/2 qts gets to be his limit and he becomes very full. There are those rare times when "all things align" that I can rarely get almost 3 qts put in. But 2 or a bit over is the norm and enough in my book.

My suspicion is that every few months would fit in the "occasional" category where studies seem to put enemas as known safe and effective in people without underlying health conditions and when done safely (not too hot, being careful to not puncture the rectum).

As to volume making a difference yes, it does. The experience changes depending on the solution you choose and the volume you take. Both for how it feels and how effective it is - some people need larger enemas to get up higher from a functional standpoint (I'm usually in this group), some people get a great cleaning with 500cc of normal saline (I'm not in this crowd, but if you are then that would likely be a pretty safe enema from everything I've read). Some people enjoy the feelings of being fully filled and stretched, others don't need that. Everyone's body is different, experiment and see what works best for you - but DON'T use things that are known to be dangerous! People have died from ill-advised or poorly given enemas.

I have read that the enema experience is more than relaxing...it's like an altered state, a kind of high. I've had that experience.

Must be even more so if someone is doing it for you. I haven't had that experience ..

Your sub is lucky to have you - sensible and don't push his limits. I like the way you said when "all things align" I know and love the feeling when I experienced it.

Lavender,

I've had enemas, mostly self-administered, for over 50 years, and always enjoyed them for many reasons sensual, sexual, emotional and psychological. One of those feelings is definitely relaxation. Often, even with holding 4 quarts (or even 5 q one single time) I'm so relaxed and contented that I fall asleep and wake up in about 15-30 minutes, still holding my enema (held in by latex DBC). I might even call the feeling during especially pleasant enemas as a sort of high. Most of mine I give myself, now solo for about 10 years post-divorce. My recent ex-wife and some previous GFs were switches like me and we both loved her being a Domme and giving me large consensual forced enemas as her sub in a D/s dynamic. Even without playing D/s roles, I'd still adore her giving me the enema and sex thereafter and it's definitely even better than giving it to myself. However, with a partner who enjoyed treating me as her enema sub, it was even more satisfying and psychologically/emotionally rewarding.

I gave myself enemas since age 15 and they are always very sexually stimulating to me. Somewhere in my 20's I discovered that I enjoyed being a switch with my woman partner, especially enjoying mutual kinks. Part of that was enjoying being extremely submissive to her as she gave me enemas. My recent ex-wife also asked me to give her sexual enemas which I did very enjoyably, but more often than not I was her sub during enemas.

I don't remember childhood enemas, may be there are no one than i was small.

At 11 was some prescription to do enema for some medical tests, but my mom didn't do it to me, use pills to flush colon.

I interested in procedure, self-administred from old orange bulb. Used 2-3 times at once.

Later, at 14-15 i bought hot water combination bottle from local store, 2000cc volume. And with some training it was easy to hold full capacity.

This year did my first colonoscopy, then get prepared use 2000cc enema bag (can hold up to 2.3L). After that buy 4000cc silicone enema bag, now can receive about 3000cc without difficulty. Will train to hold full bag.

For solution use only clean water, salt (10-20g/L) and glycerine (40g/L). Sometimes small amount of mineral oil (150cc from syringe with colon tube).

Than was young prefer high enema, than it flow very fast (1-2min full bag), but it hard to hold.

Now prefer use very slow flow, about 10-15min to fill and up to 15 min to hold. Much easier and more volume to hold. But first enema in series typically only 1500cc, probably because colon is full. 2nd and other 2000cc+.

As a child, I started with one 100 milliliter syringe. Later I started putting in three of them in a row (there were simply no bigger ones at home, but I lacked the courage to buy one at the pharmacy). At the age of ten, however, I overcame my shame and bought a combined thermophore at a pharmacy. Its volume was two liters and the main benefit - the enema could be made without the help of a hand. Just lie down, put on the nozzle, adjust the flow and enjoy the senses. It seemed very comfortable after the syringe. By adjusting the slow flow, I could easily inject the entire volume. It opened up a new range of senses. Although now I can easily inject three liters, I usually make an enema with one liter of solution. I'm not a fan of cramps or pain. The best relaxation is with one liter of 40 degrees Celsius coffee. With the right nozzle and clean intestines, it can be enjoyed for at least an hour or a half. I like to make love to my wife during such an enema, so too big a belly interferes with this attraction.

... At the age of ten, however, I overcame my shame and bought a combined thermophore at a pharmacy.

What is a thermophore in this context? In English it just means a heating pad, but that’s clearly not what you bought!

Edit: It’s a hotwater bottle, I find after a little research. Makes sense now 😃

I was raised on the eight ounce bulb. My mom and step dad and step mom loved multiple insertions into my cute rosebud hole. So I got anywhere from four to eight bulbs. They were all lined up on the side of the bathroom sink filled with warm Ivory soapy water. The black nozzles were all glistening with a coating of Vaseline so as one bulb came out, another slid in. Those started when I was around seven years old. I still do the same trhing today when I need an enema. I'll turn 76 next Sunday the 21st.

@DST: I got anywhere from four to eight bulbs. They were all lined up on the side of the bathroom sink filled with warm Ivory soapy water.

Wow - first I've read of where there was more than one enema bulb being used. Seeing four or more bulbs lined up must have been scary!

Enemaboy2004, I think you are correct about the amount of water we got as kids. When I was getting an enema as a little boy, I thought that it took a long time before my mom withdrew the nozzle and encouraged me to hold the soapy solution for a little. Those early enemas could have been only 8 or more ounces. I do know this, however, when I was 13 years old my father took me to the family doctor because I had bronchitis. The doctor asked me if I had moved my bowels that day or the day before. I told him that the day before yesterday was my last time. He told me father that I should be given an enema when we got home. My father asked him how much water I should be given. His response was that for my age and my size one quart would be good. He then said to me that if I could not take that amount, but could hold what I did take for a few minutes, that would be good too. I was able to take the quart. I did not start to take 2 quarts until I was a young adult.

I didn't get enemas as a child but discovered my old man's Penthouse Variations at about 15 and self administered enemas weren't far behind. Back then it was 2 quarts because that's what the bags held and we all know the challenges with drug store nozzles. I was 23 when I discovered the double balloon nozzle – remember the day – and for 30 years since my capacity has been 3 to 3.5 quarts, depending on day, situation, etc., etc., etc.

The first time I took two quarts, I was eight years old almost nine. My RN grandmother gave me a 3H enema, because I had been getting constipated too often. The first time I took more than two quarts, I was a teenager and at my girlfriends for the afternoon. We had the house too ourselves, she had just started her period, so we decided too give each other a couple of enemas. It was the first time we had given each other enemas at her house, we normally did them at my house. Thats when I discovered there family bag held 2 ½ quarts, not 2 quarts, like the bag at home. It wasn’t until I was married, and before we had kids, that I took a three quart enema. My wife had just gotten a pumpkin bag that held three quarts. I don’t recall now, if she bought the bag new or if someone had given it too her. Anyway, the first time we used it, we tried a 2 ½ quart enema first, then a three quart enema second. We both were able too take and hold the three quart enema, after having first taking a 2 ½ quart enema. The thing I recall best about the first three quart enema we took together, like it happened yesterday, is it made both of us look like we were pregnant.

Most of the medical texts that I saw in the 50's and 60's showed graduated amounts of solution for an enema from children to adults. My favorite text suggested a pint of solution with several minutes of retention. Because preparation was an enjoyable aspect, I would often use a measuring cup and then add a bit for clearing the hose of air. I saw my mom use the same measuring cup at times.

I took almost daily enemas for several years as a youngster. They were usually between one and two pints as suggested by the texts. At age 11, I filled my mom's “douche bag” and took 2 quarts. This was suggested volume when preparing to douche. I got it all in with some minor discomfort. The down side was that I ran to the toilet many times over the next 24 hours. I must have gotten something in the enema that messed up my system.

Eventually, I could approximate the volume and continued taking enemas until I was comfortably filled. Somewhere between 1 and 2 quarts is a very good enema for a cleanse. 1.5 quarts is perfect for a coffee enema that I can retain for 10-20 minutes. Beyond 2 quarts isn't all that enjoyable for me. I'd prefer multiple enemas to a huge volume. Even a quickie with the bulb is effective and enjoyable as desired.

I've seen references online to a “Happy Bum”. My bum is much happier with my safe and sane enema use.

Since I started back in the seventies (after reading Penthouse Variations) I learned to enjoy up to 4 quarts in the shower after a series of sea salt enemas, but was most comfortable with a 3 ½ quart wine, beer, champagne or my favorite coffee and vodka top off for an extended session while watching Enemarotica videos and self pleasuring. Oh my, and don't give in to the “you'll die” alcohol enema fear mongering. Know your limits and enjoy.

Whatever the age I always got a bulb of 400ml and 1 bulb younger then 2 as an adult, it is enough

I got bulb enemas up until around 11 years old. I'm guessing probably 8 to 12 ounces or so. When I started getting the bag enemas, they were about a quart. I think my first two quart enema was around 15. My comfort limit is about 2.5 quarts and I usually don't try any more than that.

We never used the bulb in my house. An enema was always with the big red bag and the volume usually depended on the need - constipation, illness or punishment, with lots of soap added as mom decided.

My early enemas were from a small bulb. I expect I got 6 to 8 oz. The bag was usually filled half way when that started around age 11 so about 1 quart. When I was 13 the enemas became 2 quart.

In my early teens I could take 4 qts clean out enemas my mom hesitated to put the second bag in me and asked “ are you sure” and I said”yes” because I loved the fullness feeling of all of that water inside of my rectum! These days about 2qts is my limit.

Without the help of a ballon maybe 2 quarts these days.

My mom had the typical 2 qt red bag. This was in the 50s and 60s. I can’t remember for sure but I think my first enema was around age 8. Mom always got a cooking pot that was probably 2 qts and filled it most of the way then took a bar of soap and swished it around in the water. Poured it into the bag then got a little more water in the pot and topped off the bag. I don’t remember taking the whole thing but I do remember complaining about being full. I can hear her saying, just a little more! She used this same bag on me up to age 13 then stopped due to straightening of my male member.

When graduated to the enema bag from bulb enemas. Mom filled the two-quart bag full. I had to take as much as could, then go to the and return for more fillings.

As a kid in the home , my mom only instilled about ‘ ½ bag ’ of our two quart fountain syringe at enema time . As i matured , she ‘ upped the anty ’ as to a little more volume over the ‘ 1 quart enema ‘ I have described above . By the time I was an early teen , I was taking a full ’ 2 - quart ‘ enema . Mom gave me enemas through my early adulthood years when home from my studies @ our state university until I left home to begin my career . I as a mature man I still ‘ take ’ a ‘ 2-quarter ’ as to volume and have not tried to exceed that volume as the slowly instilled enema still does ‘ yeoman service ’ as to results and tests my ability to hold that volume for a length of time prior to expulsion .

Looked back at My older post , Aug 2017 , tells the story . Its 4 years later , I am 80 now , every 10 days or so , I have a “ Health Aide Lady ” who visits and gives about a 1 Pint opener , then a 2 quart fill up . Don't know exactly what it does , but seems to keep My IBS issues controlled . Under my supervision current Lady has developed wonderful Method and Touch !! Wife is in favor , as long as she doesn't have to do it , wont allow weekly visits though .
