What is your preferred water temperature?

My approach to enemas is one of pleasure. I love the sensations of water flowing in and out. But a key factor is the temperature of the water. Warm water is my preferred temperature- I barely notice it going in (temperature wise) so I would imagine it is close to my body temperature. I have experimented with hotter water and love being able to feel the warmth inside me, but I have noticed that when I expel the hot water can be a bit irritating / painful to my anus so I have to back off on the temperature.

So what is your preferred temperature and why do you like it?

It depends. Sometimes I put in 4 qts of ice water, sometimes cold tap water, sometimes water that feels warm to my hand. In no event do I put in water that feels hot to my hand. It is nice to have a variety of sensations.

I'm very careful not to get water too hot or cold. I read somewhere that the colon doesn't have temperature sensitive nerves like skin so all the temp sensation is in the rectum. My personal preference is just below body temp so I or someone else can feel it going in but it's not uncomfortable.

107° => 110° F. when it reach my rectum or colon. I insulate my 3 quarts bag with thick beach towels, so I can enjoy a slow, sensual enema at the good temperature.

Warm, but not hot to the touch of the person GETTING the enema.

Not a specific temperature.

I will typically take the rectal temperature of the person who's receiving the enema before I prepare the solution. Once I get that temperature I'll typically make the solution a degree or two warmer.

The first in the series as close to body temp as possible, the second hot as possible without damage, and if a third, close to body temp.

I try to keep the temp between 96 and 100 the cooler temperature water seems to be expelled faster.

I like my enemas between 104 and 110 F. Easier for retention and I love the warmth flowing over my prostate

I like it very hot, not scalding, but hot!!!

The best temperature is at/a bit above body temperatrure. I use a digital thermometer to check the temperature of the solution before filling it into the bag.

I don't have a specific temperature. I like mine hot, but not so hot that the water will injure the colon. When I prepare the enema myself (most of the time) I let the water run on the back of my hand to see if my hand can easily tolerate the hot water. If so, I use it for an enema.

I also love to feel the warm water flowing into me.

I prefer the water temperature be 102 - 105 degrees. Works best for me.

Normally I prefer my solution to be a bit under body temperature so that the feeling of the liquid going in is more intense.

Warm and soapy makes you tingle. Like a nice shower, soapy and warm flowing over and into your body.

I will vary the temp at any given time, but around 110* F is very arousing for me.

I must be in the stall next to imdoug, I also like my water temperature betwixt 109 and 112 degrees. Any hotter than that and the incredible sensation of the warmth seeking it's way up into my system becomes uncomfortable.

I generally keep it to the low end of the green zone on my yogurt thermometer, between 101F and 106F. That seems most comfortable to me.

Right at rectal body temp is great for many therapeutic and herbal enemas. I like body temp or a hair above for implants.

I make certain to never go over 112F. But it's very rare that I even get close to that however tempting the prospect is on a chilly day. I'm afraid I'll burn my ass off.

9 times out of 10 I want a warm enema. On hot summer day I sometimes pipe in cool water, around 82F, to cool off and for that 'lump in my rectum' feeling. Cold water, below 60, goes in only as a purgative or if I'm seeking cramps, I can't hold that for long.

I do like to stick an occasional ice cube up there though.

As others have mentioned, I also vary the temperature for my patients (and myself) depending on the environment. For example, on a hot summer day, a coolish enema is always nice as it actually acts as a little air conditioner for the entire body! But just generally, I prefer to give them a few degrees above body temperature, say, around 100° to around 102° max, unless my patient states they want something different. That way, even as the solution cools a bit, it'll still be comfortably warm. To be sure, I always take their rectal temperature first.

I love it really hot. I like it so hot that I lose control of my bowels and I literally can't hold it in.

As hot and soapy as possible without doing harm!!!

+/- 113°F. in the bag.

+/- 113°F. in the bag.

Hot & soapy

I like my first enema to be ice water... tingles me all over.... I follow that bag with an enema that has a temperature of about 100 degrees. The difference between the two bags is unbelievable as my rectum and colon fills.

For the first enema 105 degrees F in the bag, feels warm and is easy to retain. For the second rinse enema

about 90 degrees in the bag. The cool enema is all expelled in about 3 minutes.

My first one may be ice water, cold tap water, or warm tap water, it just depends on how I am feeling at the time I set things up. I do not check the temperature. After the first one, I generally go to warm. Of course, the temperature will change in traveling from the bag to inside of me, so I have no real way of knowing what is entering me. Maybe one of us could develop a thermometer nozzle to allow us to monitor such things.

A hot one will make you sweat. I have only had one that was over 105. I like warmer coffee solutions, but am afraid of hotter than 105.

I like to take a warm one since it males me relaxe and able to take more.

I prefer my 4 quart enemas to be as hot and soapy as possible!!! I add several squirts of Dr. Bronners Peppermint castile soap and a tablespoon or 2 of Epsom salts to 4 quarts of hot water!!!
