Enemas - Male Bath Houses

A few gay bath houses around the country have douche rooms where patrons can prepare themselves foe anal sex. After all, it is polite to present a sanitized rectum to your "top." But, most places, and all in my part of the country, have only public area showers and cubicle toilets with no running water, making it inconvenient for enema bulb use.

What's the best strategy to douche on the premises, before and after anal sexual encounters? I've never observed any douching activity in the public shower facility and might be embarrassed or ridiculed to be the first to do so. I have no idea if management would condone taking a bulb in the shower, holding it in and expelling it in the toilet. Should I just ask about proper etiquette when I check in? It seems to me, enema bulbs and such are sold at these establishments, but perhaps they are intended to be used at home, not at the bath house. I'm not the dominant type, so I'm not going to risk humiliation complaints from the other guys or the spa manager if I don't follow the house rules. I would greatly appreciate some advice.

Given the situation you described I would be inclined to do a series of enemas before arriving at the bath house. If there isn't a place to douche in private or in place you feel comfortable, then don't risk an embarrassing situation at the bath house.

I know everybody is different, but I can do a very cleansing enema session that will keep me clear for up to 24 hours. If you are planning on going to the bath house, I think it would be best arrived ready to play and not have to worry about navigating a tricky situation at the premises. You should be in a much more relaxed state of mind and can enjoy yourself.

I would just politely ask the host. It's doubtful that you will be the first person to ever ask. Like ProV, if I were going to visit such an establishment, my bowels would already be glistening prior to arrival - but I would want very much to be able rinse out before leaving. I find it hard to believe that there aren't provisions for this - maybe just not obvious enough for you to figure out.

The bath houses with douche "facilities" are not that common but those are nice perks. Given the amount of money that the owners make from the sale of the disposable plastic hoses that are used with the taps in the stalls, they most certainly hope that the patrons make use of those facilities. In my observation, a fair number of men take advantage of them. This can create a very erotically charged environment for guys like me who are into enemas for more than just cleaning.

As for bathhouses without the douche facilities, I think it would be a serious breach of etiquette to clean out in a public shower. I have only seen it happen once and I thought it was very odd. That said, some guys do clean out in the toilet stalls. That is not considered a breach of etiquette that I am aware of. I have certainly used a bulb syringe on myself in the privacy of a stall. The only issue is that you typically have to leave the stall and go to a sink to refill it. Guys do this all the time and I have never seen anyone act like it was any big deal. A few years ago, I ended up at a ink refilling my bulb syringe at the same time as another guy. We just looked at each other and laughed.

This was back in 99 or so but I remember the Steamworks in Berkley had hose connectors like you would see in a chemistry class attached to the toilets. When you went into the stalls there was a Valve and hose barb on all the toilets all you had to do was bring your own enema hose and nozzle or if you were unprepared you could get enema tubing from the Vending machines.

The Steamworks in Berkeley still has the water taps for the plastic douche hoses in the stalls. So do the other Steamworks baths in the U.S. and Canada. Don't ask me how I know. Hehe.

I was at a bathhouse in Seattle some years ago and it was a pretty crude set up all around (not decked out like Steamworks). But in one bathroom they had an enema station. I went in to pee and a guy was cleaning out. While I was in there he moved from the enema station over to the toilet, which only had a curtain, and expelled.

Kismet, what kind of enema station was it? Was it a tap that you hooked a disposable hose up to like at Steamworks? Was the station out in the open? I get concerned about sanitation at some point with enema facilities that are designed to be used by multiple people. At Steamworks, I am not so concerned because the tube is disposable and the tap is plumbed to city water pressure, eliminating the possibility of backflow.

Oh how I wish there were female bath houses.

That's all :-)

Female here, but- I go to a club for the intent purpose of having anal sex, or fisting. I clean out at home before I go.

Methinks your actual question is- Where is there a bath house I can have an enema, because I really want one?

nclpckl22- There are. They are called sex clubs, or swingers clubs. Just google your city. At my club, couples come in and the women pile on top of each other, leaving the men to wander the earth looking for a unicorn. Single women are more than welcome in the pile.
