Question - Enema pleasure physical vs. psychological?

This is intended as only a fun exercise that might get you thinking and elicit some juicy reading.

Where do you think you fall on a 1 to 10 scale, with 1 being that all the pleasure you derive from enemas is physical, and 10 being all the pleasure you derive from enemas being psychological?

It would be great, if besides identifying where you see yourself on the scale, you would elaborate on the juicy physical sensations or psychological factors that really get you going.

After giving it a little thought, I will come back and answer my own question.

I am one of those who has migrated from the 1-side of the scale towards the 10-side.

When I first found enemas erotic, I was about a 2 or 3 on the scale; it was heavily weighted towards the physical sensations - the insertion of the nozzle, being slowly filled with a large volume of warm soapy water, the strong expulsion and the light, empty feeling afterwards. I say 2 or 3, not 1, because the sight of the enema bag bulging with the warm, soapy water was a turn-on. Even then there was also probably some component, though not then recognized, of the submissiveness of submitting to another and letting them control me and my body.

Now, many years later, I would place myself at about 7 or 8 on the scale. The physical sensations of an enema are still arousing but it is now far more about the psychological aspects - anticipation, submission, losing voluntary control of my body, humiliation or even degradation. This is so much so that I may actually prefer fantasizing while masturbating, or better yet being masturbated, to actually having an enema.

I found enemas erotic from the first one I ever had when I was eight years old, given by myself. In fact, that's why I took it.

The pleasure is completely physical.

I find that for both physical and psychological scales I'm undoubtedly at a ten. I love the insertion particularly with a larger nozzle. I don't want to try anything larger then 1.25 inches in diameter. I also love the slow filling. The distention is exquisite too. I almost prefer the mental aspects of submission, embarrassment and even degradation as has been noted. Being given an enema by a woman either loving or stern is super too. I like all aspects a lot.

The exact midpoint is 5.5 and since I enjoy both physiological and psychological pleasure that is where it would be overall sometimes it might be a 4 or a 6 depending on my mood and need.

Such a simple thing. We are about to over anal-yze it.

I would say I am in the lower end of the scale maybe a 3-4. The physical sensations are very powerful to me between the filling and expelling. This repeated over and over again (fill and expel) sets me up for some anal play and the grand finale orgasm. My anus is more open and sphincter muscles are so relaxed which makes inserting an anal toy so easy and so pleasurable.

So enemas for me- more physical than psychological.

I tend a bit more toward the 6-7 range of the psychological side for the anticipation and mental fantasies that often accompany an enema. However, some days I am more down the scale to the 3 range for the sensations of being stretched over by a larger nozzle and the gush of the solution distending me.

My place on the scale varies depending on the circumstances and my mood.

At times, I'm all about the physical aspects of an enema. The exquisite feeling of a long slithery colon tube invading my innermost regions; the heaviness of a full colon, the "hurt so good" waves of cramps that inevitably come; the release of pent up sexual tension with a toe-curling orgasm and the sweet relief of a complete expulsion. Some days, the anticipation of these marvelous sensations drives me to get out the bag.

On other days, it's simply the thrill of what is to come that swirls around in my mind. The sight of the bulging bag full of warm water with suds cascading down the side; the ultimate surrender to the mercies of the solution and the prolonged afterglow of a successful enema session.

In other words, on some days I'm a "1" through and through and others a perfect "10". That's the magic of an enema for me...it satisfies both my physical and/or psychological needs on any given day!

Have fun and play safe!

Deb, I am envious, you get to enjoy the best of both worlds! And, your descriptions are deliciously vivid. Thank you for that!

Your answer made me realize that the physical vs psychological aspect also varies for me, but nothing like to the extent it apparently does for you. Years ago, it varied in a range towards the physical end of our scale and now it varies within a range nearer the psychological end of our scale.

Either way, an enema can be a wonderful, erotic and satisfying experience.

It depends on the situation and the scale has certainly changed over the years.

By time I was 10, I had already decided I liked enemas for the way they made me feel.

As a teen the enema became purely erotic. Just the thought of one or the sight of any equipment would get me hard, and my favorite pastime was masturbation with the enema nozzle in my ass.

As a young man I dreamed of the opportunity to give an enema to a woman in a sexual situation. My new wife indulged my pleasures a few times before deciding they were just too gross and disgusting. So it was back to masturbation and solo enemas while she went shopping or was otherwise out for a while.

As I got older the enemas became more physical than erotic. Sure, a good enema picture or video still gets me hard but sometimes I can have a solo series of enemas without even getting hard at all. It still feels good but the purpose has changed from erotic to physical.

Deb, I am envious, you get to enjoy the best of both worlds! And, your descriptions are deliciously vivid. Thank you for that!

Thank you, WillyNilly!! I was just trying to convey how enemas make me feel on most any given day!

Deb

I guess that Deb has it pretty much right in that it can lots of both. When my GF has that glint in her eyes and says that the time is right I begin to feel the juices begin to flow. When I hear her preparing her "witches brew" I really am ready for what is to come. While she inserts the nozzle I just go into another space. The flowing of the water (?) is a special sensation that I can't really describe. Numbers don't really describe it . . . nor can I describe the feelings of my GF moving the nozzle around as I fill. She is next!

Deb, you have a way with words! Thanks you for conveying your thoughts and feelings so wonderfully!

Thanks, Rock!!

It really depends on my reasons for taking the enema(s). Both Susan & I have chronic constipation, so we need some stimulus to get our BM's. Sometimes, we may go 5 or 6 days before doing something, especially if travelling. Those times, when we are feeling bloated, our enemas are 1-3...other times, one or the other starts thinking about the "other" benefits, and soon we're naked in the kitchen mixing enemas in our 4 qt rubbermaid pitcher. those sessions are 8-10. These numbers are for the receiver...the giver is always doing it for pleasure! I love watching Suzy's tummy swell as I fill her, and sometimes cum as she lets go with a blood-curddling, screaming orgasm. She tends to make a mess when she has one, but the experience justifies the cleanup!

How do you really separate the two??

I am exactly in the middle of the scale. Both aspects are very enjoyable and important to me. I enjoy everything about a good, warm, relaxing enema -- begining with the anticipation and ending with the feeling of well-being!

I was no more than a 3 a year and a half ago. However, after discovering this site and all the pleasures that have come with it I would say I'm much closer to an 8. I am an IBS sufferer consequently enemas were much more of a physical relief. The pleasure was derived was more from the after effect then the actual enema itself. Don't get me wrong it definitely was erotic to have the nozzle going into my ass and feeling the warm water flow followed by mild cramping where I would massage my tummy. I seldom had the desire to masturbate and orgasm while doing enemas. Occasionally I would masterbate to erotica that contained kinky enema themes. But there was a definite health reason for the procedure and an amazing feeling of lightness and spiritual cleansing that I derived.

Now, however it is impossible for me to separate the psychological erotic effects from the enema. Sharing with another the intimacy and raw emotion that I have experienced during enema has brought me to new sexual heights. My SO and I both enjoy the benefits of erotic play during an enema. I tend to be more on the receiving end but hope to explore the giving of the pleasure that I receive.

But I think all great sex takes place in your head. The most important sex organ is the brain. Great sex always has significant psychological component for me. The physical is definitely a part of it but, it's really about having your head in the right place to reap the joy from such an intimate sharing. A nice spanking followed by an enema, the surrender with knowledge I will be well cared for physically and emotionally provides an a sense of freedom that allows me to fly...I never knew what I was missing.

I would rate mself a 5.5 and this would change depending on my mood and needs.

"How do you really separate the two??"

LisaK, I just now stumbled upon your question. I do not separate the two. The hypothetical scale I proposed assumes we all fall somewhere on a line that goes from entirely physical (1) to purely psychological (10). I guess choosing 1 or 10 separates the two in the sense that, for those people, only physical pleasure or psychological pleasure exists. In reality, I expect people at either of those extremes are very rare.

Both!!!

I really can't separate the physical and psychological pleasure I get from an enema. Both seem quite intermixed from feeling the nozzle or colon tube slide through my anus into my rectum and colon, my rectum and colon filling with warm, soapy fluid, the cramps and fullness, the loss of control in my expulsions, and finally, with my anus and rectum open I can insert some good sized toys and have pulsing orgasm. At 65, feeling my anus and rectum contract around a toy in an orgasm as my cum shoots from my hard penis is mind blowing.

I will swing back and forth a little but for the most part I am a dead center 5. I love the feeling of the big douche nozzle slowly sliding into me, the warmth and fullness as the water flows, the stimulation in my rectum and vagina as the nozzle is moved around ( thats why the curved ones are the best ) and the feeling of releasing a really big enema. However the build up to that turns me on just as much. Being told you are going to be getting an enema, waiting to get it, standing naked in the bathroom smelling the rubber of the bag and the Ivory soap, watching the milky water being poured into the bag, being told to assume whatever position. One is just as good as the other to me.

Yes, it depends. Most definitely. If I'm bound up and need to get my insides moving or cleared out, I'm thinking more of the physical benefits. I can get pretty "mechanical" taking an enema when that occurs. That's not to say that I don't feel the psychological benefits. Let's say 2/3 physical, 1/3 mental. On the other hand, if I'm totally stressed and feel like unclogging my brain by retreating to our master bath for some hydrotherapy (both in and out of the tub), or asking my husband for a massage and a quart or two of internal warmth, that's when for me the percentage swings the other way. Most defintely. In both instances the benefits add up to 100% -- and that's what counts.

A clean body a clear mind I think its a 50%/50% . I use enemas when I am up set it helps I also use enemas to relax and lots of other things as well yes sex too.

I'd say I am a 6.

Clean mind, clean body, take your pick

Probably a 6 or a 7, but it's difficult to answer, in that an enema is physically pleasurable because I'm psychologically stimulated by it. eg., Once the climax occurs, the physical sensation isn't nearly as pleasurable or intense as it was prior to the climax.

I probably started off as a 9, recalling and trying to relive (and work through) early confusing experiences that mingled excitement with fear and dread. But as an adult, I'm more like a 4. I love the sensations and the sense of well-being afterward, though perhaps that's a function of psychological release. With the right person, I could move back to a 10 and be a 1 at the same time. Wish I could find that person.......
