Laxative suppositories for no obvious reason

The normal use of glycerin and other laxative suppositories is with constipated patients, or perhaps to prepare for a rectal examination.

It seems however that some parents or caregivers used glycerin suppositories as a kind of preventive measure. Agracier mentions gettings a glycerin suppository from caregivers to force a bowel movement before bath-time. In the movie La Baule les Pins, a mother has her girl take a glycerin suppository every evening to force an evening bowel movement (I suppose the filmmaker reflects some event of her own life or somebody she knew - such silly side-story cannot be invented!).

So I was wondering - were you given laxative suppositories for no real pressing reason?

I suppose that there will exist parents inserting laxative suppositories to her children regularly because of the follwing reasons:

- This in order to prevent any form of an auto intoxication.

- This in order to prevent any form of a disobedience.

After attaining adulthood, I enjoy this game of taking / giving various sorts of suppository with my partner. Purpose is enjoying the moments and feelings of anal sex.

As a girl some supposed preventive has been put to me. prevention of mother, grandmother and other ...... enema was hot !!!

Both Sis and I got suppositories as preps for our twice-weekly enemas. We also got then any time we were "out of sorts". These were always bisacodyl, not glycerine. As we got older, and starting playing together, we used glycerine suppositories for fun.

Agracier and Ricini have described the "traditions" in my family in the above posts. You could have added "response to disobedience" to that list though. An orthodox medic would probably say these were not valid reasons.

To this subject I have found the following advice: http://oddrandomthoughts.com/castor-oil-better-bring-a-porta-potty/

"Castor oil used to be known as a household remedy in many homes, but not only that, it was also a big deterrent for bad children. That’s right, I’m sure most of you have heard the ole saying, “If you don’t behave, You’re gonna get the Castor Oil“. Just hearing that is enough to make me wanna behave and I’m an adult…lol. Of course now days the generations that used castor oil for remedies and punishment have long past, along with it that parental advice of medicinal punishments. But castor oil is still seen quite often in comedy sitcoms and cartoons, I love the Tom and Jerry episode where Tom swallows that huge spoon of castor oil! Yuk! These references to castor oil are not quite as funny to today’s generation as they are to older generations, simply because they’ve never experienced the power of this stuff."

I suppose that this form of a "response to disobedience" will be far more intervene in the well-being of a person than a laxative suppository.
