Length of time you usually hold an enema

I am surprised so many hold the enema just a few minutes. I prefer retention coffee enema. I think its very joyful to hold the enema mostly at least for 30 minutes even when up three liters. Also soapy or glycerin enema I like to feel the liwuid in myself...

It really depends on if I am giving myself the enema or someone else is giving me the enema.

The most I ever held an enema when I gave myself one was about an hour and a half. NOW BEFORE YOU COMMENT ABOUT IT, READ ON! I first gave myself a 2 quart enema with an inflatable double balloon nozzle up my butt. I then laid down on some towels on the bathroom floor. I was tired as I had not slept in about 23 hours. It was only a matter of seconds until I dozed off. When I woke up an hour and half later, I realized what I had done. The water had worked its way up almost to fill both intestines. I then sat down on the toilet, released the balloons and a huge gush of water came out of me. However, it took about 25 minutes to get it all out.

The most I have ever held an enema because of getting it from a Dom was 20 minutes. This was from a female Dom. I have had male Doms make me hold enemas for up to 15 minutes.

When I do a castle soap enema I hold it for usually less than 5 minutes, the rinse is held for about 5 minutes. When I get to the 2 quarts of coffee I hold that 30 to 45 minutes. It all depends on how I feel at the time, there are times when I can't hold any of them for very long. Listen to your body and be safe.

I hold it a minimum of 40 minutes and one gallon. 60 minutes on a good day.

I begin with 1 quart clean out Catille soap. Hold 15 minutes. Expel. Then, 2 quarts 20-25 minutes. Finally, 3 quarts same amount if time.

After an hour rest, I go for gold. Four quarts taking one quart per 15-20 minutes. When bag is empty that is when the clock starts. But I position myself where I CANNOT watch the clock bi use a timer.

What is important is to stay in the same position at 4 quarts with little movement. Changing positions doesn't help ease the pain. Hold a tennis ball when you need to grip it. You will don't kick, squirm or beat your hands against bed or floor.

You can do it! It increases discipline in enemas which transfers to real life.

After a series of clean out enemas, I like to hold a gallon (using a salt solution) for about an hour. I have found that e-stim helps me hold the enema, as well as giving a much more intense orgasm.

It takes 15 minutes for Epsom Salt to be fully effective, but try to hold soapsuds or most other substances for more than 15 minutes can cause too much absorption by the bowel, and put you at risk for heart failure.

The length of time that I can hold depends on the position I'm in and how much I've taken. If I'm lying on the floor and it is between 1 and 2 quarts I'll be able to hold for 15 minutes or so. Sitting on the toilet seems to shorten the time, but I can still do 5 to 10 minutes. Standing up is the shortest time and within 2 minutes I'll have to seriously expel.

My regular enemas are probably only held about 5 minutes or more .. for enemas where I am just relaxing .. 10 to 15 minutes. If they are part of sex play with my husband .. then they are longer .. prepping for enema sex play usually means not holding them for long so we can 'get down to business' ;) If hubby is going down on me .. then I hold until I can hold no longer.

I always try to hold the enema as long as possile. Naturaly the larger the enema the shorter time I can hold it. Try for 5 minutes most of the time. Of course if another gave the enema they seem to control the time.

Larger enemas shorter time. At my maximum capacity I must expel almost immediately. Three qt. I can hold for 20-30 minutes. With a qt. plain water I can absorb it completely.

When I was 7 Mom switched me from plain water to soap followed by a rinse. Dad coached me to hold soap suds through several peristaltic cycles (breathing, relaxing, tensing etc.) Those were Golden moments when I learned that enema was a guy thing.

For my average cleansing enema I usually get the first 'genuine' contraction about 10 minutes after I call a halt to injection. I like two or three more 'healthy' contractions after that one so my hold time is 20 or more minutes. Trip to the toilet is made during a valley between two contractions.

Being "cool" counts !

Usually 5 minutes is all I can manage. When I was a kid, my mother would squeeze my buttocks tightly together after the soapsuds solution had run in to make me retain it, usually for 5 minutes, but on a few occasions she forced me to hold it for 10 or even 15 minutes which produced a much stronger expulsion and a more complete emptying of my bowels but caused me a lot of cramping and discomfort during the retention.

since i typically do either soapy or lemon juice solution, i hold between 10-20 mins usually. once i held 2 qts baking soda solution for an hour and 45 mins. had to expel only because someone was stopping by. I'd love to try that again, but i don't get much enema time alone these days.

I take my enemas very slowly, sometimes taking 15 minutes. I do not hold those for any length of time. If I take a small coffee enema I will hold it 15 minutes.

Usually take somewhere between 5 and 15 mins. depening on the content of the bag (soap for instance is much much harder to hold :D)

If I take a standing enema need to release almost immediately the bag is empty but if lying down can hold my enema for several minutes.

usually about 25 minutes

I'm surprised most respondents hold their enemas for only relatively short periods of time.

If that's all you've done, I highly recommend trying to hold a large volume (whatever that is for you), warm, soapy enema for as long as you possibly can - preferably at least 20 minutes.

First, you'll find that requires a lot of "intestinal fortitude" - which I quite enjoy.

Second, it provides a much more cathartic enema that leaves you freeling really cleaned out!

"TRY IT, YOU'LL LIKE IT!" :D

It depends on what I am using. If it's a soapy enema I can't hold those long. If it's the rinse which is usually salt and baking soda, I can hold those a long time.

I generally don't try to hold it for long since I usually tale large 3 and 4 quart enemas. I sometimes take a two quart enema and hold it while shaking my stomach like a hula dancer and sucking my stomach in and out. This works very well.

When i have a cleansing enema i usually only hold it for 10 minutes or so. When i have my coffee enemas i try to hold them for 20 - 30 minutes so i can get the full effect.

Only for 2 to 5 min's.....sometimes can hold longer....but only use for constipation.....love the feeling of filling and emptying out......

I answered 3-5 minutes. The filling sensations are stimulating. The holding sensations, for me, are not stimulating at all.

If I am just taking an enema, I hold it only a couple of minutes. For me, the filling sensations are more important than the holding ones.

If the enema is part of some sexual activity it is longer than a couple of minutes. If I am masturbating, I hold it until a few minutes after I have my orgasm. If my husband is oralling me while I fill up, I hold it until he lets me expel or until after I have resolution from my orgasm. If I just want to feel full, I could hold it for an hour with a double balloon retention nozzle, but I don't often have the time or desire to do that. A punitive enema is held as long as my husband wants me to.

Depends on the type of enema:

A 4 quart SSE, about 20 minutes. (My most frequent enema, and my poll answer.)

A large 6+ quart enema, as long as I can (which is not very long!)

A 8 to 24 oz bulb enema (my morning coffee enema), about 5 minutes.

A milk and molases enema, as long as I possibly can hold it - whew !

A small (1 qt) probiotic retention enema, never expelled (if I can).
