Enemas?

[smartandsexy]

I posted this first on the GB and it was suggested I try here too, so here goes...

I'm just wondering if anyone out there can give some advice on enemas...the best way to go equipment, solution wise etc and any general tips. I'm interested both for my health (I have IBS) and also maybe for cleaning before anal sex (which I will probably try with my boyfriend before too long). Right now I am thinking more in terms of my health, and I'll cross the other bridge when I come to it, so to speak.

I've only had one enema in the past, and that was hospital admistered before an endoscopy. It was a horrible experience. Actually having the enema given was fine....even a little pleasurable But the after effects were extreme pain and nausea - a lot like having food poisoning. I'm guessing that was to do with the chemicals used, and that I wouldn't get that same reaction with water or another solution? Because there's no way I'd put myself through that again for no essential medical reason *shudder*

I'm sure there are people on the boards that have used enemas before anal play, and maybe others that have done it for health too. Can anyone help me out here....share your wisdom??

This link is to the Enema section from the library. Hopefully there is information to help, if you still have questions bring them back to us and we'll give it another go at answering.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Would using an enema aggravate the IBS? Not sure I'd do it without asking someone who knows.

More important then the enema, won't anal sex aggravate IBS? I'm no doctor, but I think you should at least research this.

As there's no such thing as IBS in any real sense, then it's impossible to say what will or won't affect it - that's going to vary for everyone. The anal sex thing was a secondary issue. I was interested basically in using an enema for those rare times where I feel really really ill and sick because I'm so 'bunged up'.

I've done some reading and I think it's worth trying, but my living situation would make it very awkward right now. Maybe in the future.
