Mom gave me a lot of enemas, but it was usually after talking with my grandmother or one of my friends mothers. I was an only child and until I was 12 the only grandchild. I have one enema I remember very vividly, and exactly what I did to get it... although it was unintentional... at the time. I was playing with Janet, who's mom was big on enemas, and we both complained of not being able to go and being uncomfortable. I think my words were "I feel like I have to go but I can't." Janet had said something similar to her mom, and after they talked we were both given enemas. Mom used a funnel and a rubber rectal tube, pouring a little water and asking me if I could take more over and over. I'm sure this was not my first enema, but the first I have a very strong memory of, I was probably 4 or 5.
I like everything about it, from the attention I was getting, the encouragement to take more, then exploding on the toilet. What was best, with mom was that enemas came in threes. A very soapy (Ivory) first enema then two rinses. Sometime there were more than three, if she gave me the rinse too soon and I couldn't hold it, or if there were still a lot of chunks in the third enema... but with that strong Ivory solution that wasn't often. I still marvel at how much of the Ivory I could hold!
I know mom was giving herself enemas, but I don;t think my dad knew, and I don;t think he had any idea how many I was getting.
I do remember one time when mom got carried away, and I just kept getting enema after enema, that was just one time and I always hoped it would happen again.
As I said mom would always talk to my grandmother or Mrs. Lindquist before I was given an enema, so I think it was to justify in her mind what she was going to do. And I learned that the "I have to go but I can't," having the sniffles, or just holding back would usually work.
Even though my grandmother was big on having mom give me enemas, I only remember one time getting one at her house,
When I was in second grade we moved to another town, and at the same time mom switched from the funnel and rectal tube to a Davol Petal Fountain Syringe. Even though mom stopped giving me enemas before I reached puberty I was still sneaking enemas with that bag when I was in High School. And I used that bag to give one of the neighbor girls an enema when I was probably 12 and she was 10,
Which begs the question.... how many here were able to give an enema to a friend or playmate... I have to say I had a bit of luck talking a few into trying one!
