Large Volume Enemas

One poster here asked, "Why 4 quarts?"

For me, at least, the point is not a specific quantity. Rather, it is about being filled to the point where everything else disappears, if you will.

I could write forever on this but here is a summary from my point of view: A major appeal of enemas for me is that the experience is so stimulating that it causes everything else in your body, emotions, mind, and spirit to let go.

Enemas can produce profound physical pleasure. That is all most care about. There is another dimension, and that is what I find useful in large enemas.

Enemas can produce a sweeping multidimensional transformation that may or may not directly involve sexuality. A very large enema often produces this sort of effect; some skilled colonics people are trying to produce such an experience by urging their clients to take more and more water.

My observation has been that at some point in a very large colonic or enema that one's neurology, physiology, and emotions can collapse into a unified state of surrender and often emotional conflicts fly out the window. This surrendered state, if you will, doesn't always occur, of course. And, enemas aren't the only way to accomplish this but they are a good way, at least from my perspective.

A large enema is one of the shortest paths that I have found to reaching this state. It is not so much about a certain volume of water but is rather about being safely filled to capacity.

I think that the reason that more than one form of mind/body spirituality advocates some sort of enema.

I usually try to get 4 qts in, usually not successful though. I almost always need to be standing and otherwise distracted. I like to see my swollen belly in the mirror.

I start out with a Clear water enema first and eleminate on the toilet. Then move to a nice warm-hot Soapy enema and again eleminate on the toilet. Next I move to the bath tub and repeat the soapy enema where I can really give it a good hold. There you can't miss and make a mess on the floor. After this I fill a clear bag and add salt again in the tub, along with a 3/8 tube I made up and attach it to the bathroom sink faucet. This can be done before getting into the tub so you have the right temp. and flow. This makes for a nice final clean out. There isn't too much pressure because you are in charge. When you feel full just expel the water.

It seems obvious to me we all enjoy getting full, some of us fuller than others and I think that is fine. If we want to turn things into a challenge, we must realize that the only ones we can challenge are ourselves. I used to just only be able to take the 2 quart bag, like most of you and "grew" to more volume. Sometimes pushing for volume takes away the reason we are tubing up... to enjoy the warmth ( or the coolness), the relaxation, and the fullness.

Pfft who uses enema bags anymore😉 hehe, i just stick a shower shot nozzle up there and let it fill till i'm fairly distended, i would guess i'm easily doing 4+ quarts. One of these days i'll actually measure how much i can take😉

I have been able to hold up to four quarts at one time. I am able to do this with slow insertion of water, lying down, and usually with help from some one so I do no ned to stand up. It allows for great pleasure and more complete evacuation.

I took a class and became certified as a colon hydrotherapist many years ago. One of the things I had learned in the class was that the capacity of the large intestine is about two quarts.

Any more than that, and you are taking water up into the small intestine, which we were told wasn't the best idea. In fact, we were taught a maneuver to close the ileocecal valve just for the purpose of preventing water from going up into the small intestine. One of the side effects 'that I remember' was a feeling of nausea associated with water getting into the small intestine.

I would have to 'hit the old books', and classroom material to read up on it again, but for those that can take 4 quarts without any side effects, more power to you! I've long heard about taking 4 quarts, and in fact witnessed a demonstration of that, but I can't see me even attempting that much!

I find a couple 2 quart enemas plenty to clean out the large intestine, which is my end goal, as I do enjoy anal play, and want to be cleaned out for that.

I have found that once I get a good cleaning out, I usually stay 'clean' for about 12 hours. Although I have recently been finding that the process is taking me longer and longer to complete. Not so much taking the water in, but it's sure seems like it's taking a long time to come out!

Almost seems like there are pockets of water that stay in me, sometimes I can feel it, sometimes I don't. Needless to say, sometimes I get that false sense of security of being totally cleaned out, then maybe an hour or two later, (sometimes even longer), I'm making a 'dash' for a bathroom!

Not a good thing when thinking you're totally cleaned out, and are later engaged in some 'other' anal activities!

If anyone else has experienced this, has had it happened to them, and have come up with any remedies to this, I would certainly appreciate contacting me by e-mail. I don't visit the forums very often... In fact a total newbie here! By the way, I'm 54 years old now.

I have a 4 quart bag and tried a large volume enema but unable to

to hold it.

Since then I have stayed with several 2 quart enemas per session.

I have never done more than 4 quarts and that sure is enough for me. I don't really understand the fun of pumping so much in that you throw up. what am I missing here? Maybe I'm just not into the punishment side of enemas but more into the fun side.

I have devised my own home colonic system. This is how I do it. I use an attachment that I've made that hooks up to the bathroom faucet. I place a small bench seat (vanity bench) length wise in front of the toilet. I set the water temperature and pressure. Lube the douche nozzle with vaseline and insert it, then attach the attachment to the sink faucet and lay back on the bench with my bottom hanging over the toilet and fill. When I get full and can't hold any more I release into the toilet and continue filling and releasing until I feel cleaned out. It works great for me.

I like to do really long sessions. One of the best parts/reasons for doing it is when I'm really clean and I can rush the water in and out!

Largest enema can be dangerous. There is no a limit of amount. Probably the best limit is when the receiver feel intense pain. The intestine is elastic but its resistence may be different intersubject and still in the same subjet when the feces containing or the age is high. Colon rupture is a very serious complication and cases has been described in the medical literature with no very largest enemas.

I have never taken an enema over 3 qts. and much prefer a good 2 qt. enema. To each his own but I have never seen what people like about taking extremely large quantities. If I thought it would make my orgasms stronger I might want to experiment but, truthfully, I can have a very intense orgasm with a small 1 qt. enema. Of course my enemas are for sexual pleasure and the quantity is pretty unimportant. It's feeling the enema going in and the pleasure that you get from all aspects of the enema that are so sexually stimulating to me.

Sometimes I have no problems, the water goes in easily and I can take 2 to 4 quarts, then do it several times over.

Sometimes though, I get about a pint or so in, have to void, and then nothing seems to help me. I've tried different positions, different nozzles, different temperatures. Some days it just plain doesn't work.

Does anyone have hints on what to do to get past that peristaltic reaction?

With all things being equal (same solution, etc) I would have to say, try again another day.

Something similar happened to me a few weeks back. I was trying a new soap and nozzle. My body decided it had better things to do than for me to pump fluid up my butt, so I hung it up and tried again a few days later, with no problems.

Then again, maybe you're impacted. 😁

Better luck in the future.

The only reasons I can come up with as to why one could not take much solution during an enema is the colon is probably is impacted or there is trapped gas in the system.If I had the same problem,I would use two tablespoons of olive oil w/16oz water for an enema,hold for 15min to soften the waist matter,then expell.Take a second enema with a little Ivory soap in 1.5qt,hold for 10min then expell.The idea is to gradually clean out the colon before attempting a large volume enema.Give it a try.Let the good times flow. w/m72yrs/W.MA

I've found that if I take it nice and slow, I can retain the solution much longer. I just recently discovered how pleasureable a slow fill while sitting in a nice warm bath can be.

On the other hand, when pressed for time, a fast fill usually means very little retention time and a fast empty.

Quite a few years ago, now, I discovered that an ounce or two of glycerine added to an enema usually produced a peristaltic reaction that went all the way back to the cecum (the "top" of the colon, so to speak). This formula also tended to produce a "hollow, cleaned out" sensation in the abdomen, similar to some of the few professionally-administered colonics I've had.

As a final enhancement, when I'm doing an enema for reasons of personal hygiene. I will usually inject only a pint or so of solution and expel at the first urge; that way, the oldest material in the bowel is not pushed back upward. I then follow up with a full bag of glycerine-based solution. Following the glycerine with a load of mild soapsuds is also an option, but I'd be a little wary of this since much if the mucous membrane that normally coats the interior of the colon has already been washed out.

After a 2 quart initial clean-out, I go for 4 qt on the next one or two. Still seeking the best positions to receive the last qt or so. Vertical (standing up) is alleged to allow more holding ability but sometimes the back pressure makes it hard to keep the regular nozzle in.

Quickies can be fun, but like Lil said above, 'fast fill, fast empty'.

I find slow fills -- plus/minus 7-10mins -- to be most comfortable and effective. The only time I might vary from this is if I'm rushed for time.

Pretty much 3 quarts is my max at one time, though the actual therapy for the pain management requires six gallons total.

My usual enema is in the neighborhood of 3 quarts, but on occasion and as the last enema of a series, I'll go for 4 quarts (and usually make it too!). But 4 quarts is my all time maximum.

I like a nice long slow fill. As another poster on another board was accustomed to saying, "it's not a race, it's an enema". I took her motto to heart and enjoy all the sensations that come from a well administered enema.

But, if pressed for time, I can do a pretty quick fill and release, but it is not nearly as much fun...and offers little time for some self lovin'!

I sometimes find that a slow enema hinders me from taking the full amount. However, having said that, I normally enjoy slow better; since enemas are therapeutic as well as erotic for me, I do try to get the best cleanout I can each time.

I agree with the, "Its not a race, its an enema" statement. It's almost my mantra.

I've taken and held 6 liters several times. I took it very slowly and held it for about ten minutes. You have to watch out for electrolyte balance. About 1 teaspoon of salt (with potassium iodide) is the right amount. Your body seems to accept that well.

I have a 4 quart bag but cannot take more than 2 quarts. Actually, when the bag is almost empty (2 quarts), I get cramps and can last only for a minute or two before expelling. Have tried starting on the left side, laying on my back, then right side but still only two quarts.

In the old days, there was so much bullshit in the medical journals it was shameful. A great deal of writing was done to benefit the writer (doctor-if you could even call half of them that deserving title then). They really were charlatans. Nothing was refereed, anyone could write anything and it was accepted as truth. It is a lot different today. You keep writing things about massive enemas in your posts and giving such generic and unsupportable references that they become nothing more than anecdotal statements. I don't have the time to go back over past posts to get references you used, but references like "a colon therapist" "patient John Doe told me" and others of similar unsubstantial verity. Even the century old Merck manual had a lot of bullshit in it.

I don't doubt that there are a VERY (make that EXTREMELY) small number of people (mostly enema enthusiasts) that have the ability to take in 4-8 quart enemas, but that isn't something that people should be trying to do. Don't you have anything to offer besides tempting people to instill great volumes of water into their colons that could cause real injury?

SwitchableSusie makes a great point. I am a bit above average for a woman A(5'9" and around 145 lbs) and the most I ever took in was 3 qts just to see if I could. and just once). That was after a prior enema of 1-1.5 qts to clean out my rectum. I just don't see the point in trying to take huge volumes. If you want to get completely cleaned out a series of smaller ones seems to be a much more reasonable approach. If you like cramps (I don't) or punishment you can go for strong soap or lemon or something. I prefer plain old tap water. I want my enemas to be fun and erotic - not for setting records.

Yesterday I received my 4 qt bag from Beth Tyler. And of course I filled it up and let if flow. After a few small clean outs I was curios to know how much I could take. I filled my 4 qt bag with pure tap water a laid down on my left side (my most comfy accepting position) and didnt really pay attention to how much I was taking. After about 5 mins of laying there I started to feel quite full. I shut my valve off and just relaxed. I was able to take a little more but ended up stopping soon after. After it was all said and done I took a little more that half from the bag. I figured I absorbed some, so I would estimate that there was about 2 qts in my bowels and that was enough. Oh and Im 5'8 150ish.

It felt like evacuated for an hour but it was really only about 15 mins.

Large volume isn't what I was after I was just curious how much I could take and still have fun.

2 gallons wouldn't be fun at all. If you ask me. And I do this because I like it not as a punishment.

Evidently, you are "one of the few..." That's great capacity. I have taken a full gallon on occasion, but my capacity seems to vary quite a bit. Recently 2-3.5 qts. has been plenty. A question for you, though:

Were you ever diagnosed with "megacolon" when you were younger (or now, for that matter)?

Megacolon is an interesting problem, and happens mostly to young children.
