Enemas
/ 0 / April 29 2016

Before having anal sex, it is common to use an enema bulb. Enemas are used to feel cleaner and to prevent the need or urge of having to go to the bathroom during anal sex. An enema is fluid that you inject into your anus in order to clean it out. Ideally, this should be done an hour or more prior to anal sex. This is so that the water doesn’t come out all at once; having wet, messy anal isn’t fun.

You can get enemas at your local drugstore, but remember to get an enema that’s made for anal douching. Douching can be a great way to clean things out before sex. However, you should limit yourself to doing it a few times a week. This is because it can cause irritation to the colon wall if used too frequently and can also make you on it, which will make going to the bathroom naturally more difficult.

Some tips from Sasha Grey:

  • Lie on the ground with your bottom in the air (like a pile driver position).
  • Use lukewarm water, as cold is more likely to induce cramping.
  • Accept that there will be some spillage, so start near a toilet, with towels and tissue paper nearby.
  • Use lube for the enema, since the plastic can be rough on the edges.
  • Squeeze after inserting the tip, but don’t release the squeeze until after the tip is out again; otherwise, the release will suction the (unclean) water back into the bulb.
  • It might take a few tries to get all the water in.
  • Wait a while (preferably several minutes) before releasing the water, but do so on the toilet, since you might leak.
  • Rinse and repeat until the water is clean.
  • If you use a non-disposable bulb (my preference), then clean it out and dry it out very thoroughly after each use.
