How can one be anally clean without constantly using enemas?
January 20, 2008
You've already covered this before in some depth in your "All About Bottoming" column, but I have some additional questions about prepping for anal sex.
When it comes to enemas, how much is too much? I'm in my early 30s (out since my late teens), but it's taken me a long, long time to get into enjoying anal sex (exclusively bottom) because of my hangup on the cleanliness factor. I'm not dating anyone steadily, but since I've learned to enjoy being fucked within the past few years, the casual sex I've had always goes off without a hitch because I've discovered the benefits of cleaning out thoroughly beforehand.
I'm concerned, however, about what happens when I find a steady boyfriend/lover. I don't want to be anything but squeaky-clean for that special guy, but it would seem to me that heading to the crapper each and every time before I get plowed would not only be less than spontaneous, but also possibly unhealthy--the research I've found on the 'Net says using enemas overzealously can dry out and severely irritate your rectal tissue.
I know in your business, you always put your best foot (or whatever) forward. But how do you handle "the issue" in your private sex life with your partner? Do you always clean up first before you get fucked, or do you play it by ear? I have good friends who've never used an enema and say they've never had an untoward event happen while bottoming--"you just *know* when you're clean," they tell me. I don't trust my luck, though.
So there lies my dilemma: I want to be the cleanest bottom I can be, yet I don't want to risk harming my health or take the spontaneity out of my sex life. Maybe I'm just neurotic and making too big a deal out of this (I know, pooping is a natural bodily function, etc.), but I'd be absolutely mortified if I gave Mr. Right an unexpected surprise.

Bad news for you friend. If you're human, sooner or later you're going to have an off-day and your partner is going to be a bit disgusted with the surprise. Fortunately the consequences aren't as bad as you may think. If it's Mr. Right you're playing with, he'll understand that it happens and that it's not big deal. And if it's Mr. Right-Now you're with... well, who cares what he thinks? He'll be history in a week anyway.
Still, I can see why you want to use enemas as effectively as possible. That goes right into your first question, how much is too much? I don't have a specific answer for you, as I don't think anyone has ever conducted a scientific study to determine if half or a full-pint is better. And does it make any difference if you jump up and down with the water still inside you?
Seriously though, go to a drugstore and pick up a disposable Fleet enema. If you're putting more than that amount of liquid inside you, it's too much. I don't mean that much liquid six times in a row, either. You get one disposable enema bottle per day maximum. If that doesn't do the trick then think of something else to do instead of having a guy's dick up your ass. Ideally you shouldn't even need the whole bottle.
In my own personal life, I almost never use enemas. I use diet, soap, and water to make myself clean enough for anal sex. I then use timing for maximum effect. If I'm not feeling 100% clean down there, I wait a few hours before I have anal sex. Your rectum naturally pulls out water out of anything within it. So being messy inside you will solve itself to some extent if you wait a few hours. Provided you didn't stuff your face too badly the day before, that is.
Always remember that enemas are just to clean up any small bits of residue that may be there. Not to use to mop the floors of the Augean Stables of your butt (how's that for a metaphor, you Greek mythology fans). If a single disposable enema bottle doesn't do the trick, then you're going to have to try a different solution such as changing your diet.
