How can I avoid dirty water an hour after an enema?

January 21, 2008
I use a hose that is attached to the bathtub faucet to clean my anal cavity out. I always see comments about making sure you get the water out. I always sit on the toilet & push the water out. But sometimes an hour later I'm still passing "dirty" water.—Anonymous
Whenever you give yourself an enema, remember the old expression "what goes up must come down." All that water you shove up your ass eventually pours back out. Most of it does immediately, but some of it comes back down after an hour or so of sitting in your intestines. By that point the water is pretty foul and unpleasant to behold. Not to mention a serious distraction to otherwise good sex. The solution? Don't pour so much water up there! Then wait an hour or two before sex so that the water is absorbed into your system.

Or better yet, use your hose for personal use but not when prepping for sex. Buy a disposable enema, then use only half of it. If that doesn't do the trick then you will be better off making changes to your diet instead.—Aaron Lawrence
