Anal douches or enemas are used to clean out the rectum and, if extensive, the colon. Liquid, commonly lukewarm water, is introduced using an enema squeeze ball, an enema bag or bottle, or from attachments to bathroom hoses. Douching is used:
- as treatment for medical conditions such as constipation;
- to administer certain medicinal and alternative health therapies;
- to administer recreational drugs;
- as a part of foreplay or in BDSM;
- to be cleaner when fucking, fisting or general arse play;
- just for the sensation of liquid flowing into the rectum.
The protective barriers of the gut restore themselves relatively rapidly. Plan douching to allow two hours before sex and avoid touch-ups just before or during play.
Daily douching can interfere with the natural function of the bowel, creating a dependency on them or a need for laxatives for bowel function. Probiotics such as Acidophilus – in yoghurt or in capsules from health food stores - restore digestive bacteria to the gut and help to reduce and prevent these symptoms.
Most importantly, use plenty of lube to minimise the risk of cuts and abrasions from inserting nozzles or hoses into the arse. In some cases, due to water pressure, where the taps are not sufficient to regulate pressure (gravity fed hot water with pressure fed cold), you might need a flow regulator to guard against damage to the intestinal walls. Finally, do not share douching equipment or enema solutions with others.
