Thin Man:I do prefer cold to hot; the cramps are more intense, and I can really really feel it going in.
I'll have to try the saline.
The closest hanging point for the enema bag is right about eyelevel for me, so i figure that's about two feet above where the nozzle goes in. If the pressure gets to be too much, I'll lower the bag until I can hold it in again, then raise it back up.
I've tried taking an enemawhile on my knees with my forehead resting on the floor of the bathtub, but that really gets uncomfortable, so I usually take it standing up. Also, from a standing position it's easier to reach the toilet when time comes to expel it.
GarrickBailey; actually, an expelled enema doesn't smell any worse than when the contents of the rectum comes out the regular way. After holding it in for an orgasm, when the contents come out it's pretty much pulverized by the muscular contractions in my abdomen and I flush immediately afterward, so it not only doesn't stink as much, I also don't have to worry about clogging the pipes.
Let me clarify something here; I'm not into scat. The whole purpose to self-administering an enema is to clean the rear hole out before I start playing. Some things, like the beer bottle, I don't have to worry about bacteria clinging to (I dispose of it immediately afterward and use a new empty one for each session) but the latex anal dildo and butt plugs do tend to retain bacteria and scent after a while. That's why I clean myself out back there.
Thank you both for your advice!
