I wonder how many young people here have been given enemas, for any reason. When I was growing up, most kids (myself included) were given enemas for just about any ailment.

Yes, it would be interesting to know that information, Brenda. They were as common as spanking back in my day. As was the case in many homes. It would be interesting to know more about your experiences.

I think they have a place, however, and I intend to utilize them in future mentoring situations.

I grew up in the 60s and 70s. I don't think my enema history is unusual for someone my age, particularly someone who grew up during that era in rural Idaho and Montana.

My mom had an enema bag and used it liberally. Everyone in the house was subject to enemas, except my dad. He could say "no" unlike the rest of us. If we were constipated (or mom thought we might be), she gave us an enema. If we had some other ailment, she would likely give us enema. The only excuse for staying home from school was illness, and doing so meant an obligatory enema.

Mom never gave us punishment enemas. We were lucky; I had a number of friends and cousins whose moms gave them punishment enemas or enemas purported to be for health reasons despite punitive overtones.

I have given enemas as a nurse and mom. As a mom, I gave them less frequently and for far fewer reasons than was common when I was growing up.

I never as a kid growing up at the same time period as Brenda and a bit earlier ("50's") understood the use of caster oil as a laxative. When it was said that some kid "needs a good does of caster oil" I thought that the punishment being suggested was just to have to drink something that tasted bad. I had no idea until much later in life that the real punishment was going to be the pressure to have a bowel movement sooner than later!

What did everyone else think? I suspect that literally every other kid knew what a dose would promote. I did know that Ex-Lax would make one have to go. There were lots of phony stories about the use of Ex-Lax to make pseudo-chocolate cakes and fudge but I don't think anyone ever really did it. I would have understood "What that kid needs is a good dose of Ex-Lax!" but I never heard it. It was always caster oil!

I may be spelling caster oil wrong. Is it castor oil?

Castor oil was popular back in my day. We never got any though. But around the neighborhood it has a reputation as a powerful laxative.

Thanks for the background. That seems very typical from my days growing up, although they were very infrequent. Curious up until what age did you and your siblings got them. I have other questions that might be better in private.

But cool... seems in your family today you carried forth the tradition, but adapted their use to be as you saw fit. Seems to be similar to how some families implement spanking... like they got, it but not exactly the same way.

My parents were a doctor and a nurse. We were never given enemas, castor oil or anything like that. I've always assumed that they didn't think it was healthy.
