Apparently, the Voyager Systems people took it down without notice. I emailed them for an explanation and got no reply.
We lost the Spanking and Rectal Temperature and Womens Enema, Douche, and Suppository boards the same way.
They got prudish either because someone complained or just an attitude change on their part.
I have been the moderator for the past 20 years, the original moderator has disappeared and does not answer emails, so these two remaining boards will likely be all that is left and may just be ended when I decide I no longer have time to visit them every day and delete all of the spam and inappropriate messages.

Thank you for the explanation. The forum just disappeared and will be missed. I thought it was a glitch and thought voy would fix it but apparently not. I happen to come across this one and saw your post.

Although a different subject area, all the 'non-sexual nudity' boards have been deleted as well.

They're cracking down on sexual things related to minors. And let's face it, most of what was posted there, and is posted here is fantasy; thus it's inappropriate when it involves children.

laskjdfh,
I’ll disagree with you. Yes, i do agree with VOY probably deleted “E&S” for sexual things related to minors but let’s face the reality that I disagree with you, the posts were not fantasy. Majority if not all the people who posted on that site received enemas as children anyway, i posted on “E&S” over 20 years and shared my upbringing on enemas as therapy for me. It was great to find others who had similar stories. I will say that close to the end of the forum, current stories were being posted of children receiving enemas in real time from parents who received enemas as children and are now giving enemas to their children. If that was the reason why the forum was taken down then free speech no longer exist. Many of those posts were for therapy reasons to allow the person who was posting to have a place to share their feelings and emotions.

Good news, bad news.
One of the good things about anonymous internet forums is one can be completely honest about their experiences, and probably find others with similar experiences.
One of the bad things is there's no accountability as to honesty.

I don't believe many of those posts. I don't think many people who had enemas as kids, which in this past generation were not many, continue to give enemas to their kids. Use of enemas is wayyy down. Use of suppositories is somewhat down.
Doctors rarely advise an enema anymore.

"Free speech" has never included freedom to post kiddy porn fantasy.
And free speech has to do with the government, not a private website like Voy.

Thanks for replying,
All i can say and speak on honestly are my posts. They were real and not fantasy. I was able to write and express my emotions and feelings and be able to experience healing through writing. Many of the others may have been make believe but my writings were not. You are right, it is easy to hide behind a computer screen and write anonymously with no accountability. Im actually surprised some of these voy forums are even allowed because some I have came across are very abusive writings toward children but all of it could be made up.

So sad that what started out as a free discussion forum (dealing with serious exchanges of ideas and personal experiences involving enemas) was slowly infiltrated and
finally hijacked by a variety of perverts and peadophiles!
I would agree that about 60% of the posts there were pure
fantasy, however I really believe (from the style of writing) that many others were genuine, especially those mothers who wrote in (genuinely concerned about the high cost of laxatives) and had kids with various potty problems.
My heart goes out to them and I tried to give useful advice where I could (based on experience with my own kids)
The use of enemas my be declining in the Western world, but in Africa, Asia and S.America there still seems to be a great demand for rubber bulbs,bags pumps and cans.
Maybe they have more old fashioned "common sense"?

Good comment!
I read a few of your comments.
You are right. Many thank you for giving useful advice.
Working part time in health food store I see more and more moms asking about the enema .
Many ask, and want to learn the coffee enema. Which is a good liver detoxing.
Often a mom ask if we sell the enema bulb. They are tired of buying expensive over the counter junk, giving harsh laxatives, Tylenol and so on.
Growing up in the 50s and 60s I remember the was given in most homes by moms.
My mom and aunt (nurse) gave enemas when needed.
I believe my health is better than most my age. Cause of getting enemas, good diet, no junk food and so on.
The enema was a bulb syringe enema. Given most of the time on a table. When younger was given across the lap way.
I given many enemas in my home and other homes.
In my 70s now…still teaching moms the benefits of the enema for the child.

Recently a single divorced mom was in the store asking about the enema. She had her 5 yo b in tow. She told me she wanted to give him an enema . I told her about the bulb, herbal enemas, even the old fashioned mild warm soapy water enema. She brought a 8 oz syringe and a bar of Made For Enema Soap.
I told her to call or visit if she had questions or needed help.
We have talked a few times. She told me gave him an enema and was thankful for my help.
And was going to give one when needed or at least once a month enema.
Hugs
And blessings

Debby, you are right. The enema declined. Some say that’s due to a few reasons. Big Pharma pushing pills. If the mother gives an enema with the bulb, it can be used over and over. She only had to pay for the initial cost. Pills, laxatives and such are expensive. Seen the cost of over the counter junk lately?

Growing up an enema (mostly given on a table with the bulb) was given for helping with colds, flu, fever reduction..the constipated child.
Once a month the enema was given — regardless.

When the child was fussy, moody, fighting, crying for no reason..he was told he was going to get an enema.

Being 7 years older than my cousin I remember my cousin getting an enema when like that!
My aunt got the bulb out and gave him an enema on the table.

Always amazed me seeing his behavior change after he got an enema.

You are right about other countries Debby.
On a trip to Central America a few years ago to visit a friend, I remember her giving her two boys an enema.

It was no big deal. I saw the enema displayed in drug stores.

Carol A,
I can relate to your cousin who got the enema at 7 regarding fussy or moody behavior, mom called it grumpiness. I received enemas for that as well. After a good unless fight going over her lap and being cleaned out, i was wore out, tired, exhausted and empty, always nap time after an enema.

Debby, when talking with a mom about giving enemas… here are a few books/pages that may help:
-Prescription For Nutritional Healing. Every mom should have it in the home. Has instructions for preparing various enemas… herbal , lemon and other
-Back To Eden. Very good book . Good information about the enema
-The ABC Herbal Book. Very good enema instructions.

Page: optimalhealthneteork.com. Kristina and DeeDee there are great.

I have a few other …but, don’t want to over do it.

I also given useful advice…to help mostly the younger moms who want to learn this beneficial home healing tool.how to prepare the room, where best to give it, preparing the patient, preparing table or bed, what else needed (towel, Vaseline, thermometer…), how to relax the patient, types of enemas (like herbal enemas) mild soapy enema…) for different ills, cleaning the device, giving the enema, rest afterwards, and more.
I was given bulb enemas growing up. I gave my two bulb enemas.


AV: yes, when the child fighting, moody, crying, sluggish, not eating right, giving him an enema helps. Especially during die off.

Thanks for those kind words Carol (and the info)
As I mentioned in one of my posts long ago,if you need to enema an older child (eg: over the age of 5) then I really believe the Higginson Pump is the nicest kindest way to go.
My kids told me they preferred getting enemaed in small doses cause it was easier to take, and thats just what the gentle pumping action provided. I still have one that belonged to my late mother (in perfect working order) very high quality with some kind of fabric woven into the rubber to prevent it from splitting. I don't think they make em like that anymore.
Unfortunately it seems those pumps are not easily available
except on-line ?

Debby, where did you buy yours at? The higginson syringe.

When I travel to Europe it is nice to know the enema is still given in the home.

Years ago the enema bulb was displayed in the store window. I saw them displayed in France, Spain and Germany.

They are hardly ever displayed now days. But still sold in the stores.

Debby, good comments made by you.

Yes giving the older child (over 5 or so) an enema with the Higginson syringe is much less traumatic tha giving the enema with the bucket or bag.

Growing up, and in my later years, saw mothers who were using the bulb syringe for giving him an enema.
Then one day she would bring the enema bag into the room , or have it hanging up. What a big change that was!

I saw this with my younger cousin and others. No introduction, slowly,to the bag from the small enema bulb.

It is, as you told, easier to take, and administer, the enema using the higginsion syringe.

Recently talked with a mom. She uses the higginson syringe for giving and taking enemas. She told me her two take the enema much better now.

Better hang on to the one you have. Sounds like good quality. Will be hard to find that one again!
You can buy them on line. A good source is from OHN.


She let me squeeze the in line bulb on it. Filled up kitchen sink with warm soapy water. Was easy squeezing the bulb. Can give easier enema.

Her oldest one used to fight, fussy and carry on when she gave him an enema. Since using to higginson syringe there is no more resisting the enema session.


I will be getting one!

Debby, haven’t seen you on in a while. Hope all is ok.

Hope you come back and read on here. Leave comments again.

Been looking for a higginson syringe for my home. For my enemas and giving enemas to my two.
Agree with you, giving an enema to one over five it’s a good option to use .

Using a 6 oz enema bulb syringe for giving my two enemas now. I will buy a 8 oz syringe next year.

After reading your comment, and doing some research, I would like to start using the higginson syringe. But can only find on line. Wonder about the quality.

Where did you buy your higginson syringe at?

When you administer enemas with it do you give the enema on a table, bed, or across your lap way?

Cause wondering where you put the pan of enema solution at when giving the enema with it.

From what I read on line the solution is put in a pan or large bowl.
One end of the hose is placed into the solution.
Then the nozzle end is inserted into the patient. Then the mid line bulb is squeezed. Removing air before giving the enema.

The bulb enema is now given on a table or across my lap way.

Sue N,

The Higginson Syringe is no longer available in most, if not all, retail stores. The online option may be about your only way to obtain one. They are not all that spendy on EBAY, Amazon, or possibly TEMU.

While most of the Higginson style have relatively short hoses, additional tubing can be attached along with the various different style nozzles or colon tubes. This would allow the source of the enema solution to be placed in a more convenient location and may help avoid spills. I attach mine inline with a combination syringe (hot water bottle) and don't worry about inadvertent spillage, especially if your patient may be inclined to move about or resist.

Some of us around here are very experienced with enemas and are willing to mentor, assist, or coach others who may have questions. I will reply to emails should you desire any further info.

Best wishes to all of you who frequent these sites!

Debbie, sorry I missed your comment.
I think the higginson syringe is only sold on line now. Haven’t seen one in drugstore in years. In my early 70s now.

Last time I saw one used was years ago. When I was visiting a friend in Germany. She gave her two enemas with it. I should’ve gotten one then…but didn’t. She would prepare a pan of mild soapy water. Place it on the table. The one getting the enema was laying on the table. Was interesting seeing her squeeze the bulb (it is mid line on the hose).
It was very gentle. She held the nozzle in with one hand and squeezed the small bulb with the other hand.

I asked about it. She gave me two enema sessions with it. Laying on the bed on my side. Very gentle.

You can buy one at OHN. Optimalhealthnetwork.com

I suppose that this is one of the few discussion forums where enemas are a topic of active discussion. I recognize a few of the posters that have been active on other sites, and am glad some have gravitated to other forums such as this.

Carol A has posted some very insightful thoughts and recommendations. In my household growing up, enemas were a common treatment for a variety of issues. Our family pediatrician made house calls, and the question always posed about our bowel activity, and then a suggestion that we kids be given enemas to assure regular BM's.

On top of that, the adult's family doctor, and his nurse, also were proponents of the efficacy of enemas for mom and dad. I discovered their thoughts as I got into my teen years and saw the adult's doctor rather than the pediatrician who had retired.

The 50's, 60's, and 70's were forefront in my upbringing and maturation. I'm sure that is why I continue to use enemas as an older adult. I'm intrigued by the experiences of those who grew up in similar households and times. Coffee enemas seem to be the latest thing in maintaining a healthy existence.

I recall fantasizing a bit when Mommy syringed me during my pre-teen years and wondering (as the warm suds went in) how many other kids around the world might also be getting enemas at that very moment, and if maybe they were getting the same crazy feelings in their butts & bellies as I was!

Debby, I also thought the same way.
My mom, and aunt, were believers in giving an enema for most anything.

I used to think the same. When getting a bulb enema on the table, wondered if I was the only one getting an enema or was some other kid also getting an enema.

As I got older I would snoop. And discover I wasn’t alone in getting enemas. This was in the late 50s and 60s.

I wondered how they felt getting the enema.
Few times I remember my friends mom telling her younger brother she was going to give him an enema.
Once it was all prepared she came and got him.
Was exciting in a way knowing he was going to be given an enema by her.

Never saw him getting it. But knew what he was in store for.

Blessings for all.

To be sure, I didn’t mean any offense or getting weird when told I wondered the same as you did Debby.

One would think it is, was, normal feelings, most likely, for a child to wonder if they are the only one who was getting an enema, or got syringed , by their mom or aunt.

Did your mom use the bulb or higginson syringe to give enemas Debby?

For some of us, in childhood, it wasn't "wondering whether" other kids (outside the extended family) were going through the same thing, it was shock at the fact other kids either weren't, or weren't prepared to admit it - and bewilderment/anger at being told it was socially unacceptable to even raise the issue.

Hi Sue & Carol A. Thanks for your comments.
I have only happy memories of my childhood encounters with the Higginson and I thought Id share some with you.
I guess you could say I 'graduated' from the bulb to the pump sometime after age 6. It was a welcome change since I didnt like multiple insertions (I think most girls dont).
I recall Mommy explaining to me how this rather strange looking object functioned shortly after she bought it and looking in awe at the black trade mark embossed on the dark red rubber "PERFEX ENEMA - WARANTED NOT TO SPLIT".
She told me she would be using it in future for all my enemas and promised it would make things a lot easier.
And so it was. If I was sick and off school I would get it in bed laying on a rubber sheet with my knees drawn up and my bottom over the edge. On other occasions she would syringe me in the bathroom down in the knee-chest position.
She would usually prepare a jug of foaming warm ivory soap suds sometimes adding a few drops of castor oil or glycerine
to the mix.

She always used her pump on me with the utmost TLC like she fully understood my thoughts and fears. My bottom would get a thorough lubing first and then I would feel the stubby black nozzle slipping between my butt cheeks and pressing gently against my anus.
For a short while nothing more happened (like she was getting me used to it) That short moment of anticipation always reminded me of waiting for a plane to take off - like y'know when its powering up on the runway...
Then she would say "Relax Dear, relax!" and it would start moving slowly forward and then rapidly UP & IN!!
That nozzle always felt warm and comfotable inside me,very smooth and correctly shaped to prevent it slipping out.
(I think kids often fear this kind of 'accident' during enemas and I found it re-assuring when she pressed my cheeks together with her one hand while she pumped with the other)
She would then tell me to take a deep breath, and as I did so I felt the first dose of warm suds goin in.
I soon realized that she wanted to get my breathing in sync with the action of the pump, which not only made my enema easier to take but me feel like I was actually helping in the whole process, rather than having it forced into me.
Things usually went very well,but if I complained of any cramping she would stop pumping and give me a gentle belly rub until my bowel had settled down and then continue.
She never gave me more volume than I could comfortably accomodate. She would then help me onto the toilet, remove the nozzle and encourage me to try and retain for as long as possible and not to force it out but "just go when you feel the urge". She would then leave me to expell in private saying I should call her if I couldnt cope.
I dont think I ever did, though I discovered on my own that deep breathing made the expulsion a lot easier.

I soon got to love that old pump and didnt want my enemas any other way.When one of Mommy's friends suggest she get a
bag for me I wouldnt hear of it!
Needless to say in later years I used the Higgy and her technique on my own kids very effectively.
I do realize that these pumps (especially good quality ones)
are hard to find except on-line nowadays.
During a trip to Toronto,I was able to buy one for my eldest daughter. She took it with her when she went off to College
and was very glad to have it for those difficult times of the month. However that was many years ago.
Bless you both. Hope to write again when I get the time.
Love Debby

Debby, loved your reply. Interesting about her using the Higginson syringe on you.

Did she ever use the enema bulb syringe?

Years ago I knew a mom who had a higginson syringe. She swore by it.
Agree with you, it seems to be much gentler than other enema devices.

When staying with her for a few weeks she gave her oldest one an enema with it. He was about 7 or so. He wasn’t feeling well. Hadn’t gone and had slight fever.

She put a rubber sheet on the bed. Towel on the rubber sheet.
I enjoyed talking with her as I helped her prepare. She prepared a pan of mild warm soapy water.

She sat bedside as she gave him the enema. I found it interesting to see the water level going down with each squeeze.

She told him to relax and breathe deep breath when he was getting it.

She had me squeeze the in line bulb a few times. Slowly squeezing the bulb I knew he was getting an enema.

He didn’t complain when getting it. She took him to expell.

While cleaning the bed and the syringe we talked.

I wanted to get one. But never did.

The next morning he stayed home from school. She gave him another enema on the bed with it.

Do you still use it?

How did you help other moms out? Did you teach them how to give enemas?

I taught a few moms. Of course the one she selected to be the patient wasn’t overly happy knowing he was going to get an enema.

Blessings

Dear Debby,Thanks so much for sharing those precious childhood memories with us,especially your beautiful word pictures.
Explicit, but never gross.
Yes...I can identify with so much of what you wrote especialy your beautiful description of the moment of insertion.
"The anticipation of the nozzle, etc"
How well i recall those intimate bonding moments over my late mother's knee in the bathroom!
So many wierd & wonderful feelings back then (when our bottoms were far more tender and sensitive)
I think I know what you're trying to say though I just dont have the words to say it. I got quite emotional just reading your story.
Love Chloe
