thank you for the advice, but that's actually the problem i'm having.... i registered on JAMA so i could read some of the articles... found PLENTY on medical enemas... but nothing on plain water enemas administered daily for cleanlinesss purposes. i'm certain there is something out there, someone had to have researched it at some point, i just can't find it. that's why i posted the other site, i figured since this is not a "medical" issue that a website on homeopathic cures having a warning would be good enough. but apparently not... so the next step for me was to find a place where i could pose a direct question to a doctor. to go beyond that, aside from paying for a visit to my personal doctor, i'm not sure where else to look. i did get a reply on webmd... which i will post because it "seems" like good information, although i have no way of verifying whether this person is a "real" doctor or not. The main health concern with daily enemas is that with such use, the body soon becomes dependent on the use of such. Food/waste moves through the GI tract through a series of wave like motions, called peristalsis. The muscles along the gut relax and constrict to move food along and eventually, to eliminate solid waste through a bowel movement. Enemas work by irritating nerve endings in the colon, causing evacuation of this area. As with any muscle in the body, one "loses" it if they don't "use" it regularly. The constant use of enemas causes these muscles to become "lazy" and lose tone with the unpleasant result that once enema usage is stopped, problems with constipation, bloating and impaction can occur. Your friend does not need an enema to be clean for anal intercourse. A high fiber diet, fluids and a trip to the bathroom for a bowel movement before engaging in anal sex will "clean out" the rectum which is the only part of the body the penis is in contact with during this activity. That is the best i could do.... if anyone cares to continue searching please do, i would certainly be interested in seeing real medical research on this topic. I just can't find anymore ways to get information. Sorry if i annoyed anyone, hopefully my efforts helped at least one person (the OP) in her quest for answers... if not i'm sorry i couldn't help more. respectfully submitted
