In addition to our anal douching infographic and article about anal douching safety for gay men, we present the results of our anal douching survey. We askedβyou answered. First, a few notes about the survey. We posted this anonymous questionnaire to a convenient sample of people in our networks.
By no means is this survey representative of our entire community or San Francisco. In other words, our survey results suffer from response bias. A total of people took the survey. There were about six different types of reasons that people gave for why they prefer it when their partners douche.
In no particular order, people prefer it when partners douche becauseβ¦. Here are the reasons they said why. All you need is a good bowel movement, and all will be fine. We asked bottoms who douche the same question. Why do you douche? Their responses were similarβbut not the sameβas the reasons given about why people prefer it when partners douche.
There were about 13 different types of reasons given. People said that they douche becauseβ¦. Other people said they use Fleet enemas, an enema bag, or a water bottle. Most people said they use water. A handful reported using a saline mix, and some said they mixed another agent with water e. Note: mixing anything into water besides a little bit of salt used for an enema is NOT recommended.
The community stepped up with some great advice for first-time douchers. By far the most commonly cited piece of advice was to be careful and take your time.
