How often (or frequently) do you douche?

[PhoenixTriad]

When we bottom, we douche.  We don't care for the brown.  I further take a couple of immodium when I bottom.  It keeps the intestines quiet until the next morning.

I take fiber and pro-biotics daily.  If I'm bottoming, I douche. If I think I may bottom, I douche.  Sometimes, I douche and don't get fucked. :-(   At the end my process, I usually play with a couple of dildos - an average one and a big one. This helps to make sure I'm ready and it opens m my hole up a bit.  After my shower, I'll slip a bit of lube up inside me (I use a lube shooter to get it deep inside me).  I seldom have any issues.  If you STAY ready, you don't have to GET ready.  I've never had an issue with cleaning out too much/often/deep.  I tend to practice aftercare too. If I've ben used hard, I use som salve on my hole before i go to sleep, which helps with small tears and moisturizes the skin.

As a bottom I understand my body enough and level of cleanliness to have spontaneous sex without douching. I use a bulb once or twice for an imminent fuck and an 18" shower attachment hose for long sessions, group sex, gangbangs and fisting. 

I've been douching for decades anything from once a week to every day. On average 1 - 3  deep cleans for 1 -  2 hours and the same for a shallow clean that takes me 5 - 10 mins. I always check for cleanliness and trapped water with my fingers or 18" dildos afterwards so have never had any mishaps. If I'm intending to do a shallow clean I accidentally fill my hole up with to much water that it goes beyond my 2nd hole I know that I have no choice but to do a deep clean.   I've never had any serious consequences for over douching even when I was  deep cleaning every day.  Occasionally I'd notice that my rectum became too lazy to push one out when I needed to poo  but is that from too much douching, to much fucking or both?

As a top there was one time  a guy farted  loudly whle riding my cock. Nothing unusual there, he was embarrassed but it felt so good on my cock  and the sensation made me laugh making my 8" cock balls deep in his hole  jolt. I held onto his hips and fucked him hard while he uncontrollably farted.  Within a few thrusts brown water forcibly gushed out of his hole. It wasn't great  but after a clean up and a shower I knew his hole was now clean and bred 3 loads in him .

 

Agreed - using fingers and an 18” dildo helps ensure no water is trapped. Ising the dildo helps get the lube spread good as well as deep incase that first fuck wants to plunge in and be rough.

 I'm always prelubed before a hook up and on a night put just in case 🤪

I like to make sure I am completely clean downstairs when I'm getting my guts rearranged. I used to play with this one bottom who rarely douched and I would inevitably end up with a mess everywhere. Not very appealing. I know it accidents happen on occasion, but knowing that you are clean makes fucking so much more enjoyable.

Believe it or not, intestinal flora is beneficial to one’s digestive system. Douching can destroy the gut microbiome. That said, I find it very uncomfortable physically and olfactoriaely to be bonked without a thorough douche. These days, strangely, I am finding more guys wanting me to top. So, it’s rare that I douche, but if  hook up with a top on BBRTS, yeah I douche. It’s kinda rude not to to. 

I think you've summed up what others are saying very well. For me I am trying to better understand the consequences of destroying or damaging the gut microbiome, and how to repopulate it healthily to stave off any further adverse or negative and uncomfortable side-affects.

 @Pozguyinchi and @MuscledHorse I admire and appreciate your experience and insight.

I guess the "unintended consequences" were the "GI issues" alluded to or the gut microbiome destruction. What is that? What does it look like? Is it akin to constant (e.g. more than 3-4 days of) water-y or loose stools? Is it constant stomach rumbling? Is it not knowing if you're gonna "shart" (shit-fart)?

Your experience is appreciated and I love you guys. xoxo

I have found, even when I have eaten something that disagrees with me, that a few days of yoghurt is enough to restore the microbiome. I am talking homemade yoghurt, not the sugar-laden, artificially flavoured bs that passes for dessert. Also, eat kimchi or nam pla, fish sauce, at a Thai or Vietnamese restaurant. I think that most people douche to get rid of the last inches of the rectum to facilitate anal sex. Fisting is another matter....

Depending how often you douche and how deep each time, you can through that natural flora off in the same way antibiotics can do it to natural intestinal bacteria since they can't distinguish between good bacteria and infectious bacteria. THere are ways to put some of that back in, including probiotics and yogurt with live culture (like Activia).

I've never douched , but I drink enough piss every day it's like I just sqirt liquid for a hour after I drink piss in the evening and crap solid in the morning 😵

[NYBBGUY58]

That depends on whether I'm going to get fucked or not - I save it for the day of. This means, of course, that I can't get together at the drop of a hat. I don't mind that being an issue.

[MusclePig]

I'm part of the daily douching group, it's just become part of my routine to hose myself out when I shower. Like @MuscledHorse I haven't taken a "normal" shit in years, because I'm just always cleaned out.

I like never having to worry about whether I am ready to fucked or fisted. Additionally, I'm often wearing buttplugs for signficant period throughout the day, so it's convenient.

For most of my life I have been douching every day. When I was a teen I douched when needed but when I went to college and started my relationship with my gifter he wanted me douched at all times. This is a habit that I kept throughout my life until recently. I just got over my first STI of the year gonorrhea. While seeing my Dr. who is also gay, he said I should go down to two to three times a week. He said that it may reduce the number of STI’s I get. I also have had a few gi issues last year that he said could be related to removing good bacteria from my colon. It’s a hard habit to break for me. Douching has served me well. I am always ready to go. I have figured out the science of reading my body and have not had a mishap in a very long time. I do however think I am going to try to cut back this year and see how it goes.

This was from awhile ago. I have reduced the amount of my douching to  around 3 to 4  times a week. My Dr said I should trust my body. I have been lucky and have not had any accidents.

[allrise]

I douche most days using a douche attachment to shower hose, followed an application of Vit E cream. I feel much cleaner this way and ready for a fuck, fist or toy. 

so far not aware of any problem arising.

[PervBugChaser]

I hate douching. It's not pleasant at all. Most time I lost sex drive after doing it. But have to do it before going to baths and bars.

[Falls727]

It’s a necessary evil. I usually perform a good clean out before bottoming, sometimes it’s a quick douche and go. I never use harsh additives, just warm water.
