I gre up in the 1950's. Enemas were common. I know I got quite a few.

Whenever I had a cold, Mom always took my Temperature rectally. Most of the time I got called into her bedroom where she was shaking the thermometer. A towel was spread on her bed. Soon I was laying on my stomach with my pants down around my ankles. Mom didn't say anything. I felt the RT go in waited a few moments and then she took it out. Got up and left. This went on until end of High school.

The one time I really remember was I was going to take a bath. I was about to get into the bathtub when I heard mom call me to come to her bedroom. I put a towel around me and went. She was there shaking the RT I took off my towel and laid naked over the bed. In went the RT. Mom casually asked if I had a BM today. I said "no". Mom left then came back some minutes later. After she took the RT out, I went back into the bathroom. Mom had the enema bulb out and I got one of her standard 2 bulbfull
enema.
