Does Using Syringe Of 250 Ml And 125 Ml Would Be Fine To Douche Before Sex?

Hello, I am a gay male. Before having sex with my partner, i like to douche to avoid any messy accidents etc. However, whenever I douche, I always get stomach pains. Sort of like i have diarohia and really need to go. Cramp sort of pains. I use a bulb douche with a capacity of around 250ml. Plain luke warm water. i usually have to make around 6-10 rinses before the water runs clean. Could I be using too much water? Am I supposed to syringe the whole 250ml or around 125ml at a time? I would really appreciate your help on this :) Thank You

Hello,
It is my privilege to help you,
I have gone through history and the problem,
Let me just say that douching does not protect you against transmission of STIs or HIV.
One should preserve the natural flora of the lower gut as it protects against a infections.
Those who choose to douche do it purely out of a need for cleanliness.
Surprisingly, your anus is relatively empty most of the time.
In fact, it will only fill with excrement moments before it all needs to come out.
Because of the faulty technique and repeating douching for several time has led to your problem.
I would suggest you to understand the concept of douching and then follow.
Thank you.
