Enema scene in MIDNIGHT COWBOY. What does it mean?

[Hard Idle]

I had a neighbor who's mother used to punish him by giving him enemas. She also used to threaten him in front of other kids with with getting an enema. I am pretty sure they were 1st generation English.

How old were you guys when all this was taking place????

From what I remember, his gf is the town slut, and everyone takes a turn with her...

So you're saying that somebody with infuence wanted to make sure she her ass was clean for his turn?

Talk about being humiliated and violated.
