Over a year ago, my husband and I discussed your special preference letters, but frankly the idea of using enemas for sexual gratification did nothing for me. So because of my lack of interest, we never experimented. I gave the subject no more thought until a few months ago while having a heated argument.

My husband had arrived home in a wretched mood. Short-tempered and argumentative, nothing I said or did was right, and we were in the midst of screaming at one another when I lost patience and told him what a crappy mood he was in. Then I said : what you need is a good enema. I don't know what even make me think of an enema at that precise moment maybe it was your magazine but acting on impulse, I went into the bathroom, filled up a syringe bag with soapy water, and for good measure, attached a large douche nozzle to the hose. I went into the bedroom with the full bag on a hanger and told my husband to undress and no arguments. Every time he would begin to say something, I would silence him sternly until he did as he was told and was lying naked on the bed.

I hung the bag on the bedpost, and as soon as I inserted the lubricated nozzle all the way in, he immediately got an erection. When I released the water, the muscles in his legs tensed, and he began to move from side to side. I stopped the flow of water occasionally, and as he got more and more aroused, I began to masturbate him while at the same time moving the nozzle around in his rectum in a slow circular motion that drove him wild. He finally climaxed with a powerful ejaculation, and it was about five minutes before he got up from the bed to empty himself.

Afterwards, the change in his attitude was almost total. He was relaxed and gracious, almost docile, and in a good enough mood to have a few drinks, and later still, to make love enthusiastically.

I'm smart enough to know when I've found a good thing, and since then I've continued to administer enemas to my husband whenever he's tense or out of sorts. And he always responds favorable. I don't know how or why they work, but I do know from experience that for my husband an enema is not only a positive sex experience, but the best therapeutic device I've found to cure an uptight disposition.

I am suspicious that enemas are primarily a male sex fetish as I have no desire for my husband to give me one, but I wonder if anyone could comment on the male vs. female attitude toward enemas from a physiological as well as psychological point of view. Is the pleasurable and tranquilizing effect enemas have on my husband unusual or unique? Name and address withheld (November 1975)
