Water and Power

I think at one time I had every issue of W&P as well as the other publications mentioned here. For those of you who would like to locate these publications, I would recommend Add All

http://www.addall.com

It is the best search site I have found for locating hard to find publications.

Water Power & Enema Erotica Classic E Magazines. Kudos to you who still have them!

Dr E, Thank you for your informative message. Are you working on a book or DVD? Your thorough research and experiences would be so much appreciated by us in the E Community.

From what I remember, the "enema bandit" was a real guy living in Champaign Urbana, Illiniois, and gave enemas to coeds.

I agree with hughes--Dr E could create a great book or DVD, though finding a publisher/producer would be difficult.

In the mid 70s and 80s, I traveled extensively through out the US and Canada. When I had time I would visit "Adult Bookstores" in the particular cities I would be working in. At first I started with Fetish Times, Water Power, Waterworks, Beth Tyler, etc. I had a great collection. Then I got married and pitched everything, including my VHS collection. Admittedly, some of the quality was questionable, but it all that was available and I so needed to know I wasn't alone. My first hope of course was Penthouse Letters "Special Preference" pieces.

Gees...too bad there isn't a special enema "on line mag/dvd" website in "our e community" to purchase those favored items from the golden age of enema erotica.!

Hughes,

There was a thread on here several years ago about "The Enema Bandit"

from the Champaign area. Yes, it was real. At the time, I typed in

something like "Enema Bandit, IL" and up came several articles about

it, and his name and picture.

That was also areound the time in the 70's when people were big on

"Streaking".

Likely i still have a few issues of w&p around as well as other roxbury press mags

Thks Melissa 4 The Link/alta; Wow....vintage mags should bring a few bucks today! And we all did have a few...can't remember where they are today...ahhh another 'senior moment'!

I still have the "best" of Water and Power and Enemaerotica. Some stories and pictures are timeless although most aren't worth going back to. It was all that was available until the Penthouse letters although "Mr" magazine had a few (ostensible) letters that featured enemas along with spankings over the years

Water and Power was a glossy mag that compared poorly to the real deal of Nozzletalk. Somewhere in between in quality was a thin but interesting pamphlet-like publication with a great name: "Enema Hotline."

Water and Power and Waterworks both had good photos, mixture of old photos, film clip photos, and several interesting stories. There was also Fetish Times (newspaper with drawings and black and white newspaper type photos) which contained enemas as well as a wide variety of other fetish topics. Only copy of Enema Hotline I saw was a paperback compilation "Enema Hotline Review." I have seen several of the photos from these magazines published on various websites over the years.

Actually. eBay is perhaps the best source for all of the various old Enema magazines. Check under "All Categories" then "Everything Else" then "Adults only" For a broad search term try "enema". Otherwise try searching more specifically by title (Enema Erotica for instance). There is not always a magazine or magazines listed, but it does happen somewhat frequently. (Also a good way to locate other goodies).

Does anyone else remember this wonderful magazine?

I have an old copy, new when I bought it. Has anybody scanned them in and archived them anywhere?

The real impact those mags from the 70's had was on anyone bold enough to walk into an adult bookshop. Whether you were looking for it or not, the mags proved that there was interest in the subject on par with more conventional mags. Websites/forums like this prove that interest still lives, but it is not as out in the open as before. I think the mags discussed here gave notice, heightened curiosity, and provided a way for those beyond curious to participate. Just imagine if the internet had been around then.

Those magazines definitely hightened my curiosity of finding others like myself. I came upon such magazines in the mid to late 80's in adult book stores. Before the mid 80's if I wanted to look at something of adult nature I would settle for regular non hardcore mags sold at my local 7-11 convenience store. Before ever seeing magazines devoted to enema enthusiasts, I had traded regular skin mags with a friend of mind. One day he spoke of an adult book store that he had aquired magazines & videos that were better than what was at a 7-11 or mom & pop type of video store... I was intimidated initially about going into such a store. He said, "C'mon, man! You'll like what you see!" So, I went with him to the store one day. We each bought our own selection of girlie magazines. & while there, I saw ENEMA publications!!!! I was excited about that! I didn't let him know. I was a little embarrassed of my fetish at the time. But later I returned to the store to find those mags of women getting enemas... I was very happy afterwards. LOL. The mags didn't make me feel any less strange about my fetish however. But it made me happy to find there was a world of people that were actually into enemas. Years later, going to an E -Fest made me feel very happy, liberated about my fetish, & quite comfortable with my fetish. These days I love having this fetish. It's something very special to me. & it brings something extra out of the ordinary that adds to my pleasure of sex....

Great magazine - way ahead of it's time.

I would love to find someone who has issues of these magazines that they would sell. I hate that over the years I discarded ones that I had for one reason or the other! Usually in moves when I was so sick of moving stuff and would throw stuff out!!! Barry

I still have 5 of Sherry Taylors enema magazines.Since I was a fairly regular visitor to her clinic its like old times sake to review them.

My earliest memory of magazines portraying enemas for recreation was the Special Preference letters to Penthouse in the early to mis 70's. But there were no pictures. Even the adult bookstores I sometimes checked out just had the regular "suck and fuck" stuff, not much fetish stuff.

Then I switched jobs in the early 80's and saw a bookstore that I checked out at lunch. WOW. Kinky stuff, including enemas. I could not believe what i was seeing.

I got a series of Water & Power, WaterWorks, and a variety of other publications of the time. It let me know there were others like me.

It's fun to see and hear the old enema pics and stories.

I remember finding an enema mag when I was about 15 that had pics of men and mostly women receiving enemas and the one that got my attention and made me want to be in her place was where a female was bound on a bench in a public place with a metal object pressed tight to her ass that was obviously the nozzle with a large canister that fed the liquid to it about 2 feet above her and another metal device strapped to he mouth that was attached to a funnel that men were linned up to and were peeing into.

She had a horrified look on her face as she was being filled from both ends.

Verry errotic to me and made me foolishly want to be in her place.

Yes it was a drawn picture.

This was my 1st exposure to enemas in print, I remember feeling validated, not so alone in this kink. Before the internet I would go to the seedy parts of town to go through the dirty magazine racks looking for enema mags. Ahhh the good old days.

I only remember ever owning one single water and power magazine and I am sure this is due to it being the only one I ever had a chance to buy.The odd thing is I had a double decker VCR back than that you put the tape you rented in the top deck and a blank tape at the bottom and hit the button and now you have your own copy.

I managed to fill up several tapes of old cheesy enema movies,(8 fit on a tape)Almost every picture in that mag was screenshots from those tapes(Aside of coarse from the one I had wanted to see the most lol)rented from the same store so I wonder why they never had more mags,someone was renting and buying the videos.I went in a little while back.Not a single Enema related thing was to be seen.

I remember when we fist got married I ordered that

magazine. The first time miss L seen it she was frekout about it I told her that they made a mistake on the mag

Yer right lol I was already geting hustler

And penthouse after a year she learned to deal with it that's a big way that I expose my enema fetish to her I think she knew after the first magazine

Some of these publications were printed by "Mole Enterprises" located in upstate New York. Does anyone remember these. It was a little before the time that Beth Tyler took off. Bend over, enjoy.

I find it hard to say how excited I got when I first saw the enema magazines that everybody has been talking about. As I have heard others say they thought they were alone in there fetish. I can remember feeling almost anelectric shock go into my body when I first saw one. I assume that the internet put them out of business. I sure wish they would come out with those mags again.

I was able to order W&P along with several others through "Executive Imports International;" which had a NYC address. Every few months or so I'd get a flier with covers for 3 or 4 pages of magazines, mostly more standard S&M (spanking) and usually a half dozen or so enema magazines. Eventually, it went out of business but it was a great find- never had to go to a store to get what you needed.

All the commentary about "what was wrong" seems to have overlooked the skeevy vibes of a literal rape mindset. Tied up REAL children is the ultimate anti-erotic to me. Because it scares me that some damaged soul may harm a child. Or an adult. Or themselves.. Hell- I found maybe half or so of some W&P mags so disturbing that it nauseated me. I could brain dump many of them as a form of exorcism but I 'd feel slimed by the details. Memory can be a curse..

But a recurring theme was child punishments. As therapy for us with memories to process- sorta understandable. As harmless shared RP for adults who know what's fantasy and what's not? yeah- still ok. But past MY personal comfort zones and speaking for myself alone?

Degradation and non-consent. may be erotic to some folks, but it's a drop dead turn off to many folks. Oh, there's that abovementioned tenuous zone of "Desensitization Therapy" both for abusers and abused alike. Which I find dubious to screamingly fake in many cases. Call it..weasel wording to justify abuse being rendered normative? By folks that may **NOT** Grok the difference between Fantasies safe as such or RAPE that's never acceptable. Roleplay's "safe" only if the participants have their heads firmly anchored. As to the knowing what's a fucking magazine spread and what's safe to DO. Which BtW includes UNsafe stuff-

To the credit of one magazine- the article "How and How Much" balanced safety with reality in a fashion that influences me to the present!

The prime difference between CONSENSUAL Roleplay and Rape/abuse is * Adult CONSENT* and RP's or even yeah.. all porn.. involving only Consenting Adults are a separate case from the exploitation crap. I can even see a less mentioned aspect of Desense therapy as VALIDATION for our deep seated needs. Some of us lived in and with situations that defied our childhood comprehension AkA Ability to Process.

With a fine disregard for at the times- Processing accurately - which ones were abuse or merely a medical need. They simply were a cognitive dissonance if only by sensory overload. And adding sexuality is inescapable as our memories were/ARE entangled with pre/shortly post Pubertal association formations. I could pour out.. heh- pun? a whole long thesis on the memory embeddings of enemas.as sexual awakening. Which as adults- we seek closures for. Even roleplay!ng. with the unresolved issues themselves. .

Can we call it?.. Experiences we work at processing- by such magazines giving objective validation of not being so alone. .

I thus.. even so - suspend personal judgement on ANYTHING that harms no one and makes one hurt less from past traumas. Even if it skeeves me out on several levels.

There was a news paper called Enema Time that I used to get at book store it had a lot of fun enema stories and picks of people getting enemas, it also had ad for enema equipment as well as Gyno thing and catheters

I have seen vintage Issues of Water and Power and others on ebay -- good condition they can go from $35 to $50. I have about 10 myself that are in good shape. One of these days I may put them up there. Would prefer they went to a true collector.
