Based on the amount of stuff I now see for sale (eBay, Amazon, Etc.), I think NOW is the golden age

I've been an enemaphile since I can remember. I gave them to myself. I gave them to my first girlfriend. I've given and taken (I didn't count) thousands of them over the years.

However, for a period of time, sometime in the 70's through about the mid-90's, they really seemed to "go out of fashion." Then came Usenet, and alt.sex.enemas, to which I eagerly posted until it became nonexistent. Then came medical fetishism. Then came all the interest in enemas on the internet at large. Then came all the exotic equipment.

I've done medical fetish play for 20 or so years (as the Doc), and every session has included enemas, rectal exams, and other rectal work. The thing is, it's finally (sorta) coming out of the closet, which is a wonderful thing. I enjoy giving and getting them, and it's nice to see more folks realizing that they are one of the best health / pain / pleasure / erotic tools around...

Yes, but mostly behind closed doors.

It isn't discussed or bags kept in the open the way it was 50-75 years ago.

Susie, It was behind closed doors 50 - 75 years ago too. That's why the bag often hung on the back of the bathroom door.

I've made the point elsewhere that I believe BDSM and all its interesting kinks is probably going to be one of the last things to come out of the closet. However, in the last couple decades, we've seen a lot of "loosening up;"

people living together and becoming life partners without getting married;

gay pride, lots of lgbt stuff;

anal play (and one of the things about anal play is that "getting clean" is pretty much a recognized necessity)

gay marriage (the last few years);

finally, there was "fifty shades of grey;" (and, Oh, Please!!! THAT wasn't bdsm!)

I believe that all the stuff that was done and played in private will someday soon become public knowledge. We are, after all, a consumer society, and there is lots of money in the "implements" of bdsm (restraints, whips, etc), medfetish, enemas, anal play, object insertions, and all the other fun stuff we enjoy as kinksters. I admit that my erotic nature is informed and fulfilled by most of this stuff, and it's a lot of fun. In a sense, if you're a kinkster, viagra/cialis for stimulation is not as important as enjoying your partner to the utmost, whether you are Dom or sub, since kinky erotic behavior stimulates the areas of the brain that enhance libido. And now there are sooo many ways...
