5.0 out of 5 stars a must-read for anyone with a sexual sense of humor!, July 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Enema As an Erotic Art and Its History (Paperback)

Entertaining, literate, witty, perverse, endlessly fascinating, this book traces the history of the enema and all of its unpredictable manifestations throughout the ages. Really quite a masterpiece in its own funny way. DO NOT bypass just because of the subject matter! Tremendous illustrations!

5.0 out of 5 stars The last word and first choice for hydrophiliacs, June 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Enema As an Erotic Art and Its History (Paperback)

An absolutely beautiful celebration of the enema as an erotic experience. A very tasteful, scholarly, and genuinely sexy book for adults of all orientations. Positive emphasis on male/male, but not for Gays only.

This review is from: Enema As an Erotic Art and Its History (Paperback)

I first saw "The Enema as an Erotic Art and Its History" in the early 80s, long before I began writing about enema eroticism (see, e.g., my book "Intimate Invasions").

I saw it then -- probably in a review of it in a magazine -- and immediately bought it. It exceeded my expectations; interesting erotic text and, most important, mind-bogglingly arousing illustrations. It's served as the basis for some of my writing, and the countless hours I spent with the images have left them burned forever on my brain.

Truly a classic. If you want a book that is, in some sense, the grandaddy of all of the enema books, this might be the one. Highly recommended, particularly for the pictures.
