I was having a clear out at home and found my stash of 'Cascade' magazines.
These were from the years around 1990, and were the only Water-Sports content available at the time in UK, except fro the occasional mention in Fiesta and other 'top Shelf' magazines.
Cascade was a home published mag, badly reproduced on a B/W photocopier. Pictures were impossible, partly because the copier could not cope and partly because UK censorship would not permit it. The publishers were prosecuted for 'Wet' pictures.
We should be thankful for how far we have come since that time. Now we have almost limitless HD colour pictures and plenty of other content to enjoy. Most of Cascade content was "readers' letters" sent in or copied from other magazines, and were mostly about couples pissing on each other, and probably fictitious.
Stories? One of my early efforts on female desperation, and numerous letters claiming to be from ladies who wet their knickers. The idea that pictures of these wetting might be published was quite out of the question. Absolutely taboo in UK at least.
Videos? Only adverts for the standard hard core porn VHS videos from dubious addresses. YOu can now get more from 5 mins on Bing than there was in 3 years of Cascade, and Cascade cost money £24 per year.
Remember that the Internet hardly existed then for most people, and there was no mention of it in these magazines.
I had kept these magazines, delivered by post in plain envelopes, out of sentiment, but the time has come for them to go. if somebody finds them in the paper recycling bin, I doubt if they would cause any offence, except disappointment that they are all B/W and have no pictures.
NB in one there was a vague mention of Wet Set but nothing more.
Another mention went to Patches Place; is that still going now?
