In Media
The popular sex column Savage Love has mentioned WAM. In one article there was a reply to a letter from the roommate of someone who masturbates with condiments. Dan Savage, the writer of Savage Love, did not condemn the fetish in that incident but instead only condemned the fetishist for using condiments used by others.
Wet and messy fetishism, also known as wamplay, made mainstream news when a teacher in Halifax, West Yorkshire was disciplined for searching for WAM related terms on a school computer. An article about the incident described what the teacher was looking for as "bizarre". He was given a two-year conditional registration order.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
