According to Mr. Underheel on Twitter, these two photos are of legendary fetish publisher John Willie getting an over-the-knee spanking:

An old post on Tumblr attributes this photograph to John Willie, which I find plausible but not conclusive. Perhaps from somewhere in the long run of Bizarre magazine? The fashions seem right for the era.

John Willie On Equality

Here’s famous fetish artist John Willie, drawing about a bunch of gender barriers so ancient that many who who see this here may be too young to know that some of them ever existed. But his ultimate suggestion? That, I suggest, remains pertinent:

Learn Geography!
Wednesday, April 28th, 2010 -- by Bacchus
Back in the 1950s there was a running gag (no pun intended) in John Willie’s Bizarre magazine. He’d run a bondage photograph plus copy exhorting the reader to learn “jiu-jitsu” to avoid such situations:
For some odd reason that “Learn Jiu-Jitsu!” tagline popped instantly into my head when I stumbled over this old photograph from the early days of Hogtied.com:
Only, of course, it was twisted around: “Learn geography! So you don’t get into this mess…”
Update: After some serious rummaging and searching, I was able to find the Hogtied photoshoot (from 2003!) that this image comes from. The model is Audrey Leigh.

Fetish Fuel In Life Magazine, 1939
Monday, January 18th, 2010 -- by Bacchus
Bondage Blog has a great piece this morning featuring a pretty girl being shrink wrapped, in a latex balloon. In 1939. By a meat packing company. In the pages of Life magazine, in front of God and everybody and your prissy great-aunt Beatrix.
Granted, treating girls like meat was probably uncontroversial back in 1939. But what fascinates me is the fetish fuel question. In 2010, this is fetish fuel of the highest octane. Bondage Blog rattled off six or seven fetishes it touches on, and I could add several more without a strain. (Lingerie, breath control…) But was it obvious fetish fuel then? Was this a bit of clever marketing by kinky bastards who knew how to get a press release covered by Life, which in turn knew that it could publish the kinkiest shit in front of Aunt Beatrix and everybody just by playing dumb and keeping a straight face?
Or was it, in all innocence, the “gosh-gee-whiz this is how you’ll be getting your beef” celebration of marching technology it presents itself as? Were people really that innocent in 1939? I find that very hard to believe.
Complicating all this is the fact that fetishes evolve over time, and I’m not aware of anybody who has tracked those evolutions in any rigorous way. When did rubber even become a fetish material? (I know it was well established as such by the time John Willie started publishing his Bizarre magazine in the late 1940s.)
