History of Female Domination Magazines: 1900 - 1970

Screen 1 of 14

By Johnny J (with contributions from Elise Sutton)

Out of “Photo Bits” and some other magazine mergers like “Half Holiday” and “Modern Society”, there emerged “London Life”. “London Life” started in the late 1920’s, and continued through the beginning of World War II until the publication’s London office was bombed by the German Luftwaffe in 1941, when 10,000 pounds worth of machinery, and all the files, were destroyed.

“‘London Life” was really the beginning of what we would classify as a Fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing magazine with occasional FemDom女性支配 — female domination content. “London Life” appeared weekly as a 'glamour' magazine; and through changing fashions always had showgirls or 'bathing belles' on its covers and similar frivolities in its pages. However, its contents combined a consistent and respectable variety of topical chat, theatrical and film news and some titillating articles. The readers' letters section grew steadily, seemingly particularly stimulated by the racier elements of some of the articles and stories.

To trace the genealogy of the FemDom女性支配 — female domination magazine, we could go as far back as the late 1800’s. There were various fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing and FemDom女性支配 — female domination photos and artwork that made its way into European erotica in the late 1800’s. For the purpose of this Predominant feature, I will begin our journey in the 1900’s.
