History of Female Domination Magazines: 1900 - 1970

Screen 8 of 14

A man who went by the psuedonym “Little John” and was part of the Guyette social circle would introduce John Coutts to Irving Klaw during the year Klaw began to produce fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing material. Coutts sold Klaw some of his fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing photos, which helped Klaw in his fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing photography business. As a sidenote, Coutts was portrayed by Jared Harris in the 2006 movie “The Notorious Bettie Page”, which featured a meeting between John Willie and Bettie Page.

After publishing 20 issues of “Bizarre”, Coutts moved to Hollywood, California. He developed a brain tumor in 1961 and was forced to stop his mail order business. He destroyed his archives and returned to England, where he died.

By the early 1950's (1951-55) Irving Klaw was publishing his Nutrix Booklets. It was in 1951 that Gene Bilbrew begins his employment with Irving Klaw. Gene Bilbrew was also known as the fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing artist ENEG (which was Gene spelled backwards). Eric Stanton also began to sell his female domination drawings to Klaw but the relationship didn’t last when Klaw demanded Stanton cover up the whip marks in his drawings with clothing. Stanton began to sell his work to Lenny Burtman.

By 1955 Lenny Burtman was publishing “Exotique” magazine. “Exotique” ran for 36 issues from 1955 to 1959. Exotique was distributed nationwide and was one of the key fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing publications of the late 1950’s.
