One interesting sidenote about Rueben Sturman was the adult toy company he started in the late 1960’s. It was named in mocking tribute to then President Lyndon B. Johnson, whose justice department repeatedly attempted to prosecute Sturman for obscenity. That company was called “Doc Johnson” and today it continues to sell popular sex toys.

AtomAge magazine (later AtomAge International magazine) was a fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing magazine published in Britain by the clothes designer John Sutcliffe in the 1970's as an offshoot of his AtomAge fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing clothing business. John Sutcliffe was a British fashion designer and fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing photographer, famous in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's as a designer of clothes for aficionados of leather, rubber and PVC亮面塑料 — shiny plastic used for tight clothes fetishism. He has been credited with designing the leather outfits for Honor Blackman and Diana Rigg of “The Avengers” televison show.

The first AtomAge clothing catalogue was published in 1965; the first issue of the magazine in A5 format was published in 1972, remaining in print until 1980. The magazine specialized in leather, rubber and PVC亮面塑料 — shiny plastic used for tight clothes fetishism, with a heavy emphasis on rubber and leather catsuits连体紧身衣 — a tight suit that covers the whole body, cloaks, and gasmasks.

In addition to Female Domination Magazines, the FemDom女性支配 — female domination newspaper became popular at Adult bookstores around the country because it was easier and cheaper to produce a newspaper than a magazine.
