History of "Fetish Times"
- by Mistress Michelle Peters & slave english
The genesis of the B&D newspaper is traceable back through the linage of B&D Magazine publishing to the 1930s. During the 1920s & 1930's "London Life" was published in England & distributed worldwide, while not specifically a B&D Fetish magazine, It was the first internationally distributed magazine to have a regular & sizeable B&D and fetish section. The artist & publisher John Coutts (aka John Willie) was a regular contributor.
In 1946, John Willie first published "Bizarre", considered to be the first dedicated B&D Fetish magazine. By the early 1950s (1951-55) Irving Klaw was publishing his Nutrix Booklets and by 1954/55 Lenny Burtman was publishing Exotica (1954) and Exotique (1955) magazine. With the advent of Lenny Burtman's publishing enterprises (against a backdrop of obscenity cases) the B&D / Fetish magazine market grew manifold and the demand seemed to grow year by year.
In 1968, a New York publisher by the name of Al (Alvin) Goldstein published "Screw Magazine", a porn tabloid newspaper. "Screw Magazine" was published as a heterosexual tabloid newspaper for sound economic reasons. Star Publishing of Brooklyn, N. Y. (headed by Teddy (Roth) Rothstein) would charge two dollars to print a five-dollar magazine, two dollars to distribute, leaving you with one dollar income on each magazine. Star controlled all fetish / B&D magazines east of the Mississippi, while Mag Corp controlled all printing west of the Mississippi. The cost of producing a newspaper was significantly lower than the " glossy" B&D porn magazines because a newspaper could be laid out at the office, instead of at the printers, this now meant fewer issues were needed to be sold to reach a "breakeven" point financially. Secondly, the cover price could be lower than the "traditional" magazines and because of the newspaper format, issues could be produced on a more frequent basis.
