Summary
The November 1974 issue of Kitan Club combines an unusually extensive opening bondage portfolio with documentary accounts of organized SM play, fiction, personal testimony, fetish essays, serialized narratives, and studies of specialized erotic practices. Its editorial identity is strongly participatory: models, photographers, practitioners, readers, and writers repeatedly cross the boundary between observation and performance, giving the issue the character of both an erotic magazine and a record of an active SM subculture.
