  • Royale Studios – Secrets from another generation

    Posted on by Ward
    “Royale” was a photographer active in Victoria, London in the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s, the period corresponding with Physique Pictorial magazine and Athletic Model Guild in the USA.

    Royale Studios or “Studio Royale” specialised in erotic photo sets of athletic and muscular adult guys in muscle posing and army or naval guardroom or barracks discipline situations, including spanking and corporal punishment  This groundbreaking material circulated underground as it was then considered illegal or borderline illegal in England.

  • AMG – Athletic Model Guild

    Posted on by Ward
    The Athletic Model Guild, or AMG, was founded by gay pornography pioneer Bob Mizer in December 1945. During those post-war years, United States censorship laws allowed women, but not men, to appear in various states of undress in what were referred to, with a wink, as “art” photographs. Mizer began his business by taking pictures of men that he knew, both gay and straight. His subjects would often pose for pictures, which, while ostensibly meant to illustrate fitness tips and the like, were clearly produced and published as homoerotic material.

    Although much of AMG’s material was made up of beefcake posing, many iconic male on male spanking images from the 195o’s and 1960’s originate from AGM, who still sell their videos through their website AthleticModelGuild.com also a lot of their imagery is very evocative of spanking and corporal punishment.

    Please do not go to AMG look for material including realistic or severe spanking, but rather to visit a different and more innocent world and view the material which entertained gay men of our father’s and grandfather’s generations.
    To me, the very innocence of AGM’s pictures and movies have an innate charm and eroticism which today’s far more explicit material, for all is other virtues, has lost
    The first few pictures are from Military School Initiation staring Chuck Steury, Ernie Matthews as the pledge masters and Bob Jackson and Monte Hanson as the pledges. Monte Hanson, who’s looks were not unlike those of Sting’s Matt Mills, was on of the most famous of the early AGM models and Military School Initiation forms part of the compilation DVD “The Complete Monte Hanson”

    Of course most of AMG’s output was non-spanking, but still a lot of fun


    Fast forward to the 1980’s and AMG spankings were in colour! Spanking had become a regular feature and AMG currently offer 41 compilation spanking DVDs full of 5 and 10 minute spanking scenes of differing quality.

    Chris Todd (who famously got his butt repeatedly spanked in Filmco’s Spanking Master Part 1) and Jeff Mcbride fool about as Master and slave in one of AMG’s 1980’s scenes

    Along with many others, Skooter Edwards (above) appeared in a number of spanking scenes for AMG in the 1980’s six of which are on the AMG compilation disc

    As interesting additional image the list of symbols below was how Bob Mizer kept a record of the various models virtues, flaws and proclivities

    Note: Some, although not all of these images were originally posted to the much missed M_MSpanking Group.
