- Bettie Page
Bettie Mae Page (1923 - 2008) was an American model who gained a significant profile in the 1950s for her pin-up photos.
- Glenn or Glenda
This odd bondage, whipping, sexual assault footage was from an unfinished Weiss project (probably a burlesque film) directed by W. Merle Connell -- who specialized in cheesy exploitation and striptease films. Could there be an Irving Klaw influence here? In New York around 1953 Klaw was just getting started making his fetish film-loops with Bettie Page and other models.
- Olga's House of Shame
This highly influential New York grindhouse film launched the new wave of "roughie" sexploitation. Designed to be the opposite of the colorful "nudie-cuties", roughies added sex and sadism to film-noir crime-dramas in stories about depraved psychos who abduct women, white slavery rings, prostitution and drugs. This film has all of those elements. The first full-length feature to show fetishes such as sadistic adult spanking, human pony training, and various S&M devices and practices used to control slave girls.

- 1960 Stag Movies
The prehistory of modern pornography is the classical American stag film, a body of clandestine short pornographic films produced during the first two-thirds of the 20th century. While the exact corpus of the distinctive stag film remains unknown, scholars at the Kinsey Institute believe there are approximately 2000 films produced between 1915-1968.
- 1940/1950 Stag Movies
Family Spirit (1940) "Family Spirit", 1940s (or earlier) French hardcore stag film with emphasis on fetishistic whipping, spanking and lots of other stuff. The many explicit sex scenes had to be cut in order to keep this on the Archive. This film is part of a series I'm posting on vintage fetish films, not porn.
- Forbidden Daughters
- Rent a Girl (1965)
This film is about a sleazy New York modeling agency that rents out girls to perverted clients with "special needs". Fetishes include an eccentric artist who paints directly on his nude models and a water freak who likes to drench bound beauties with a garden hose. Agency owner Mrs. Grant also throws wild "swingers only" parties with peculiar adult games for her depraved friends and clients.
- Irving Klaw ~ Bondage
Three short, obscure Klaw films featuring the usual rope bondage and spanking of underwear-clad models. Filmed in a crude warehouse. No title cards identifying the performers. Could be raw footage that was never properly finished.
- Irving Klaw ~ Spanking
Featuring: Bettie Page. This compilation has just about all of Klaw's early fetish film work and a bunch sexy unknown models. plus black nylons galore.
- Various clips (1930 - 1960)

A stag reel or stag party film is an erotic, often explicitly pornographic, film reel produced from the 1900s to the early 1980s. The term stag refers to single men ("to go stag" = "to go alone"). Some pornographic shorts made in the 1930s even had a fictitious "Stag Films" company logo showing the head of a male deer. These "blue movies" were originally shown in brothels, fraternal organizations and social clubs, private all-male parties (especially bachelor parties), as well as "members only" cinema clubs.
Stag reels (aka film-loops) were initially highly illicit and nearly always produced anonymously for fear of legal prosecution. These "nudies" were primarily clandestine 8mm and 16mm silent, single-reel short films (5 to 15 minutes in length) made for private viewing and sold under the counter at adult book shops.
By the early 1950s, nonpornographic reels featuring nudism, striptease acts, and various fetishes (bondage, spanking, role-play, etc.), were being sold through mail order ads placed in mainstream girlie publications and underground fetish/spanking magazines (Bizarre, Corporal, et al.). Cheap film projectors and hand-held viewers were also sold through men's magazines. (In the late 1960s an 8mm fetish reel (200 feet in length) sold for around $20-$25.)
Fetish-oriented reels generally did not contain sex acts (or even nudity in many cases) while pornographic sex reels did not include fetishistic content. (Some films produced in France starting in the 1930s are the exception.) By the seventies, color films, some with audio music tracks, were introduced as the line between hardcore pornography and non-sex fetish reels began to blur.
Stag reels produced on film became obsolete in the early eighties with the introduction of the videocassette and VCR home-viewing technology. Many of the earliest bondage/spanking videotapes were compilations of silent 8mm stag reels converted to Beta/VHS format, often with public domain music added to the soundtrack.
The earliest stag reels with fetish and BDSM sexuality come primarily from France in the 1930s (later, other countries followed). Several Paris-produced spanking/whipping reels still exist, including some by erotic/fetish photographer Jacques Biederer (photo above)
Since this page is just a small side project don't expect a large collection stag movies. I did however try to bring together a nice collection movies that reveal some fetish themes. Some are stag movies, others are hollywood movies with spanking or fetish subjects presented in the movie.
