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.
Stag cinema is a form of hardcore film and is characterized as silent, usually filling a single reel or less, and was illegally made and exhibited because of censorship laws in America. Women were excluded from these private screenings that were shown in American "smoker" houses such as fraternities or other exclusive institutions. In Europe, films of the same kind were screened within brothels. The mode of reception of the all-male audience of stag films was raucous, collective sexual banter and sexual arousal.
Film historians describe stag films as a primitive form of cinema because they were produced by anonymous and amateur male artists who failed in achieving narrative coherence and continuity within their diegesis. Today, many of these films have been archived by the Kinsey Institute, however most are in a state of decay and have no copyright, real credits, or acknowledged authorship. The stag film era inevitably ended due to the beginnings of the sexual revolution in the fifties in combination with the new technologies of the post war era, such as 16mm, 8mm, and the Super 8.

Since some movies can not really be catagorised I label those as 'stag' since they are a essential element in the development of producing fetish content for movies.

1960s Bondage-abduction fetish stag film Short and sweet example of a late '60s BDSM loop shot on 8 or 16mm film. Features an especially beautiful and well-built blonde and some nice touches. Accessories include a dog collar, ball-gag, quirt (whip) and an Army belt as restraining device. Most of these '50s-'60s shorts are all-female and have a light tone I call "slumber party gone wrong". This tries, and fails, to be more hardcore and menacing by including a guy (we only see his hands), an abduction theme, and a quirt (used badly). Some really bad Method acting is also amusing. The girl wakes up (presumably she was drugged), looks around, takes a long pause, then lets out a big phony scream. Thankfully, we don't have to hear it on this silent reel. This film clip (made anonymously, origin unknown) and soundtrack music are in the public domain. |
60s Latex Mistress and Slave Girls, fetish stag film Prime example of a late-1960s (non-porn) fetish stag reel. A latex-clad mistress punishes four slave girls with a rope flogger. Non-stop whipping and spanking action plus obligatory bondage. A bit more serious and consistent in tone than most of the semi-comic shorts in this sub-genre. |
