Mastered Male Disciplined by Tame-Azons
First published by Mr. Klaw as a Nutrix book in 1963, Mastered Male Disciplined by Tame-Azons theme is essentially femdom. At the same time, the techniques of the professional husband-trainers (i.e., the Tame-Azons) in the story involve forced cross-dressing to subdue and restrain the aggressive tendencies of the husbands in their charge.


THE PLOT: Rude and belligerent, Janet's husband Barney makes their home miserable for her. She contracts with professional husband-trainers Portia and Potentia to reform the overbearing spouse by using subjugation and humiliation techniques for which they were renown.

The relentless disciplinary regimen imposed on Barney consists of painful bondage and a continuously changing wardrobe of feminine foundation garments, helmets, masks, gags, hosiery, high-heeled boots, bras, and bloomers. His restrictive women's attire is usually fashioned from rubber and leather. Bondage devices consist of chairs, beds, planks, benches, and unique steel contraptions.

Wearing rubber corset, panties, boots, helmet and long gloves, Barney is strapped into an intricate steel assembly that has the words Mastered Male on its thick wood base. When he capitulates to his betters, Barney is returned to his wife, who dresses him as a pretty maid. To illustrate the remainder of the narrative, photographs show a man dressed in women's clothing, bound in rope.

Unlike other stories involving forced cross-dressing, males are not quite feminized. Harry's pictures depict a cute male, petite in scale, made curvy within tight-fitting leather and rubber fetish attire. The unpleasant aspects of his nasty maleness are bizarrely neutralized when he is re-packaged in complex rubber and leather and helplessly bound by determined women.

THE ART: Irving Klaw first published work by the artist named Harry in the early 1960s. He signed his drawings with a capital H on a curled square of paper. On a field of black, he carves his scenes and characters in white lines that comprise a modest geometry of shape and volume. Many of his figures are outlined with a thick white line, which suggests that he may have pasted drawings of characters on to backgrounds. However we may characterize his style or skill, his illustrations describe costumes, feelings and scenarios with clarity and precision.

Where Mr. Bilbrew's fantasy divas are outrageously over the top, Harry's women, while stylish dressers, are more like actual royalty, imperious but reserved. The dominant women here are shown at work, providing wives with expert service, focused on the task at hand.

THE EBOOK: The original Nutrix booklet had about 60 pages, a typed story, 23 illustrations and 13 photographs. It appears that the text was written after the drawings were made, but not everything shown in the pictures is included in the text. The ebook shows all content presented in the Nutrix booklet, in the original sequence, including two
pages of advertising.

The brightness and contrast of text and illustrations were adjusted in pursuit of clarity. Some specks were re-touched.

All new scans.

Tame-Azons were contrived by Mr. Klaw as a team of powerful women who train men to be polite and obedient to the women who obtain their services. Mr. Klaw's Tame-Azons were pictured in at least two Nutrix booklets by Harry and at least once by Eric Stanton.

The ebook offers opportunity to enjoy the clever work of a little-known artist with substantial talent and an appealing point of view. Fans of illustrated fiction with femdom or T-V themes will enjoy this visual treat.

Published by Rosslyn News in 1966, Bondage Photo Album Volume One includes 15 illustrations by Harry. They are included as an appendix in the Mastered Male ebook.
The art shows austere mistresses strapping a pretty, pony-tailed blond into assorted bondage restraints. The ornate costumes show fetish fashions in the style of the Tame-Azon series. This rare Harry art again demonstrates his fluent inventiveness in the femdom genre.
