In the 1960s, about half of Mr. Burtman’s magazines were distributed by a company called All States, out of Chicago. By 1966, All States was bankrupt and disappeared, owing Mr. Burtman $180,000. The financial crisis resulted in a new alliance with Reuben Sturman of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Sturman is generally recognized as the covert publisher or distributor of most of the adult magazines in the US from 1960 through 1990. Robert Blue called him “the King of Porn.” Unique World, Five, reflects the continuing connection between Mr. Sturman and Mr. Burtman, after his California migration, with ads for adult products by mail order out of Cleveland.


Unique World is the direct descendant of Bizarre Life magazine, both of which were published by Leonard Burtman. While Mr. Burtman had a practice of reusing the product of photo sessions, circulating them among his titles, this issue consists of mostly new content.


Unique World presents photo narratives of dominant females in fetish leather, physically punishing a man or another woman. Photographs show pretty models in boots and pumps, holding whips. Shiny, sheer, seamless stockings, held in place by garter belts or corset garter straps, adorn shapely legs.


Four Foto-Features show women in high heels punishing a man with a whip:

Lusts of a Leather Bitch —
In leather corset, stockings and pumps with five-inch heels, Laura whips Paul and forces him to lick her feet and shoes. After he laces on her knee-high boots, she installs blindfold and bridle and rides him.

Bruising the Tailor —
After Juan delivers their leather dresses, Juno and Darlene give him a spiked drink. When he awakes, he finds himself in bondage, his tormentrixes stripped down to corset, long gloves, stockings and high-heeled shoes and boots. Using varied punishment utensils, they have fun hurting him. In the last scene, the two lovelies canoodle in bed while bound Juan watches.

Subjugated Swinger —
When Al visits Julie's apartment, he becomes too aggressive and she tries to fight off unwelcome advances. Booted sister Reba appears and balances the conflict. With Al's hands and ankles tied, it's easy to spank and whip him, which the two ladies seem to enjoy.

They press their spikes into his flesh, then demand body worship. This photo sequence is accompanied by an articulate short story with descriptions
and dialog.

Brutal Passions —
“Myra is a transvestite and a woman who gets her greatest thrills dominating men. Sheathed in leather and nylons, her feet in high-heeled pumps, Myra straps a spiked dog collar around Bill's neck and retrieves an assortment of whips . . . . she subjugates the cowering man, lashing him with whips and forcing him to suck on her spike heel.” Nice hosiery.


Three Foto-Features show women in high heels:

Satanic Lust —
Young, lithe Peggy submits to a flagellation rite as part of her initiation into Sabra's coven of witches. They both look great in boots and leather.

Leather Life in London —
Two beauties assist each other as they dress up in bras, stockings, corsets, gloves and boots. This photo set probably appeared in at least one Burtman-related magazine before 1970.

Three for Domination —
Three pretty models in stockings and heels show off shapely legs, a cat o' nine tails and more in a living room. They take turns in the dominant role.


Three other prose pieces:

Singing the Bondage Blues —
Roommates Marge and Linda scheme to torment Dan. After he's bound, slapped and whipped, they demand boot and body worship from their new slave. Lots of hip vernacular.

Recruits of the Leather Queens —
Gorgeous sisters love leather attire and hate men. They lure leather bikers in their lair, bind them, slap them and obtain body worship. Six illustrations by an unnamed artist.

Case Histories: Women Who Dominate Men —
“ . . . a dominant female, determine to reign supreme, subjugated her young, emotionally weak husband, to a point of virtual slavery and dependence. . . . led him to exchange his mother complex for the potent, mystical veneration of fetishism . . . the love of gleaming leather.” Introduced by a fine Eric Stanton painting.

A page-by-page digital replica
The original 100-page magazine is presented in a large-format ebook. All words, pictures and advertisements are included. The tonality of photographs has been adjusted and some specks re-touched. All original scans. Female and male nudity.

The sequence of pages was revised to obtain continuity of prose pieces and photo sets. Some page layouts were revised slightly to place pictures without reduction in size. In so doing, some of the carpets, window coverings, walls and furniture have been cropped out. Due to these modifications, the ebook provides a viewing experience that is superior to that of the original paper version.

Optimized for ebook viewing
The optimized version is based on pictures, not pages. Each picture is positioned on a separate, wide ebook page, and most fill the screen from top to bottom. Models are shown complete, and fetish details, such as corsets, stockings and footwear, are shown enlarged beside the complete image or on another page.

In the original, many photos are small (three inches in height, or less), sometimes arranged niine to a page. The smaller pictures are included and few may show soft edges. The optimized ebook organizes each set of images in narrative progression, observing costume consistency. All illustrations are clustered, one-to-each-page, at the end of the optimized version.

Issue Five serves a banquet of sexy models in taut nylons and fetish footwear, putting wayward men in their place. The optimized ebook provides a convenient album of femdom imagery that reduces the need for zooming and scrolling and anticipates the curiosity of the viewer. There has never been an easier mechanism for enjoyment of these dynamic images from the 1970s.

NOTE
Although some parts of pictures are obscured on this page, the ebook shows everything that's in the original.
