Back in 1980 Gordon Sergeant established a spanking club that Janus readers could join with its own bulletin newsletter called ‘Privilege’. Very soon after launch ‘The Janus Club’ became known as ‘The Privilege Club’. We thought visitors to this site might enjoy seeing the very first issue of this bi-monthly magazine.

It’s interesting to look back now at the objectives of the club. In addition to offering a contact service the club hoped to:

Provide, through the Club Bulletin, ‘Privilege’, a lively mixture of news, up-to-date checked case histories on all aspects of corporal punishment administered both for disciplinary and pleasure reasons, a selection of letters, particularly OBB’s and various other topics which will be balanced according to the response  that we get from our survey.

OBB, for those not familiar with the term, stands for Order of the Burning Bot, a very popular feature in Janus magazine where readers could write in nominating celebrity bottoms for a good thrashing and then describe the imagined events in detail. Name checked in this first issue are Sue Lawley, Maggie Philbin, Jenny Agutter and Hannah Gordon. Readers are also invited to complete and send in a survey of things they would like to see offered to club members. A shame that the suggested club tie, tie pin and lapel badge never materialised – they would be collector’s items today.

Apparently Gordon’s vision was to eventually open club premises for members with a bar, screening room and library – a Shangri-La for spankers everywhere!

It would be fair to say that Janus 24 is probably best remembered for Antonia du Bois’s final appearance in the magazine. The spanking photo fantasy ‘All Yours’ is often overlooked, coming as it does in the middle of a formidable run of issues that appeared in the early 1980s. Peter French and Vic Barnes always tried to ensure that each issue of Janus was different from what had gone before. They knew the easy option was to put a model in a uniform on every cover but instead decided to develop unique corporal punishment scenarios for each photo fantasy. This approach distinguished the magazine from many of it’s rivals at the time.

Written by Peter French ‘All Yours’ is a submissive fantasy for readers to lose themselves in.

‘Every gentleman should have a girl whose will is his command – who finds her keenest pleasure in obeying him, risking chastisement when she fails. Or better still, several…’

We thought you might enjoy something a little different for our spanking photos update this week. Sitting in a dusty corner of our archive room are a large collection of vintage prints that have not yet been catalogued. The origin of many of these images are shrouded in mystery but they were all purchased or produced by Janus for publication at some stage – some of them have appeared in the magazine over the years.

These six images have been scanned from the original prints and we hope you enjoy seeing them in high quality for the first time. If you have any knowledge of the origin of these images we’d love to hear from you. You can email us at archive@janusworldwide.com or post a reply below. If you’d like to see more vintage spanking photos let us know.
