We are very pleased to report that two more classic Janus spanking films have been recovered and returned to our archive. Our thanks go to AM who had purchased ‘Thoughts of Girlhood Chastisements’ and Night (H)Owls on video from the Janus shop more than 30 years ago. Both films were produced by George Harrison Marks. ‘Thoughts of Girlhood Chastisements’ features prominently in Janus 7 which was the final issue of Janus to be edited by George Harrison Marks before he left to start Kane magazine.
Obviously neither film is in pristine condition but both are watchable and enjoyable collectors items. Click on the highlighted links to download Janus 7 or either of these films. (We are very grateful to Kane for returning the photos below from ‘Thoughts of Girlhood Chastisements’ which were originally held in their archive.) Our list of missing films continues to shrink thanks to the efforts of a great number of collectors who have helped us to fill in the gaps. Can you help us find the remaining films? The titles we are still trying to track down are:
Air Hostess
Bend Over Bunty
Disciplined Daughter 1 and 2
Domestic Discipline
House of Discipline
Linda’s Choice
Maid for Spanking
Prefect’s Punishment
Real Tears
Schoolboy (Headmistress)
Strict Uncle
If you have copies of any of these films then please get in touch by emailing archive@janusworldwide.com As a ‘thank you’ we’d be pleased to offer a number of free downloads from our online shop. Finally, we wondered if anyone out there knows the whereabouts of Piran Murphy? Piran took photos for Janus for many years during AG Van Okker’s time as editor and we’d very much like to make contact with him.
This week we have added five new spanking magazines in total to our online shop. Janus Vol.3 No.11, Blushes Vol.2 No.21, Mentor Vol.1 No.3, Uniform Girls Vol.2 No.4 and Blushes Supplement 25 are all available to download by clicking on the highlighted links.
Back in the middle of March readers of this page will know that we published Jon Rayworth’s Janus Database of models and photostories. It was a good job we named it version number 1.0 because since then huge steps have been taken towards creating a truly comprehensive record of Janus models and their wider modelling careers. Thanks to the very great efforts of Clive Greenway, Jon’s original database has been taken to a whole new level! Clive has added two additional spreadsheets which enable users to search by issue number and model name. He has included details of each model’s non-Janus modelling career (where that information is known) and comments about their appearance.
Our thanks to Clive for all his hard work. This database will always be a work in progress though. Can you help us update it further? We’d love to hear from you. You can email Jon Rayworth at archive@janusworldwide.com
The Excel database can viewed by clicking on the link below and downloaded by right clicking on the link and selecting ‘Save target as’.
Back in 2011 we featured a few spanking photos from the Janus 143 photo fantasy ‘Dealing with Dowling’. We were recently contacted by Les, a long-time customer, who was hoping we might be able to re-visit this photo fantasy and perhaps include a larger selection of unpublished photos. We’re happy to oblige! Les was able to confirm that Nikki Dowling is also known as Sandie and has modelled more widely under this name. Thanks to him we have added this information to the new Janus Database. (Details of how to view or download the database can be found in the post above.)
We hope you enjoy seeing a few more images (including a lovely out-take) from this popular photo fantasy. To see more of Nikki’s punishment you can download a copy of the magazine by clicking on the highlighted link. Don’t forget you can view hundreds of images from the Janus archive that have appeared in previous posts by visiting our Free Spanking Photos page. If there are any particular photo fantasies you’d like us to feature on this page in future drop us a line at archive@janusworldwide.com
We were recently contacted by a reader with a wonderful spanking memory of Janus 132. We’ve added this recollection to our Janus Spanking Memories Page but we also felt it was worthy of inclusion here:
“Years ago while based in East Asia I was sent to work in Sydney for a month, and came across Janus issue 132 in a used bookstore. I enjoyed the story of the village disciplinarian and was captivated by the models, Natalie and Tara, both so utterly adorable. While in Sydney I befriended a pretty young woman and she agreed to a fantasy spanking, her first ever, and was curious about it, plying me with questions. What better way to explain than to show her this story in Janus. At my request she read it aloud, with occasional gasps of amazement and delighted giggles. A happy memory indeed. Thanks so much for that photo story, and for the wonderful additional pictures. Sorry to read that Hilary has passed away. If you are still in touch with Tara and Natalie please pass on my thanks for the sprinkle of magic they gave that fantasy and others they appeared in.”
If you have any Janus Memories you’d like to appear on the site then just email them to archive@janusworldwide.com
We are often asked by new visitors to this site who are discovering the delights of UK spanking magazines for the first time, ‘what should I download first?’ Of course, that’s a difficult question to answer because so much of it depends on individual taste. However, we asked our resident archivist, Jon Rayworth, to pick six magazines that would be a good starting point for those new to all this wonderful material. Here then are his ‘six of the best’:
Janus 15 was the first issue to be produced by the new editorial team where all the popular and successful elements of the Janus formula clicked smoothly into place. It includes a beautifully shot, severe photo fantasy about a shoplifter who is prepared to accept the cane as an alternative to the law. The legendary Paula Meadows contributes artwork that perfectly compliments some excellent fiction plus the St. Winifred’s trilogy of spanking films gets a full review and photo spread.
Janus 19 was another popular early edition and it is the most downloaded spanking magazine on the site. The ‘schoolgirls’ special contains two severe photo stories. ‘Polly’s Punishments’ and ‘Schoolgirl Screen Test’ are among the best photo fantasies the magazine produced and are matched by the quality of the three original pieces of fiction, all of which are on the same theme. There are also some wonderful colour photos of reader and regular contributor Lynn W in her school uniform at the back of the magazine.
Blushes was renowned for it’s evocative photographic style and ‘girl next door’ models. Blushes 3 is a showcase for these qualities and much more. We follow the punishment of one young lady (who was to become Sally in the film ‘Sally’s First Lesson’) throughout a 24-hour cycle. Poor Sally is punished in the bathroom, the garden, the parlour, the sitting room and first thing in the morning, in the bedroom. The punishments of other young ladies in domestic situations are also featured along with some appropriately themed fiction. A true collectors’ edition.
There were so many wonderful issues to come out of the Blushes stable but Uniform Girls 18 may have been the best of the lot! If you enjoy seeing women in nurses’ uniforms getting their bottoms spanked and caned, this magazine is a delight from start to finish. Highlights include cherub-faced probationer Teresa Taylor undressing slowly for the cane, an agency nurse gets her comeuppance and a futuristic view of the profession is depicted in ‘Nursing 1995′!
The cover of Roue 8 depicts a young lady kneeling on her bed with her skirt up and her knickers down. To the outside world she is just looking out of her window, but we can see her bare bottom and we know she is waiting for her punishment. Early issues of Roue specialised in capturing the rituals of corporal punishment. Culprits are formally positioned, knickers are carefully removed and the fear and anticipation is etched on the faces of those awaiting their sanction. This issue is a good example of Roue at the peak of its creative power.
Roue 16 is a personal favourite. On the cover, a young woman waits by a chair with a cane hanging off the back of it. Inside, knickers round her knees, she looks back at us with a mixture of shame and dread. The magazine contains an eclectic selection of secretaries and ‘school girls’ most of whom take their own knickers down for punishment. The photos of the secretary accompanying the story ‘Kathy’s Uncle’ are burned on my brain since youth! The colour centre spread is also a delight.
If you are new to the world of vintage spanking magazines we hope you find these selections a good place to start. All these magazines can be downloaded by clicking on the highlighted links.
