Way back in 1981 I was a youthful 18 year old beginning to discover the joys of femdom. I'd bought my first ever copy of MSSM a few months earlier (Vol 1 Num 8) and had become quite a devotee avidly anticipating the arrival of a
new edition each month.
After work one evening I went off to the little bookshop that had a 'secret' shelf located at the side of the counter hoping to find the latest edition and was excited to see Vol 2 Number 4 waiting for me to snatch it up. I handed over my £1.50 and slipped the magazine in to my bag and set off to get the bus home.
By the time I got home I was full of anticipation and could hardly wait to devour the photo's, letters and stories waiting within ( as anyone of around my age will remember, in the pre internet era, you got 52 pages of femdom a month, that was your lot unless you could access harder to find titles like 'Madame', a different world from today where we all have unlimited access to as much as we care to consume 24/7, but I digress..)
As soon as I was safely in my room I opened the mag only to find that all of the colour photo's inside were of men spanking women! As I discovered later, I think there was a letter in a subsequent issue of MSSM, there had been a mishap at the printers, the colour section from that months edition of Swish! (Vol 3 Num 7) had ended up in MSSM and vice versa.
It was only several decades later when I was putting together digital editions of both publications that I had the opportunity to correct the error and both mags are now available with the colour sections that they were intended to have back in the day.
