October 1980 Special Temporary Extra Issue No. 6

This October 1980 special temporary extra issue of Specialty S&M is an overwhelmingly photographic publication organized around staged bondage, restraint, corporal torment, humiliation, and eroticized endurance. The cover identifies it as Special Temporary Extra Issue No. 6, while the interior also labels it the third 1980 collection. A formal contents spread near the front divides the publication into an opening illustrated feature, a long color-photo sequence, a later monochrome photo gallery, a reader-submitted secret-photo section, and an overseas S&M report. The issue begins with Yamaguchi Tsubaki's illustrated Secret Diagrams of Sensual Pleasure and Shame, a sequence of line drawings concentrating on stylized bondage positions. This is followed by Kurosaki Sensui's Reflections on Female Seppuku, a short photographic and textual feature using ritualized abdominal cutting as its central fantasy. The large color section then develops a succession of staged scenarios: a married woman named Kue subjected to bondage and breast torment; candle and suspension scenes; inverted suspension; enema imagery; forced postures; outdoor bondage; and photographed sessions featuring Akiko Honma and Shizue Takada. The color work emphasizes domestic interiors, tatami rooms, rustic buildings, and outdoor locations, frequently presenting the sequence as a progression of poses and techniques rather than as narrative fiction. The later black-and-white gallery broadens this documentary-performance style. Honeyed Banquet, Michiko's Thousand and One Nights of Loving Abuse, Secret Record of a Young Wife's Training, a women's sumo sequence, Long-Cherished Wish for Tight Binding, and Scenes of Tormenting Three Enslaved Women move between rope bondage, sexualized wrestling, restraint apparatus, marking, gagging, and posed humiliation. Subsequent features such as Portraits of Beautiful Women in Loving Abuse, Crotch Torment, Elegy, and Sweet Play Tied to Trees continue the emphasis on bodies arranged for photographic scrutiny, with settings ranging from bedrooms and tiled interiors to wooded outdoor sites. The closing portion is particularly important for the magazine's community identity. A Reader-Submitted Secret Photo Special presents amateur or privately supplied photographs credited to multiple contributors, including Akiko Honma, Misako Sano, and Eiji Hosokawa, among others. These pages shift the visual texture away from the more controlled editorial shoots toward personal collections and reader-produced material. The final Overseas S&M Play Information: America installment introduces foreign bondage imagery and commentary before an editorial afterword on the last page. As a whole, the issue functions less as a conventional article magazine than as an extended photographic catalog of contemporary S&M practices, fantasies, models, and amateur participation, demonstrating the central role of visual documentation and reader exchange in Specialty S&M's editorial identity.

The cover and colophon identify the publication as Specialty S&M Special Temporary Extra Issue No. 6 and date it October 15, 1980; the spine also carries VOL.6, while an interior title page labels it the third 1980 collection. Two source-numbered leaves, 126 and 127, are absent from the surviving numbered sequence, producing a discontinuity while the magazine otherwise continues normally. Several small Japanese captions and contributor names in the photographic contents are difficult to read with certainty; translations marked as approximate should receive human review before being treated as authoritative titles.
