Don’s Degradation: A Tale Of Two Newlyweds is dated to 1964 by Eric Kroll’s The Art Of Eric Stanton: For The Man Who Knows His Place (Taschen, 1997, pp. 168-171). The 1980 Stanton Archives Catalogue advertised it as item 216 for $10: “A reissue of an old book in mimeograph by Stanton. An often requested edition of the utter humiliation of a male in bondage. 11 illustrations on 5½ x 8½ with 16 pg. story.”
Colour versions of seven of those illustrations are reproduced in The Second Book Of Stanton: Dominant Amazons Bound Babes & Battling Femmes (Glittering Images, 1997, pp. 70-73), all but one of which – wife gagging husband with a stocking – are also in the Kroll book on less glossy paper. Six of them form a sequence in which the wife, initially clad in an elegant black dress and long matching gloves, systematically beats the crap out of hubby with fists and belt buckle for criticizing her slovenly housekeeping.
The seventh is clearly later than the others, as his buttocks bared for punishment show no trace of the damage already inflicted. The wife is commending his newfound submissiveness to a caller on the telephone: “… Yes, why don’t you drop over? I’ll let you see what a husband really is, when properly trained!”
