The genesis of the B&D newspaper is traceable back through the linage of B&D Magazine publishing to the 1930s. During the 1920s & 1930's "London Life" was published in England & distributed worldwide, while not specifically a B&D Fetish magazine, It was the first internationally distributed magazine to have a regular & sizeable B&D and fetish section. The artist & publisher John Coutts (aka John Willie) was a regular contributor.

In 1946, John Willie first published "Bizarre", considered to be the first dedicated B&D Fetish magazine. By the early 1950s (1951-55) Irving Klaw was publishing his Nutrix Booklets and by 1954/55 Lenny Burtman was publishing Exotica (1954) and Exotique (1955) magazine. With the advent of Lenny Burtman's publishing enterprises (against a backdrop of obscenity cases) the B&D / Fetish magazine market grew manifold and the demand seemed to grow year by year.

In 1968, a New York publisher by the name of Al (Alvin) Goldstein published "Screw Magazine", a porn tabloid newspaper.
