Unless the profit motive at the Guccione empire went soft, I'd say "market demand." I know that they were my wife's and my favorite stories and we devoured the annual (was it the June) edition devoted exclusively to the topic. We were fortunate: It fit us. Unfortunately, it didn't fit you.
Are you complaining about a kink? Here on Lit? WTF... Are you the prude police?
I'm complaining as a consumer, not a moral guardian. A single kink in which I had zero erotic interest somehow crowded out everything else.
Was it in the actual magazine or in the book ? Liked the magazine ones, but was less confident that the others in the books were actually letters.
What happened..... at least in my memory... was this. Once the ball was rolling and they realized there was a huge market for the books in adult bookstores.... they responded to requests or marketing feedback that they give people more of what they want..... and more and more.... all in the same publication or edition. So I recollect that the earlier ones were more like the magazines and had a variety of stories..... the later ones were more kink specific .... I remember seeing whole editions dedicated to group, or voyeur/ exhibition, or D/s perhaps. At the shop I went to there might be twenty of them...though clown sex was always more of a niche thing. So in later years, your interest might not show up at all in certain issues.
1985 and it was published unedited in the magazine
