Reference excerpt

London Life was a British fetish magazine that flourished in the period between World War I and World War II. It was the product of the merger of predecessor magazines including Photo Bits. In the years between 1923 and 1941, in addition to glamour photographs, popular culture and celebrity gossip, the magazine contained material on a wide variety of fetish topics, including bondage, tight-lacing, rubberism and human ponies, as well as a readers' letters section in which these topics were discussed. During this period, the magazine had an active role in creating connections in the worldwide fetish community. The artist John Alexander Scott Coutts, better known as John Willie, was inspired by London Life to publish his own fetish magazine, Bizarre. London Life ceased to contain fetish content after 1941, but continued to be published until 1960. The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction holds a collection of issues of both London Life and its predecessor Photo Bits.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with London Life (fetish magazine)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what London Life (fetish magazine) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to London Life (fetish magazine) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about London Life (fetish magazine) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.
