You had to send for a list of films and the VHS tape you wanted was then posted out in brown jiffy bag. There was no web site either, the world wide web was in its infancy, so the videos were marketed via advertising in Gay Times and other publications. However, 1993 was when Sting was officially launched as Male Spanking video provider.Ĭompetition was sparse back then with only a few US based male spanking studios, of which our friends at Man’s Hand Films is the only one remaining from that period, with almost nothing of note left within Europe.īack in those early days how was it done you ask without the ubiquitous handy-cams so much used today? It just so happened that Rich was working professionally in the film and TV industry so early shoots were made possible with borrowed and expensive cameras, which had enough quality to make high end video. In fact some Sting videos are even older than that! Parts of the content in the famous “Punishment Book” series were actually shot in the 80s. Many youngsters today actually wouldn’t know what a VHS Cassette was but they were cutting edge at the time. Yes, it really has been 25 years! Sting Pictures posted out their first VHS cassettes in 1993.
