Wonder Woman's Secret Bondage Past

Moulton Marston created one of DC's flagship superheroes and its first female heroine, Wonder Woman.  He also seems to have had some sexual perversions.

Wonder Woman's first appearance was in All Star Comics #8 and then appeared in Sensation Comics #1. Six months later, Wonder Woman's own series of comics appeared.  One of Marston's main themes was bondage, as Wonder Woman always tied up her captured enemies with her lasso.
 
But she also got tied up herself - a LOT.  In almost all of Marston's Wonder Woman comics, you can find a full-sized panel of Wonder Woman in a bondage situation. Many of the covers during Marston's career featured men holding Wonder Woman in chains or shackles, or bound with rope.
 
Marston had described female behavior as submissive, though he had said in his interviews that being submissive to women could be a world-saving practice, creating a matriarchy.

Ready to bring Wonder Woman's love for bondage into your home?  Go high class, set the proper mood, and do it right from the very start with the following items:



  • The Essential Wonder Woman Accessories - This is the key to the fantasy in gfest's minds.  High quality replicas of the three most essential pieces of Wonder Woman gear - her tiara, her bracelets, and of course, the golden lasso.  I mean how are you going to recreate Wonder Woman in bondage without the lasso?

  1. Don't forget the little three way relationship going on with him, his wife, and the live in nanny. Polyamory before poly was cool.

  2. He also contributed to the invention of the Polygraph, interesting when you consider the Power behind Wonder Woman's lasso.

  5. I did a 15 page paper in college about how the real world and the comic book world interact with one another. I touched lightly on the bondage subject, considering the professor I had, but I did talk about how he helped to develop the polygraph, as well as his polyamorous habits.

    Cool tie-in, Alan Moore was also in a polyamourous relationship, but his wife and girlfriend ran off together.
