The
Masters and Mistresses Association

The Masters and Mistresses Association, often called the MMA, starts to get mentions in many of the then fledgling fetish and BDSM publications of 1970’s United Kingdom. Most of these publications were  very limited circulation magazines like Atomage and Smooth. However, they were well produced and were seen by a greater audience than their earlier underground  and under-counter predecessors.

These mentions portrayed the MMA as very much a secret organisation with a membership around the world of mainly wealthy individuals and couples with a broad range of fetish and BDSM interests. Basically kinky sex!

The publications spoke of a secretive MMA having gradually grown from a small group of Victorians in the mid to late 19th century in London to an association with hundreds of members across the globe by the 1970’s. Of course, back in the 1800’s the majority of Mistresses were professional dominatrixes serving mainly rich male clientele, and Masters were very much the rich, landed gentry types of the United Kingdom. Today, who knows how many members of the Masters and Mistresses Association there are across the world, but  one thing is for certain, it is as secretive as ever. Dominants abound in all levels of society!

So what has research in the 21st century discovered about the MMA today and its history going back over 150 years?

This website will share some of that research’s results in the form of images, texts and videos believed to be of the Association’s members and their activities from its early days to the present time.
