The rest of the documentary consists of the following eight chapters:
 * Slaves
 * Mistresses
 * Rubber fetish
 * Wrestling fetish
 * Corporal punishment
 * Masochism
 * Infantilism
 * Socio-political fetishes

The film was produced in the United Kingdom and was originally made for HBO. It was released in the United States on DVD, (runtime 84 minutes, in colour), and more recently as part of Nick Broomfield's 'Documenting Icons' box set. A full, uncut version with additional archive material is also available in the UK.
