Aw sweet!
Most if not ALL of the comics people I've met in the industry are
perverts, some of them NOTED perverts. I have no doubt it's been that
way from the Golden Age to the present--it just naturally goes hand-in-
superhero-glove with the ability to illustrate your every fantasy, I
guess.
William Moulton Marston, the creator of the original WONDER WOMAN, was
a bondage enthusiast, too. Hence her "Magic Lasso" and people getting
tied up all the fucking time:

Plus he was a psychologist living in a triad relationship with two
women in the 1940s, so that kinda makes him the king of the crazy sex
fucks to me.
I think Joe was just doing it for the money. He was pretty much
blacklisted by the comics industry at the time. Convinced by DC's
constant insinuating that he couldn't draw any more. Which obviously,
based on the evidence, wasn't true.
The stuff is pretty tame by today's standards. Doesn't hold a candle
to Bill Ward for kinkiness. Just naked women running around with
whips in their hands. Seen worse in a Britanny Spears video.

They get their kicks drawing guys in their underwear fighting crime,
tying/being tied up by villains, and people have to ask?
It's like that routine about the gay bashers, where you ask them if they
watch porn. Almost universally they prefer watching a guys hairy ass bobbing
up and down while shagging them.
Good lord (choke!) people are idiots at times.
Or Will Elder, or Wally Wood for that matter.
