Sadomasochism and the BDSM Community in the United States: Kinky People Unite chronicles the development of sadomasochistic sexuality and its communities in the United States from the post-war period to the present day. Having evolved from scattered networks of sadomasochists to a coherent body bound by shared principles of "safe, sane, consensual," activists worked to transform popular perceptions of their community, end its routine harassment by law enforcement and win inclusion in American society. Often paralleling the work of LGBTQ activists, people who engaged in BDSM (Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, and Sadism and Masochism) transformed both their own sexual practices and how outsiders perceived them, successfully changing popular perceptions of them from fascists, murderers, and outlaws to people living an alternative lifestyle. The development of this community highlights the interactions of people of different sexual orientations within a sexual community, the influence of various campaigns for sexual freedom, and the BDSM community's influence on popular perceptions of sexuality and sexual freedom. The text’s historical perspective gives depth and texture to a specific dimension of American history of sexuality. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in the history of sexuality. Its clear and direct approach offers an important and useful chronology of a movement that has long been neglected.

During the interwar years, a proliferation of violence encroached upon the glossy, idealistic world of fashion: from the curiously common appearance of dismembered heads in fashion illustration, to seemingly torturous techniques and devices advertised by beauty imagery, even extending to garments designed to look assaulted and destroyed. Danger in the Path of Chic brings this disturbing imagery to light for the first time, proposing new directions for historians of fashion, violence and culture in the interwar years. Concentrating on London, Paris and New York as fashion centres and political allies, the volume explores why horror manifested itself in this way, at this time, and in a sphere that is usually perceived as being built on fantasy and escape. In doing so, Danger in the Path of Chic situates fashion within the very real social, psychological, economic and political traumas of the period.

A provocative journey through human sexual history, packed with fun factoids and forgotten stories, from the historian and storyteller behind Kinky History, @esme.louisee on TikTok Contrary to popular belief, our predecessors had all sorts of obscene hobbies long before Christian Grey hit the scene. In this enlightening romp, learn about the first instances of homosexuality on record from the ancient world and the diverse history of nonbinary gender; encounter a thousand years’ worth of hilarious and horrifying contraceptive methods; consider the positive and negative effects of the widespread availability of pornography in the digital age—and how our relationship to it changed during the pandemic; take a sneaky riffle through centuries of bedside drawers; and discover the dirty little secrets of luminaries such as Julius Caesar, James Joyce, Albert Einstein, and Virginia Woolf. Esmé Louise James also identifies the key tipping points that directly inform current beliefs around sex to place the past in conversation with the present. By educating ourselves about the weird, wonderful, and varied spectrum of human sexuality and experience, we can normalize and destigmatize sex, write people of marginalized sexual identities back into the pages of history, and build toward a more liberated future.

'Dominatrix' (Volume 1), is an exploration into the largely hidden world of the sadomasochistic female, along with Volume 2, it offers the definitive and most broad-ranging international study of the subject ever undertaken. Conducted over a 10-year period, by the BDSM magazine publisher and writer, Roy Turner, these eBooks offer a full, frank and totally unique insight into the real world of the dominatrix, those who work within the 'sex industry', as well as those who live out the 'Fem/Dom' lifestyle in private. Mistress Antoinette reveals her Spanish clients were into 'religious' punishments whereas in England the number of men here who have a 'knicker' fetish continually amazes her. Interestingly enough, black knickers seem to be the big turn-on with men in England, whereas in Catholic Spain it is nearly always virginal white knickers that perhaps unsurprisingly, are the most popular. And, Mistress Brigitte of the Dutch SM-Studio Phoenix, who form a very happy extended S&M 'family' comprising of a married Mistress and Master together with their male and female slaves who live, work and play together. And even do the baby-sitting and the school-run! For the dedicated fetishist, no trip to the German city of Munich would be complete without a stopover at the studio of Lady Claudette; otherwise rather aptly named 'Bizarradise'. The true connoisseur of outrageous eroticism will find everything on offer and even the more unusual tastes happily accommodated in this liberal, or rather less conservative, oasis of traditionally ultra right-wing Bavaria. The no-nonsense, business like approach of Mistress Jacqueline, is typical of American dominants. Her autobiography, 'Whips and Kisses', as well as her many TV appearances, mail order company and lecture tours Jacqueline has established herself as quite a formidable force on the American fetish scene. Tokyo born Mistress Midori is the daughter of a Japanese mother and German-American father. Both her parents are university professors. Following a varied and successful career in the United States Army and in commerce, see how she found herself a professional dominatrix in San Francisco. As her name suggests, Miss Spiteful's interests definitely lean toward the hard-core end of the SM spectrum, including the nailing of foreskins to tables and the burning of swastika's into flesh with cigarettes. She is also a leading practitioner of the intricate art of Japanese rope bondage. Despite her predilections for the more extreme forms of game-playing, she strictly adheres to the limits of safety and consensuality, practicing her dungeon crafts in South London. Plus, many other revealing interviews with professional and lifestyle mistresses including the Chinese Dominatrix, Mai-Ling. Mistresses; Adelle, Andria, Christine Deering, Cassandra Payne, Dominique, Eva, Hades, Rowena, Xena. Goddesses, Venus and Dianna Vesta, plus Lady Amber and Madam Karra.

Gegenwartskunst ist mehr als schlichte Zeitgenossenschaft. Es ist eine neue Weise des Sehens und des Sichtbarmachens. Diesem Gedanken ist der radikale Wandel verpflichtet, mit dem die rumänische Kunst sich im vergangenen Jahrzehnt neu erfunden hat. Zu verdanken ist dies nicht nur etablierten Künstlern, die sich neue Ausdrucksmittel erschließen. Antrieb ist vor allem eine junge Generation rumänischer Künstler, die nicht mehr die direkte Erfahrung des Lebens und Arbeitens im Kommunismus gemacht hat. Ihre Werke artikulieren ein aktuelles Lebensgefühl samt seiner eigenen Wahrnehmung und Diskurse. Ein Hauptthema ihrer künstlerischen Produktion ist die Macht technisch vermittelter Bilder zur Kontrolle und Konstruktion von Realität und sozialer Erfahrung. Der prächtige Bildband nimmt diesen Schwerpunkt auf, um 29 der innovativsten Künstler und ihre eindringlichen wie faszinierenden Werke vorzustellen.
