…courtesy of Ron’s Log, a bit of gay history that is definitely NSFW (in case your co-workers or boss are speed readers over your shoulder) and which may squick some of you (it’s about the Catacombs, a fisting club in San Francisco, circa 1978, and thus pre-HIV) but is fascinating nonetheless. There is a tantalising sentence at the end: ILLUSTRATIONS, which, sadly, is only an illusion.
This is a big part of Leather/BDSM history, too, of course.
It’s still a lived reality for many.
Well, of course.
🙂
…and I’ll do my bit in making sure it’s not forgotten that our modern more general Scene is the offshoot of a part of gay men’s history.
