Bound for glory? Kroll knows his work's explicit, so please don't call it porn

Eric Kroll has no interest in photographing nudes. But show him a woman in fur-lined panties and extreme heels bound to a chair — with her consent, of course — and he's all eyes.
"I don't think my work stood out until I started using elements that really turn me on — high heels, stockings, vintage girdles," says Kroll, a San Francisco photographer who specializes in fetishistic erotica with a sense of humor.
Best known for his 1994 coffee table book "Fetish Girls" — published by Taschen, it has sold some 200,000 copies — Kroll composes kinky art pictures noted for the rich mix of accoutrements with which he adorns his models: black leather gloves and red rubber corsets, fencing masks, cactus needles, cellophane, ballet shoes, bird seed, custom-made harnesses and underwear sewn together to fit two.

S&Mers: Head to Massachusetts!

Tuesday's 4-3 ruling of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, declaring that homosexual couples are legally entitled to wed, should provide an absolute bonanza for the Eulenspiegle Society's national headquarters for sadomasochists in Manhattan's Greenwich Village.
This ruling, forbidding any "second-class citizens" will surely allow sadomasochist marriages as well as sodomist ones.
The sadomasochist wedding – approved by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court – leads to demands not only from sadomasochists, but from the pedophile pederasts of the Massachusetts-headquartered North American Man/Boy Love Association – as well as that bestiality website in Missouri: "Man's Beast Friend."
Welcome to New Morality in Massachusetts.

Investigators cite inappropriate sexual conduct
by Sean Robinson and Martha Modeen
The News Tribune (Tacoma, WA)
November 18, 2003
State investigators unraveling the David Brame scandal spoke to at least seven current and former Tacoma Police Department employees about potentially improper sexual activity among department employees.
A 23-page report released Monday cites numerous examples of inappropriate conduct. State investigators mention "sexual liaisons" and "sex clubs" attended by members or former members of the department.
Investigators want to know whether membership or participation in such clubs affected promotions and decision-making during Brame's administration. They have recommended an upcoming internal review of the Police Department to examine those questions.
The News Tribune has learned that a high-ranking commander in the Police Department might have encouraged David Brame to participate in extramarital sex, and, while on the job, spoke of recruiting the chief and another officer into a Snohomish County "swingers" club.

Free Iowa State from Bondage
By Hans Zeiger
MichNews.com
November 15, 2003
In 2000, students at Iowa State University founded the Cuffs organization to celebrate the deviant sexual practices of "bondage", "discipline", "dominance", "submission", "sadism", and "masochism". Without actually explaining the unexplainable, it is enough to say that the activities that Cuffs engages in include painful flogging, leather fetishes, "kinks", and sexual assault. And on Thursday, the Iowa State Government of the Student Body endowed Cuffs with special funding.
By a vote of 21-9, the student government approved a special printing and advertising allocation for Cuffs. In the past, Cuffs has been the beneficiary of thousands of dollars in student body revenue.
Cuffs is symbolic of America's growing decadence. In what is perhaps the most basic summary of moral relativism ever written, the Cuffs mission statement says, "We believe that everyone is entitled to determine where their own personal limits are, to adjust those limits at any time, to withdraw previously given consent at any time, and to have their limits respected by others." In other words, there are no limits.
And nothing could more succinctly express the moral confusion of Cuffs than this line from the Cuffs website: "BDSM [bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism] is the polar opposite of abuse." Perhaps in the warped lexicon of the cultural Left, abuse is defined as the stigmatized inability of a person to express their "identity" openly. Or maybe abuse means that a person is oppressed by their adherence to a rigid moral code. Or perhaps it is even the loving, caring traditional marriage relationship of a man and woman.
