The Leather Archives & Museum is seeking to compile resources about fetishes that we don’t usually hear about. We hope to expand our collections to cover a wider range of alternative sexualities.

We are interested in anything that has to do with unusual fetishes — objects, stories, pornography, erotica, websites, conversations — really, anything! Fetishes we don’t have much experience with include feet, fursuits, amputations, robots, dolls, balloons, tentacles, sneezing, crushing objects — but there are simply too many fetishes in the world for a comprehensive list.

We at the Leather Archives & Museum have plenty of experience with coming to terms with unusual sexual desires. Our goal is not to exoticize alternative sexuality, nor do we intend to shame anyone who discusses alternative sexuality with us. Our goal is to preserve the history of alternative sexuality — all alternative sexuality.

We respect your privacy. Anything you send us or tell us can be kept under your real name or a pseudonym, as you prefer.
The point person for this project is Clarisse Thorn, who can be reached by email at  clarisse at leatherarchives dot org. You can also leave her a voice message if you call the Leather Archives at 773.761.9200.

ABOUT THE LA&M: The Leather Archives & Museum is devoted to preserving the history of alternative sexuality. By sharing your experience with the Leather Archives & Museum, you will be helping us document sexual practices that are not widely recorded or understood. The Leather Archives & Museum is located at 6418 N. Greenview Avenue in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, IL, USA; you can visit the website at www.leatherarchives.org.

Crash Pad Series- Volume 5- The Revolving Door
Director- Shine Louise Houston
Studio- Blowfish Video/ Pink & White
Cast- August, Stacy Staxxx, Rex, Scarlett Chaos, Red, Cyd Loverboy, Kuma, Julie Warren, Shawn, Mickey Mod

Crash Pad Series, Volume 5: The Revolving Door is the kinkiest of the Crash Pad series so far and features lots of plays of dominance, submissive power struggles, switching and hardcore sex.  The cast consists of hot gender-fucking freaks, femmes-dykes, alt-queers, bois, butches, a trans-man and even a surprise ending between Crash Pad crush Shawn (Syd Blakovich) and a bio-guy.  With five scenes, various top/bottom scenarios, diverse body-types and looks, there is plenty of hot queer kinky porn for everyone.

Scene 1- August and Stacy Staxxx

Its August’s birthday and Stacy Staxxx throws her a hot party, with herself as the gift.  Stacy is a stacked, hot, alt-nymphet and August is a cute alt-dyke, both with nice tats.  Stacy begins by dripping birthday candle wax on August, and then ties her wrists to the bed.  Stacy then fucks herself on August’s faux cock.  The pair switch positions and August takes control, binding Stacy wrists, and then fingering her.  They end with August fucking Stacy doggie-style until she whimpers and moans in orgasm. Sexy!

Scene 2- Rex and Scarlett Chaos

Rex and Scarlett Chaos (aka Essin’ Em) meet up for some femme/dyke action.  Scarlett is bodacious and a Rex is very cute boi-dyke.  They make a good pair together and the scene has a lot of playful chemistry.  We start out with some spanking and some very passionate necking, and then Scarlett gets naughty and struggles a bit for dominance.  She’s what I call a SAM (smart-assed Masochist), who likes to be a saucy bottom.  But, Rex won’t have any of that and cuffs her to the bed post.  Rex uses a pinwheel on her, and then starts to finger her.  Scarlett pleads, “Please fuck me,” which Rex does hardcore and gives her a screaming orgasm that breaks the sound barrier. Scarlett reciprocates by giving Rex’s strap-on dick a wicked blowjob (something she does quite well).  Rex fucks her until she screams again, making for a hot, playful scene!

Scene 3- Red and Cyd Loverboy

Red’s a hot alt-femme-boi with killer tits and tats, and Cyd’s a playful butch-boi.  Cyd is the obvious bottom but likes a good struggle.  It doesn’t take long for Red to put her in her place though as she slaps her face, makes her suck cock, degrades her and calls her pain-slut and faggot.  There’s some chest punching, ass spanking, bondage, gagging, and all around rough play.  However, the scene remains pretty playful.  Red ass fingers Cyd, and then fucks her.  Later Cyd eats Red out and fingers her until she comes.  Then Cyd gets fingered and bites her hand as she orgasms.  Great chemistry!

Scene 4- Kuma and Julie Warren

Kuma and Julie appear to be a couple, or at least frequent play partners.  Kuma is a bald, bearded trans-guy leather daddy with lots of tattoos including a cool back piece.  Julie is a voluptuous bottom and Daddy’s good little girl. Kuma’s quite a loving sadist and amazingly skilled at percussion.  He wields two-fisted floggers on Julie’s back then her breasts.  Then it’s on to the nasty canes that leave nice red stripes on Julie’s thighs.  Julie then gets to suck Kumo’s cock for being “such a good girl” and is later fucked and fisted, until she asks permission to come.  Yes sir, thank you sir!

Scene 5- Shawn and Mickey Mod

For many films I don’t like to read about them, or even read the covers before I watch them, as it takes away some of the freshness and element of surprise.  Well, I was surprised when I saw this obvious bio-guy sitting waiting on a bed waiting for someone to arrive.  And, who walks in?  Crash Pad boi-crush Shawn (aka Syd Blakovich).  I’m floored and wonder how this is going to play out.  Mickey immediately takes the bottom role and starts sucking Shawn’s cock.  So, I think maybe this scene has a chance.  Then Mickey fingers Shawn while she sucks his bio-dick, and they make-out all sweaty and hot, and finally Shawn squirts in Mickey’s face as he comes.  Pretty feverish scene, and like Shawn says during the credits “if someone’s attractive, they’re attractive, and gender isn’t something you see with your eyes anyway.”  So while I was surprised to see Shawn with a guy, the scene works and is definitely hot.

There wasn’t one scene in the film that didn’t interest or excite me in some way.  I loved all the kinky exploration and playful S/m.  All the scenes had a nice build-up of momentum and chemistry between the players.  I especially loved the diverse array of bodies and shifting genders.  I hope Houston keeps adding more queer kink, interesting characters and maybe adds in an orgy scene at the Crash Pad someday soon.

You can get Crash Pad 5 and other films from the Crash Pad Series at Blowfish.com where you can also view the trailer.

“Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns” was not the first book I have ever read on BDSM.  When I first started getting interested in BDSM, the internet was my guide, some of it useful, some of it ridiculous, everyone had an opinion.  I then read “Different Loving” and “Sensuous Magic”, both excellent books relating to power exchange, the first being a series of “case studies” of real lifestylers by Brame, Brame and Jacobs, and the second a more subjective, yet open look into the BDSM lifestyle by sex radical, educator and writer Patrick Califia.

“Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns: The Romance and Sexual Sorcery of Sadomasochism” by Phillip Miller and Molly Devon is very subjective, written by a male dominant and submissive female couple and first published in 1995.  It has been hailed as the go-to guide into power exchange relationships and even the BDSM bible.  Today, the book is fairly dated as both the images and the text will attest, yet there is still a lot of relevant information inside.  It is written in first person as both Phillip and Molly write various parts of each section, each relating it to their personal experience and power dynamic.  The tone is friendly and tries to use humor quite a bit which tends to be a bit kitschy at times. The book is also a bit sexist, as Phillip seems to have his own ideas of male and female roles, including sections entitled: “Phillip’s Treehouse—No Girls Allowed” and “Molly’s Quilting Bee,” in which only the males or females in each relationship are supposed to read each part.  No doubt these dynamics work well for this couple and many others, but I found the tone, the sexism and the sometimes tasteless humor to be sometimes off-putting and found myself rolling my eyes a lot while reading it.

Having said that, this is a good introductory book for those searching to learn the basics of BDSM relationships, but it is by no means the BDSM bible.  It does teach many different aspects of the power exchange relationship, but bear in mind that it is subjective so to get a full education, read many books on the subject, learn from your own personal experiences and get a mentor if you can and come to your own conclusions.

What you will learn in Screw the Roses

Page from Screw the Roses

Chapter One defines the BSDM terms and roles, which is fairly basic, yet sometimes confusing.  It states the difference between a Top/bottom and Dom/sub and the interchangeability of these roles.  Chapter Two talks about communication and trust as well as the psychological aspects of a relationship, all practical advice and Chapter Three gives resources on where to find play partners (the internet!). Chapter Four discusses negotiations, levels in the power exchange (including unrealistic situations), and limits and has a sample negotiation questionnaire which has now become the standard.  Chapter Five delves deeper in the male/female roles and how men and women should connect with alternate aspects of themselves, ie: their anima and animus.  Chapter Six introduces the reader into various types of sensation, pain and edge play, whereas Chapter Seven and Eight are all about bondage.   Chapters Nine and Ten focus on percussion play and discipline, while Chapter Eleven deals with endorphins, pain as pleasure and sub-space.  Chapter Twelve talks about the more psychological elements of BDSM play such as verbal abuse, humiliation, and degradation.  The final Chapter gives you ideas on how to furnish your play space and the end of the book features a Glossary and several Appendixes with resources, many of which will be now obsolete.

Most of the sections are fairly comprehensive and most people, even advanced players will no doubt find useful information in it.  I especially enjoyed the part that described the Doms and subs you should avoid with monikers like: Divina Nolo Mentis, Autoerotico Fabula, Neandrathal Vulgaris, and Femme Desparata.  While these caricatures are tongue-in-cheek, it is amazing how you can find their likeness in “real” scene players so easily.  Another myth the authors discount is the 24/7 lifestyle Master/slave relationship which they say is too much pressure, unrealistic and unhealthy, and for the most part I’d have to agree.  I have rarely seen people live these roles constantly in a relationship and last very long.  Not to mention that relationships evolve and dynamics change.

So, there are some great pointers in this book, lots of useful info and plenty to read, if you can get past the POV, kitschy humor, and sometimes egotistical sexism.  And, don’t forget there are a lot of varying perspectives, so read other books on the subject, join your local BDSM group when you feel ready, and find a good mentor to help you learn the ropes.

Screw the Roses | BDSM | Sex Toys

In those heady, pre-internet days, when fetishes were buried deep, mainstream comic-books artists already provided a service of sorts to those who liked their sex lives spiced up with high heels and corsets. Wonder Woman not only had the requisite sexy shoes and bountiful bust, she also had a penchant for tying up her, usually male, adversaries in her magical lasso, rendering them powerless and unable to lie. She was created by the psychiatrist William Moulton Marston, who further defied convention by living happily in a polygamous and poly-amorous relationship with two women. How many young boys growing up in the 1940s and 1950s must have longed to have Wonder Woman fly into their bedrooms in her invisible plane, wrap her sexy rope around them and force them to admit what it was they really, really, wanted?

Marcus finally posts something about Dark Odyssey summer camp:

i kinda fell for this one.

i was at a kidnapping scene. i was asked to help kidnap some guy, by his girlfriend. fifteen minutes later, sixteen of us had covered his head, tied him up, and carried him off to an open pavilion. we took turns shoving about seventeen things into his various holes.

but as for me, well, i can’t be satisfied with the usual holes. i had to start fucking around with his ears and nose, too. while he was tied up, and girls and guys stuck dildos up his ass, and did stuff to his balls, i leaned forward and whispered shit in his ears. i blew on his eyes. and then i pushed my fingers up his nose and felt around the insides of his nostrils. then i made him suck my fingers clean. i’m just like that; i wanted to keep him guessing.

so anyway, i stand up – to wipe my hands down – and there, next to me, is this lovely thing. this cute little thing, she is clad in a black rubber mini dress, and she looks kinda tough. i say hi, and she says hi back, with this australian or english accent, i can’t really be sure.

Dear Fellow Leather Enthusiast,

If you haven’t already noticed, NYC, once known for its dynamic Leather and Fetish scene, is making a remarkable comeback and is back on the map. With our community growing stronger than ever, we thought it high-time to celebrate once again, and are happy to announce the launch of New York Leather Weekend,Columbus Day weekend, October 5-7, 2007.

The schedule is here.

There’ll be a street fair.

And they’ll need volunteers.

Dammit, I’m missing this. What should I do when I’m in SF?
