- I regret to say that Pat Bond, the founder of The Eulenspiegel Society in 1971, arguably the first modern kink organization, died on February 13th. RIP. Fifty years later, TES is still going.
- The Bad Books For Bad People podcast has an in-depth discussion of the 19th century Orientalist erotic novel The Lustful Turk.
- Another month, another celebrity sexually harasses women with their kinks, another necessary round of essays explaining that being kinky is not inherently non-consensual and consent violations are not necessarily vanilla. This time it’s actor Armie Hammer and his cannibal/vore fetishes. Both Evie Lupine and Morgan Thorne address the topic.
- Speaking of which, Pride Legal has a primer on BDSM and the law.
- Montecristo Magazine talks about the corset as a fashion item over the 20th and early 21st century.
- There’s a new non-fiction book coming Sadomasochism and the BDSM Community in the United States: Kinky People Unite, by history professor Stephen K. Stein.
