Jim Stewart

I learned today that Jim (Maurice) Stewart has passed away.

JimStewart_01Jim, who was a writer, playwright and producer, founded Fetters in London in 1976, which is now an internationally known source of efficient physical restraint equipment and other erotic fetish gear. Fetters was inspired by Jim’s profound interest in Harry Houdini and escapology. Jim had a website, called Houdini Connections.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jim when he came to present at GMSMA in New York City in the mid 1990s. Since then, we had been regular correspondents via email over the years.

He will be missed.

Cruising

Cruising Al PacinoDid anyone ever see the movie Cruising with Al Pacino? Apparently this movie was quite controversial when it came out — according to the Back in the Gays website, some of the interior shots were made to look like the legendary Mineshaft sex club.

Anyway, a local friend of mine told me this true story of his PARENTS taking him and his brother (both of whom turned out to be gay) to see Cruising when they were kids:

My father, with the misguided idea that the movie was about “cars cruising” took my gay brother, my mom and me to see this movie. My brother and I had boners the entire film, and my parents sat there in utter shock. A great childhood memory!

Hey Metalbond!

I have been a longtime fan of your site. Thanks for posting such great stuff. I was recently collared by a SIR for the first time. My time with him has been out of this world! He came to visit me in NYC this weekend, and we went to the top of the Empire State Building. I know you have been asking for some pictures of boys in collars. Well, here I am at “the top of the world!” It was such a great experience to share with my SIR. Hopefully there are many more experiences just like it to come.

Feel free to post the picture if you like.

Keep up the great work.
