“Coulter came to IML as Mr. Texas Leather,” Mr. Wasdin wrote today on Facebook. “There were 44 contestants that year, and the devastation of AIDS was growing. Coulter embodied the IML ideal. He was top of his class in medical school, while traveling and fundraising during his title year. He became muse to many artists, and is one of the few models captured in works by Etienne, Tom of Finland, The Hun and photographer Jim Wigler.”

Dean gets tied up and tickle tortured

At Tickled Hard, Franco wraps Dean’s torso up in rope and lashes him to an old mattress for a nice long foot tickling. He removes Dean’s left shoe and begins the tickle with a small, hard hairbrush. Dean struggles, but he’s tied so tightly that he can barely lift his head to see what Franco is doing. From hard to soft, Franco uses one brush after another and his tickly fingers to drive Dean wild. When Dean reveals that the gentle tickling is the worst, Franco pulls out a feather and tickles him between his toes and on his sole. After a good brushing on the left side, Franco switches to the right, tickling Dean’s neck with the feather then going nuts on his bare right foot. Dean arches his feet and moans loudly as Franco gets into every possible nook and cranny. He struggles to catch his breath when Franco tickles both feet at the same time, then loses it at the end when Franco tickles deep in his bellybutton and armpits.
