Those of you who are regular readers of this site know that I am a huge fan of gay bondage porn.  Especially bondage STORIES!  That’s right, I just can’t get enough of really well-written bondage fiction — stories like Trust Us, Waiting for Ross, Danny in the Dorm and The Roommate, and even novels like Brig.

Here’s another thing: While I am not an old man, I am no spring chicken either.  I’m old enough to know what the world was like before cell phones and before cable TV.  There were three channels and if you wanted to see something else you had to get up and turn the knob.

The Internet?  When I was growing up nobody knew what it was.  If you wanted porn, you had to buy MAGAZINES in X-rated stores.  In the American Midwest, where I grew up, there were no gay adult bookstores.  You had to go to the straight “XXX” bookstore, located in a bad neighborhood downtown, and walk to the back, where they had a small section of gay porn mags with titles like Honcho and Inches. But there wasn’t much in the way of gay male kink.

Later, when I was in college, I discovered a little digest called Manscape, and also Drummer magazine, which opened up a whole new world for me. Fuck it was great.  I could read about all sorts of twisted ideas for gay male bondage sex.  When Bound and Gagged magazine came out it, was the greatest thing ever.  Another one of my favorites was Manifest Reader (pictured above).
