Taking Pleasure In The Beauty Of Restrained Women
Models today complain about riggers who trap their hair in tape or let a gag get dirty and that must have been more common back in 1981. I hope tape removal was not too unpleasant.
I know it’s not always sweetness and light on BDSM movie sets today and there have been some scandals for sure in recent years about model mistreatment. But my overall impression is that overall standards of professionalism towards the models are lightyears above what they were in the 1980s. Somewhere in my archives here I have an interview with “John Blakemore” — one of the many names of the man who did all the roughie loops for California Star slash House of Milan — in which he casually admits to just raping (although he does not use the word and clearly did not conceive of his actions in that way) one of his tied-up models after he finished shooting the movie.
I also wonder what was the state of the art for bondage tape in the USA in 1981? Most riggers in photos used clothesline or hemp rope from a hardware store.
