Info Out: The history of BDSM

REALLY looking forward to going to this with an elder kinkster friend of mine. The Art of Loving, a retailer of adult products here in Vancouver, presents the History of Consensual Sadomasochism, a presentation by Peter Tupper.

History like you never learned it in school! From the marriage rites of ancient Rome to the worldwide fetish subculture, the history of BDSM is full of fascinating characters and unexpected connections. Learn about the men who gave their names to sadism and masochism and the maid who proudly called herself a collared slave.

Peter Tupper is a writer and journalist, who has been involved in the Vancouver BDSM scene for twelve years and who blogs over at Beauty in Darkness. He also serves as the vice-president of Metro Vancouver Kink.
