CJLL #7


A 1750s engraving picturing a devilish figure with tail, horns, and mustache hammering his cock like a blacksmith to make it longer, one would assume.

 The Cully Flaug'd and a torturous looking orgy



Historic sex toys from the 1700s (two dildos) auctioned off for over $5,000 - Ever wondered if people masturbated in the 1700s? Well they did, and they did it with tremendous kink. 



 A tower of ladies getting hit with a birching, and another dirty picture from the 1700s with a bonus hairy cock-shaped lantern on the wall.



Seventeenth century Japanese Natsuke Figurines (rope bondage)


Renaissance Royal Revels - 15th century - looks to me like pony play with a bridle and whip; A sketch taken from Last Judgement 1541 - that may show anal fisting; 1600s woodblock - Pan's got a boner

Carter - Johnson Leather Library #1 - Pins

Over the next month or so I'll be posting pics of what I saw at the Carter-Johnson Leather Library while it was visiting the Washington, D.C area.

If you have anything BDSM or Leather related that you would like to pass on, please contact the Library.  It is documenting history, and if you are reading this, you are part of that history.

In addition to magazines, newspapers and rare books, the Library collects memorabilia including lots and lots of pins.
