For me, personally, the best recent find from my unpublished book of male bondage accounts was this interview I conducted back in the 1980s with the late and much lamented Jim Stewart, founder of Fetters. If Jim alone was not the single person most responsible for inspiring the modern bondage movement, he is certainly one of its gods, justly deserving pride of place in its pantheon. I'd completely forgotten I'd ever done this interview, which at the time I'd simply titled
INTERVIEW WITH A BRITISH BONDAGE FANATIC
Q. How old were you when you first became aware of your interest in bondage?
A. Interest and awareness of interest are two different things. I think the more I became aware of bondage the more I realized that certain experiences in the past were connected with it.
