BDSM History & Memories: Notes from the Sexual Underground BDSM History & Memories: Notes from the Sexual Underground
@ Leather Archives & Museum
6418 N Greenview Ave, Chicago, IL 60626
Opening Friday, October 4th, from 2PM - 3:30PM
One time only opportunity! Meet the founder of People Exchanging Power, Nancy Ava Miller, with SM educator and former board member of Black Rose, Chris M as they present…
Curious about the kink community and history? Join in this lively discussion about life and love in the sexual underground during the long ago beginning years of organized BDSM in the United States.
Dominance/Submission! Cross dressing! Erotic fetishes and other salacious obsessions! Yesterday’s verboten perversions are today’s fashion statements manifested in body piercings and leatherware and bestsellers like Fifty Shades of Grey. Before the Internet, before the renowned protagonist Christian Grey, however, there was Nancy Ava Miller, the Johnny Appleseed of S&M, traveling throughout the land, creating BDSM support groups in Albuquerque, DC, Tucson, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, St, Louis, Baltimore, and Denver.
Hear all about it at this unique and FUN workshop which will reminisce about and explore our beginnings. What are your reflections and memories — fond or otherwise — of your own kinky odyssey? Let’s talk!
Nancy’s award-winning book, Pervert: Notes from the Sexual Underground, will be available for purchase after class. Memoir, history, anthology, photo album (with 101 pix of bygone people, places, and things, the dungeons of yore and the events that once upon a time rocked a culture).
