Back in the 70s, there were a lot of baby boomers who liked sex generally. Free love and all that. They were experimenting with sex in all sorts of ways, some of them took bondage as just another form of sex, and sex was good. Therefore ...

And I agree with you, the 70s were different things in different media in the U.S. As you noted, comic book covers for Conan got wild, with naked or half-naked cuties in chains adorning some of them. And the movies were going great guns, with all three of the Ginger movies (1970-1973) and the Story of O (1975, thought it was a French production and probably didn't make it to the US until 1976) and Deep Throat (1977). You can hardly call that heavily censored.

As far as bondage goes, the early 70s was the heyday of the "roughies" as they were called, hardcore or softcore films depicting assault, rape and bound sex (I wouldn't call it sexual bondage, as I tend to associate that with consensual activities, which these generally weren't). Paolo's "Hot Spur" caps show an example, as do the Ginger movies, though it was a lot slicker than most roughies.

But TV was still under the bootheel of the network censors. For all practical purposes, for most of the 70s, there were no cable TV networks. Just the three biggie TV networks and maybe HBO. TV operated under the "public airwaves" theory, which for some reason meant it could be censored.

I guess for me the best example of that would be that in 1970, Barbara Eden's harem girl costume for her role in "I Dream of Jeannie" was required by censors to keep her navel covered. It was about the most concealing harem girl outfit ever, sort of the thing a very shy harem girl would wear to keep the sultan from picking her on a Saturday night.

Contrast that with all the nude bondage sex in the Ginger movies and the explicit stuff in Deep Throat, and you'll see that network TV, which is about the only kind of TV there was back then, was WAAAAAY more censored than movies, comics or books. It was a whole different ball game.


> You & me, yeah. The people that would go to Ginger
> movies, yeah. What you meant, correct?

IIRC the Ginger movies did a lot of business in drive ins where they were undoubtedly make-out movies. They wouldn't have been confined to the bondage niche. Back in the 70s, a lot of things passed for mainstream that aren't now. Them ovies had a lot of sorting out to do.

Re: The Crossdresser One?

=========================
Record number: 13115

Title: Die Schatzinsel (2007)
Medium: TV Movie
Actress: Diane Siemons-Willems

Description: This strange version of the "Treasure Island" adds a female perspective. Fortunately so, there are quite some nice tie up situations with thath would-be pirate:

In the first part, she is tied with her hands above her head to be whipped (which doesn't happen)

In the second part, she spends quite some time with her hands tied behind. Later she is suspended with spread arms and some nut stuffs her mouth with lettuce.
===================================================


Again, confused with the language barrier. Just want to clip this for Brian & the boys! arrgghh! ;)

"Teil 1" - So she's on the boat dressed like a boy?

The pirates were on a boat, got off on an island that had some Rambo movie type stuff going on, then back on the boat

"Teil 2"
***** In the second part, she spends quite some time with her hands tied behind. *****

Okay, we got (a guy?) climbing up the crow's nest chased by a guy I'll dub "Mr Tattoo-head". Whilst Mr Tattoo-head is climbing, there a Black Swan like scene going on in the cabin. I thought it a guy, or putz, or what?

Mr Tattoo-head gets shot, guy (shooter) climbs down and unties person in cabin, then goes looking for small boat and a gal that looks like Diane Siemons-Willems shows up and has a gun on the guy. They jump in the water then he's a guy scene/putz whatever?


This would all make sense if I knew the language, but I don't. So any volunteer to help make the clip?
Thanks

"Baby Boomer" bah,
prefer good ol' "Me Generation: That Never Did Without & No Discipline" ;)

Everybody liked sex and experimented, but the "Me-Boomer" are only getting brave and admitting to it "now", not then.
Ginger & the Roughies Adults Only in the 70's Drivin, same as that post-war stag stuff. No different.

I say this as had a real cool teacher in Business class around 79 that had a Marketing guy in, letting us ask what we want and he said the 70's one of the most conservative times and they market to that.


Pick your Pofz forum if you want to continue that..


Btw: As a guy that liked to watch porn, bondage scenes, etc, that was a great day watching that marketer point out how conservative they were. Got quite heated, but it needed to be said. ;)

Scenes in any of the Bloodfist movies?
The database has nothing, but I could've sworn someone mentioned a while back there being a scene in at least one of the films. I ask because the local CD Warehouse has most of them for sale for cheap.

Well, you're right, although the online summary I read indicated that there was a lengthy and extensive whipping scene of a servant who attempted to poison Valeria. Or someone. I mostly remember the dinosaur and the the fighting in the halls of the mostly empty city.

Looks like they're going to do an animated Red Nails feature film (see homepage link).

Yeah, it's been in the works for a couple of years, and every time I give up on it ever happening, some new bit of news or some new artwork pops up. But as long as they leave in the Valeria-Tascela scene, I can wait.

They're not brave now either, it's still very underground. I have friends in the art scene in NYC and that's the only place it comes out in any sophisticated sense (we are not interested in porn), and even then it's discussed as art only and if it gets personal it's dicey and hushed and a little "weird".

In the 70's it was more open but only because most people were cluless and didn't understand it so they didn't rail against it so much, you were "far out" then, now you are "creepy". You could say to someone, a girlfriend for instance, let's try this and it would be a "creative experiment', you can't do that now, people are much more informed and not in a a good way (they are fearful).

Romantic, or adventurous DID stuff in media, like we (most of us) like here, is still very hidden and personal and will be so for a long time. It's a chore to put it in art in it's pure form (meaning sexual and liberated) and it's a drag trying to disguise it; it never works. My friends and collegues are either total freaks and don't care what anyone thinks of them or they completely hide their erotic fantasies and keep it out of their art. There doesn't appear to be a (easy) middle ground the likes of which this thread is exploring.

My girlfriend told me there's a line in Art School Confidential, where someone is describing the cliches you meet in art school: 'there's the guy who only draws women in bondage'.


Who in the world are you dating, dude? Lots of women are into bondage. Its never been more open than it is now. Any time they have a little thing on morning talk shows where they talk about how to spice up your marriage, they get out the furry handcuffs. Eva Longoria goes on about how much she likes it. Hell, didn't Meredith Viera go on about it?

In the late seventies, there was a big antiporn movement that claimed S&M was 'violence against women'. That movement has pretty much collapsed. Now tying up your partner is one of the lesat weird things you can do together.

Okay, just quick - may Pofz this if Pat Powers wants to go? ;)

What I more on about,
we had a late 70's early 80's club band called Rough Trade here featuring Carol Pope. Her "alternative" as described, leather outfits, lyrics, etc would get her into trouble all the time.
CBC interview shows,
Carol would come on, lose the leather in favour of a pink dress. Maneuvering to keep the conversation on her a typical gal from Scarborough and away from her SM & lesbian lyrics. Quite the stickhandler, it worked. Changed "let's see the freak" to "she actually appears normal" by the end of the interview. It humourous ;)

I read a Kinkynapper post over on Pofz, about a rock star gal that obviously out of song ideas and suddenly a "bondage interest" comes out of nowhere. A lesbian fling can't be far behind. ;)

Though I doubt the rock star's "interest", sort of see it as braver due to the time. That wouldn't have been mentioned in 79

Wasn't talking about real life and girlfriends, I was talking about how hard it is to do it well in mainstream media (because people are still uptight about it).

Re: Phyllis Coates
I have been crazy about the lovely Phyllis Coates ever since viewing "Claw Monsters", the TV-movie version of "Panther Girl of the Kongo", way back in 1971, when I was experiencing the first stirrings of puberty. Man, did those knockout scenes send my hormones spiralling into orbit! Ah, the memories...

I even named my sexy black superheroine featured at my "Deviant Art" gallery after her character's nickname/alter ego in the movie, since "Phyllis Coates as Panther Girl" played a major role in the development of my "superheroine-in-peril" fetish. (My KO obsession predominates over my bondage fetish, but not by much!)

By the way,how skimpy/revealing were the outfits Ms. Coates wore as Lois Lane? I only have a very vague recollection of the 1950s Superman show! (Was not alive when it originally aired, but I did catch some repeats in my childhood.)

Not very -- very 1950s meaning hem to the knee, and usually narrow waisted jackets. However, she was usually in nice high heels, and she had great legs. Ditto for Miss Noel Neill in all of the above.

Lol, would love to hang that up on my wall. Now I'm tempted to track down the dvds...

Actually one critic I read put it best and IMO most accurately: He stated how he was an old school roman catholic like his father that really bought into the story of christ 'suffering for the sins of man' so for Gibson it was allegorical -- of course it's easy to note how narcissitic that makes him but I truly believe in this case (and his drunken rantings during a DUI stop) his on-screen suffering is a reflection of his religious beliefs and not homoerotism.

She was Lois Lane from 1951 to 53 when the show had a much darker, more criminal edge to it, and was in black and white. When I was a kid in the early 60's they showed mostly the newer color episodes but it was still my favorite show at the time. Once in a while they would show the old episodes and I remember one where Phyllis was kidnapped and tied up back to back with another woman in a cabin, they were both gagged OTM. They struggled around but couldn't get loose, i remember Phyliis was wearing a cardigan sweater over camping clothes (it was one of those episodes in the country) and it sort of freaked me out because she usually wore suits with long skirts. All of those outfits now seem like fetish clothes to me, and I think that's pretty cool. She had a sexy body and a really pretty face, I wish she had been Lois Lane for the whole run of the show.

May have been: episode 6-"A Night of Terror" (10/24/1952)
Lois Lane is vacationing in Canada when she's kidnapped by gunmen. Jimmy tries to help her, but gets captured as well. Have never seen a still of the scene.
