BDSM History Event

Knowledge of one’s history I believe is extremely important, whether it be the history of your culture, or familiarizing with the birth-country of your parents – to understanding why we practice BDSM the way we do in many ways today. I very much wish I could attend this wonderful presentation, because it quite literally is a history of what I am…akin to living in the U.S.A. and knowing the history behind the declaration of independance. I’m glad that the BDSM community understands the importance of the history and the characters and that there are people out there committed enough to put together events like this!

“The Art of Loving presents the History of Consensual Sadomasochism, a presentation by Peter Tupper. 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 has been involved with the local BDSM scene in Vancouver for over 12 years and is the current president of Metro Vancouver Kink
