Though the sepia and black and white images here may seem somewhat "quaint" compared to the full technocolor portrayals that clutter the net, but make no mistake, these are serious BDSM sexual activities. These people were very interested in their sexual lifestyles and these types of photographs are not easy to come by. The costuming is as varied as the sexual practices, which is one of the great sensual charms of these retro BDSM images. And they were no strangers to harder and more extreme forms of sado-masochistic sexual fetishes you can see at the links below.
