Red, when worn with right side apparrel and a thong tied tightly 1 W H Y around the neck can lead to trouble if one is not prepared. Then too, there are some people who seem to be classified as having a leather fetish. This seems to me to be directly associated with masculine image and identification with role. For example a person identifying with the female may enjoy wearing a masculine image because of the excitment of being two persons in one. Others feel it enhances their own idea of mas­ culinity. As to the others like those wearing white, baby blue, silver, or red leather 1 feel it is just thought of as "camp" and something to startle friends with at a smart leather dinner party or cocktail assemblage. Since leather is expensive it is most wise to first have a complete black leather wardrobe before attempting color. When dressed for the bar, leather should always be black in total. Never, but never mix brown with black. It is bad taste and hindrance of total image. Many persons outside the ieather circuit think that the sport of S&M is perverted and insane. All of course have their own preferences in the art of love as those in the art o f S&M. The Marquis deSade was a prolific writer. Many thought him to be insane and many thought him to be a genius. His literary skill certainly has style and unqualified imagination. Each of us has a bit of the Marquis in him. This can be attested by the crowds attending automobile collisions, fires, watching or murder and torture on television, the popularity of the tabloids and detective magazines. It is most radically seen by thrill-seekers in the audience of a good horror film especially if in color. Throughout history, man's sadism has been surfaced by the Circusses in Rome, the torture chambers of Philip 11, "Whats a Machiavelli, Charles IV, the Henrys of England, the crowded guillotine executions during the French Revolution, the Inquisition, torture and murder by the Christians to the Moslems and vice versa... the list can go on in- definetely. nice boy like me Sadism and Massochism has always been in existence. It is a part of human nature. All people have these qualities. Some less than others and some, more than others. Perhaps this is why sadism and massochism exists today.

The qualification for judgement must arise from the context of the act itself. It can be good, bad or indifferent, depending upon its participators, and participation "inside the circle". tied to a stake The first and most important factor in an S&M relationship is the element of trust. Each partner should receive satisfaction from his "role" during the act.
