NY Times: Have You Been Naughty? Exploring the World of Corsets and Kink

Published on July 23, 2008 at 12:01 PM by tyler | Filed under CV in the Media | 1 Comment

I just stumbled across an old article in the NY Times featuring CV (you’ll need to log in with a free account to view the article). Legitimate journalism is so refreshing when remembering the stupidity that surrounded the Daily News incident (which still seems to pop up regularly on terrifying right-wing blog syndicates). Reporter Jennifer Bleyer wrote in this March 2005 article:

A lanky guy in jeans and a red T-shirt announced that he had recently had an “awesome” time learning how to play with needles. A young woman in a Columbia ’05 sweatshirt described her interests as “knitting, crocheting, flogging and bondage.” A studious-looking man in horn-rims identified himself as a “funny kind of sadist.”

Laundry lists of fetishes were ticked off as if they were top choices for graduate school. The group sidetracked into an erudite discussion of the psychological underpinnings of sadomasochism. Finally, club members got down to the business at hand, which was scheduling discussion topics, activities and outings for the semester.

  1. “A lanky guy in jeans and a red T-shirt announced that he had recently had an “awesome” time learning how to play with needles.”
