Background
editBorn in the United Kingdom,[7] Gord described himself as a "mad bondage scientist".[8] He initially founded his own publishing company in 1992, publishing erotic books specialising in bondage stories. In 1997, he launched and maintained the website "House of Gord" on the subject.[9][10][11] His influences included Robert Bishop, Eric Stanton and John Willie.[12]
He stated that his first interest in fetish had been when, as a small child, he saw an actress on stage wearing tight lycra, and wished he could tie her up so that she could not move.[13]
Aaron Kunin has described Gord's vision of the human body as "as spectacular and thorough in its commitment to objectification as Busby Berkeley’s."[10]
