The legendary Insex.com creator PD provided a few lines of insight on his BDSM influences in a 2013 interview:
“My mother took me to see the Vincent Price movie House of Wax,” he says. “A woman is held down and covered in wax… You can imagine how that appeared to an 8-year-old boy.”
Later PD followed the work of pinup purveyor/Bettie Page promoter Irving Klaw and the fetish work of House of Milan and Sweet Gwendoline’s John Willie.
But it was after he dropped out of high school and joined the Navy for a 7-month destroyer deployment that he saw his first live bondage show in Tokyo.
“I had been through Guantanamo and Vietnam,” he says, “but to be fed sake by a giggling, tied-up girl influenced me. I was taking on the mantle of defending liberty in the Navy, and yet I saw how transgressive, taboo, and appealing this was.”
