Donations arrive at SRC in many forms, and sometimes we cannot keep everything we receive. Our mandate usually makes it easy to separate out what should be set aside for deaccession... but perhaps I should make an exception this time.

Vinyl gloves are not strictly necessary for handling most print materials, but for photographing these items the precaution seemed sensible.

From the TRF collection.

In this time of heightened censorship and legislative threats to sexual expression, sexuality research is more important than ever. Make your fetish porn stash a part of archival memory! Whether you are a collector, a performer, a worker, artist, or advocate, your stories matter. -HC

Like Stanton, Bilbrew often depicted powerful, sinister femdoms, but took a particular interest in stories of submissive men forced to wear women's clothing. While "forcefem" art is not in itself trans representation, the genre remains meaningful to many trans* and gender non-conforming people. -HC

From the Forced Feminization Collection: Forced Femininity, a magazine published by Selbee Publications in 1963 featuring a comic by "bizarre art" pioneer Gene Bilbrew. A disciple of Eric Stanton, Bilbrew may have been the first African American artist to make a career in fetish illustration. -HC
