Background

Born 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]

Death

Gord died on 3 September 2013, at the age of 67. [7] [14]
