The Best Laid Schemes
AU$50 Read MoreAdd to cartSam Ludwig
Hollywood: Private Edition Books, 1963.Bedside Books BB1337, the English edition of the Newsstand Library pulp. Cover illustration by Robert Bonfils. Lesbian pulp novel from the paperback original boom of the 1950s to the 1970s. Typically formulaic, issued in recognisable series with suggestive covers and titillating titles, most were written by men under female pseudonyms and marketed to men. A smaller number of authors, some of them lesbian or bisexual women (often also writing under pseudonyms), brought narrative sincerity and psychological depth to the same commercial format, and the books found a substantial lesbian readership at a time when few other depictions of lesbian life were in print.

The Little Big Penis Book
AU$30 Read MoreAdd to cartDian Hanson
Koln: Taschen, 2012.“”Sirs” begins the missive from our imaginary correspondent. “It’s not that I don’t love your original Big Penis Book, but that, perhaps, I love it too much. I now become anxious leaving the house without it, and long business trips are simply torture. Couldn’t you make a smaller, less obtrusive edition, still packed with men whose generative members measure over 8 inches, that doesn’t form a suspiciously large bulge in my carry-on luggage? And while you’re at it, could you make it highly affordable, since my pockets are as shallow as this premise?” Done! The Little Big Penis Book features over 150 massively endowed models from the 1940s through the ’90s, including photos by Bob Mizer of AMG, David Hurles of Old Reliable, Rip Colt of Colt Studio, Craig Calvin Anderson of Sierra Domino, Hal Roth of Filmco, Jim Jaeger of Third World Studios, Falcon Studios, Mike Arlen, Fred Bisonnes, Carlos Quiroz, and Charles Hovland in a compact and inexpensive format. Photos come not just from the original overstuffed 384-page edition, but from subsequent Big Penis Calendars, meaning that 30% of the content is unique to this edition. Add a reduced text to make more room for the stunning black-and-white and color photos and how could anyone-big, small, or just right-ask for a better deal?.” (publisher’s blurb)

Infantile Sexuality and Attachment
AU$60 Read MoreAdd to cartDaniel Widlocher
New York: Other Press, 2002.“We must agree, Freud wrote in 1905, that children’s sexual life, although dominated by the erogenous zones, also has components in which, from the beginning, other people appear as sexual objects. These people–the child’s relatives, caretakers, and mother in particular–are also objects of vital attachment. How can we differentiate between these two forms of connection that are so easily confused with one another? This controversy is as old as psychoanalysis, but recent challenging developments in attachment theory have made it impossible to maintain the traditional arguments. Commenting on a paper by Daniel Widlocher on the “eternal debate” between those who see asexual attachment as the earliest bond and those who see infantile sexuality as primary, eight major contributors to psychoanalytic child studies set forth the current state of thinking in both camps. With a preface by Jacques Andre and papers by Jean Laplanche, Peter Fonagy, Pierre Fedida, Jacques Andre, and Claire Squires.” (from jacket flap) Translated from the French ‘Sexualite Infantile et Attachement’ by Susan Fairfield.

Melbourne: Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne, 1997.“This thesis is about the sexuality of twelve young men. These men spent a part of their life, for some it was a significant part, in the Jesuits in Australia. When other young men in the 1970s and 80s may have been thinking about their lives in terms of studies, careers, relationships, and sport, these young men were thinking about priesthood in the Catholic Church. This contemplation is not exactly an Australian pastime. This group then constitutes an unusual group in Australian society…” (from introduction)

The Clyster: For the Connoisseur of Enema Delights (July 1989)
AU$300 Read MoreAdd to cartTrish Turner Labs
Sydney: Trish Turner Labs, 1989.Single issue of The Enema Fanciers Society quarterly newsletter, a Sydney klismaphile club run by Trish Turner Labs from a PO Box at Hurstville. The issue contains two pages of personals, two pages of letters, two further articles, and a one-page second instalment of a serialisation, stated to be by permission, of ‘Klismaphilia: Amplification of the Erotic Enema Deviance’ by Dr Joanne D. Denko (printed as Denco). Denko, a psychiatrist, coined the term klismaphilia in 1973, and this paper first appeared in the ‘American Journal of Psychotherapy’ in 1976. The back page states that the society was launched with a newspaper advertisement about eight months earlier, boasts that their file now includes 5000 names and addresses of interested persons, and announces the next issue for October 1989. The cover story continues from a May issue, so presumably at least one earlier number of the newsletter was published. Despite these markers, no other issues of the newsletter, or any record of the society or of Trish Turner have been traced by this cataloguer, the only record that can be traced is that of their registered company name being dissolved in a 1995 Government Gazette notice. Offered together with the newsletter is a membership application form. Membership offered the newsletter every three months, a three litre enema set, a half-hour VHS ‘Introduction to the Enema’, a 64 page book ‘The Enema a Teaching Manual’, and an outcall enema service for members when in Sydney.

The French Way

North Hollywood: All Star Books, 1965.Lesbian pulp AS 54. “A lesbian nympho, she turned whore to find the man who raped her!” One of the many lesbian pulp novels produced in the mid to late 20th century. Often formulaic and issued in easily recognisable series with suggestive covers and titillating titles, the genre was written largely by male authors under female pseudonyms for a male readership, though a smaller number of authors, some of them lesbian or bisexual women writing under similar pseudonyms, brought more narrative sincerity and psychological depth to the same commercial format. The genre as a whole ranges from outright formulaic titillation to more literary treatments of lesbian relationships within the constraints of the paperback original.

Archive of Homoerotic Prints with Catalogue and TLS
AU$2,000 Read MoreAdd to cartRudolf von Keller
London: Rudolf von Keller, 1993.Archive of late 1980s / early 1990s homoerotic prints by Rudolf von Keller, sent to Jurgen Boedt, editor of the Belgian fetish magazine Secret, in the original postmarked envelope from London to Brussels. One of the two signed typed letters lists the contents of the packet as sent: the artist’s biography, advertising card, catalogue and price list, 8 sets of A4 posters (some in series of 3, others of 4), and 4 greeting cards. Of these, one three-poster series and one greeting card are absent from the surviving archive, while a second packet of A3 posters, also described in the letter, is no longer present. The artwork features hardcore homoerotic themes centred on leather, BDSM, and sadomasochism. Von Keller’s biographical note describes him as born in the late 1940s and educated in Germany, England and the Netherlands, before studying fine art at a college in the English Midlands. After working as a freelance designer while travelling Europe, he returned to the family jewellery business, but continued to produce fetish and BDSM drawings, watercolours, and paintings for a private circle. A series of exhibitions brought this work to a wider audience, leading to print reproduction and, in late 1990, his first ‘Artwork’ catalogue (included here), offering posters, cards, and limited edition prints. The operation was based in London, with a small studio later opened in Amsterdam for developing new work; the note describes him dividing his time between the two cities and a family home in the Rhineland.

[Sex Slave]
AU$5,000 Read MoreAdd to cartSuzan Pitt
New York: Suzan Pitt, 1984.Beginning in 1984, Suzan Pitt (1943-2019) painted a series of one-of-a-kind wearable artworks for The A. More Store, a project of the New York artists’ collective COLAB. Later that year they were sold through Patricia Field’s East 8th Street boutique alongside works by Keith Haring and Stephen Sprouse. Pitt described the coats as unique artworks that could be either worn or hung on the wall, combining imagery drawn from popular culture, her animated films, and her watercolours into layered visual narratives of free association. Pitt is thought to have produced between fifty and one hundred painted coats during the 1980s before concentrating on the production of her animated film Joy Street. She returned to the format in 2016 in collaboration with House of Byfield. Sexuality was a persistent subject in Pitt’s work well before the coats. Her early film Crocus (1971) established a recurring association in her animation between sexuality and vegetal and floral forms, carried further in Asparagus (1979), a film noted on release for its frank sexual imagery and remembered for its pairing with David Lynch’s Eraserhead on the midnight-movie circuit. The present coat, its title taken from the painted text across the upper back, extends this preoccupation into wearable form, setting sexually explicit illustrations and lettering against appropriated cartoon imagery of Mickey Mouse and Goofy. This example belongs to the original 1984 series and is signed and dated by the artist.
