"How to be an anti-porn campaigner" (Well, maybe not really...)
The title of this article is actually a bit misleading, it's actually well worth a read as it shoots down a lot of the "anti-pornography" arguments you often see trotted out in the media:

Congratulations to E-Stim Systems!
Yesterday we were in Birmingham at the ETO (Erotic Trade Only) show where we met our friends from E-Stim Systems who had just received the ETO Award for the Best Fetish Products Distributor!
We are pleased to be able to supply a wide range of E-Stim Electro Play Boxes in our range at Affordable Leather Products including the Series One For Him (comes with the basic electrical play box and a set of elasticated cock straps), the Intro to Electro Play for Her which comes with a electrically conductive vaginal probe or the Ultra Set which combines both.
We also sell the E-Stim Series 2B Pro Pack which is probably the ultimate in electro sensation play with multiple modes, programmable settings and a whole lot more.
If you're looking for something to spice up your BDSM Play, come to Affordable Leather Products and buy yourself some fun electro-play toys...

Fun with Scammers...
We had someone calling themselves Marvis Leroy contact us a week ago, apparently he was opening a new shop in Malaysia and wanted to buy some stock.
"Great!" we thought. Then he told us what he wanted: 100 Locking Stainless Steel Slave Collars and 50 Pairs of Deluxe Ankle Cuffs with Adjustable Extendable Leg Spreader Bars! "Err, what?!" we said.
Of course it was pretty obvious that this was a scam, firstly he claimed he was opening a Hallmark store (Hallmark sell leather bondage gear now?), but he was using a hotmail account hallmarkstores@hotmail.com
Hmm, right, Hallmark Stores use hotmail? We don't think so.
Then he said that he was registered with a shipping agency in the USA called Freight Global Express and we should contact them via freightglobalexpress@gmail.com (wow! A big shipping company uses a gmail account!) with his file number as #400562CB and they would let us know the cost of shipping the goods.
Mr Marvis Leroy would then arrange to pay us the full amount of the bondage gear he'd ordered and shipping by credit card and we were supposed to transfer the shipping cost by money order to the agency. Once we'd done that, he would recompense us, also by money order.
Of course what actually happens in this scam is that he uses stolen credit card details, we charge it, pay for the "shipping" (to an account which, no doubt, he owns) and then we never get our recompense and, once the real card owner notices that their card is being abused, the Card Issuer does a chargeback against us and we lose the money (and maybe the leather gear too).
Naturally we did nothing of the sort, so as soon as we got some card details, we contacted our Card Handlers and reported the card as lost or stolen. We then contacted the "customer" and said the card was Declined.
He made some excuse about not having the money in the right account and to try another card (which we also then reported).
He's just done this a third time and, surprise, that payment was "Declined" too...
We're just wondering how many stolen card details we can report before this scammer figures out we're playing him?
Maybe we should use some of our Riding Crops or Single Tail Whips to beat some sense into him...? ;-)
PS We've put in the names and e-mail addresses etc so if he tries this on anyone else and they do a search for those details, they should see this message and avoid being conned.
Lol! :-)

A little bit about Affordable Leather Products
Who are Affordable Leather Products?
Hi there, my name is Graham Marsden and I started Affordable Leather back in 1993 when I got fed up with the ridiculous prices that were being charged by some companies for adult BDSM equipment, on the basis that since they had (at that time) a "captive market" they could charge what they liked.
Since then we have had many satisfied customers who have appreciated our dedication to selling sensibly priced leather bondage gear and other S&M toys and fetish wear and although many other companies have followed in our footsteps, we are still here.
What sort of bondage equipment do you sell?
We have a wide range of products including leather wrist and ankle cuffs, both our standard range and deluxe quality versions, matching collars, floggers and whips, both in suede and leather for thuddy or stingy effects plus a wide range of gags including Whitehead and Jennings dental gags, comfortable ball gags made with a rubber shell and a foam inner plus lots of nipple clamps such as the Japanese Clover Clamps, Tweezer Clamps and so on.
Have you tried out the products?
Over the last twenty years we've used almost all of the equipment that we sell (it was a hard job, but someone had to do it!) and on many items, we have annotated the description to give an idea of how the products can be used and what they're best suited for which we hope will be of benefit to you as you look for some of the best priced BDSM and Bondage gear around.
If you've tried our products and loved them, we'd love your feedback, just add them in the comments section below...
We look forward to your custom.

Repeal Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014
Here's an e-mail I've just written to my MP encouraging him to keep supporting actions which will roll back the ridiculous Nanny State anti-pornography laws that keep coming out of Westminster.
If you want to copy it and modify it to send to your MP, please feel free.

Dear Mike Hancock,
I am writing to you to compliment you on your courage in supporting Early day motion 605 asking for the ridiculous Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 to be annulled.
This is another ludicrous piece of Nanny State regulation suggesting that the people of this country are so weak-minded and morally bankrupt that they cannot be trusted to be allowed to see material such as this just in case it might make them do something bad, even though the activities depicted are completely legal to perform!
It follows on from the nonsensical Extreme Pornography legislation (sections 63 to 67 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008) about which we conversed some years ago that was based on the same Precautionary Principle idea that "Well, we don't know this stuff does any harm, but let's ban it anyway, just to be on the safe side".
It is high time that the ridiculously prudish and censorious attitude of this country's laws was completely revised, being based, it seems, on little more than personal distaste ("We don't like this, so *you* shouldn't be allowed to see it") and anecdotal, post hoc justifications of "Person X looked at Bad Material Y and then perpetrated Crime Z, therefore the crime must have been caused by what they saw.
Please continue to support motions such as this so that adults in this country can be treated *as* adults and be allowed to make up their own minds what they see, instead of being told that "Nanny Knows Best".
Yours Sincerely,
Graham Marsden.
