Did anyone else hear this on Radio 4 this morning? http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8403...

It leaves it rather ambiguous as to whether it was all consensual, but there are positive comments about his art being better when he was involved in SM.

"His sufferring was, to him, real pleasure".

Is it good publicty or bad, or is all publicity good?

John Maybury highlighted Bacon's sexuality in the interesting biopic of Bacon Love is the Devil. Bacon was a masochist to George Dyer's more dominant personality.

Space travels in my blood. And there ain't nothing I can do about it.
I know I'm being used, that's okay cause I like the abuse.
I can resist everything except temptation.
It's always funny until someone gets hurt and then it's just hilarious.

I think D's is depicted in almost every art form, we are now able to interpret what were once covert messages.

As I type I reach out my hand, so as you read, you are then touched.

Critic and playwright Kenneth Tynan had a switch relationship with one partner and admitted that they caned each other. When Rob Brydon played Tynan on TV it was referred-to.

This is an interesting read:
