The Museum of Sex Objects is delighted to present a talk by groundbreaking UK fetish pioneer Steve Beech. This is one of a series of events exploring sexual cultures programmed by The Museum of Sex Objects to coincide with their month-long exhibition at The Horse Hospital this September.

Steve takes us on his intriguing journey from seminal 80's London fetish club Der Putsch, to his 90s BDSM B&B in Cornwall, and on to his present-day latex fashion empire, Westward Bound. Plus, rubbery reflections on Westward Bound's inclusion in the Cottonian Collection, designated by the U.K. Government as of "international importance" and home to a priceless archive of Sir Joshua Reynolds' sketches and paintings at The Box Museum in Plymouth, Devon.
