Brian Alexander, MSNBC.com’s Sexploration columnist, is traveling around the US to find out how Americans get sexual satisfaction. This time he meet the fetish people.

“While it’s not every night you find yourself stepping off a bus behind a 6-foot man dressed as Little Bo Peep, that’s not why I’m staring at him.

This bus is full of people going to a party at a club here called The Chambers, after spending the day at the Hyatt Regency for “FetishCon,” an annual convention that is part trade show, part classroom, part nighttime scene for fetish aficionados and the merely curious.

In a little while, some of the several hundred people in attendance will be chained to large steel Xs and flogged with leather cat-o-nine tails. Men will crawl on all fours and lick the feet of the women who brought them. One topless woman, her skin painted with a mural by a professional artist named Pashur, will dance for hours in a pair of giant boots that make her 7 feet tall.

So compared with this phalanx of PVC, leather and latex, Bo Peep looks practically normal.”
