Fanny & Fogg; Stephen David

Apr 6, 2001

Fanny and Fogg are two self-professed dedicated sado-masochists. In the intimacy of Fogg's apartment, they introduce viewers to the joys of S/M. At the beginning of our series Fanny and Fogg are the king and queen of Vancouver's kink scene. Episode One introduces us to two other key players in the kink community. Stephen is a bisexual who owns a hair salon in East Vancouver. He strives to live as pleasurable a life as possible. As he frantically prepares for a drag performance, he recounts the story of the one true love of his life, Kate. David, an old school, gay, leather master, is in search of his perfect mate. Our mentor to the world of kink, David defines the differences between old leather and new leather, as well as the kinds of masochists (or "bottoms") that he prefers.

Shopping; Meet Pat

Apr 13, 2001

On a shopping expedition to the local tack shop, David tests out various whips and other 'play' props, which are later used in his "six thousand lashes" play scene. While shopping David explains his list of potential dates: the gold list are his possible life partners. Stephen also does some shopping at flea markets around town, looking for new outfits to appease his cross-dressing fetish. He reveals some of his family history and the pain of an ostracized childhood. Over at Fogg's body piercing and tattoo salon, Next, we discover that even Fogg's work allows him to enjoy a certain level of play. Pat packs her bag with an assortment of play toys and heads off to deliver an undergraduate psychology lecture on sexual behavior at UBC. She explains, in tangible terms, the ethereal pleasures she draws from masochistic practices.

After a night of heavy play that ends as the sun comes up, Fanny and Fogg want nothing more than a low-key morning. Their attempt at leisure is interrupted by a fire at Next. Stephen spends a day at Vancouver's infamous Wreck beach with his friend Martin, discussing casual encounters, relationships, and safe sex. As the sun sets on his day off, Stephen reveals his HIV status. David meets up with one of his gold list members, a potential long-term slave, but the young man is hesitant and turns David down. David goes back into his own difficult past, as he recounts his childhood as an orphan in Montreal, to his struggle to come to terms with his sexuality. Pat explains the pleasure she derives from her S/M play during a practice session with her master friend Bill.

After a wild night on the town dressed up as his alter ego, Gene Pool, Stephen takes us to visit his mother on Vancouver Island. During the trip he describes his parents' marriage, his father's alcoholism and his mother's efforts to raise him and his siblings on her own.

David puts love temporarily on hold to pursue his search for information about his family history. His quest takes him to Salt Lake City for a Jewish genealogical conference.

Stephen goes to his doctor for a check-up, explaining how he has strived to keep his HIV+ status from altering his lifestyle.
