‘Recreational Mummification Bondage’ Is A Thing. And A UCLA Professor Just Died From It.

Sometimes, I see headlines that I am CONVINCED are parody until I read the stories and realize people really are this freaking weird.

Case in point.

According to the sourcelink, that UCLA professor was British-born Doran George, who was a dancer in addition to being a UCLA prof.  And the sex dungeon he was hanging out in belongs to Skip Chasey, a TV business affairs executive at the William Morris agency in Hollywood.  Skip’s also known in the BDSM community as “Master Skip,” because of course he is.  He’s the co-founder of some group called People Of Leather Among You, the motto of which is “Blood may be thicker than water, but leather is thicker than blood.”

Clever.

Here’s a photo of both George and Skip from the source.

Anyway, Skip has a sex dungeon in his basement (don’t we all?), and Doran George had been participating in recreational mummification bondage when he accidentally died because the mummification process included being wrapped in plastic wrap and gaffer’s tape, which typically isn’t compatible with things like human breathing.

I say “accidentally” because there are no charges being filed, no criminal activity – just a bunch of consenting adult perverts who don’t think Regular Sex is satisfying enough on its own.  Nope.  They gotta get mummified, y’all.

Listen – it’s none of my business what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own sex dungeons.  I’m just saying that it wouldn’t be international news if George had died of something less perverted.
