When did your website?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
The website started in 1998. But before that I was publishing books in UK and the US from about 1992 onwards.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
How did the idea of your website?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
It was out of necessity. I had a partner trying to steal my book company, then based in the US, and he was blocking my money. I was banned from the US at that time, so I had to start something that would pay for my home in UK, or lose it. The only thing I had was a lifetime of photos and experience and so I borrowed some money and started the website from Canada.

How many people are HouseofGord?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
We are a small company and at this time there is just myself, Lydia, Ruth, and Chris. The rest are contractors who process video for us and our technical man Russell. It has always been a small Mom and Pop company, but people seem to think we are some huge porn company. That is a problem at times because they post our stuff for free and think that we can just absorb the losses. We can't The piracy and posting is slowly killing us.

How would you define bondage?.
 
X
 
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
That is a VERY deep question with many possible answers. The correct answer depends on how one perceives it. From my point of view, bondage is about a role play where (in my case) one gets to control a dangerous species, "the female". The female hands over her considerable power and allows the male to play with it. Then, if he has any brains he hands it back and thanks her the honour of being loaned her entire being on trust.
I see bondage in the normal male top female sub style as a reenactment of our basic gene programming. A female needs to feel that she can be overcome and subdued during sex. A male that cannot subdue her is unlikely to produce strong surviving offspring, But in modern society we cannot just bash her on the head with a club and drag her back to the cave. So consensual bondage has taken the role of a reenactment that is acceptable to most enlightened people, even if they do not practice it themselves, they accept in others as a role play.

.. Christie Biel
Why did you decide to dedicate professionally to bondage?.
 
X
 
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
Because that is who I am. That is my inner sexual thoughts being displayed on my sleeve so to speak. I am not ashamed of what I am, what I think, and what I now do.
I am a sexual being, that is my life. Clearly it is a life shared by many women who love to play on my devices. I am not alone.
If I had been given a choice I probably would not have started a bondage website. It can be a heavy burden at times and you are expected to just produce every week. The internet is voracious. The more you do, the more it demands. So far I have managed to keep up.
It can also be a huge burden on my private life and it has strained my previous marriages to breaking point with the pressure involved and because I allowed my wives to become involved. That will not happen again.
X
.. Christie Biel
How to search your models and what requirements must your models?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
Simple answer, I don't, they find me. They see what they like on my site, they want to have an adventure and they ask to play. Models must be attractive, flexible, adventurous, and like bondage. They have to be of legal age of course, and generally we try to use models above 21 and not go down to the actual legal limits.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
Is it difficult to find good models? Are there many girls interested?.
 
X
 
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
No it is not difficult to find good ones. Many are referred by other models we work with and whop can do our style of extreme bondage. So these models know what other models can do to match their own endurance and they tell the models to contact us.
We have more top models wanting to do our style of bondage than we can possibly hire. It is difficult deciding who gets to shoot sometimes. We have been really lucky. Almost all of our girls have been superb people outside of bondage modelling and they become friends as well as models. Some have even come here just to have some rest and relaxation and not been shooting commercially, but just to have fun and party.
X
.. Christie Biel
Do you have some favorite models to work?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
That would be a very long list. Each girl has her own special something and there is no way I could single some out. I guess I just love them all :-).
 
X
.. Christie Biel
What do you think is necessary to be a good professional model?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
In our style of bondage, flexibility, stamina, a sense of adventure and a drive to try something completely different. I like them to have a good sense of humour, and a strong personality is also something that is important. Tying up a whimp is no fun at all. Tying up a strong willed woman is fun.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
What advice would you give for the girls interested in working as models of bondage?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
Hmm! I guess get in shape, then start talking to bondage models and find out what it is all about and who can be trusted before they get themselves tied up by someone they have no history or background information on.
Check out that it is a genuine website and then check back with other models who have worked on it.
X
.. Christie Biel
How many models have worked with you in all these years? What other professionals (bondager etc)?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
I have no idea Hundreds of models I guess, not many professionals of bondage, or at least not professionals at that time. My style is so different there is no real crossover. The only one who is near to my style would be PD of Insex.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
Which is the difference between bondage professional, and bondage amateur?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
In my opinion, the professional does it for a living, the amateur does it purely for their own enjoyment. More often than not, with bondage professionals there is a combination of the two. Most good bondage websites started out with the owner being into bondage personally. I don't think it is possible to be convincing and produce good work if you do not feel for bondage yourself, unless they hire someone who is to maintain the website.

How do you work your wonderful machines and furniture?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
I build them in my workshop.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
Who is the designer?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
I am :-) I design them all. I occasionally borrow ideas from art work, but I actually figure out how to bring the art to life and build the machine or device to do it. Sometimes I am inspired by things I see in normal life.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
Can the people buy your invention?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
Generally no. They are too dangerous if you do not fully understand how they work and how they must be set up to be safe for the woman.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
Do you give some machine? (Christie comments very discreet: " I like the wheels ").
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
Sorry, you are too late. The original Mouse Wheel is now in the Las Vegas Erotic Heritage Museum. We are planning to build a new one, bigger, better, more diabolical.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
When and how was your first experience?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
I was aged five and a half and I felt myself getting hot and horny when I saw a lady in net tights and calf boots at a pantomime. At that time I had no idea that this incredibly pleasant feeling was the awakening sex drive in my young body.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
What advice would you give to those who want to practice bondage?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
Start simple. Use elastic bandages not rope on your girl or else you will hurt her until you get used to using bindings and learn more about pressure points on the female body. Do not attempt suspension bondage until you are sure you know what you. Make sure any tutors you chose actually know what they are talking about. There are a lot of self proclaimed wannabees out there teaching dangerous practices.

X
.. Christie Biel
What has been your funniest situation you've lived in bondage?.
 
X
 
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
:-) There have been many.
Probably this one is the easiest to relate. Early in my bondage life, my wife and I were experimenting with an inverted spreader bar scene, and I was using a borrowed spreader bar. It broke and released one end. The other end with her weight still on it flew upwards, and she went down and landed on her shoulder and forearms. Fortunately she was not hurt.
The accident made a huge crash and our kids were soon knocking on the bedroom door to find out what happened. We told them we were fine and hurriedly cleaned up the bedroom, then walked out as if nothing had happened.
Five minutes later my youngest daughter walks into the kitchen and asked why Mommy's high heeled shoe was stuck in the ceiling.
We had missed it in the clean-up. The end of the bar that broke had whipped her shoe off as it flew upwards and buried the heel in the ceiling.
It was probably the only time in my life when the right answer was there on the tip of my tongue. I said:-
"Mommy and I were practicing dancing and her shoe flew off."
My wife looked across at me and nearly exploded with the effort of not laughing..

.. Christie Biel
What has been your most exciting meeting to consider?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
My most recent. I fell in love :-).
 
X
.. Christie Biel
Which is the strangest question that they have asked you, about bondage?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
When people look at a girl in some extreme bondage device and ask, "But how do you fuck her in that position.?" I sort of look at them, decide that they are never going to understand bondage and what it is about, and ask them if they want another drink.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
What do you think of bondage in Europe today?.
 
X
 
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
Having been in the USA for over ten years now it is difficult to comment.
I am sad at the knee jerk reaction British politicians took with the most recent draconian legislation against BDSM. It looks like my old country is slowly siding back back into the dark ages. I feel that politicians use BDSM crusades as a way to get their asses in seat by pandering to those that have no tolerance for other peoples sex needs and games, or the rights of others to be different.
X
.. Christie Biel
What do you consider essential in bondage?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
Consent and safety are paramount;- humour and laughter is also essential. People tend to get too serious about it, especially some Tops who actually believe they are something superior. It has to be a game or it does not work.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
To what would you say always "not" in bondage?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
There are many things, but probably the most important, self asphyxiation of any kind; - especially self hanging. Probably the biggest cause of death by misadventure. It just isn't worth it. Another would be, never to leave an inverted bound person even for a short time. Never trust anyone else's gear unless you have tested it yourself.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
Have you had a bad experience?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
Of course. Anyone who says they haven't is one of three things. A new player; - Extremely lucky; - Or a liar. The trick is to move past it, learn from it and do your very best never to repeat it.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
You have friends? And any enemy?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
I have a lot of friends. Enemies ? I would assume I have a few. In fact I know I do. It is a sad fact, but f you get to be successful you also gain enemies who are jealous. It is the price of becoming known.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
What is your best virtue?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
I don't know. I guess that would be for others to say. Personally I feel that my sense of humour and the ability to laugh at myself and not take myself seriously must be high on my short list of virtues.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
What is your best weakness?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
The woman I just met. She has me by the nuts by just looking at me.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
What are your hobbies?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
My woman and my bondage is my hobby. I love making her laugh, I love doing things and going places with her, and I love building devices that make her feel much pleasure.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
How do you define yourself as a person?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
I like to think of myself as Patrick Macnee, The original Steed in the Avengers. A bit of a rogue, but a gentleman underneath with a strong code of ethics. I hate injustice and I will always fight it no matter what the consequences;- and there have been consequences.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
What do you value in a person?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
Loyalty, honesty, and directness.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
Do you have a secret you can not confess?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
MANY :-))) But none bad, just embarrassing screw ups that I would prefer to forget :-)).
 
X
.. Christie Biel
And any secret that it can confess?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
Wouldn't be a secret then would it. I have already confessed most of the ones I am willing to confess.
 
X
.. Christie Biel
What still surprises you?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
Man's inhumanity to man.
The incredible, unbelievable stupidity of some people who think that anything we do with pollution can be absorbed by the Earth forever. And those who say it isn't their problem because they will be long dead before anything happens.
The unexpected good people that sometimes come out of nowhere when least expected.
X
.. Christie Biel
What would you consider a place to live, a book to read, and a dish to eat?.
 
X
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
To Live:- A rural place at peace with nature. I don't believe in churches. If I want to consider the possibility of a superior intellect, I just sit and look at the mountains or a forest in wonderment. I can then feel the power of nature.
To: Read:- Bill Bryson's "A short history of nearly everything".
To Eat:- My famous Gordian Chicken Fricassee.

X
.. Christie Biel
Can you explain other things to the persons, about HouseofGord??.
 
X
 
.. Jeff .......... - House of Gord
House of Gord is about extreme bondage using high tech equipment.
It is basically about bringing to life the impossible scenarios that are conjured up by artists;- scenes that for a long time were considered impossible. Nothing is impossible if you study the problems long enough and have beautiful flexible women willing to work with you on perfecting designs.
It is about the adulation of the female form;- maybe worship is a better word.
It is about laughter and fun.
It is about the incredible phenomenon we call woman and often just take for granted.
