Jeff Gord

Jeffrey E. Owen (5 May 1946 - 3 September 2013), better known by his alias Jeff Gord,[1][2] was a bondage artist and photographer.[3][4] who specialized in the forniphilia subgenre, a form of objectifying sexual bondage which involves the subject being tightly bound and expected to stay immobile for a prolonged period.[5]

Born in the United Kingdom,[6] Gord described himself as a "mad bondage scientist".[7] He initially founded his own publishing company in 1992, publishing erotic books specialising in bondage stories. In 1997, he launched and maintained the website "House of Gord" on the subject.[8][9][10] His influences included Robert Bishop, Eric Stanton and John Willie.[11]

Aaron Kunin has described Gord's vision of the human body as "as spectacular and thorough in its commitment to objectification as Busby Berkeley’s."[9]

Gord died in 2013, at the age of 67.[6][12]
