“Thank you Tom of Finland Foundation for hosting a hot conversation
on Homoerotic arts and culture at TOM House.”
–Avatar Club Los Angeles

Durk Dehner, ToFF President & Cofounder, leads the panel discussion.

Introduced by Jose Tinoco, ToFF Artist Coordinator, the conversation turns to preservation of art, sex play areas with rights and privileges connected to many years of Gay erotic artists.

• Hot erotic art talk with Rick as a fetishist and his nearly forty years of bondage photography and becoming “mainstream” with it.
• Discussion turns to fisting with Sam and his research into spiritual, erotic consciousness and ritual masturbation including body piercing.
• Jonathan shares his experience at TOM House, the creation of a book of his portraits for ToFF’s 40th anniversary and being a part of a Queer collective at TOM House.
• Jamison speaks with confidence about his book, the flourishing artist-in-residence program and how he has documented it.
