First Hand: An Erotic Guide to Fisting
Tim Brough collected a wide variety of information for my latest book. "First An Erotic Guide To Fisting" starts with a history from noted Leather historian Jack Fritscher Ph.D. (which reads like a chronology of San Francisco through '60's and '90's) and ends with a hot piece of fiction from former Drummer magazine contributor and disabled-rights advocate, Michael Agreve. In between covering health with a Doctor and Physical Therapist, club life with two club presidents, the online experience via the webmaster of the RedRightWeb site, a man who recounted his first encounter with footing, and, in the book's sixth chapter, dozens of brief interviews where the participants related their thoughts about handballing.

About the author
Tim Brough
11 books6 followersI graduated from Palmyra High School in 1978, then I was off to College and my first tastes of radio at WQSU, The Voice Of Susquehanna University. Then off to way too many stations and addresses, along with such weirdness as dressing up as a clown for a summer at Hersheypark, doing stand-up comedy, and singing in a punk rock band. By my calculations, 23 addresses in over 20 years.
I settled for WAFL, Milford, DE, where I was twice nominated me for excellence in small market radio by Billboard Magazine. By then I'd also sold my first magazine articles and decided there was no looking back. I was also fortunate enough to meet some of my rock idols during those days. The only times in his life I ever felt my knees go weak has been shaking hands with Paul McCartney and meeting Elvis Costello, whom I regard as our greatest living songwriter.
In 1989, I stumbled across my first copy of DRUMMER magazine in San Francisco at a Radio Broadcasting convention. Having my mind blown open by the experience, I took a writing/editing job in Los Angeles, a city where I could explore this part of my psyche further and pursue a new career as a broadcast journalist. I met my mentor, the late Paul “Papa Bear” Sehm (to whom the book Sgt Vlengles’ Revenge is dedicated) when I moved to LA, and he, in turn, introduced me to many gentlemen in Los Angeles. These included such great men as Wayne Griffin, who employed me at his “Wayne’s Leatherrack” store in the LA Faultline Bar, and my the late Gary “Skinner Jack” Taylor, my lover for a few years. I came out full bore as a Gay man in the pages of the Oct 11, 1993 edition of the magazine I edited at the time, The MAC Report (Nashville TN). The MAC died in 1994, and it was back to LA, where I got a second wind as a writer and editor. This was when I met my partner for the next four years, Peter “Rubber Bear” Tolos.
My byline has appeared in magazines as varied Radio & Records, Fetish, Leather Journal, Eagle, Cuir, Frontiers, Bunkhouse, Mach, Powerplay and my own two major magazines, the ground breaking Rubber Rebel and Vulcan America, which Peter and I worked on together until his passing in February of 1999. I was the editor and principal writer/photographer for Vulcan-America.com, which provided "Rubbermen, Macho Fetish and Fantasy" online from 1999 till 2004.
I also participated in all sorts of other exploits, including the infamous Rubber Buddha episode of HBO's SEXBYTES series. If you met me during this period, it was likely at an event such as IML, or the Cell Block Chicago's ongoing Mr. International Rubber competitions where I have frequently been invited to act as a judge, as well as the Mr. East Coast Rubber in NYC. I've also appeared as Brutux Kahn in the Zeus/Can-Am production Brutal Kombat.
I am back to Pennsylvania as of 2002. I met my wonderful Papa Bear, Joel, at MAL in 2002, and by the end of the year, we decided we'd try a relationship. In 2003, my first collection of short stories, "Black Gloves White Magic" was published. It's been an adventure ever since. Papa Joel and I now live in Philadelphia with our house Diva, Sophie, an affectionate Tabby Cat.

Pubblicizzato come "the most comprehensive look at this fetish", questo libro è un po' un minestrone ricco di buone intenzioni.
Più che una guida pare un numero monografico di Riza Psicosomatica; ci sono interviste, aneddoti, il parere di un medico nonché appassionato praticante, un po' di storia dei movimenti underground, case di produzione video a tema, la ristampa di un interessante articolo di jack Fritscher piazzato a mo' di introduzione e in chiusura, un racconto erotico.
C'è tanto ed è tutto interessante, ma più che una guida che ti prende per mano (pun intended) il più delle volte pare disegnare una mappa con ben poche zone nuove da esplorare.
