That's it, really. One woman wrote to complain and the staff said their only concern was that he might become dehydrated.

More normalisation of fetishes.

That is a specific suit worm for a sexual act.

*worn!

Although...

I'd intended to wear something more suitable, but the leather dog outfit wasnt in stock in my size!

It says a lot about the Globe staff that they would know that wearing a gimp suit would make someone dehydrated. How many people would know that? I've learned something new, although I can't imagine when it would ever come in handy.

I'm just going to put "gimp" into the "Add GIF" thing and see what . . . . oh! Does one of the other gentlemen always wear a, what is that, a battered cowboy hat?? 😂

Is that what BDSM stands for?

Bouncy Dancing Stupid Men?

Enough of the frivolity.

Bloody awful and all down to the World Health Organisation deciding that the world would be a better place if public displays of fetish were "normalised" so perverts wouldn't feel bad about being perverts. Just in time for Pride 2018 and it has all been downhill since then.

Yes, it really is all part of a Men's Sexual Rights Movement. Took them a long time but they got there in the end. Women and children? Who gives a damn about them?

But the bloke who used to creep around town in a gimp suit was recently in court…

guinnessguzzler · 24/07/2023 10:32

To be fair @Datun I can't claim credit for 'dehydrated gimp' ... that honour belongs to @RealityFan although I see the original dehydrated gimp has now joined us 😂Honestly, it must be so exhausting to have to go to ever extreme lengths in search of orgasm because you over-wanked yourself on weird porn or whatever. Or as Pulp put it, somewhat more poetically, and it seems apt given the theatre setting, 'What exactly do you do for an encore?'.

DehydratedGimp · 24/07/2023 11:05

@guinnessguzzler that's the good thing about a gimp suit it disguises who's inside.

God I feel like I'm being Boiled in this thing, but the zip is stuck and I can't get out!

Its fucking weird but policing people's clothing is difficult.

Yesterday I drove past a man, probably in his 40s and otherwise normally dressed, who was walking home from the shops with his arse hanging out. Full on builders bum on a busy high street on a Sunday (in this case I'd rather he were wearing a gimp suit to be honest). I see women walking down the street in leggings which are see through.

Just a couple of examples, but all very unpleasant. Why don't we crack (sorry) down on people who are exposing themselves like this in the street, for example?

A ban on sexual clothing could cover anything from this gimp suit to a mini-skirt someone thinks is too short or a dress someone thinks is too revealing.

It's a difficult one to have a blanket policy on and if you have a man in a gimp suit who is otherwise covered up and not pestering anyone and is sitting quietly watching the play, I'm not sure the staff would have an easy time removing him.

I don't think it should have been allowed personally, but I can see the difficulty the staff had.

RoseslnTheHospital · 24/07/2023 12:15

Is it difficult in a private business ticketed space? Places like the Globe can surely have a fairly simple dress code that includes a line like "no fetish clothing" and an explanation that it's at the manager's discretion. They're not under any legal obligation to allow people wearing gimp suits, harnesses, gags, etc in to performances. When did this become such a thing to ponder over? Night clubs can refuse entry to people wearing trainers fgs.

I imagine they could've even easily thrown him out. They just didn't feel they should.

They've apparently not exactly apologised, but said they probably wouldn't let someone like that in again.

Fucking amazing how they suddenly all discover a boundary when there endorsement its lack is plastered all over the tabloids.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 24/07/2023 12:22

Lol at all the “oooooh it’s sooo hard to tell ppl not to wear their sexual fetish gear in public”. Seems to be closely allied to “ooooh it’s so hard to tell men from women, how can we possibly tell TW from women, it’s all sooo hard”

absolute bollocks is it hard! The only reason gimpy feels emboldened to stroll about in his wank suit is because Stonewall and their allies have pushed so hard on queering public spaces

everyone ones a gimp suit is sexual the same way everyone knows what a woman is

its quite easy to have something that says “the globe expects customers to dress in an appropriate manner. Failure to do do can result in being asked ti leave” then gimpy can do what women are told to do. Argue it on a case by case basis

maltravers · 24/07/2023 12:51

You’re right Eyeball, except that I suspect the staff would have trouble getting the courage up to tackle gimp man, who by definition is a man who exceeds boundaries and is probably in a state of sexual excitement. No problem dealing aggressively with people daring to sit on the ground or wear “adult human female” t shirts of course.

Boiledbeetle · 24/07/2023 12:59

I wonder what they would have done if confronted with a man in a gimp suit wearing an adult female t shirt over the top!

Thats where the staff manager removes the risk and calls the police to assist in preventing a breach of the peace.

It is one of the few times the police would be given " public support " as the fashion police.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 24/07/2023 13:13

Luckily @maltravers the Globe employs security staff so happily for them they don’t even have to get some poor 20 year old student to do but can call in the experts

Yeh I don't get it either. It must be such a fucking faff to go for a piss too!

Like, I see those costumes and kind of relate it to a poor man's power ranger.

I would assume NOT taking it off is a bonus…🤢

Musomama1 · 24/07/2023 21:27

Yep. I've heard this argument before, 'we all have kinks'.

Maybe, but we don't all bring them out in public.

Gimp suits are pretty hardcore, we're not talking about a dog collar or cuffs. It's all body and face. There's only ONE reason for wearing it and it's not fashion.

So why isn't that one reason enough to throw him out?

BabyStopCryin · 24/07/2023 21:47

Hurty feelings. A woman would have been out in her ear with the police called.

BillyBraggisnotmylover · 25/07/2023 12:43

The amount of supportive comments (for the gimp) under the independent article on this on Facebook blew my mind.

BabyStopCryin · 25/07/2023 17:57

Yes but that’s the Indy…

There was about 1 supportive comment in the Telegraph and rightly lots of appalled ones.
