Background
Born in the United Kingdom, Gord described himself as a "mad bondage scientist". 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. His influences included Robert Bishop, Eric Stanton and John Willie.

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."
