The title has been taken from wording on the object.

Black and white photograph of Brian Ridley & Lyle Heeter posed in full leather outfits in a living room set. Ridley is sat in a leather wingback chair with chains around his wrists, ankles and neck being held by Heeter in one hand, and a leather whip held in the other. The leather, chains and pose suggests they were members of the gay sadomasochistic (S&M) scene, of which the photographer, Robert Mapplethorpe, was also supportive.
