David Carradine a victim of sexual fetish tried to practice safe BDSM

We’ve now seen a uncensored version of the photo of David Carradine’s body, and it reveals a powerful clue reinforcing the theory his death was an accident. The rope around his neck is knotted in front, used in the bondage community. BDSM experts say a knot in the front is a telltale sign someone is not doing themself in. The frontal knot makes it fairly easy to quickly escape.

David Carradine went to a Los Angeles sex shop he frequented just three weeks before he died and placed a large order for clothing, toys and videos. The owner of Susie’s Delights in Tarzana, CA, say’s Carradine was a regular in the store and owned almost every piece of bondage equipment in the store.

The last order Carradine placed a few weeks ago included women’s lingerie, stockings, a few pieces of bondage equipment and three bondage DVDs. She also said that when Carradine placed the order he talked to her for almost an hour, saying he was upset because he believed that his wife was unhappy.

Gail Jensen, Carradine’s third wife, says she came home one day and there were post-it notes on the front door with arrows leading into the basement.

Jensen says she followed the notes and found Carradine hanging from a rope, emulating Jesus Christ in body position. Jensen asked him what he was doing. David’s response: “I really would like a sandwich.”

Jensen says they were having people over, but David stayed in the basement while the guests ate upstairs. Gail says she went down to the basement several times to give him food and wine. Several hours later, he untied himself and joined the party.

BDSM includes a wide spectrum of activities, forms of interpersonal relationships, and distinct subcultures. While not always overtly sexual in nature, the activities and relationships within a BDSM context are almost always eroticized by the participants in some fashion. Many of these practices fall outside of conventional sexual activities and human relationships.

BDSM is often practiced within the context of a limited and defined encounter known as a BDSM scene. Such scenes often have ritualistic aspects, complete with modes of behavior, forms of address, codes of conduct, dress codes, and many other aspects of theater and role playing. As such encounters are often, but not always, at least partly sexual in nature, people outside of BDSM have a tendency to view it as a form of “kinky sex”.

Some participants incorporate aspects of BDSM into their everyday relationship(s) with their partner(s), especially those who practice dominance and submission or power exchange (especially Total Power Exchange). For these individuals, BDSM is part of their lifestyle and in some discussions is referred to as “The Lifestyle”.
