Erotic imagery is used to market everything from beer to boner medication, so it’s no surprise that the liberated folks at The Stockroom feature some racy photos in their gigantic online catalog of fetish gear and “sexual technology.”

What is a little unexpected is how remarkably tasteful, artistic and sexy the product photos are. They’re sort of a mash-up of fetish porn, fine art and commercial photography. Like what you might get if Helmut Newton seized total artistic control over the old Sears Roebuck catalog.

I will say, even with the wonders of Photoshop, the Stockroom models must pretty comfortable in their tanned and flawless skins to accept this gig. I can just imagine the job description:

“The wardrobe consists of a spanking paddle and a pair of high heels. Some hair pulling may be involved. You don’t mind working with women, do you?”

Now if they’d just post some instructional product video to go along with the still photography.

Announcer: Electra will now demonstrate the effectiveness of The Stockroom’s 18″ Black Paddle, available with or without holes. Look how it makes poor little Katie jump…
