According to Bob Wingate, owner of the Outbound Press, publisher and editor of Bound & Gagged,
"When Bound & Gagged first appeared on the scene, there was virtually nothing else out there. Drummer published bondage stories and photos from time to time, but there was nothing devoted to bondage in all its varied manifestations, from average guys simply cuffing and rope tying each other for fun, to whole ritualistic life-styles in leather and latex, making use of the most elegant and expensive restrictive devices—not to mention everything in between."
A complete set of Bound & Gagged is preserved at the Leather Archives and Museum,[2] as are the 25-box collection of papers of Robert W. Davolt, the editor of Bound & Gagged.[3][4][5] In 2017 Davolt was honored along with other notables, named on bronze bootprints, as part of San Francisco South of Market Leather History Alley.[6][7]
