Pardon this question if it has been posted elsewhere... I tried searching but did not come up with anything that sounded like what I was asking.

Someone on another BDSM site contacted me and we struck up a conversation on protocol. It was all very interesting, batting ideas back and forth.

I checked his profile after the second or third email and noticed that he was a twenty-six year old heterosexual male Dominant who had listed "Old Guard" in his interests. I've always been under the impression that the Old Guard applied specifically to the community of Gay men who adopted an early leather life style following World War II and before the 1960s. However they didn't use that term to describe what they were doing. Rather the term was a derogatory term applied to those veteran players by a newer and more inclusive generation of leather men who came later.

Has the term evolved to mean something else?

Judging by the way too many posts on this subject here, "Old Guard" means pretty much anything you want it to mean.

Does it count if you think the english guards on buckingham palace would be fun to tie up?

Oooh... you sound fun! I wonder how long they could keep that bored expression on their face if one were to... er... ahem... This probably isn't the right board for those thoughts!

If you put in Old Guard in the search section, trust me, you will learn way more than you want to know about Old Guard.

You basically have it right. You've done all the research you need to do at this point.

Why not go to a BDSM event with a whip in one hand and a flogger in the other and say "ON GUARD" from time to time and see what happens.
