Playboy - August 1972 - Links for Kings What with the strikes in Rome and a new government every two weeks, our Italian friends have naturally turned to sex as the only reasonable means of coping with modern life. They’ve even invented a new twist for it - in this case, a metal valise on which a chain is entwined. Coming in lengths up to over 40 feet, the chain is available in nickel, bronze and gold-plated models. The valise, also of various metals, stands about two feet high. Bravi, a Milan design group, sells this kinky “sculpture” for $ 88.50 and up. If you’ve any questions concerning its uses, read the Story of O or consult De Sade.
