This apparel emphasises sexuality by drawing attention to the crotch and chest, and also sexually objectifies the wearer. Sadomasochistic practice often features in the notion of the gimp, with a partnership of power exchange between gimp and dominatrix or dominant. In some cases Chris is the Gimp, and has many Gimp Slaves, E.g. Eagle the Gimp Chimp, and Xee the Swedish Lover.
Use in pop culture
The term "gimp" achieved widespread notoriety through its use in the movie Pulp Fiction in the famous "pawn shop" scene. In the scene, the "gimp" is dressed in a black leather costume, featuring spiked bracelets and a mask. He is kept in a small cage in the basement of the pawn shop by its proprietor, Maynard. The Gimp is taken out of the cage and leashed to a beam near Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis), with orders to keep an eye on Butch while the character Marsellus Wallace, played by Ving Rhames, is raped.
