I must be very liberal. Let me clarify, when I said conservative, I mean the nature of the BDSM equipment, a lack of today's modern torture toy like TENS unit, violet wand, etc. Because the story is written back in 1950's, they don't have electrical devices or mechanical springs, fuck toys, like the ones from Paradise Electro simulation, or the ones we seen in that Andrew Blake movie "Les Femmes Erotiques", among other toys.
