Photos of a woman walking a man on a leash in London’s Farringdon neighborhood around 8:30 a.m. is going viral. He’s in business attire, dress shirt and suit pants. There’s video on The Independent‘s website here. We’ll update if we learn what it’s promoting, but right now we’re guessing it’s either a stunt or a BDSM game.

To be honest I am proud to live in a city sexually permissive enough that a man can go to work on a leash. Gotta love London

Taking a moment to imagine uproar if man had been walking woman through Farringdon on a dog leash.
