Ruff gets leather strait-jacketed and leashed at Dore Alley

Check out Ruff, bound in a straitjacket at the recent Dore Alley street fair in SF.

I’m not sure what gets me more excited, seeing Ruff bound up like that, or checking out that HOT man who has Ruff leashed. As Ruff himself would say, “Who’s that woof?”

Anyway, you can see more at Ruff’s newly re-launched and better-than-ever site, Ruff’s Stuff

 

Boot bondage pics, boot porn sites, and a preview of upcoming bootblacking event in SF

I think boots are awesome. I’ve certainly licked my share, and had my own licked and worshipped. I used to be a bootblack at leather events in NYC, and I was first-runner-up bootblack at IML way back in 1998 and 1999. With that in mind, here are some various boot-themed bondage and fetish images gathered from various sites on the net:

HURTS SO FINE: EROTIC ABRASION

San Francisco Leathermen’s Discussion Group Program

The skin is by far the largest organ in the human body, but most SM techniques evoke only a small fraction of its potential for painful pleasure. Abrasion can be exquisitely calibrated from sensuous to excruciating, and a long, patient brushing can leave your bottom’s skin so sensitive that simply breathing on it will make him shriek!

COMMON SENSE PRINCIPLES FOR ETHICAL BDSM (R)

If you want to do “the right thing” in a BDSM play space or a kinky relationship, but aren’t always sure what that is, come to this workshop. It’s not about “imposing rules” or “setting standards” but about ideas you can use to make your play and relationships more fulfilling.

Folsom Street East is canceled for this year

Folsom Street East

This is a message from the organizers of NYC’s Folsom Street East street fair

 

Dear Friends and Fans of Folsom Street East

It is with sadness that the Producers and Board of Directors of Folsom Street East have to announce that the 17th annual Folsom Street East Street Festival this June is going to be cancelled. Though we continue to receive support for this community-building and fundraising event from Community Board 4 and our neighbors on the block (including our producing partner The Eagle NYC), the ever-growing construction on the north side of 28th street has made it impossible for us to successfully and safely hold our annual street festival. Thank you for the years of support from our attendees, sponsors, partners, exhibitors, vendors, performers and volunteers; we are sad that we will not be able to celebrate Pride with you at our fetish-friendly event this year.

We also hope you continue to join Folsom Street East at our other events, including our various LGBT Pride Month events, our annual “A Fetish for Fashion” fashion show this fall, and at  the many partner events we participate in throughout the year, and hope to see you back on the kinky streets of NYC next year!

The Folsom Street East Street Festival has always been a benefit event, and we will continue to support our beneficiaries:

 

The Anti-Violence Project  

The National Coalaition for Sexual Freedom 

The LGBT Center 

 

We hope that you – even though you won’t be supporting them through your Street Fair entrance donation –  will continue to support these organizations as they do their important work with and for our community.

Thanks for 16 great years celebrating sexual freedom with the Folsom Street East Street Festival, and we hope to see you back on the kinky streets of New York City in 2014!
