The San Francisco Leathermen’s Discussion Group is holding a holiday party on Saturday, Dec. 7, featuring Guy Baldwin:

Guy Baldwin is a legendary leatherman, activist, educator and titleholder. (He probably doesn’t remember, but I polished his boots once at IML)

This just in!
The Serious Bondage Institute (SBI) located in San Francisco has installed a new horizontal cage cell that will be used for overnight and extended bondage sessions. The cell’s exterior location allows testing of environmental exposure and long-term endurance bondage in a controlled manor, with full monitoring of the subject from an indoor control room. In addition, a special hose can be deployed to douse the entire cage with cold water for neoprene, hazmat and environmental suit bondage experiments. The test area is outfitted with plants, chairs and a barbeque to put the subject at ease. To increase the authenticity of the backyard residential setting, raccoons and feral cats are deployed after dark to enhance the subject’s overall experience of helplessness.
Look for videos of this new horizontal cell on SeriousMaleBondage.com. Updates will document various tests, results and subjects as SBI moves forward with this unique research tool.

Last night I attended the NYC premiere of “Kink,” the James Franco-produced documentary on the inner workings of Kink.com, with my friend Pisslurper. I ran into a bunch of other “usual suspects” there, including some familiar faces from the long lost days of GMSMA, and a few other guys.
The movie was shown at Lincoln Center as part of the NewFest LGBT Film Festival. It was VERY explicit, and I am not sure when or how it would ever be shown to the masses. Despite featuring a few more women than men, I was nevertheless intrigued by seeing some of the inner workings of the company, especially since I had the privilege of visiting the Armory, the building in San Francico where it all happens, a few years back. (For more about that, you can read my post Meting Van Darkholme.)
Pisslurper and I particularly enjoyed seeing Jessie Colter. We’re both longtime admirers of the gay male-themed sites available from Kink.com — namely, Bound Gods, Men on Edge, Bound In Public, Naked Kombat and Butt Machine Boys.
Here are a few gratuitous pictures from some recent (or not so recent) offerings from the gay sites at Kink.com. Clicking on any of these pictures will take you directly to the specific scenes depicted at these various pay sites (which are worth every penny, in my opinion):

If you like group action, public humiliation and forced oral and anal sex, then Bound In Public is for you. Here are some recent subjects:
Brian Bonds gets humiliated in front of hundreds of people and gang fucked at a local sex shop for San Francisco’s Dore Alley Fair
Randall O’Reilly gets passed around like a whore at the playspace of Mr S Leather
Ripped go-go boy Isaac Hardy gets taken down and gang banged by horny bar patrons

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

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:

I had lunch today with NYC-based gay leather activist, writer, publisher and educator David Stein, who is heading to the Bay Area later this month, where he has two speaking engagements booked. See below for details.
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!
