Leather Scene Is NOT Dead

I went to the Men in Gear party at The Eagle last Saturday, and if the leather scene is dead, the corpse is still moving. Men in Gear is a no nonsens coalition of guys in to leather, uniforms, cigars and boots. They simply get the word out that this or that bar is where to go this weekend to find like minded guys. No fundraisers, shows or organized entertainment. Just simply: Men. In. Gear.The place was just packed with big and beautiful men, parading police uniforms, leather daddy outfits and army surplus. I think the idea of the leather scene dying comes from the fact that so many guys you don't want to picture in chaps, jockstraps and ballgags have been getting in on the action lately. Hip guys are going vanilla just to avoid the association.

Take Israeli politician Tsuriel Raphael (right). Until lately the 55 year old, openly gay man, was the ambassador to El Salvador. On a hot night in the capital of San Salvador, police found him outside his residence, drunk as a skunk in a trunk, naked, bound and gagged, carrying an assortment of s/m-oriented sextoys.

Now, I don't mind older guys. Hell, I'm nuts about them. But politicians? Please stay away from the kinky stuff. Otherwise it won't be long before you have to fill out forms to get some bondage action.

But rather than shying away from the joys of painful sex all together, I suggest you check out the classic bondage flick "Slave Toy" (1999) from Projex Video. Ogling hot guys like Brad King, Kris Wolff and Peter Horne in bondage and clamped nipples is just what you need to get the mental picture of elderly politicians in full on bondage gear out of your head. Or, what about "Copz", a classic police movie made by Bacchus? That should get your gear fetish back in no time. Do it today, together we can reclaim the leather scene.
