Engaged with one of my first significant rope scenes with my partners and a knowledgeable kinky friend, and wow what an experience it is to be poked and prodded while mostly immobile. It ended way too soon, I wanted more! Will definitely do again.
The Hillside Campground Leather boy made a stop at the NYC Eagle Leather Mart yesterday! I met with a lot of vendors selling lots of leather and other kinky goods. I even got to meet the reigning Mr. Eagle NYC Champ! It was a fun day and great to be in this environment, especially given I was experiencing a new leather community. I made sure to spread the good word about Hillside Campground while I was there.
I'm thrilled to announce that I'm a presenter at SouthEast LeatherFest (SELF) 2026! I'll be presenting the class "Navigating Submission in a Power Exchange Relationship with Agency and Consent" at the event, which will be held in Atlanta in April of next year! If you're planning on going to the event, I hope you'll attend my class! It's a subject that anyone in the power exchange space can get something out of hearing about no matter if you're a sub, Dom, or switch. See you there!
When I was just coming out of the closet, my very first gay mentor was someone I knew from online. He introduced me to gay basics and culture. He introduced me to leather. Kink. Polyamory. Even lifting weights. And was just generally someone I could lean on in uncertain times. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have a leather title. Be in a triad. Be a powerlifter. Be this happy of a gay man. His name online is RedBull, or upupdowndown. I wish I could let him know how well I’m doing now.
Oh, uh, hi! Since I’ve been gone, I became a titleholder, so, yeah, that’s a thing. I guess I’m super in the kink scene for the long haul now.
I am realizing that I'm becoming a bit of an exhibitionist, because I'm developing a hunger for being seen getting fucked by a group of people.
My Sir is talking about how he wants to hog tie me and fuck me. He really gets me.
I would like to go to a big leather event this year. Never been to one. Maybe CLAW…
It feels very unfair that I'm truly entering the world of leather and kink right as the country is trying to erase anything queer and obscene. It feels very unfair that, while I've been out of the closet for the past 8 years, I've only really started exploring myself sexually in the past couple, and now that's going to be targeted.
This was supposed to be a joyful phase of my life. But it sure feels miserable when I think about everything that's trying to stop me and people like me.
I am discovering that I live being put into wrestling moves erotically. My Sir put me in a full Nelson and fucked me. It was incredible. Now he’ll randomly just put me in a headlock whenever he wants, and I love it.
