Do you have a question about a sexual practice?

This is a brief report back from “Leather or Not: Here We Come” a session held by Thomas Lewis and myself and 18 other men on Thursday. The purpose of the session was to support dialogue between men who consider themselves part of the leather community and those who do not but may have some interest in it. We had a great mix of folks – about half were interested in learning more about the leather community and the other half were comfortably established within the community.

The single point I want to bring from the session to the blog is this: ALL of the leathermen at the workshop thought it was an honor to be asked questions about the community and that the questioner did not have to engage in any of the particular activities with them to have a detailed discussion about how different scenes work.

Could this make it easier for anyone here to seek someone out and ask questions about a sexual or fetish practice they have wanted to know more about? I hope so.

See you all on Saturday….
