Folsom Street Fair is, for many, a day to dust off their harnesses and too-small arm bands for drinking and rubbernecking on the street. For others, it’s a fun time to safely explore their wild side and discover a fetish or fantasy they never knew they had.
You can enjoy much more than the Full Monty when you see Adam Killian at the Nob Hill Theatre. The hot tattooed porn star returns for his wild X-rated solo and duo shows May 13 and 14.
Valentine’s Day and related romantic events this month may be enough for lovey-dovey gays. But what about single horndogs looking for lust in all the right places? Fortunately, a variety of slutty events at Bay Area venues offer a frisky feast of options this month.
Here are selected September leather and kink events, and nightclub events related to Folsom Street Fair. Enjoy!
Folsom Street Fair, the largest fetish fair in the world, and one of San Francisco’s biggest annual events, will fill South of Market’s streets with thousands of leather-clad people, and many wearing a lot less, on Sunday September 26. How do organizers manage such a big event?
A few twisted fantasies percolated in my head but I lacked the guts to ever talk about them until the ripe old age of 35, when I went straight from a sex life of pure vanilla to dating an International Mr. Leather.
Photographer Steven Underhill, who shot our gorgeous cover image for BARtab #5, stopped by Chaps II for Locker Room, Sept. 2, which was also the BARtab “Leather & Sex” issue #5 premiere party for BARtab. Gift cards from Good Vibrations and five pairs of tickets to the Scissor Sisters concert (Sept 12 at Oakland’s Fox Theatre) were randomly handed in a fun raffle.
Most everyone likes a little swat on the ass now and then, to varying degrees. But here in San Francisco, we have the San Francisco Men’s Spanking Party. Spearheaded by Spank Master Bill, the monthly men’s-only parties are an outlet for men to get together who enjoy spanking or being spanked.
Pushed by the gay population explosion at the height of our worldwide immigration to San Francisco in 1973, the Folsom Prison bar debuted at 1898 Folsom Street as yet another hot leather catwalk for the recreational promiscuity of 1970s “mad men.”
Get out your slings and hoods. It’s Dore Alley month! Or rather, Up Your Alley, as it’s now called. Coming each year on the last Sunday of July, Up Your Alley is (or was) San Francisco’s answer to the size and perceived commercialization of the Folsom Street Fair.
