Upcoming Fetish Events

Smokeout - Vegas  (April 1 - 4  2010)
Gathering of leather-clad, levi-clad cigar and pipemen.  A hit-or-miss annual event.  Lots of bear types.  Cigarbikerman is attending.
CLAW - Cleveland  (April 22 - 25  2010)
Cleveland Leather Awareness Weekend is a bit more down-to-earth and smaller.  Those midwestern types are a bit more friendly than at other leather events.
IML - Chicago  (May 28 - 31  2010)
International Mr. Leather is massive.  The last time I went the Leather Mart took of up 2 large convention type rooms.  If you look in the right places you can find pretty much anything here all mixed with socializing, posing and attitude.  Cigarbikerman is attending
L. A. Leather Nights - Feeder contests in Los Angeles for IML.

Cruising Online

Let's face it, there's not much of a public (bar) leather scene in the U.S. any longer.  Occasionally you'll find certain nights and events that cater to a leather crowd, but for the most part, the instinctive cruising that used to take place in atmospheric masculine bars is now about posting photos, instant messaging, chatting dirty and surfing the net to find the connections you're looking for.  There are no keys to the kingdom, you have to approach everyone not knowing what you'll get - it's part of the fun.  Here are the sites I use most often to cruise.  If I find other good sites, I will post them here.

Who takes the photographs?

I take them of myself.   I love to integrate photography with kink scenes, especially with those minds / faces/ bodies that can lead to some creative hot sexy bone-stiffening images.

What are you into?

For a detailed account of that, click here.  It’s fairly thorough though not exhaustive and I’m always open to new hot or depraved suggestions.

Do you like vanilla sex?

I can incorporate that into kink scenes.  Vanilla sex (kissing, rubbing, fucking) is always a chemistry related thing and where both mind sets are at.

What is your type?

Used to be only dark-featured handsome face with facial hair, and that remains a prominent favorite.  Now I’m open to a variety of looks that I can not easily define, but usually centers around striking looks, jock types, hottie types, typically in-shape and health conscious.  And personality counts as well in the looks department.

What are you looking for?

Great connections, special bonds, training novices and enthusiastic non-novices, good friendships, wild safe kink, a travel / hiking buddy.

Where do you buy your leather?

Mr. S (San Francisco);  665 (West Hollywood);  Rough Trade (Silverlake);  Langlitz (Oregon).

Where did you buy your rubber?

Syren (Hollywood);  d.vote (England);  Fettered Pleasures (England)

Can you host?

Yes if planned ahead of time.  Often prefer to travel.  For long-distance I like to develop a good online connection and meet up at fetish events.  Especially interested in visiting London and Berlin and Italy.  I have never been to Europe.

Is pain necessary?  

No, but it can’t hurt.  errr  I mean one of the essential components of leather scenes is exploring the unknown.  You’d be surprised what you may enjoy when yer cock’s hard and dripping and I’m working on u.  If it’s something you’ve tried a few times and all it does is make u soft, then it’s a no go for me too.

What does it take to meet up?  

For local, I always ask for a couple recent clear face photos, and a few chat conversations plus a component that many seem  oblivious about - it’s called mutual interest.  For non-local the same, plus time spent on developing some type of enjoyable online connection.

What do you do?

I’ve worked for 2 major corporations mostly in the area of compensation, which is the determination and administration of how much to pay people in corporate positions, salaried and commissionable.

Are you single?

Yes, and I do enjoy dating, dining, hiking, travel, photography, films, adventure, interesting chaps and the men who wear them, and open to new horizons.

Do you have a dungeon?  

I have a make-shift dungeon / playspace.  As much as I love the idea of a permanent dungeon, I’m not constantly fornicating and don’t have the luxury of a spare room for that to be practical.  Nonetheless any room can become instant training space in my way of doing things.
