Mr S. Leather on Daily Show

Holy shit everyone. This is gonna be awesome. Jason Jones from the Daily Show is doing a correspondent piece on Mr. S Leather! This is going to be amazingly hilarious and it will be on tonight, 11pm EDT on Comedy Central (EDIT: it is now TBD. I will let you know as soon as Mr. S tells me when it will actually be on). Just a nice picture, which is surprisingly woofy to capture your interest. I think that's a neoprene shirt with a Nasty Pig Jock... Woof.



I cannot wait.

PS Oral Exam tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Public Hypnosis.

Yesterday, a university in the area had a "Kinky Karnival" event for their students to learn more about kink and bdsm. I was working with Neil, the Erotic Hypnotist, to do some hypno-bondage and such in order for display hypnosis in conjunction with bdsm sex. As the demo-bottom, I was to go under and then let him display some things. Neil gave a great lecture on hypnosis and its applications to kink sex, and then played with two people with a minor party trick with a waking suggestion and it worked really well on one of them. She was pretty amazed.

Then it was time for me to go under in front of everyone. I was really nervous, as I was in front of around 40-50 people, some of which were my vanilla friends, and even one of my former students.

Neil did a rapid induction with me, and I felt my eyes starting to water as I stared at him, wanting to do well with him so that they could see what hypnosis could really do. I put my hand on his and then pressed down as instructed, and then after a while he lets go and I fell into trance. A single (emo) tear started running down my face, which was kind of odd and interesting. He started to get me deeper and deeper, gave me a sleeping trigger and then consequently took me in and out of sleep to get me deeper. He then gave me some of his standard hypnobondage triggers, and he showed them off to everyone, showing that I could be immobilized, have hypnotic handcuffs, and malleable to how someone sees fit.

He put me under again, asking if I would be okay with tranformational stuff, and I nodded. We tried to make me a puppy and my subconscious revolted. When he woke me up, and gave me the trigger, it didn't happen. It was probably about the public display and I didn't feel *that* comfortable, so that made it more complex I feel. I also had worried about the puppy play aspect in public before the event, so that may have been involved too. When it didn't work, Neil was really graceful about it and then put me under and gave me sensory triggers.

This one I didn't think was going to work in public, but as soon as he got me out of trance and pulled the trigger, I was getting a blowjob in my pants. I got a bit embarrassed, put this smug smile on and turned beet red. Everyone in the audience knew what that meant and everyone thought it was an amazing riot. I thought it was hilarious but I was a-ok getting a blowjob at that moment, especially hypnotically.

He then stopped it and put me in an immobilizing trigger and offered people to move me around. My friend got up came up to me and put my hands up and just said "As a devout Georgia Bulldog, I must do this to him" and made me do a Florida Gator chomp. I was hating every moment of this. He knew from that point that I was completely hypnotized, as I would have never let that happen otherwise. Everyone seemed really engaged and it was really fun for everyone to learn more about kink. They then went on to choose between electro and gear bondage demos. It was a really neat event for a university to put on, and I really wish we had this at my undergrad!! These type of events excite me as the world is slowly getting to know kink better. Everyone in the audience really interacted well, and very few of them had kink experience beforehand. It was really neat how all of them were enjoying themselves and really interested. Things like this are what will help us get a better street cred, not just the shocking parts of our culture that we throw down people's throats. Both are important, but this was really something that I think a lot of them will find memorable.

Until next time,
Bo

Fort Troff Sale!!

Fort Troff! They're going crazy for their Annual Sale. Half off Rubber? Don't mind if I do...

But honestly... I probably will just want to buy



That. Just wanted y'all all to know it's going down!

EDIT: Holy shit. All the rubber is gone! That was fast... Well, I just put my order in just to be safe for the other things I wanted... :-D

Break

Well, I had a great spring break, I'm en route to back home, to a meeting at 5pm and then going to go work for 16 days straight until my oral exam, but I have a couple of quick things to say about this weekend. I got some great kink in with connections old and new and I enjoyed myself thoroughly and I think it's gonna give me enough power to really power through the rest of my homestretch before my exam, coming in and feeling anew. Kink can do that when you're really into it. It makes you feel happy, very happy when you have such a nice time with it. Liberated, strong, and euphoric. Having a nice kink night really just makes one feel complete at times, and smiling for the next day.

But I'll leave you with one picture that I illegally took when I was hanging out with my friends when no cameras were involved (I know, I'm a terrible person), but I really thought it'd make a good piece. It sums up a piece of romanticism that I think is often lost in kink. I think it was cute:



The bottles are two individualized JLube bottles of one of my favorite kink couples. It makes me go "awww" as a good kinkster.

Until next time,

Kinks I don't have: Ice

I just don't really get it. It just happens. I tell Doms that I really don't care for it, and they just think that I just react to it and it should be punishment. I mean some people react really well to it. I just think it's there and doesn't add anything, and just is a boner-killer. I just don't find any part of it arousing when it occurs to me. It distracts me. That's about it. I'll go along with it, but, to be honest, I'm just rolling my eyes behind this blindfold.

March!!! - Kinky Karnival!

So it's upon us! My month where I have my final exam ever. Me standing there, with three men staring at me, attacking me with all of their demands until they are fully sated. Torturing me for hours on end until their thirsts are quenched, as I pleadingly make leaps of faith and desperation in order to try to please them. Well, mathematically at least. It sounds a lot better when I phrase it this way, though they would probably not be amused.

At any rate, the weekend before this event, I'm helping work a Kinky Karnival at my university. It's really neat. It's an annual event we have at the LGBT house for people to understand kink better. It was started by one of my friends at the school who happens to be a Philadelphian. Three things will be featured this year: rope bondage, gear bondage and hypnosis. That's right, my friend Neil will be coming down from NYC, and I'm helping demonstrate hypnosis with him. This will be open for people to see how it works. I like this idea of all three as it shows three great artforms of kink. Rope bondage is really classical in my eyes. It really is a "back to basics" approach when it comes to bondage as it started; however, I'd say it's one of the hardest to master. That's why I really think it's an invaluable kink to be included. Easier to start, very difficult to master.



Gear bondage is has much more startup cost, and really has no end to it. I think it's a great way to show safety as well and how people need to be completely aware of everything. It's also a great gateway to talk about leather and rubber as a kink itself and show how one can work rope into gear. I think it also has a way to humanize the kink as gear is typically what one freaks out about when it comes to kink, so this is a form of desensitizing. But still, it's just so hot for us pervs, no?



Just look at that.... mmmmm.

Now for hypno. I think this is a great place to end. Hypno has the great advantage of truly showing the connection possible with two people, and showing that the mind can make bondage occur even without any gear at all. I think this is a high form of relationships in bondage and shows how important the connection between a Sir and boy can actually be.

I like this trifecta, as it kinda shows what kink can be about: an aspiration towards perfection and a willingness to learn, an attitude of fearlessness while experimenting and using materials in order to achieve an experience that one desires, and a higher form of connection that one aspires to have with another that transcends standard consciousness. That's what it's about. That's pretty fucking sexy if you ask me.

Until next time,
Bo

The MAL 2011 post

Oh God. It's almost the end of February and I'm finally doing this post. Well, that's pretty amazingly terrible. At any rate, here it is! My MAL 2011 experience.

I arrived in DC after work Thursday and went to hang out with a couple that I’m good friends with. One of them picked me up at the bus stop, we went to my favorite restaurant in Hyattsville, MD, and then went back to their place. One of them, Adam, was going to his first MAL and would be my bedmate. I was very happy to be able to show him his first kink event, as he had been the first person to show me some kinks as we hung out throughout the summer of 2009. This was something I could show him. He was excited, yet very nervous, which I find to be the majority of all kinksters’ emotions when they first go to an event. The good thing though was that I was sure that he wasn’t going to trail around, as he’s a very independent guy and makes his own fun happen. We even have a codeword for unfounded, silly jealousy: “two cupcakes.” Long story. Anyways, it was a great time for us to spend some time with him and his boyfriend and then kind of have an indoctrination meeting for the kink weekend. I’d like to think that I calmed him a bit about it, but I’m really not sure.

On Friday we got up, did some errands and had lunch and then went to the hotel. We got there at 4pm and I had planned to meet Sparky from Seattle then. He was running late so Adam and I got our weekend passes for the market taken care of and then Sparky showed up carrying tons of gear. He met Adam, and then Sparky and I went upstairs to play a bit. This spawned into a video that will be posted at some time on sparky's blog and I will probably cross reference this when it is available, and will be coupled with me telling about the pup mentality involved. We played until about 10pm and then Adam came in right after we, well, finished. We then went out of the hotel into the bitter cold to find a neat dive pub with fried pickles which was much to Sparky's and my delight. Our play had made us work up an appetite, and a puppy's gotta eat. We finished and then went back to the lobby and hung out quite a bit and I met my friend J and also Neil and finally met Joey which was a long time coming. I ended up mainly hanging with J and cuddling with him a bit that night, only to end up crawling into bed at around 4.

The next day we crawled out of bed got ready and went to the Starbucks right outside of the MAL hotel, which was packed with kinky and non-kinky alike. Seriously, there were 30+ people in line with two people working the Starbucks. It was madness. We ended up in line next to Kai with a puppy tail in already at 11. I was amused and ended up watching the stares as we jokingly called the nonkinksters "muggles". We sat around, two keystone boys of leather, Adam and me talking about last night. The Hotel was new, so there was a bit of strife there. There were tons of rules they were trying to enforce, like a dress code in the upstairs lobby, trying to force all of us into the basement social area. People were being told to be quieter in their rooms, and to not bring outside alcohol into the hotel. We were all rebelling against these rules. A lot of the part of MAL is a form of freedom one can have, and that was important to us.

We then kicked off the day and went to the market. The market was pretty good. I wandered around the entire market. I had one thing that I really wanted, ankle and wrist restraints and I had a budget of about 200$ for them. I looked throughout the entire market and finally happened upon Mr. S and looked at their restraints. I was helped by an awesome guy, and finally decided on the Neoprene restraints, which were well within the budget range:

Pretty hot, right?

This was pretty awesome. I then met up with a lot of friends and got to catch up. I found one of my good haircut friends, and he and I wandered up to my room and he gave me a nice high and tight for the weekend. It slowly neared 6 and J had a party in his room. I came to find out that all of the crowd knew each other as many of my friends of the weekend ended up crowding the party for J's roommate D's birthday, celebrated with none other but CUPCAKES! I giggled to myself about Adam and my story as I got a bit tipsy. I found one of my role models Reddy, and then got dinner in the lobby with him and some new friends.

I ended up spending the majority of the night in the lobby, until I ended up having a bit of a cuddleparty with J Neil Sparky Joey and me. That was pretty amusing as Sparky was still under Neil's hypnotic spell the entire time. hehe.

The next day started well, but as I was up way too late I ended up missing my brunch invitation with one of my friends. So I ended up waking up and grabbing one of the two cupcakes left over in J's room. We then head to an irish pub for lunch and then head back down to the market. I started the day in an argyle sweater. I found the best rubber ever, at E7 Rubber, and ended up buying a pair of their rubber shorts with codpiece and then got fitted for a suit. (They're awesome--they keep your full custom measurements and make catsuits fully custom order for no extra price).

I went upstairs and changed into my neoprene singlet and camo shorts as I slowly became kinkier as the day progressed. I then saw some other friends and bought some nasty pig socks that I've promptly lost before I got back. At these events I always get super horny on Sunday afternoons, and want play and never find it. It's pretty amazing. I did, however, find some participants in the other conference in the hotel, the one of the National Association of Wheat Growers. I talked to Fonda and Arlene with Joey, and taught them about the community. They felt a lot better about who we were once I explained it. They asked if my parents knew I was here and I talked about how I don't talk to my parents about being gay and anything gay anymore after they sent me to conversion therapy for 1.5 years. They understood, and said they were actually sorry. I told them that kink was much more about a connection that two can share via alternate methods and that we have a community that shares this common interest and it's not all about sex, which, in my opinion, is really true. I also met John from outside of Columbus Ohio. I jerked his chain (proverbially) about Terrell Pryor and the OSU team and he was amazed this young faggot knew more NCAA football than him. He really didn't believe it until I started correcting him about his own fucking team. Dumbass. He then made fun of someone's puppy tail and I sharply told him he shouldn't, told him I would be wearing one later and he could touch it when it was in later that day. I unfortunately did not see John again.

So I got Chipotle with a friend, and then ended up finding sparky and we decided to play again. Before this though we wanted to hang with people in the lobby. I was in my rubber polo, my new rubber shorts from E7 with puppy tail and waders. My friend A finds me and wants to give me a drink at his place. We get into his room in the company of 11 other guys and, as since I have my puppy tail in, I immediately just lay in the sling as sitting is not an option. JohnnySwitch from Chicago immediately throws a towel on me, and A smears a cupcake all over my face. I'm dying laughing, as A is so well-intentioned in the fact that I have a pie/desserts mess fetish and he knows this. I shower off and then head back down laughing and knowing that these people that I know are just great people that I adore. I ran into Fonda and Arlene on the way back down, and took a picture with Fonda, as Arlene was too scared of the puppy tail. Fonda hit it and made it wag, which is the first and last time a grandmother has ever made my prostate clench. I then talk to Sparky who was giggling as he knew that was going to occur. We then went to play. This will also be talked about in the posts coming up, and he also videotaped this scene as well.

After that scene I was like jello, and I oozed into the lobby. By then, the hotel was well broken. People were bare assed in the lobby and everyone seemed to have had a great time. We checked out the next day with me already missing the event. It was just a great time. I enjoyed myself a lot and cannot wait until the next MAL.

Until next time,
Bo
