WHIP PRACTICE IN THE PARK

Click here to see the results of the recent FMSD Portrait Project, showing San Diego men in gear!

There is a new effort to bring back Whip Practice in the Park.  I know of at least five of us who would be quite interested in heading off to a local park to practice, practice, practice various ways of throwing around a single tail whip in order to gain points for style, sensuousness and accuracy. I had no idea that my trusty old "towel-snapping" technique is not one of the better ways to use Emily, my favorite Signal Whip.

In any case, if you are interested in being a part of the FMSD brothers who plan to attend these regularly-scheduled events on a Saturday around 10am or so, please send an email to master_of_the_deep@yahoo.com - Please let me know, as well.

SPECIAL FREEBIE, TODAY ONLY

The good folks at Leatherati have clued me in to a wonderful deal - Race Bannon's "Learning the Ropes:  A Basic Guide to Safe and Fun BDSM Lovemaking" is FREE today, Wednesday, November 7th on Amazon in Kindle format. You can read it on any modern device (Mac, PC, iPad, Blackberry, Android, whatever) that exists. I bought this newly-updated version months ago (and, back in 1992, when it first came out), and it's superb. Race is wise, and knows how to explain kinky concepts in a relaxed and focused way. Strongly recommended!

I haven't got time to finish my long, detailed review of the new Fetish in the Outfield event in Palm Springs (with lots of pictures!) until next week. You will just have to be patient...

Check out the Photo Galleries at Leatherati.com from the Mr. International Rubber 16 Titleholder Contest. See San Diego's own Dougie (who holds the title of Eagle LA Mr. Rubber 2012) onstage in Chicago this last weekend. More pictures may be found here, with a special bonus shot of Dougie's magnificent naked butt.  It's one of nature's marvels!  I'm usually more into leather than into rubber and latex, but all of these weekend pictures are YUMMY! Handsome men of every kind.
