Good information from past FMSD Gear Invasions:

"This is our opportunity to share with the greater LGBT community what we are like when we are at our best. Therefore, we can break through stereotypes they may have before engaging us. Here is an opportunity for us to break out of our usual hang outs.

We encourage you all to gear up as a visual identifier and symbol of our community. Whatever gear that you choose to express your fetish. Please remember, these are restaurants and places of business. Use good taste and adhere to the San Diego Vice Laws."

Upcoming Events

==NOTICES==

From Papa Tony:

Despite the overall slowdown in events due to holiday schedule conflicts, there is a lot to look forward to:

Wednesday is the Shamanism/Leather Connection workshop, Friday is the HARNESS Party. Next week, the men of North County finally have their own, first event, and the inter-club mixer and discussion will be on Wednesday.

After the first of the year, things are going to EXPLODE. We will have a beautiful and copious array of events from multiple new and existing groups that are planning to start everything with a bang for the new year. Behind the scenes, there are plans in the works that ALL have to do with building better community, including more play, and celebrating what has turned out to be the best time in our community’s history!

Clearly, San Diego is the place to live in 2014.

——

From Mr. San Diego Eagle 2013 Robb Rodd:

Just a friendly Reminder That this Month and Next I'm Hosting a Food Drive at The Eagle, so Please if you have any canned food items you like to donate, dry pasta, etc. There is a Drop Off Barrel at The Eagle. Your donations will help SPECIAL DELIVERY, and its clients... Thank You in Advance, and Happy Holidays to You All...

——

From American Leatherman 2013 Aaron Duke:

"My life is enriched by the connections I make with people on a deeper level. It is rare that I find a book that looks into my soul and knows who and what I am…”

Free, Online Leather/Kink Book Recommendation

——

NEXT MOVIE NIGHT IN MAY?

From Michael McQuiggan:

I am working on a screener of FOLSOM FOREVER and this will more than likely play at the FilmOut festival at the Birch North Park Theater in May - more news to come! Thank you all for your continued support!

"For those just interested in the hot stuff, FOLSOM FOREVER provides plenty of full frontal nudity and a tantalizing array of kink. But learning about its history and contributions to the community will make you feel even better about getting off."

——

From Eric Swenson:

Eric's Story:

"May the memory of all our friends and fellow leaders lost over the years never fade... During those years, I made a list of names of friends among us who "fell" during our "battles." Many of them often alone, embarrassed, in pain, and outcast. Winning the fight against AIDS and for human diginity didn't happen overnight and never easily. I review my list at times to keep my focus on what we have at hand and are still working for, and to recognize THEIR accomplishments. All of these men, pioneers in their own ways, contributed to make OUR community what it is today…"

Review of Hot Wax Hands-On Demo Night, Friday, Dec. 29, 2013

Photos by our own Event Documentarian, Scott Smith.

From Magnum:

"BIG things do come in small packages"!

After a Thanksgiving day of feasting, fellowship and connecting with friends & family, the members of FMSD came out to rejoice & release all that holiday stress.

There were 35 men in attendance for the much anticipated "Hot Wax Demo Night" where Magnum & Papa Tony shared the Masters of Ceremonies for the evening.

slave keith was generous to provide his home and hospitality for this event.

Moving into a different and smaller location for this demo night proved to be just what the erotic, fetish gods had ordered.

SPLASH! Nothing more refreshing after a severe flogging than some ice water!

Men of all shapes, sizes and textures were eager to play and participate.

As the night got underway, Dungeon Master Magnum covered the ground rules, safety protocols and our creed of inclusion and openness to members, first-timers and guest.

Magnum, Ibi Pupp and Magnum's partner.

DM Magnum demonstrated a different spin on flogging & spanking using a "3 man triad style".

This demo allowed more men to jump in, participate and explore the different techniques of flogging & spanking.

Adjacent to the flogging demo, Papa Tony began the candle wax demo and encouraged men to participate.

pup Nikita using his own candles to show us all how it is done right!

pup Nikita (one of our younger members) kicked up the energy with a demonstration of wax play that was sexy, engaging and hot!

pup Nikita shared his knowledge and skills with confidence and swagger.

Pepe, showing off his excellent handiwork upon Ramon.

Throughout the evening, the tight, small space created an atmosphere that was dripping with high sexuality, sensuality and a warm level of intimacy.

The larger candles (from IKEA) proved to be much, much

better for massively coating a submissive. The wax had an eerie

"lizard skin" texture when it had hardened enough to come off.

The energy was contagious as men started touching, stroking each other and were feeling comfortable enough to come out of some or all their clothes.

As the night came to a successful close, men had looks of satisfaction, pleasure and big smiles of joy!

You could see men asking and making plans for the next FMSD Demo Night. Stay tuned...there's more to cum!

Sunday, December 1st is World AIDS Day

From Aaron Duke:

If you or someone you know has ever felt ashamed of being gay or HIV Positive, please read this and pass it on.

Sunday, December 1st is World AIDS Day. World AIDS Day is held on 1 December each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day and the first one was held in 1988.

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching and most of us sharing what we are grateful for, let's not forget the tireless work of David J Watt and the Mr. Friendly Campaign.
Mr Friendly is an international, yet grassroots movement to reduce stigma of HIV, encourage testing for HIV, and improve quality of life for those living with HIV.

*Disclaimer: This is my personal experience. Please do not judge my parents. It was a different time and many people were uneducated about HIV/AIDS and scared.

I remember it was 1986. A distant relative of my mother had passed away, and we made the trek to San Diego for her funeral. My mother had a cousin. I don't even remember his name. I just remember him. He was, well, you know - gay. I remember within three to five years, he died of "cancer". It was what they called it back then. Their was this unspoken shame of knowing someone who died of AIDS. Years later, I remember my mother confessing that it was probably AIDS, but no one wanted to say it.

My grandmother had a charming home in the White Rock Lake area of Dallas, which has become a popular location for gay and lesbian couples over the years. I remember a poly-triad "family" of gay men moving in next door. These three men had a beautiful home and yard. From time-to-time, they would even mow my grandmothers lawn for her. I remember one of the men died of "cancer". At least that is what we were told. Of course, my mother always said, "It was probably AIDS. They are gay."

These experiences taught me attitudes and beliefs about gay men, HIV/AIDS, and myself. I was taught being gay is something shameful. It should never be talked about. If people found out you were gay, what would they think? I was taught that HIV/AIDS are a gay disease. I was taught HIV/AIDS was something to be ashamed of. Don't ever tell anyone you have it. Just tell them you have "cancer". It was these beliefs based on ignorance and fear that taught me as a young, gay, man to be ashamed of being gay. IT TAUGHT ME TO HATE MYSELF.

People like, Mike Harrell identified this internalized homophobia and self-hatred. Mike helped me walk through it to the other side of freedom. I have learned to surround myself with people who support and love me.

I dream, that programs like Mr. Friendly will end the stigma associated with HIV, so others don't have to have these experience. If you are in one of those dark places, reach out and ask for help. Remember, The Best is Yet to Come.
