8PM to Midnight
Where: House of Black, San Diego (Address provided with Will Call Email)
Cost: $20, paid via PayPal or to Doriam/Scott/Rein


Join us on January 5th at House of Black, San Diego; we are kicking 2018 off with our first Male-Only Party of the year! This party will be co-hosted by Doriam and Rein, and while the theme lends itself to more SM-type play, all forms of Fetish and Kink are welcome! Including sex play, voyeur, water sports, etc.

As co-hosts, Doriam and Rein will be kicking off the night with an Interrogation Scene at 8:30! If you care to know more about these two, here's some info about each of them:

• Rein (right) will be celebrating his admissions in to college at this party. He is a Dominant with inclinations toward Sadomasochistic play including being trained to single-tail by Papa Tony, and has been active with FMSD since September 2017. 

• Never seen Doriam (left) play? He is a Switch who enjoys in-scene protocol. While playful, he is at his core an Edge Player best known for his experience with Rope Bondage and Suspension. He is celebrating his one year anniversary as part of the FMSD Leadership Team. 

We have reduced ticket prices for this party to $20. These funds will be used to pay for venue rental, snack foods, and non-alcoholic beverages. We've also made a few changes to our policies regarding alcoholic beverages - email DoriamFMSD@GMail.com if you'd like to know more.

We are still looking for volunteers for this party including 2 people to work the Food and Drink area, and 2 Dungeon Monitors, and 1 person each for Setup/Tear Down.

III. From ME to YOU

Howdy Gents! With holidays nearing a close, I would like to thank you all for your continued efforts and support in keeping FMSD running! We are so excited for this coming year, in addition to a few back end things, we are looking forward to being more actively involved with the whole of our communities. Members from Orange County, North San Diego County, Los Angeles and even San Francisco have reached out and are looking forward to joining us this coming year!

With love, I'll see you guys soon!

Getting Ready for the Men's Play Party, Jan. 5th

By: Papa Tony

Note: The official publicity for this event is at the end of this post.  The following part is just my own opinion:

---

I attended the last Men's Play Party a couple of months ago.  I was astonished and pleased.  I saw the largest turnout for a men's play-party in San Diego's community that I have seen in decades.  It was impossible to see everything that was going on, because there were so many men there, in so many scattered locations.  Clearly, there is a need for something this nice, and so well-organized.

A scene from early December's Holiday Pot Luck, 

which attracted a BIG crowd.

If you haven't been to an FMSD event in a while, you've been missing out.  The new team is running events far better that I ever did… Doriam's youthful perspective is bringing many solid new ideas.  The men on his team are energized and smart.  Their events are satisfying, and exactly what we need. Attendance is rising swiftly, and word is getting out that the old magic is back, but with that same, kindly FMSD vibe.

December's Cigars & Boots event filled every available seat.

Of all of the Leather/Kink/Fetish communities worldwide, San Diego is DIFFERENT. We stand out for our affectionate, respectful and welcoming ways. The upcoming play-party is a good example of that.  There are multiple volunteers whose job is to make sure that everybody fits in, and starts having fun right away.

If you haven't been around us for a while, you will see a lot of men of ALL age-groups, mingling happily and pleasurably.  This is my favorite part of the new era.  Any old rifts between the generations are gone, and there are powerful benefits for everyone.

After dealing with way too much holiday and family-time, it's time to get re-connected with your brothers in our Tribe.  It's time to connect on every fun and meaningful level again!

Happy Holidays from Rein, 

on the left, and Doriam on the right

Friday, January 5, 2018
8PM to Midnight
Location: House of Black, San Diego
Cost: $20/Person, paid via PayPal or in person to Doriam/Scott/Rein

Theme: Interrogation, BDSM Party

Hey look! We did the thing where we're scheduling another Male-Only Play Party!

We are back at House of Black this time around, and have reduced ticket prices, in addition to changing some rules around! This party will be co-hosted by two of FMSD's young up-starts, Doriam & Rein! And while this party is BDSM inclined, all forms of Fetish and Kink are welcome, including Sex Play, Voyeur, etc.

As co-hosts, Doriam and Rein will be kicking off the night with an Interrogation Scene! If you care to know more about these two, here is quick bio for each of them, and what they'll be celebrating at this party!

>> Rein will be leaving for grad-school shortly after this party, and is looking forward to going out with a bang. He is a Dominant with a sadistic-streak, and has harnessed his skills in Single Tailing and Flogging with Papa Tony, in addition to adding tools to his play bag from other San Diego players!

>> Doriam will be celebrating his anniversary as a part of FMSD at this party. If you've never seen him play, Doriam is a Switch who plays actively on both sides of the slash. He enjoys dynamic Power Exchanges and several forms of Edge Play (including Fire, Medical and Suspension), but is best known as a Rope Bondage player.

We learned a lot from our last party at House of Black, which has inspired several changes for this party. The first of which is the price, we've reduced the cost of this party to $20/person, these funds will be used to pay for the venue, food and (non-alcoholic) drink - any excess will go in to the FMSD Workshop Fund to keep allowing us to host these parties and workshops!

Additionally, we will be allowing attendees to bring their own alcoholic beverages should they choose to partake. We will be required to take some additional precautions because of this, but it should not limit anyone's enjoyment of the event! For more details, email DoriamFMSD@GMail.com.

For this party, I will be needing a few volunteers. Specifically, I will be looking for 2 Bartenders (basic knowledge preferred), 2 Dungeon Monitors, a Door Person, 2 Ambassadors, and ideally 2 people for Setup/Tear Down (each). If you are interested in volunteering, please email DoriamFMSD@GMail.com

More information on volunteering, Here.

To purchase your ticket, please go to PayPal or email DoriamFMSD@GMail.com or FetishMenSanDiego@gmail.com to schedule a time to meet Doriam/Scott to purchase your tickets in person.
