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.

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.

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.

I. Happy Thanksgiving

Hey there, Gents! WE just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving (or if you're reading this on a later date; we hope you had a great holiday) on behalf of the Fetish Men San Diego leadership team! I (Doriam) wanted to personally say that I am so very grateful for those of you who have inspired me to keep pushing and growing with FMSD. It is with your assistance that I have been so excited to provide for my community.

From those of you who have been mentors to me, and those whom I have mentored; Thank You. From the bottom of my heart.

Let us know a little about what you're thankful for in the comments, or by emailing FetishMenSanDiego@GMail.com

II. Gratitude & Service Social + Potluck

Sunday, November 26, 2017
5PM to 8PM
Location: Hillcrest workshop space, email DoriamFMSD@GMail.com
Cost: Bring a dish to share with the guys, otherwise Free! Donations to FMSD accepted!

The Holidays are a time for us to get together and support one another for all that we do. Many men do not have a place or a family with whom to share the holidays with, and we would like to provide a place where we can all come together and share in each others energy. Bring a friend! As this is a social, there will be no formal hard skill training, and we expect men from all sides of the FMSD spectrum to attend!

This is a Dinner Social and we hope that everyone attending be willing to bring a dish (Meats, Salads, Soups, Breads, Desserts, etc.) to share. We hope men will share their stories and build friendships and that we can all sit together for a meal.

There will be a few men present who will be used as serving trays/tables during the event. Scott, Rein and Doriam will be available to handle donations to FMSD and Ticket Sales for our Men's Party!

II. News-Ception (The Newsletter within the Newsletter)

This is a little different than my usual From ME to YOU, as this one is a reflection/projection.

Did you know... [My FMSDversary]

My first year as a part of the FMSD Leadership Team has been focused on establishing a firm floor
for us to build upon. A lot of the hurdles this year have been finding venues, becoming visible, and really getting to know You, the membership, and how best I can support your dreams. since December 2016, we have gone from a single discussion night to 3 monthly events, including two Workshops/Discussions, and a demo night at the San Diego Eagle. This does not include our introduction workshops, parties, or cross-over events!

We are now approaching a period in which we can do MORE! We can host a broader spectrum of workshops and events; we have become visible enough that organizations and clubs have begun reaching out to do things with us, venues that had previous said "no, thank you," are now offering their services! Now, to take advantage of those things, we need to do some fund raising.

So here's the deal... [Fund Raising Venture]

At many of our events, we ask for a small donation (usually $5) - however, we do not turn anyone away for not being able to donate! People have asked where this money goes, the answer is: it goes back into the club, it goes in to venue rentals, food and drink, it goes to purchasing supplies and equipment, it goes to giving back to the members in any way we can.

We are still looking for more fund raising ideas, but have settled on a few that we think are great, and we would like to be able to give back to our community in 2018! Our goal is to find a common organization that the membership would like to support and begin donating a portion of our proceeds to that organization!

The first fund raiser we'll be putting on to achieve this is the "Men of FMSD" Calendar! A celebration of the things that make us SPECIAL!

Yes, we know, it's a little on the cliche side. However, we find that there is a strength in men willing to step out of their comfort zone and represent themselves in front of a camera. We are playing with themes, and would love to hear which you might find the most interesting! That list can be found at the bottom of this email.

What I'm saying is... [Men of FMSD]

We are asking you to consider representing yourself as a Man of FMSD. We want men from all walks of life, all ages, all body types and fetishes, men who are submissive, men who are dominant, men who like to fuck, men who like to throw a single tail, men who like the things they like and are unapologetic about that. We want YOU to represent YOU.

If you are interested in being a part of this project, please email me (DoriamFMSD@GMail.com) or Scott (FetishMenSanDiego@GMail.com)! We are also looking for additional photographers for this project and future events, to assist the Archivist Team (Papa Tony currently leading) in capturing our History!

For the future... [My Promise for Year 2]


Year 2 will be my Year of Service to the members, to my brothers. If I have learned only one thing this year, it is that I have a heart of service dedicated to supporting others, watching them grow as I continue to do so myself. I would love to see and support many of you as grow in to your own power and most confident selves. I hope that you will open your heart to me, and in return I will open mine to you. Join hands with me as we continue build this community together!

Cost: $5 Requested donation on-site or via PayPal.com/FMSanDiego

Howdy Gents! It's my turn to teach a workshop from the ground up, and this time I will be teaching a skill near and dear to my heart: Bondage! This workshop will cover several types of bondage, including what I've become known for (Shibari/Rope) and some forms of bondage I don't get to show nearly as much to the general public! Before the class, please familiarize yourself with the knot demonstrated in this video, HERE as it will be the primary knot we will be using during the rope bondage section of this class.

"Wait. Did you say SECTION?" -- Why yes, floating head! I did!

This workshop will be divided into parts, including quick and effective rope bondage used to, well, tie your partner down! In addition to the rope section, I will be covering introducing you on how to use less formal objects to bind your partner down in a bedroom or at-home setting for "extra-curricular activities."

You do not NEED to come partnered to this workshop. If you have someone you'd like to play with at this workshop, please invite them, otherwise we will do our best to get hands-on time for everyone!

From Doriam:

I will need 3 Demo Bottoms for this workshop. All demo bottoms will be asked to arrive by 2pm or meet with me prior to the workshop to practice/prepare/plan for the workshop. Email DoriamFMSD@GMail.com for details.

All Attendees: You are welcome to bring any toys (dildos, butt plugs, gags, cuffs, etc) you'd like to see used. If you have rope, please bring it. If you have folding chairs, please contact Doriam.

Bondage (Givers): Please bring a tie (like you'd wear with a collared shirt), a belt, and a pillow case with you. Please bring one mundane object you'd like to see used for bondage purposes.

Bondage (Receiver): Please bring condoms and lube. You may decide you'd like to try using one of the toys present for the workshop, and to mitigate risk we ask that bottoms provide their own condoms/lube.

VI. From ME to YOU

With the holidays around the corner, it is a time for us to reflect on the things that make us all thankful and grateful! I look forward to seeing many of you over the next few weeks for several of the events we have coming up, we are hoping to put something together during the Thanksgiving Weekend if we can manage it, so keep tuned!

I do want to share one thing that I personally am thankful for, and it's the continued love and support I get from you all. I could and would not be running FMSD if it wasn't for all of you. It is your dedication to our continued growth that keeps me motivated and wanting to provide more and more. My first FMSD meeting was November 16, 2016 and the first meeting I led was the following month on December 20th! It feels like no time has passed between now and then, but coming up on my one year of leadership has made me reflect on what WE have achieved together; and I value each of you for what you have done to help get us here.

If you haven't already, take a moment and look at our Volunteer Program. Our leadership team is still hoping to bring at least a few of you with us next year to Up Your Alley; but we can't do it without volunteers! Here is a link for your convenience: Volunteer Program

Until next week, gents!
