Hope your weekend was fun and relaxing! Wanted to let you guys know we are having another Watt Wednesday coming up this week from 7PM PST - 9PM PST via Zoom. We will be watching a couple videos and discuss about them afterwards! (These guys are hilarious, kinky and nice to look at) they touch on a bunch of different kinks and it brings up some great topics. We are also going to try something but need your participation! I’m sure you’ve heard/seen the bdsm quiz to gauge how kinky you are, we were curious if you think the test is accurate? Has it changed over time and where do you use it? (Link below)

If any or all of this interests you please come and join us! To get the login information please email SignMeUpForEvent {aT]GMAIL that you’re interested in Wednesday’s event and you’ll get a response with the login.

Also! An amazing new title holder Mr. Bullet 2020 (Brandon) has been hosting a discussion called Leather Talk via Zoom every Tuesday at 9PM PST. He interviews current/previous title holders and influential people within the leather/kink community for about 30 minutes and then there’s an open discussion with the attendees and speakers. It’s a lot of fun and I highly recommend popping your head in and checking it out, you won’t be sorry! I’ll post the link below!

Kink Exhibition Video for Virtual Leather Realm 2020 is now on the FMSD website

BLUF: FMSD made a video for Virtual Leather Realm 2020 of some of the kinks we enjoy. Click on "Kink Exhibition 2020" on the FMSD webpage

https://FetishMenSanDiego.org/ 

Detailed message -- 
As you know, big social events we look forward to are canceled. Fortunately technology exists that allow us to connect with each other without being in close physical proximity with each other. Examples include the socials and discussions FMSD, and other groups, have had via Zoom over the past several months. 

San Diego Pride 2020 was last weekend and even though there was not a large gathering of people and the festival grounds were not set up, Leather Realm ran several Zoom sessions both Saturday and Sunday. On both days, at noon, the video of images FMSD made was shown. 

Where did the images come from? Several weeks ago a call went out to FMSD to send the images of kink they'd like included in the video. We used what was sent and filled in with images from Scott's / SmithBeard's library of images from FMSD and other local San Diego events since 2012. 

Where did the music come from? Our own John Maynard created the music. Why is this name familiar? He ran a nightly series of music and singing, called "No One Should Be Alone", for 80 of the first 90 days of physical distancing when COVID-19 hit us.
https://www.FaceBook.com/JustJohn760, 

This is the first time FMSD has undertaken this kind of creative endeavor. Your thoughtful comments, reactions, and responses of what we did and suggestions of what to do differently next time are welcome. 

Thank you!

SF LDG Presents: An Evening with Guy Baldwin

Host: San Francisco Leathermen's Discussion Group (SF LDG)

When: Wednesday, 27 May 2020, 7:30-9:30pm

Where: Online Event - https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89777151624


Connection, physical touch, all the things gay men have repeatedly been told not to do en masse—for various reasons—in the last fifty years; they are being told not to do again. Refreshingly so is everyone else this time, but still.

Ironically this virus, while capable of being deadly to anyone of any age or gender, is most dangerous to the survivors of the last epidemic—older men with compromised immune systems. As with any epidemic, the toll isn’t merely on the physical health of the infected, it is on the mental health of us all. What's more, evidence suggests that it is men aged 18 to 43 who are finding these isolating times the most challenging.

Given all that, we thought who better to talk to than someone who has more than a few times in his life, in more than a few ways, helped to lead his people - leathermen and kinksters, through difficult times—Guy Baldwin.

We’ll speak to Guy from his home in LA, and pick his brains on how we get through this without making it worse for ourselves, as we once again deal not only with managing our own needs and the risks we’re prepared to take to meet them, but also vastly diverse views on what constitutes responsible, respectful behavior and what doesn’t.

Reminder: Wed, 19 Feb, 7-9pm, "Meanings, Uses and Mis-uses of Pain" lecture with Dr. John McConnell

Gentle Reminder: "Meanings, Uses, and Mis-uses of Pain" lecture

Wednesday, 19 Feb, 7-9pm, upstairs at Pleasures & Treasures

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Come hear a local voice with decades of experience and insight to kink, Leather, and BDSM speak about pain in our BDSM relationships. 

"Meanings, Uses, and Mis-uses of Pain" lecture with Dr. John McConnell

Wednesday, February 19, 7:00pm – 9:00pm
Pleasures and Treasures, 2525 University Ave, San Diego


About this presentation

This 90-minute workshop will cover pain-play from the biological, evolutionary, and psychological perspectives. The meanings of pain in Western Culture has morphed over the centuries. In the late 20th century, the (then named) BDSM community fixated on the simple idea that the endorphin high explains why people enjoy pain-play. This focus came at the expense of exploring more complex emotional motivations related to the places pain-players go inside their heads. As pain play moves from gentle to intense, players move through complex emotional and mental states which gives their play deeper meaning. These meanings give a fuller understanding of motivations which are adaptive and healthy, leading to the conclusion that pain-play can be synergistic with deep loving relationships.

The last part of this talk looks at the shadow sides of physical and psychological pain, which is how they can erupt unwanted or be consciously abused in relationships. Most often psychological pain between partners is not intentional. What does pain mean, here, when it is neither wanted nor useful? When pain is mis-used then at least one of the partners feels worse about their self: they feel de-valued. This is the exact opposite of healthy erotic pain which leaves both partners feeling more valued by both self and other.
