I. Thank You!


We, the leadership for Fetish Men San Diego, wanted to start by thanking each and every one of you for your involvement in mapping a course for FMSD. Over the last few weeks, we've seen attendance and community participation grow through events, emails, and social media presence. We are excited to keep growing and hosting events for You, our Brothers, and welcome your participation!

We also wanted to thank everyone who attended Ritual Fire this past weekend; your energies were a wonderful contribution to the feeling and fun of the evening. With the feedback we've received so far, we are looking forward to hosting more Tribal events so that we may share space, stories, and grow together.

If you have any feedback, we are happy to hear it! We are looking to know more about what YOU'RE interested in for future events - whether those be workshops, socials, potlucks, parties, or otherwise. We would like to know what interests you, and how we can help make your dreams a reality.

If you'd like to let your voice be heard, please email:

Justin blowing fire at Ritual Fire! 09/10/2017
This month Justin will be leading a 201 class on Fire Play. His workshop will go over basic safety and good-practices for diving in and introducing you to the joys of lighting each other on fire! Justin has been active in the kink community since 2014 and began toying around with fire shortly after his initial involvement in the community. He most recently assisted in presenting Fire Photography at Ritual Fire!

This workshop will go over the use of fire wands and how to safely light your hands on fire and spank your bottoms. Men interested in playing with fire will be asked to be nude or mostly nude, and apply a water layer to their skin; an outdoor shower is available. We will have experienced Fire-Players available for demo, and spotters for your safety.

If you are interested, you may submit your $5 donations by going to PayPal.me/FMSanDiego - Will Call emails with the location are sent starting 2 days prior to the event. Include your First Name, Last Name, and Email Address in the notes section or email DoriamFMSD@GMail.com

Nude Male Modeling
Monday, December 4, 2017
6pm - 9pm
Twiggs Bakery & Coffeehouse in University Heights
Cost is $10, cash only, for artists and photographers. Please support the venue, too.
Description: Have you thought about being a male model for gay male artists? Or wondered where you could go to practice your sketching, drawing, painting, or photography skills of male models? Check out the Gay Men's Art Group of San Diego.

GMAG has invited FMSD and Leather Men to be models at the December 4th GMAG session in University Heights. Wear whatever makes you feel hot, powerful, and strong. Nudity, with gear and props or not, is not required although it is very welcome. Street legal to the door.

Looking for new photos of you and your gear? Just like all levels of drawing, sketching, and painting are welcome so are all levels of photography although with some restrictions.

The models will strike seven poses in the first 20 minutes, then rotate to the next set of models. After, each model returns to hold one pose for 15 to 20 minutes. Solos, duos, or trios of models on stage works. One or two is great, three is the maximum due to space restrictions.

I and the co-leaders of GMAG think it would be GREAT to have leather and kink models as it would definitely be a change of pace for the artists.

Need more info or have questions about this? Please contact Scott at FetishMenSanDiego@GMail.com.


IV. From ME to YOU

I'll keep this one short and sweet. I want to say thank you to each of you for your continued optimism and kind words. For my Brothers outside of San Diego, this includes you as well! Some of you have reached out, and I hope someday soon we can revisit the Fetish Men communities near you! Until then, please continue to reach out and we will build this together!

Have a great weekend, Gents!

In Service,
Doriam C
