I. Fetish Show & Tell - Saturday, 10/28

Cost: Donations to FMSD are welcome, otherwise Free!

Join us for Fetish Show & Tell, the first reincarnation of the Fetish Men San Diego discussion group. This early evening discussion will give those of us sticking around during Palms Springs Leather Pride weekend a chance to catch up and talk about our commonalities - the things that turn us on!

Discussion will be lead by Brothers Brett and Brian, and will give each person the opportunity to talk about the thing that turns them on. From cigars and fire, to role play, leather and water sports, this is an open table discussion for you to talk about that special something that does it for you! If you are so inclined, bring something to show the group that represents your fetish, and bring a friend to introduce them to FMSD. The more the merrier!

If there is enough interest, members are welcome to bring food to share with the group or a small donation to order food for our brothers to enjoy during the discussion!

II. Gear Invasion - Tom of Finland

Come and Join the Fun on November 1st, at The Historic Landmark Ken Theater for the Film based on the Life of Tom of Finland! Wear Your Favorite Leather Gear in Celebration of the Man who inspired the Revolution.

Known to the world as Tom of Finland, the proudly erotic drawings of artist Touko Laaksonen shaped the fantasies of a generation gay men, influencing art and fashion before crossing over into the wider cultural consciousness. But who was the man behind the leather? Dome Karukoski’s stirring biopic follows his life from the trenches of WWII and repressive Finnish society of the 1950s through his struggle to get his work published in California, where he and his art were finally embraced amid the sexual revolution of the 1970s. Tom’s story is one of love, courage and perseverance, mirroring the gay liberation movement for which his leather-clad studs served as a defiant emblem.

Make sure to be at the Historic San Diego Ken Cinema to come together with our brothers and sisters in leather, for a night of rejoice and pride in Who We Are. There will be a raffle in support of the Leather Foundation* during this event, so please help by giving back where you can!

*The Leather Foundation is a 501c3 that helps those in need here in San Diego, and also provides condoms and lube for safer sex practices for social events.

IV. From ME to YOU

Hi Gents! I've got a small request of you, each of you, I'm curious where you're reading from! I know that FMSD's membership spans cities, counties and states, but I'd like to know where YOU'RE from and how we can better serve YOU. Please, take a moment and email me at DoriamFMSD@GMail.com and let me know where you're from! Even if you are part of our central San Diego group, let me know what part of the town we're reaching you in!

I'd also like to take a moment and thank all of you who've reached out in regards to teaching, being mentors, attending events with new folk, etc. Without you, I don't think I would have the mental faculties to make everything work! If you're interested in giving back to your brothers, check out our new Volunteer Program and see what we're doing to give back!

Until next week, gents!

In Service,
Doriam C
