“i enjoy the arts of bondage and fisting, but my fetish is boots.
Wearing, cleaning, shining, licking, it's all about the boots. Boots push
that sexy, manly edge. A man in a good pair of boots is hot!”

not into pain, but I like the adventure that leather can take you into,
if you have the right person to take you there. I am still very much the

thomas
30-sumthin’
Nonprofit
thomas thought it was a huge compliment to be asked to be a part of
SAFER+SANER, and got involved
because he strongly believes that men of color need to see each other
in as many spaces in the community as possible…including leather,
bondage, safer play, and kink. He wants his involvement to help keep black
men in the open rather than in the margins of the community.
“Some of my personal interests include foot play, masculine odors,
verbal sex, role play, kink, ws, fisting, exhibitionism, leather, and
bondage…but watersports would have to rank near the top of my fetish
list right now; just under having a man on his knees begging for my…humm...attention.”

Marc is very active in the leather community as the Corresponding Secretary
of the Philadelphians MC and a member of GMSMA. When not busy designing

who are bigger than me…just for fun! Love hairy guys (and any guy

Fundraising
Talib invites you to stop by www.thestarlovers.com
feel his vibe.
“I am new and still exploring the leather scene, and respect the
diversity and honesty of the community. I am honored to be a part of SAFER+SANER
because it’s a unique and exciting opportunity to promote safer
sex best practices, sexual health resources, and offers resources for
those new to the scene, especially for men of color where ignorance is
destroying us. As men of color, it’s critical that we promote the
importance of our sexual health, sexual education, and access to treatment
among our friends, lovers, and within our community.”
