WHAT WE DO

LEATHERMEN´S DISCUSSION GROUP is an independent community-based not-for-profit organization that serves the educational needs of men interested in BDSM, fetish, kink and leathersex. Responding to their specific interests and concerns, LDG programs cover the full range of sexuality and community-related topics. Our events foster information exchange among participants in a safe and supportive environment.

WHERE & WHEN

LDG regular programs take place on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of each month at: Blow Buddies • Upstairs Community Room, 933 Harrison Street, S.F. (between 5th and 6th Streets.)

Our regular programs start at 7:30 pm and last approximately two hours in a relaxed and friendly setting. Attendees are of varying cultures, ages and levels of experience and novices are especially welcomed. Leather attire or fetish wear is always encouraged. Open to all adults. Admission is free. For more general event info, please contact us.

HOW WE DO IT

Since 1996, LDG has produced nearly 250 BDSM community education programs. Thanks to the generous support and venue sponsorship of Blow Buddies and by the contributions of other organizations, sponsors, and individuals, a great majority of our events remain free of charge. Donations of any amount are much appreciated as they help defray the out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the development and production of our events.

HOW YOU CAN JOIN

As a 100% volunteer-run community service organization, LDG also depends on the time, talents, and efforts of its program presenters, event volunteers, in-kind services staff, and hundreds of individuals who attend our programs and events each year.

While LDG’s Steering Committee meets regularly to handle business matters, members of our Program Committee are always working to bring you the most relevant and interesting topics presented by a great variety of community experts.

The Leathermen's Discussion Group thanks you for your continued support, attendance and volunteer assistance. For more information on how to become involved, please contact us.

Wednesday May 21, 2008	7:30 pm - 9:30 pm	@ Blow Buddies 933 Harrison St.
Wax Play with Iain Hot Wax play can vary from a warm sensual scene, to a form of bondage, to pain, to theater, to terror. Wax can be delivered from a lit candle, or many ways from a melter. Each gives different sensations. We discuss all techniques, and how to choose equipment and supplies. And we'll debunk some widespread misconceptions. You'll learn how to play with hot wax, how to keep it safe, and how to minimize the cleanup needed. Due to venue limitations, we'll demo only flame-free techniques. Expect a hot and messy evening. Iain likes to play with hot things - wax, fire, electricity, and spice. He's on the boards of Citadel, Dog N Pony, Edukink, Janus, LLC-12, and Primal. He teaches many places, including LLW, Samplers, and IASHS.
