Bear Notes

Sempre soube que (sempre nada! depois tenho que contar minha primeira vez em Amsterdam) o mundo do fetiche tem “regras” rígidas de comportamento e postura, uma coisa até certo ponto ‘secreta’ – pelo menos até você ir atrás e realmente se interessar.

Já li uns livros sobre BDSM que abriram bastante meu panorama a respeito desta cena, mas nunca tinha visto nada a respeito de leather.

Até resolver procurar o que era essa tal de Old Guard Leathermen.

Este é um dos sites que achei no Google, o primeiro que li, e, sozinho já me deu uma atiçada no fetiche. WOOF!

Tem uma parte histórica interessante e tal, mas a lista objetiva de postura e comportamento é tão boa, direta, masculina, que fiquei de p*u duro só lendo, pode?

• Always wear boots, butch ones, and preferably black.
• Always wear a wide black leather belt plain, not fancy.
• Never mix brown leather with black leather.
• Never mix chrome or silver trim with gold or brass trim.
• Long pants only, Levi’s or leather, and no shorts.
• Chaps indicate more commitment than Levi’s, and leather pants more commitment than chaps, especially when worn consistently.
• Leather Jackets must have epaulets (bike riders excepted).
• Head gear is reserved for Tops or experienced or heavy bottoms only.
• Bottoms may not own collars unless a particular Top has allowed that bottom to be the custodian of the Top’s collar. A bottom wearing a collar is a slave, and belongs to the owner of the collar who, presumably, has the keys. Other Tops are not to engage a collared bottom in conversation, but other bottoms may do so. Should such a relationship end, the collar must be returned to the Top.
• Never touch the bill of a bike cap, including your own.
• Never touch another man’s cap (or head gear) unless you are very intimate friends or lovers.
• Keep studs and other decorations to a tasteful minimum unless they happen to be club insignia.
• Never wear another man’s leather unless he puts it on you.
• Leather, other than boots and belt, must be ‘earned’ through the achievement of successively challenging ‘scenes.’
• Wearing gloves is reserved for heavy players, glove fetishists or bike riders.
• Always indicate SM preference, only with keys left or right.
• If you are cruising seriously, wear the keys out; if not seriously, tuck them in a back pocket.
• Always indicate strictly leather sex or ‘rough sex’ interest by wearing no keys at all.
• Those who ‘switch’ are second class players and not to be taken as seriously because they haven’t made their minds up. If you must switch, do so in another town.
• ‘Full’ leather is reserved for after 10:00 P.M. only and only with ‘our own kind’.
• Respect the public by wearing less of it during the day–don’t frighten old ladies (l did once by accident), or anyone else for that matter.
