This book is a detailed retrospective of the first twenty-five years of the National Leather Association: International. It follows the progression of one man's idea as it was achieved by the hands of many. As you will see while reading this story, the road that NLA took was certainly the one less traveled. The creation of the National Leather Association (NLA) marked the culmination of the hopes of many people for a national, pansexual organization that brought together all the diverse elements of the SM/leather/fetish community that emerged in the generation following World War II. While previous efforts to form a nationwide SM organization in the United States had failed, the NLA flourished and grew rapidly, particularly during its first decade. NLA chapters formed across the United States and Canada, and people attended the NLA's flagship event, the annual Living in Leather conference, from across the world. The first event of its kind, the Living in Leather (LIL) conference became a model for the other SM organizations and pioneered a format that remains common to virtually all SM conferences today.

To go from an unsure leather-interested person to a fully evolved leatherboy is one of the hardest things a person can do in life. But that is not the end of the journey for many people. The quest is never-ending, and the road is full of strange things, places, and lots of questions. In many cases the road forks and we take turns that could ultimately lead to a happy or horrible situation. A lot of this book will discuss the gay leather world. I will attempt to explain differences between the gay and straight world of BDSM. Even though this book is geared toward the homosexual male, do not assume it can benefit only gay males. Sexual gender has NOTHING to do with being a leatherboy - as you will learn in this book; the same lessons apply for any sexual orientation. Mind you, some dynamics may be altered, but the rules and reasons remain the same. This book will give you the tools and the insight into the alternative sexual world of the leatherboy and the pointers you will need to succeed.

Powerful, disturbing, erotic and visceral, Vincent Andrews pulls us into the mind of the sexual predator and takes the reader on a wild dark ride through the gay Leather scene.\nThis book is not for the faint of heart, but for the adventurous adult reader. It will excite and appall, often at the same time.\nThis book is destined to be a work that will swirl in controversy, and will anger some because of its depiction of the Leather scene as something dark, raw, sexual and seedy. Yet, it is precisely that darkness that makes the tale so powerfully erotic and makes the reader question their own values and attitudes. \nAs is the case with most trangressive fiction, Andrews forces you to see life outside the comfort zone, and does it does this with style and frankness.

In celebration of the more than a decade of success of The Complete leatherboy Handbook, Vince Andrews has focused his experience and insight on a new handbook. Now he takes on the challenge of introducing the reader to the greater world of Leather sexuality: gay and straight, male and female, D/s and S/M and Kink. Andrews explores the differences that make the greater Leather community so diverse and colorful, as well as the commonalities that have brought these groups together.With the same experience-based clarity and objective perspective he has brought to his previous work, Andrews explores the histories of the various groups that form Leather culture, and how those groups have intersected throughout the 20th century – and how they are growing into the 21st century. This book gives the reader historical background and a clear understanding of what makes up modern Leather culture: thought, art, ritual, fashion, public figures, legislation, and literature.The Leather &amp; BDSM Handbook is designed to provide a foundational understanding of the Leather culture to help not only newcomers to the scene, but also experienced Leatherfolk who are adjusting to the Leather community’s growth and development in new directions. Andrews’s work gives you the depth of understanding of the Leather world and its history to enable you to be comfortable communicating your own thoughts and views to others within the culture. Essentially, it provides the tools, insight, and understanding you will need to succeed in the world of Leather.

Yet another anthology from the deliberately shocking, hypermasculine author Cain Berlinger. Readers must recognize Berlinger’s works are never for the faint at heart. Often wrapped in a romantic cover and filigree font, his pages are riddled with debaucherous and degenerate characters intent on driving the readers through a wonderland of seedy, sexually graphic, hard-core scenes not seen since the pages of HONCHO, MANDATE, BLACK INCHES, DRUMMER, European magazine's TOY and MR. SM and other vintage publications. This is a selection of Cain Berlinger's darkest, most depraved, disturbing, and debauched stories in one intense volume. Tales of sexual obsession taken to extremity. Explore the depth and breadth of gay BDSM with the master of edgy erotica, Cain Berlinger. Dark, shocking, wild, and often painfully human, these stories will take you to the limits and beyond. This collection of short fiction pushes boundaries in every way and is not suitable for the fainthearted, and that is not a gimmick or ploy. Twisted has all but a new definition, and past readers have walked away... processing... what they just endured.
