What We’re About
We envision an organization built on five principles:
Brotherhood
We are a fraternity of like-minded men who truly enjoy hanging out together. We’re just as likely to grab a workout, meal, or movie as we are to hang at a bar, event or playspace. We like each other, we grow together and we support one another.
Education
We want to learn more about being kinky players and seek out hands-on learning experiences from both our brothers and other experts in our community. We don’t pretend to know all that there is to know, but we endeavor to be a leading kinky resource for other gay men and for our city.
Gear
We are attracted to masculine fetish attire and we like to wear it. We don’t, however, have a specific dress code or door policy. We are leathermen and rubbermen and skinheads and skater punks and pups and athletes and MMA fighters and more. We embrace the broadest spectrum of gear and welcome whatever attire connects with your body, mind and spirit.
Play
We are men who play. Sex is an important part of our lives, and we love to have it in and out of gear. We actively foster opportunities for men to engage in play and support the events and venues at which play occurs.
Pride
We are proud to be fetish players and embrace our nature without shame. We celebrate our brotherhood and our diversity. We share our pride through our activities and events.
What We’re Not About
It’s probably just as important to say what we choose not to focus upon:
Complexity
We have no fetish for convoluted bylaws and procedures. We do not use Roberts Rules of Order to conduct business. We don’t have officers—we have organizers. And anyone can step up to organize something!
Fundraising
Our organization is a not-for-profit that supports our community through social and educational activities. We are not a charitable fundraising organization.
Politics
We do not play politics in our own organization, nor do we worry the politics of other fetish organizations. We do not do things just to be politically correct.
But Above All
We have fun! We gather because we enjoy hanging out together and learning more about gear and play! We actively seek out opportunities to incorporate fun into everything we do. If being part of our brotherhood is no longer fun, we shall either fix it or disband.
