SAleathermen is a national, community-based organisation dedicated to promoting the image of the South African leather community through visibility, advocacy, community outreach, and social and educational events.
With the broadening interest in (and increasing demystification of) the leather sub-culture, SAleathermen aims to bring together gay and bisexual men who have interest in exploring or participating in a leather/BDSM/fetish lifestyle.
This website is intended to provide a forum for dialogue regarding leather/BDSM/fetish interests and activities, to announce forthcoming events, to disseminate information of interest regarding community affairs, and to act as a means by which to connect men with similar fetishes and interests.
One of the principle aims of SAleathermen is to encourage exploration and discussion in an open, friendly, and non-judgmental atmosphere, the goals of which embrace the very nature of self-acceptance and diversity within the community-at-large. No longer does one “earn one’s leather.” Leather remains, at heart, an expression of one’s self; a facet of one’s sexual being.
By removing stigma and preconception, SAleathermen hopes to expand its following, not only amongst long-standing leathermen throughout South Africa, but to those who simply want to socialize or explore in a safe, consensual environment. Primary to this goal is providing the education and tools to make informed choices about BDSM, edge play, safer sex, and HIV/AIDS with neither derision nor judgment.
So thanks for joining and visiting our site. We welcome your participation and support.
