QUOTATION OF THE WEEK
“…the proliferation of one-or- two contestant
Leather contests is/has become less and less
entertaining.”
– Cain Berlinger

PUPPY’S FIRST TRIP TO PADDLES
It was Puppy’s first time to Paddles. We arrived
within five minutes of each other and she was
standing with friends near the entrance at the bar.
I offered to show her around the place and hooded
her with an airline pillowcase. She could only see
where the lights were – not very helpful in a low
lit club with many dark corners. I led her around
to the various stations and guided her hands so
that she could fell the chains and the cuffs, the
padded benches and the bars of the cages. When
she felt the GYN table, she thought it was another
padded bench… until I put her hands on the
stirrups, she gasped, “Oh, that’s dirty!”
Later, we played in the back. I flogged her until
her skin started to peel. Well, she was sunburn.
Afterwards, we went upstairs to the corner with
the beanbags that seems like a dog bed. A
perfect spot for aftercare and cuddling. We
watched Boymeat top Cookie and then they joined
us in a puppy pile. Puppy was packing a dick and
Boymeat had the bright idea to ask for a condom
and went down on her. Puppy’s eyes opened wide.
Here was a bio guy who knew how to suck dyke
boy dick! Cookie and I cuddled and watched and I
played with her pussy. Puppy liked how Boymeat
sucked her dick. Next thing I know Puppy is using
her foot to play with Boymeat’s dick. Yowsa! A
big night for Puppy at Paddles. She’ll be back.

BI/POLY STUDY
Geri D. Weitzman, PhD is doing a study about the
identity development of people who are both
bisexual and polyamorous. She is looking for
survey participants who are bisexual,
polyamorous, and at least 18 years old. See
www.thesane.com/bipolysurvey
Dr. Geri Weitzman, a respected therapist and
researcher friendly to alternative lifestyles, is
conducting an anonymous internet-based study on
the identity development of people who are both
bisexual and polyamorous. If you are bisexual and
polyamorous, please take ten minutes to complete
this survey – the more data Dr. Weitzman has, the
more facts there are available to support bi-poly
life choices and inclinations.
You will find the survey at

Q & A OF THE WEEK
Q. I’m sure I’ve asked this before but can’t
find the answer. For soaking/care of canes is
mineral oil or linseed oil best or is there an
alternative?
A. I have been very lucky to be mentored by
one of the leading caning experts in the country:
Hilton of Purple Passion. He taught me to use
linseed oil once or twice a year, depending on
how dry your climate is. However, stripped
natural canes are best when soaked in water.

DIVA #5
Last weekend, I went down to New Orleans for the
LLC board meeting. Oh my, New Orleans is just such
a party town. Luckily, the board got all its business
done on Saturday during the day, so that left us lots
of time to have fun. We did a lot of drinking and
eating. I had beignets for the first time
(www.cafedumonde.com) and we ate at the legendary
Commander’s Palace (http://www.commanderspalace.com),
Margaretaville (www.margaritaville.com) and Acme
(nola.com/oystercam).
We also had a chance to meet with the LLC local
organizing committee, both in a formal meeting and at
a BBQ hosted by RampartDom. They have a lot of
great ideas and are doing a lot of planning. LLC-8 in
New Orleans will be fabulous. Mark your calendars for
April 2-4, 3004. Info: www.leatherleadership.org
On Saturday night we went to a play party hosted by
NOBLE (lanoble.org). I did not play but I voyeured.
Afterwards, back at the inn, Glenda Rider went over my
knee. After a long sensual warm up, she counted out
her birthday spanks. 40! Happy Birthday, Glenda! And
thanks for being part of my Diva Project.

EYE ON THE PRIZE
Pitchfork Productions’ “Eye On The Prize” intends to
cover award ceremonies and competitions that are not
well know, or rarely heard of, outside of the community
that they serve. The second episode will take viewers
behind the scenes of the Ms World Leather competition
and will follow three of the Ms World Leather contestants
as they go for possible victory. This episode hopes to
show what makes these passionate women tick, how
they got involved in the Adult Alternative Lifestyle
community, and what they think it takes to become the
winner.

LEATHER GIRL NETWORK
sheryl dee, American Leatherwoman 2003 and other
leather girls from around the country are creating the
Leather Girl Network. Leather girls are defined as men
and women, slaves, submissives, and bottoms with a
feminine heart. Leather girls are not defined by biology
or role within the leather community. ABW, Inc has now
also included the new title of American Leathergirl.
“As the boy movement has gained momentum, girls
have begun to find their voice, say Sheryl dee. “On my
travels around the country i frequently hear from other
leather girls a sense of loneliness and a desire to find
a social support network. As a femme slave, i know how
isolating it can be at times when the only groups or
organizations we seem able to find are boys clubs.”
You can find Leather Girl Network at
groups.yahoo.com/group/Leather_Girl_Network
It is intended as need a place to share stories, support,
learn from each other and grow. Info:

Q & A OF THE WEEK
Q. I’ve got this friend. She’s interested in
submission but she has this problem…she can’t handle
smells. I don’t mean ‘could you bathe once a week,
please?’ I mean, she can’t handle the smell of a person
who’s showered two minutes ago. It’s just body smells,
too. Not even body /odor/, but just normal…body
smells. I already asked about putting her shirt over her
head (heh. Always thinking, me!) but, apparently that’s
not enough. Have you heard of this before?
Suggestions? Thanks so much!
A. Well, she must have a problem with plain old
vanilla sex, then, too. She has a big problem here.
Maybe she needs to talk to a doctor about it. Barring
that, she needs to either mask the odor with something
stronger smelling or else block the smell – maybe with
a hood.

O DOES NYC
Peggy aka O came to NYC to visit. We went to a meet & greet for Eden Safarty, the new Executive Director for NCSF. He brought along his three partners – he’s poly!
She also made a leg of lamb. It was sheer slop. When she asked Neptune how he liked the meal, he did not want to contradict his Master. He explained to her that slave standards were different from the rest of the world, and as a slave, he would say that it was very good. We both had a laugh at how he had squirmed his way out of that one. But, alas, I deemed it slop and caned her butt as punishment. She will be given another opportunity to try again.

BOOK REVIEW: KISS OF FIRE
by Susan Wright
Ever since Robert Mapplethorpe’s photographs were used to help justify the defunding of the National Endowment of the Arts, there has been a question whether sadomasochism is a fit subject for art. Barbara Nitke answers with a resounding YES! in her new book, Kiss of Fire. With over 60 crisp duotone photographs and published on heavy stock by Kehrer Verlag Heidelberg in Germany, Nitke presents a world of sadomasochism that few will ever see.
Nitke’s photographs can be shocking at times in their frankness. A bound man cries out in pleasure and agony as another man behind him, naked to the waist, plays upon his body. A pale woman is seated on a toilet, vulnerable and timid, with all of her attention focused on the woman leaning over her. An ordinary couple stand in the classic “American Gothic” pose in front of an ordinary house, yet the woman is naked and heavily pregnant.
Each of Nitke’s photographs is attuned to the interplay between the partners and the love that manifests even in the most extreme sexual encounters. Their interaction feels spontaneous; a charged moment frozen in time. Yet each scene is framed in a gently formal composition that makes even the most outrageous accruements seem beautiful.
In Kiss of Fire, Nitke writes of her experience exploring the SM community and her increasing desire to photograph the lovers she saw. “I loved watching them float around together at parties,” Nitke says, “Flying on their endorphins, lost in each other. I loved the ones who would spend days cooking up intricate, delicious scenes to tantalize the other and then tell you about it afterwards like mischievous kids.”
In Kiss of Fire, Nitke has captured the intense energy of these couples’ passion as well as the deep intimacy and trust that is required to engage in SM. For anyone who has ever wanted a deeper look into the glorious contradictions of kinky sexuality, Kiss of Fire is a must for you.
Nitke offers signed copies of Kiss of Fire from her website: www.BarbaraNitke.com

“But she does cut a dashing figure in her silver
Spandex action suit. As filled out by the sculptural
beauty of Angelina Jolie, that silver suit seems to lie
at the center of the game’s adolescent appeal: it
idealizes the female form while making it completely
inaccessible, a kind of full-body chastity belt that both
arouses and reassures.”

First we went to dinner. This was a bit confusing to
me, because I thought a munch was when you sat
down to a meal in a restaurant and socialized, but
not this munch… OK, we had dinner and I got my
first taste of alligator tail. Yum!
The Munch was held at a nightclub. Admission was
$15 per person and open only to those on a guest
list which listed screen names only. The bar was
very nice and clean with lots of candles and tables
to socialize. Two vendors had spread out there
wares on the pool tables. Three or four pieces of
equipment were set up on the dance floor and a
magnanimous buffet was laid out. It got pretty
crowded and we headed outside to the back patio.
A cross was set up for play but people were using it.
What the hell, we don’t need no stinking equipment!
Peggy stepped up to the wooden fence.
The scene started off very typically for us, but it
perplexed Peggy’s friend. I flog her and we chat.
We talk about all sorts of stuff through the warm-up.
This rattled Peggy’s friend. It’s not really “how it’s
done.” Not that I care how it’s done. Peggy and I
have been playing 7 years and it works for us. It just
doesn’t seem sexy to an onlooker.
Once our scene gets going, Peggy will shut up and
I will lay into her with the floggers. I switched to my
single tail. Peggy and I used to do practice scenes
with my single tail. We hadn’t done a practice session
in over two years, maybe three. She would wear a
corset and drape a towel around her neck and I would
try new strokes on her back. Well, for the last year or
two, I have been practicing an overhand stroke but
never used it on anybody. That night I tried on Peggy.
It was pretty intense. She reacted to it like it was
intense but then gave me the thumbs up. This gave
me a lot of confidence and I lashed her again and again.
Finally, I told her to count out three more for me. 1. 2.
3.
I grabbed her and got her off. It happened so fast –
she was so ready. Our favorite aftercare for that
scene is for me to spray her with alcohol and then set
it on fire several times.
The next morning, we met up with the munch folks
for breakfast (a $5 buffet) and then headed back to
Ft Lauderdale. We dropped in to visit Pup and we all
skinny-dipped in the pool. Lawrence stopped by and
swam, too. Then we headed over to Club Kink where
I presented on Fantasies & Role Play for SPICE.
Monday was my day with Pup. Pup is a plant freak.
His backyard looks like a botanical garden. We went to
a nursery to spend a gift certificate from his brother.
Then we went and bought potting soil at Home Depot.
Bear can’t understand why Pup buys expensive dirt and
has put a moratorium on buying any more plants, but I
think he secretly loves the garden.

100 DIVAS
A little while back, I started my 100 Divas Project to
spank 100 Divas. This was inspired by Lthr Edge’s 100
Bloggers Project. Divas on the list so far are: Midori,
Tristan and FifthAngel.
I was lucky to be in Ft Myers for WhypDancer’s birthday.
Peggy and I spanked her and she is now the newest Diva
to the list. She is owner of the Ft Myers Munch and quite

IMsL AND IMsBB 2003
By Kari (IMsBB 2002)
[Editor’s note: Kari attended the International Ms
Leather and International Ms Bootblack weekend in
Omaha, Nebraska last weekend and wrote this
report.]
Friday night was the basket auction and drawing for
my headshaving fundraiser. The bootblack contestants
raised approximately $2,200 and the IMsL contestants
raised approximately $1800! The grand total for my
headshaving fundraiser was $1,100 (with $550 being
donated to the American diabetes Association in honor
of my oldest son, slaveboi eddie and my club brother
Lou). Thank you to everyone who contributed!!
I asked Leigha Fleming, of NCSF, a friend, and also
one of the judges for the weekend to draw (also,
she didn’t want me to shave my head, so she didn’t
have a ticket in there). She was dressed as an
adorable schoolgirl. That should have been the first
sign of danger. The second was when she drew the
name out, started saying “nonononononono!” and
ate the ticket. I chased her down and stuck my fingers
in her mouth (not smart on my part, since she bit me,
and I had to call her a bitch, but I got the paper back).
The winner was Sarah Humble. I couldn’t believe it.
Leigha was very upset that her Daddy won… for about
10 minutes.. then when the hair started coming off, she
was making suggestions, like “let’s leave those curls at
her ears.”
I’d said that if someone AT the contest won the drawing
and wanted to do the shaving that night, I’d wear
whatever was done to my head on stage for my stepdown
during the contest on Saturday. I had no idea Leigha
would be so evil. They left me with curls. Or as Richie,
IMrBB03, said, “tendrils” at my ears and forehead. Sarah,
Leigha, Amy Marie and I’m pretty sure a couple others
were given turns with the clippers. It ended up being a
group effort, right in the bar. I’ve been promised pictures.
Saturday night, in my pvc vinyl catsuit, shaved head,
glammed up eyes, and “tendrils,” I looked like a being
from another planet. All in all, it was another great IMsL
and I had a really good time.
I taught a class Saturday morning called “Taking it
Back” for survivors of abuse, taking the power back
and making it hot again. It was at 10am, so not too
many showed up, but those that did all made a point
to say something to me over the weekend, to thank me
for taking the time to have a class like that. It meant so
much! That’s what makes a class like that worthwhile 🙂
I was also Leigha’s demo bottom for her class “So you
want me to let you breathe?” Needless to say, I was
toast when I headed back over to the bootblack area
to see if things were going smoothly. Ian (Bootblack
Toronto 2002) and Richie (IMrBB03) were handling the
volunteer table wonderfully. I’d staffed it some Friday
and lined up volunteers to sell travel fund pins (thanks
to the volunteers!!!!!) It was great to have Ian and
Richie to take over when I had other responsibilities
on Saturday.
There were some really great contestants this year,
for both contests. Tammie Nelson, sponsored by Great
Lakes Leather Alliance won IMsL and slaveboi eddie
(my first runner up from last year) won IMsBB! At the
press conference Sunday morning (I was honestly
sneaking away for a nap and got pulled in, but I’m
glad I was there) I heard Tammie say that she felt
the titles were equal and if you asked her to an event,
she’d love to come, please send her and eddie a ticket.
I loved hearing that! The bonding between the
contestants this year was just amazing. Every
bootblack, Katie from Philly, eddie from LA, joe from
Toronto and ember from NLA Dallas, was not only a
good black, but a nice person. That counts big in my
book. I didn’t get to spend quite as much time with
the IMsL contestants, though they seemed just as
great.
There was a mix up in bootblack envelopes and 1st
runner up got switched around. boi joe, Mr. Leatherman
Toronto Bootblack was announced as 1st runner up.
boi joe stood up at the victory brunch, with great
dignity, and explained the situation, and awarded the
medallion to Katie. It was a bittersweet moment. I was
happy for Katie and felt bad for joe, yet joe handled
herself with such decorum and eloquence, I had nothing
but admiration for her. It was explained that Pat Ballie
had simply mixed up contestant numbers. I was very
proud of how joe and Katie handled themselves and
the situation. At the end of the victory brunch, we took
pictures on the stairs with all the bootblacks there..
10 or more? It was great!
Thank you to Kari for sharing her experience with us.

Q & A OF THE WEEK
Q. If you wanted to give someone who is brand
spanking new, one or two web sites that give them a
good positive base for WIITWD or will answer the first
few questions and do it in a way that is realistic and
not idealist or “fairytale”-ish, what would you
recommend? Where would you point them? I’ve got
the books. I’m just looking for websites that will help
someone who doesn’t even have a clue what BDSM is

EVENTS OF THE WEEK
Friday 7.25 NYC
DFS presents “Chains….The missing link of Bondage”
with Rick Umbaugh. Like rope, chain is a flexible strand
which can attach to body parts then attach body parts
to other body parts or to inanimate objects. Unlike
rope you can leave the attachment points accessible to
your prisoner since without access to the keys the
attachments are unbreakable. Unlike rope chains will
not bind when used properly or tighten. 7:45pm at
Paddles, 250 W 26th St, between 7 & 8 Aves. $8 ($4
for DSF & affiliate members). Info:
www.DomSubFriends.com
Saturday 7.26 NYC

Advance-play concepts and how to integrate them into
a scene. Please bring yourselves and a partner. 2-5pm

discount for members of TES and other SM/leather orgs).

Saturday 7.26 NYC
NYC Female slave Forum: “Unlearning Old Habits as
you Learn Obedience” Change is extraordinarily
difficult to bring about and even tougher to sustain.
Humans are notoriously resistant to change — even
change we really, really want. Further, if you think
that falling back into old patterns is “failure,” that can
actually hinder your growth and make you less likely to
continue the work needed to achieve change. Rather,
it’s important to understand that relapse is part of the
process of unlearning habits. Every time you try again,
you are more likely to succeed — and eventually you will.
2-4pm. Info: 917-470-4738 or
http://slave_catherine.tripod.com/slaveforum
Saturday 7.26 NYC
TES Spanking Group: “A Night of Severe Spanking”
with Sconee Mike and August. This meeting will cover
spanking within a D/s context, non-traditional toys with

spanking scene. Stay after 10pm for a reduced
admission to Paddles. 7:30-10pm at Paddles, 250 W
26 St., between 7th & 8th Aves. $8 ($4for members of

or www.tes.org
Sunday 7.27 NYC
Masters And slaves Together/NYC (men only) Meeting:
“The Public Face Of Your Private Life.” Humans are social
animals, and we all live in a much larger world than just
the s/m-leather scene. Eventually we have to come out
of the “dungeon” and deal with that larger world. How
far do you go in making your Mastery/slavery evident to
people not directly involved in it? How do the visible signs
and signals of a Master/slave or other D/s partnership
vary in different environments? 3-6pm at The LGBT
Center, 208 W. 13th St, between 7 & Greenwich Aves.
$5 donation (or whatever you can afford).
This Monday and every Monday Cyberspace
Back by popular demand (maybe not so popular but
surely demanding…): The Eulenspiegel Not Til chat
room on AOL 10pm-Midnight. NOT a TES event but an
unofficial place online where many TES members and
friends hang out and talk. No set topic. It is a good
place to ask questions, debate the answers, ask and
receive advice, compare notes about the scene, gossip
about last week, plan the upcoming week, flirt a little,
be serious and not so serious. On AOL in the Town
Square area of the People Connection in a “member
room” – not private: aol://2719:61-2-Eulenspiegel not
til. Add this location to your Favorite Places Folder so
that it’s easy to come back.
Tuesday 7.29 NYC
TES Meeting: “Book Reading: Susan Wright’s: “Slave

Casting” with Mlle. Mercy. The rope was lovely… the
cuffs were fun… but for long-term bondage… the
fiberglass won. Mlle. Mercy will demonstrate how to put
medically accurate casts on someone for private and
public fun. And if you’re very good, she’ll also
demonstrate how to take them off again. $8 ($4 for

THUNDER
Neptune and I had an awesome trip to Denver. We
got in Thursday and went downtown for dinner at The
Buckhorn Exchange with FifthAngel, Leslie and T. This
was our splurge meal for the weekend. We ate Rocky
Mountain oysters, rattlesnake dip, buffalo steak, yak,
elk, quail and more. Yum!
We woke up at 4am and left the hotel at 5am and
headed out to Red Rocks where we climbed up and
off the trail to a spot that seemed very close to
Heaven. As Leslie and I sat on a rock with the sun
in our faces and the wind at our backs, FifthAngel
and Neptune went into the field to do a ritual. Don’t
ask me what that was about. I saw it, but did not
understand what was going on. And that’s okay.
When they were through, I did my own little ritual
with Neptune and peed on him. We then headed
out to Denny’s for a hearty breakfast.
In the afternoon, Neptune accompanied Mommy Cara
to pick up Mr Dawson at the airport. They dressed
alike: black boots, blue jeans and those little navy
blue NYPD tanks. It is cool to have someone in service
to you but when there are two of them and they are
dressed alike, it is so much more impressive.
Rich Dockter, the owner of Thunder, spoke at the
Meet & Greet. He explained how he did outreach to
the Denver Police and then at the last minute found
out that the hotel was in Aurora County! Oops!
After meeting with the local police, he explained to
us that the most vulnerable area was the lobby with
its bar, restaurant and liquor license. He asked us to
“behave like we were in church” and not grope each
other in the lobby. He then introduced the presenters.
Thunder totally blows me away because it has such
an amazing line-up of presenters. And I still can’t
believe I am one of them. Wow!
We then went to play in the dungeon. I had a date
with T who is somebody I have been playing with
since the 2nd Thunder in 1999. She had mentioned
something about her crotch and my singletail. I
expanded on that to include inner thighs plus a lot of
other toys as well. Fun! Then I gave Neptune his
first cutting. It was not too deep and, a week later,
it is totally healed and gone. But, nonetheless, it was
still intense and he cried a little bit. Opening skin
brings out emotions.
On Saturday morning I taught my “Kidz Rule: Age
Play For Consenting Adults” class. It was a lot
different than last year because we had arts & crafts
during the lecture. There were many more kidz
acting out and it was pretty wild. We also practiced
our songs for the big show on Saturday night. About
a dozen of us got up in front of everybody (!) and
sang our songs. We were a hit! Everybody laughed
and applauded.
I saw two other workshops: Fred Katz teaching
Extreme Rope Bondage and Master Skip’s Cathartic
Flogging. Fred understands bondage for bondage
sake and I really like that. He taught us that
restraining a bottom’s hands behind their back first
puts them into a submissive headspace quickly. He
showed us how to add rope to immobilize the bottom.
He added more rope because, as he explained,
bottoms just love more rope. BTW Fred prefers
unfinished (scratchy!) hemp rope.
Master Skip is a great presenter. He is very
organized and prepared and he really breaks down
the concept of what he is teaching into understandable
points: intention, surrender and focus. Technique is
not so important. Later that night, in the dungeon,
Peggy aka O and I co-topped Blue. While we did not
exactly follow all of Master Skip’s guidelines, the scene
definitely was cathartic. We beat the crap out of Blue
and he broke and cried. We canceled our other play
date for that evening and went up to the room for
some aftercare.
On Sunday morning, Neptune and I taught
Relationships From Scratch and then hurried back to
the room to get ready for The Ritual with Fakir Musafar
and Cleo Dubois. I going to write about that for next
week’s P+P as I am still processing that.
On Sunday night, we went to the Thunder
Afterparty in a warehouse that was very hot and
sweaty. Damn, I love bottoming to impact in hot and
sweaty warehouses! Alas, I was already committed
to top. FifthAngel and I were co-topping O.
Co-topping? More like running interference! –
pointing out certain physical and emotional limits to
him and reassuring the DMs. In the meantime,
Neptune was standing around socializing and that
just would not do! So, I “invited” him to get naked
and kneel on the concrete floor. I tied him up with
rope and used vetwrap as a blindfold and just let
him stew.
Anyway, Thunder is an awesome event. Try to get
there next year!

NCSF SUMMER MEDIA SUMMARY
It’s been a busy quarter for NCSF’s Media committee!
We celebrated the arrival of our new Executive Director,
Eden Sarfaty, and the launch of our new and improved
website: www.ncsfreedom.org. NCSF also released
our updated brochure prominently featuring our
constituencies — the SM-leather-fetish, swing and
polyamory communities. In addition, the Media
committee kicked off our featured “NCSF Profile”
covering a key NCSF staffer every quarter. The
current NCSF Profile is an interview with Leigha
Fleming who served as NCSF’s Interim Executive
Director and continues to serve as Director of
Constituency Services.
Throughout this quarter, NCSF continued to help
individuals, local communities and organizations who
became the target of media inquiries. The Colorado
SM community was featured nationally in the media
when the Labyrinth was closed down due to zoning
issues, and Tribal Fire in Oklahoma was again
targeted by religious extremists who took out ads in
the local papers denouncing the event. In all, NCSF
Spokesperson Susan Wright and Swing Spokesperson
Sue Gould gave over 20 interviews with the media on
the rights of adults to practice consensual sexual
expression.
NCSF was also pleased to herald the recent Supreme
Court’s decision overturning sodomy laws in the U.S.
This should have a huge impact on all Americans in the
affirmation of our right to privacy!

reporters to training spokespeople for your group or

cause non serious injury during consensual adult
sexual activity. To help advance this campaign The
Spanner Trust is conducting a research project aimed
at gathering information on the extent to which injury
of any sort occurs during sex.

ODE TO MY KID BROTHER
This month is the 7 year anniversary of when Officer
Hogg and I took Sir Phil to the Boston Fetish Flea for the
weekend. Sir Phil was heterosexual, dominant and 19
years old. After we got through with him, …well, let’s
just say he was now Boymeat, a bisexual switch and
still 19.
Now he’s my kid brother, submissive bottom, friend and
confidant. We share a lot and we think alike and we love
each other and trust each other like nobody else. We s
pent Saturday in Coney Island – the aquarium, the sideshow,
Nathan’s, the boardwalk. It was the perfect day and he’s
the perfect little brother. We can split a dozen clams,
share cigarettes and talk about anything and everything.
It’s an amazing relationship and I’m lucky to have it.

SURVEY ON HUMILIATION
niki is doing some informal research into various aspects
of BDSM. At this point, she is particularly curious about the
relative importance of humiliation in others’ BDSM
experiences. Toward that end, she has created
this survey:
1. Do you consider yourself primarily:
a. Dominant
b. Submissive
c. A more or less 50/50 switch?
2. Do you feel good about your own BDSM practice?
a. yes
b. no
c. ambivalent
3. In general (not necessarily in your own practice), do
you consider humiliation to be:
a. An important aspect of BDSM
b. Of minor importance in BDSM
c. Entirely dependent on the individuals involved
4. In general, do you consider humiliation as a part of
BDSM to be:
a. Healthy
b. Unhealthy
c. No opinion
5. Look at the BDSM play that you have personally
experienced and, on a scale of 0 to 10, rate the relative
importance of each of the following matters:
a. Power exchange
b. Physical pain
c. Restraint
d. Service play
e. Humiliation.
f. Exposure to others than your partner(s).
6. Are you satisfied with your experience? If you would
change it, would humiliation play a lesser or greater role?
Using the same scale as before, can you say how large the
shift would be?
If you find the multiple choices too limiting, feel free to
express your own thoughts at the bottom. Please e-mail
your finished survey to aracos@sover.net, with the
subject line, “Survey.”

Q & A OF THE WEEK
Q. im looking for some info/advice on threesomes.
im 18 and have only had 2 brief sexual partners so feel
inexperienced yet confident enough to proform sexual acts.
i have recently been asked to join a married couple of a
slightly older age (21) from the same town,to join in with
them as they are looking for a 3rd party.im interested in
the offer but dont really want to go in wivout any sort of
info before hand.obviously i need to make sure they’re ok,
but should i meet with them a couple of times before hand
and when i get there wot’s likely to happen etc???!! any
info u cud send me or advise me on wud be great.
A. You need to communicate with them about the
threesome. Have they done this before? What do they
want to do? What don’t they want to do? What do they
expect from you? You need to tell them what you are
interested in and also what you will not do.
Talking about expectations and limits beforehand can
mean the difference between a great time and a nightmare.
I remember that I did not talk at all before my first
threesome and was disappointed with how it turned out.
Now, I know how to say what I want and I participate in
some great threesomes. I especially love the energy of
couples and feel it is a real treat to be able to participate
in their sexual connection.

THE MYTHS OF DOMINANCE PART 2
By Peggy aka O
Myth No. 2 – Knowing How to Dominate is Innate
How many times have we heard a Dominant proclaim
that they are a “natural” dominant or that they were
“born this way”? Certainly the predisposition may have
been there from an early age. However just because
someone has a preference to be in charge does not mean
they are automatically good at it. If one looks at people
who are viewed by those around them as good leaders
are consistently working on the things that make them
that way. The reason we refer to leadership skills is
because effective leadership does require specific skills.
People, as a general rule, don’t follow along just because.
People are inspired to follow someone. They follow because
they usually have goals they want to obtain and they feel
the leader in question can get them there. They trust their
well being to that leader because something in that leader
has inspired that trust. Dominants need to remember that
the people who follow them don’t have to – they choose to.
The trust in a leader is a fragile thing. It is dynamic and
the inspiration needs to continue. If a submissive loses
trust in the Dominant’s ability to lead effectively, the
relationship is in serious jeopardy. As submissives
occasionally point out, they don’t need a Dominant to
make crappy decisions for them – they are perfectly
capable of doing that on their own. The reason for
having a leader it that they are able to take you
somewhere you aren’t able to go on your own.
Everyone at some point in their life has probably had a
boss or someone in some leadership position that they
have looked up to as someone who is a good leader.
What makes someone a good leader, a benevolent
autocrat that inspires others to move heaven and earth
for them? What skills do we look for when we are
looking for a good Ds relationship leader? What tools
can someone use to be an effective leader?
Skills
Skill #1 – Honesty
People may be surprised to find that honesty is a skill,
however the ability to communicate with someone in an
honest manner, particularly if the message is an
unpleasant one is not particularly innate. There is a
human tendency to not want to tell people things that
will produce a negative reaction. One of the main
justifications one hears for dishonesty is that the person
doing the lying did not want to hurt the other person with
the truth. Although there are exceptions, for the most
part this is self-serving in that the bad new deliver really
does not want to have to face the consequences and
negative reaction of the other person. However, those
who are in search of a leader generally do not consider
people who have trouble dealing with others around
unpleasantness as good prospects for the position. A
leader is generally viewed as someone who can deliver
bad news honestly, deal with the fallout, and move on.
Skill #2 – Consistency
Nothing is more frustrating for those following than to
have a leader who changes course on a whim. Good
leaders are seen as people who have a plan, have
mapped out a course and follow through on it, making
adjustments on the way as necessary, but not changing
their minds in a seemingly random manner. For someone
in relationship with a Dominant, it is important to be able
to rely on the Dominant’s reaction to specific behaviors
and activities and it is important to be able to anticipate
to a certain extent. If the Dominant is erratic, it reduces
the effectiveness of their leadership. Those who follow
them are not able to trust in the vision the Dominant has
because the Dominant themselves have trouble
translating their vision into reality. For Ds relationships
where discipline and punishment are part of the mix,
consistency becomes particularly important. Trust can be
seriously damaged by a Dominant whose pattern of
being punishing happens, for example to track to the
level of stress they are having at the workplace.
Consistency in behavior and enforcement of rules creates
trust and a certain level of predictability at the core.
Skill #3 – Clarity
If the people around you frequently misunderstand or
misinterpret what you’re saying, chances are that they’re
not stupid, but rather that your communication style is
ineffective. When giving instructions, it helps to make a
mental outline of what you want to communicate – key
points and clear descriptions of specific tasks to be
performed. This is important particularly if tasks need to
be completed in a certain order. In developing clear
communication styles, it can help to put things in writing
first before sitting down and talking about them. This gives
structure to the discussion and is a way of ensuring that
nothing is left out. Again, clear, understandable behavior
and communication goes a long way in getting people to
follow. Be clear, then get out of the way.
Skill #4 – Communication
Communication of goals, ideas and method are important
to effective leadership. Although, as with anything, there
are exceptions, most people like to know why they are doing
something, how decisions will impact them and they like to
be part of the decision making process, even if they are not
making the final decision. If there is communication and
participation, even if the decision turns out to be a poor
one, everyone has ownership and there won’t be
resentment against the leader for making a unilateral
decision that proved to be stupid. There are Dominants
who feel that communicating with their submissives isn’t
necessary – that the submissive is there to obey and that
understanding goals and reasons isn’t necessary.
However, unless the Dominant makes perfect decisions
every time, the effect of pure unilateral, unaided decision
making is that, not only is the Dominant not making use
of all assets and information available, but each bad
decision erodes the trust of submissive in the leadership
skills of the Dominant.
Skill #5 – Patience
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Neither is a relationship.
People, Dominants and submissives alike have bad days.
They make bad decisions. They exercise poor judgment.
They get cranky. Life gets in the way. Learning to roll with
the punches and not get mired in details are generally
considered skills that good leaders have honed. When
things go askew, clarity of communication, refocusing on
end goals and being consistent in dealing with the
situation will help provide ongoing trust in the leader’s
capabilities.
Skill #6 – Ability to see a Global Perspective
As pointed out earlier, people follow because they believe
the leader has the ability to get them somewhere they do
not feel they can go on their own. In order to be able to
do this, a leader needs to take into account, not only their
own perspective and needs, but the perspective and needs
of those around them. Although submissives sometimes
declare that they only want what their Dominant wants,
the reality of humans is that everyone has individual
needs and desires. Altruism has limits. Although people
can subjugate their needs to another, basic human
psychology dictates that, at some point the person will
want their own needs met. If someone sees their leader
making decisions with apparent disregard for the effect it
will have on those under their command, their desire to
follow will disintegrate. This is readily apparent if one looks
at military hierarchy – leaders who have lost the faith of
their followers, particularly in times of war, frequently end
up deposed, circumvented or even dead. Sometimes
Dominants fall into the ego trap of doing something
“because they can”. However because one can doesn’t
make something a good idea.
All of these skills are things that can be worked on and
refined. Although some people are born with these skills
as part of their personality, most people have to work on
them. The people who we generally identify as good
leaders have these skills. Those are the people that
inspire others to follow them – in short they are the ones
who are good Dominants in the long run.

RAIN – BLECH!
I had a great weekend in spite of the rain. Naught
Nancy was in town and did a great workshop at LSM on
Shaving. I am now inspired to buy a straight edge razor.
Neptune thinks I should try to shave a balloon first, but
Nancy said that was a waste and she never did that.
Be afraid, Neptune! The next day, in spite of the rain,
we went motorcycling around Red Hook with Nancy.
Neptune has his license but is still a beginner and will
be until he gets his own bike. We got very wet but
stripped off our clothes and threw them in the dryer.
The rain cleared up for the first half of Folsom but it all
shut down early. I packed up a soggy NCSF outreach
table and headed out to Chinese.

SOME THOUGHTS ON THE POLITICS & ETHICS OF OUTING
By John Weis
I was a little surprised at the recent outrage at the
P&P for revealing the dirty little secrets of a certain
investigative reporter, and toward me for having the
audacity to suggest wider distribution of that account
in a post to sm-act. “An act of terrorism!” declared one
pseudonymous poster. I feel no vested interest in
outing said reporter, but I am comfortable if others do,
without us going to red alert as a community.
“Outing,” a term coined by Time Magazine in late 1989,
originally meant declaring closeted public figures to be
gay or lesbian, usually for some political purpose.
Hypocrisy was always the rationale for outing.
Outing has always been controversial, and by definition,
non-consensual. It played an important role in the
guerilla politics of the early 1990s and was aimed mostly
towards closeted elected officials who voted against AIDS
funding and/or LGBT initiatives by day, while carousing
gay bars by night.
Nowadays, the expression has been watered-down
and mainstreamed to mean revealing just about anything
without the written consent of the subject – what simply
used to be called gossip. (i.e. She was outed as a Ben
and Jerry’s addict.)
I don’t believe in the politics of personal destruction. I
don’t think the private should become public as a matter
of anger, spite, or revenge. But if you’re a public figure
who denounces, derides, or votes against that which you
gladly participate in privately, I will support the exposure
of your hypocrisy. Period.
Is it “nice”? Of course not, but this isn’t about being
nice. This is about the real world of “fuck with me, and
I’ll fuck with you” and I think there are plenty of
circumstances that arise to that threshold. But for me
the math is simple: public figure + hypocrisy = candidate
for outing.
Maybe I’m more comfortable with the idea then some
because as a gay man I have had more opportunities to
be outraged at self-righteous, duplicitous hypocrites.
Maybe I delight in a little Schadenfreude. Maybe it’s
simply the right thing to do.
I don’t believe there will ever be consensus on the issue.
Regardless, outing – whether it’s the revelation that
morals czar Bill Bennett is a degenerate gambler or that
monogamy maven Andrew Sullivan is trolling for group
sex on the Internet – is here to stay.
For those interested in reading more about “outing,”
I highly recommend “Contested Closets: the Politics
and Ethics of Outing”, by University of Pennsylvania
Professor Larry P. Gross.

NCSF APPLAUDS US SUPREME COURT RULING ON TEXAS
SODOMY LAW
The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom applauds the
U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down the Texas
sodomy law. The justices voted 6-3 to overturn their
1986 decision on Bowers v Hardwick (GA), stating that
the sodomy law is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy
and that by singling out gay people, it violates the
Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection under the
law.
NCSF believes, as the court held today, that state
sodomy laws violate the fundamental privacy rights of
adults in the U.S. These intrusive sodomy laws regulate
the right of consenting adults to engage in sexual
activities such as oral and anal sex as well as playing
with sex toys in their bedroom or in private venues such
as swing clubs or SM playspaces. Our core constituencies
require the right to privacy and equal protection in order
to be free of discrimination, and because consenting
adults have the fundamental right to express their
private sexuality without government interference.
“The state cannot demean their existence or control
their destiny by making their private sexual conduct a
crime,” Justice Kennedy wrote, according to a report from
The Associated Press.
Of the 13 states with sodomy laws, four — Texas,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri — prohibit oral and anal
sex between same-sex couples. The other nine ban
consensual sodomy for everyone: Alabama, Florida, Idaho,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Utah and Virginia. Thursday’s ruling apparently invalidates
those laws as well.
“This ruling is a major victory for us all,” stated Eden
Sarfaty, Executive Director of NCSF. “State sodomy laws,
which generally define the act of sodomy as “deviant” sex,
have been on the books of every state as recently as 1960.
Such laws have a significant impact on society in general by
attempting to legislate morality. The U.S. Supreme Court
has sent a strong message today that government has no
right to intrude into our private sexual lives.”

EDEN SAFARTY NAMED EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF NCSF
The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) has
named Eden Sarfaty as Executive Director. Sarfaty, a
Washington, DC attorney, is an expert in the area of
legislative and administrative law, with experience in the
management of national associations, lobbying at all
levels of state and federal government, and criminal
defense. He will take the helm from Leigha Fleming,
acting Executive Director, on July 1st, 2003.
“As Executive Director, I look forward to supporting
NCSF’s grassroots mission of advocacy for the
SM-leather-fetish, swing and polyamory communities,”
Sarfaty said. “Our challenges will be to encourage the
energy and focus the resources of our communities to
dispel myths, help get reliable and useful information to
people who need or want it, and to foster the tolerance
and respect that Americans of all kinds so rightly value.”
“Eden is a proven leader and manager with experience
in running national organizations,” stated Vivienne
Kramer, Chairperson of NCSF. “These are qualities that
NCSF needs at this period in our growth. The Board of
Directors’ Search Committee conducted an objective
screening process and interviewed a diverse group of
strong candidates who were eager to work with NCSF.
We chose Eden because of his outstanding skills,
enthusiasm and dedication to fighting for the sexual
freedom of consenting adults.”
NCSF thanks Judy Guerin and Richard Cunningham for
their generous gift to fund the salary of NCSF’s new
executive director for the following six months. With this
donation, Guerin, former Executive Director for NCSF
(1999-2002), continues to demonstrate her long-standing
commitment to NCSF and the alternative sexuality
communities. “Without Judy’s assistance, we would not be
where we are today,” said Kramer.
“I’m delighted that Eden Sarfaty will be coming on
board!” stated Leigha Fleming. “While I’ve been pleased
that I could serve as Interim Executive Director, I’m even
more pleased that I’ll now be able to return my full
attention and focus to the development of NCSF’s
constituency services. We have new programs ready for
release and will be doing national staff training in August.
I’m excited about our new programs and even more
gratified that our we’re seeing greater utilization of our
Incident Response and Law Enforcement Outreach
Programs by members of the SM-leather-fetish, swing
and polyamory communities.”

Q & A OF THE WEEK
A. I am sure you do not remember me, we have
met a couple times, most recently at BR, and I am
interested to hear a bit more about the “coloring books”
you bought at IML, as I am currently waiting for my “little
girl” to move here with me, and as she was not able to
have coloring books as a child, she is more than interested
in having them now, and I want them to have that lovely,
kinky theme if at all possible. If you know where I can
get those, or any other source of coloring books for those
of a leather bent, I would appreciate it. If not, then
thanks for at least reading this.
Q. I don’t know if I would call this coloring book
“lovely, kinky” because it is tough, macho, homosexual,
extreme man meat (perfect for me). It’s called Book Two:
The Hun Coloring Book and it costs $20. It’s poster-sized
so you can take the staples out and hang up your work
when it’s finished. Or you can trace the work if you want
to keep the book pristine. You can do more than just color
with crayons (or pencils or markers), you can add air (or
delete it with whiteout), add tattoos, add clothing, lash
marks, etc. You can add dialogue.
The Hun has a website at http://www.hunart.com/ but
the website does not have his complete work on it and it
does not have this book. But write to him and he will
know what you are talking about. He’s a really nice guy.
Make sure you tell him you are over 21.

This Monday and every Monday Cyberspace
Back by popular demand (maybe not so popular but
surely demanding…): The Eulenspiegel Not Til chat room
on AOL 10pm-Midnight. NOT a TES event but an unofficial
place online where many TES members and friends hang
out and talk. No set topic. It is a good place to ask
questions, debate the answers, ask and receive advice,
compare notes about the scene, gossip about last week,
plan the upcoming week, flirt a little, be serious and not
so serious. On AOL in the Town Square area of the
People Connection in a “member room” – not private:
aol://2719:61-2-Eulenspiegel not til. Add this location
to your Favorite Places Folder so that it’s easy to come
back.
Tuesday 7.1 NYC
TES Meeting: “DS without SM” with Master Stephen and
slave catherine. Is S&M a defining element of D/s
relationships? Do other forms of Dominance and
submission bring an equal degree of satisfaction? Are
these forms mutually exclusive? Sir Stephen and slave
catherine discuss the use of the Service Model in
structuring and maintaining their D/s Household. The
discussion will cover a range of topics including how this
structure evolved for Sir Stephen and slave catherine,
historical perspectives, creating the space for service,
identifying service needs and equipping the servant to
fulfill them, etc. 7:30pm at 75 Bleecker St, just east of
Broadway. $8 ($4 for members of TES and other
SM/leather orgs). Info: 212-388-7022 or www.tes.org
Wednesday 7.2 NYC
TES Singles Group presents “Tit Play” with Master Jim.

QUOTATION OF THE WEEK
“….. a man who made the Marquis de Sade look like

LEATHER PRIDE NIGHT
Leather Pride Night happened Saturday night in the
elegant Puck Building. Twelve diverse groups came
together to work and put this event on and it was
fabulous. Everyone was there! I worked with Andrew
to coordinate the volunteers. Over 150 people
volunteered along with 50 presenters and about 30
staff. It takes a lot of people to make this event h
appen and every one of them is important and
appreciated.
I bought $40 worth of raffles tickets from Puppy, who
wore a Mr S butt plug puppy tail which wagged every
time she moved. $10 is supposed to be crotch to floor.
Puppy somehow had me bosom to floor around the
ankles and back up again. I won three raffle prizes: a
couples membership to TES which I will give to Neptune,
a subscription to The Leather Journal which I will use to
renew my subscription and a Shotgun video. It just
proves that you have to be in it to win it.
I browsed the flea market and found Carol Queen’s
Exhibitionism For The Shy and a book from 1981,
“Fantoccini: A Little Book Of Memories” by Kirby
Congdon. Then I also grabbed a barefoot bondage
magazine from the 70’s. I presented that to Boymeat
who looked at it real quick and said, “Thanks, I can
jerk off to that.”
The auction seemed to go really fast this year and I
missed some items that were of interest to me. Other
items just went for too much money. I did manage to
snag a poster for Charles Gatewood’s Dances Sacred
and Profane with Fakir on it, a perfed leather hood by
Leather Creations, a pair of house seats for Thoroughly
Modern Millie and two hours of dungeon time at Arena.
So I really did score.
Numbers are still not finalized. I’ll report them when
they are.

NELS/b CONTEST
On Friday night, Neptune, Bridgett and I attended the
Northeast LeatherSir and boy contest at The Slide Bar
down on the Bowery. We had dinner first at one of my
favorite restaurants, Marion’s. Apparently, The Slide
and Marion’s are owned by the same person.
There was a nice turnout for a NYC contest and the
venue was the perfect size. There were not many
contestants. andy fischman of New York City was the
only boy contestant and he was judged on points with
a high enough score to be the winner. Two contestants
ran for the LeatherSir title: Bob Forbes of Syracuse and
Drew Kramer of Jersey City. Bob Forbes was the winner.
One thing that I thought was really cool is the
presentation of gift certificates from The Leather Man to
Coyote (NELS 2002) and Rob Hargrave (NELb 2002).
The previous producer (Davian) disappeared with the
prizes and the proceeds of the 2002 contest and gave
them no support. This was a nice consolation prize a
year later.

“FILTHY PAPARAZZO”
So this creep named Grant Stoddard, posing as a
novice, signs up for Leather Retreat and gets a ride to
camp with Boymeat. Boymeat, being the friendly and
generous guy, takes Grant under his wing and tells him
all sorts of stuff about himself and camp and introduces
Grant to his friends. Turns out Grant is an undercover
reporter for Nerve.com which is supposed to be a
sophisticated sex-positive website. Grant writes
clueless and judgmental “dispatches” betraying the
trust and friendliness that he received at camp. Frankly,
I find Grant to be whiney and pathetic. See the story at www.nerve.com/dispatches/stoddard/leathercamp/
There was a feedback section but it got taken down.
They say the story will be consolidated and a new
feedback section will be up on Friday. In the meantime,
if you wish to send feedback, send email
Michael Martin – Editor-in-chief at michael@nerve.com and
Grant Stoddard – Associate Editor at grant@nerve.com

GRANT STODDARD AT CAMP – THE UNTOLD STORY
By Kayla
So, our favorite BDSM “newbie”, Grant, left out some
interesting details from our scene on Thursday night,
so I thought I’d share them with you all, since he has
no problem sharing other people’s details.
After Amanda and I finished lightly flogging him and
running our nails over his body and just generally
groping him, he asked us if he could jerk off. We
untied his hands and obliged his request. While he
was jerking off, Amanda and I were making out with
each other and with him, one of us in front of him, the
other behind him. After about 10 minutes, Stacy came
into the scene and told him that he had to stop, he
was taking too long. The look of slight horror on his
face was priceless. It’s even better now that I know
it was all somewhat of an illusion. So, I held his arms
back while Stacy started topping Amanda a little bit.
Eventually, I let him go back to jerking off and after
about 10 more minutes, he finally came. Then, Stacy
and I took finger fulls of his own cum and fed it to him
as he eagerly swallowed it. Yum!
I also have first-hand knowledge that Grant actually
participated in the orgy in the group grope room. I
specifically remember having my hand on his dick once
again as he fondled and made out with others.
Thanks for the memories…
-“Sandra”
**** Thanks to Kayla for filling us in on the juicy
details. *****

EVENTS OF THE WEEK
Friday 6.20 NYC
LSM’s Next Meeting and Program. 8pm Business for
Members Only. 8:45-10pm Program: Shaving with
Naughty Nancy. Cut to the chase. Is there a docile,
well behaved bottom who needs a new “do”? Or is
there a resistant switch who needs to be put in a
bottom head space in order to play further? There’s
nothing like a very sharp edge securely placed on one’s
privates to stop breath and motion. Start stripping…all
the hair that guards one there. Straight edge shaving
can be fun (and creative) for the top and extremely
arousing for the bottom, or cunt, as the case may be.
Learn how to cut patterns into any body hair, or how
to shave it clean at a play party. A scene unto itself,
shaving is also a lovely lead into sex. A freshly shaved
hole, for example, is highly aroused. $8 ($5 for active
LSM members). Women only. At The Center, 208 W.
13th St. Interpreted into American Sign Language.
Wheelchair accessible. Info: www.lesbiansexmafia.org
Friday 6.20 NYC
DFS presents “Can’t Start a fire without a spark” with
BobH. For many, the two things that provoke the most
fear and allure are fire and electric play. This demo will
show how to combine both at the same time in a scene.
The feeling of your body submitting to the feel and
control of electricity. The prickly feelings that make your
muscles involuntarily react, combined with warm,
enveloping feel of the liquid tongue of fire is incredible.
7:45pm at Paddles, 250 W 26th St, between 7 & 8 Aves.
$8 ($4 for DSF & affiliate members). Info:
www.DomSubFriends.com
Saturday 6.21

drink ticket. Info: www.gmsma.org

Spiritual Union” with Goddess Shakti. What is the

created between the Top and Bottom that connects
them. 7P:30-10pm at Paddles, 250 W 26 St, between

surely demanding…): The Eulenspiegel Not Til chat
room on AOL 10pm-Midnight. NOT a TES event but an

Tuesday 6.24 NYC
TES Meeting: “”The Most Important Toy in Your Toy Bag
…Your Brain” with Bo (aka Master J. Floggers, paddles,
whips, clothes pins!!! All great fun, however if you
haven’t learned how to communicate with your partner,
get into their heads find out what they really want and
need, you are missing the best part of BDSM!
negotiation is a LOT more than finding someone’s limits.
It’s the beginning of a wonderful journey! 7:30pm at
75 Bleecker St, just east of Broadway. $8 ($4 for
members of TES and other SM/leather orgs). Info:
212-388-7022 or www.tes.org

Wednesday 6.25 NYC
GMSMA presents “Guy Stuff: Punch Me Harder .”
Everyone likes a nice ass spanking now and then. But
what about a punch in the face or to the gut? Is this
just raw aggression or is it playing with the sexual
tensions between men? Or maybe a longed-for rite of
passage? And what about those gay boys who wrestle
or box? How much is sport and how much erotic?
7:30pm at The Center, 208 W 13 St, between 7 &
Greenwich Aves. $7 ($5 for members of GMSMA).
