In the 15 years I’ve been out as a gay man, I have spent a lot of time in bath houses – from Montreal, to Houston, to Auckland, to Luton. I try to do my best to support baths as I consider them a bit of a dying breed, especially here in Toronto where we’ve lost three in the past seven years. (Although one was re-purposed as a swingers club – a score for sex-positive spaces in this city.)

I have spent a lot of time at the remaining bath houses in Toronto – one is where I go for an evening Bear romp, another where I go to chill out, and the other two are where I go for pig sex, depending on my mood and the type of guys I’m looking for.

There is a trend I have noticed about the baths in Toronto that I do find concerning. I am noticing, for the first time in this city, bareback porn playing in two out of four bath houses – three out of five if we were to include one that closed down in the past year – and this surprises me. In one case, there was also a fisting video where the guys were not using any protection as well. This sets off my inner sex-and-BDSM-educator alarm bells.

When talking to people about this, the reactions range from, “wow, that’s not good” to “baths need to make a buck somehow” to “I can’t believe people don’t know how to look after themselves.”

Personally, I believe that bathhouses need to be a partner with the local public health authority and AIDS Service Organizations to help promote healthier choices and well being, and I believe only porn using condoms should be played in bath houses. I acknowledge that the ASOs have regular meetings with the baths here in Toronto to raise these concerns.

Let’s address some of the remarks .

When you’re first coming out, young or old, the first sexual images you see tend to leave a lasting impression. As time goes on, those images start to normalize and they begin to be incorporated into sexual practices and experiences. As an ex of mine said at one time when I was coming out, many people first coming out look to porn as ‘education’, if you will – which, to me, means at-risk men are impressionable when they are first exploring sexuality. In short, it’s the start of eroticisation of those images and the incorporation of that imagery into their own practices.

It may surprise you but some guys actually don’t know better when it comes to safer sex practices. I have played with some older men in bath houses that didn’t know that Vaseline causes latex to deteriorate quickly, and hence leads to condom breakage. You cannot assume that because HIV has been around for 30 years that guys know better.

In outreach, it is hugely tough trying to communicate to the MSM (men who have sex with men) community that does not necessarily identify as gay, nor out, nor listening for those safer sex messages because they don’t think it applies to them due to being in denial about their sexuality. In many cases, men who are coming out – young and older – are nervous and even sometimes too scared to take in the messaging that is out there. You cannot assume that every man identifies as gay in a bath house and that they have the capacity to take in the messaging some of us picked up in our youth or early adulthood.

Looking closer at the MSM community, if you are used to fucking without condoms with your wife, some guys are not necessarily going to think twice about getting fucked or fucking without a condom when with a man. Even with gay youth, the messaging can be completely missed, hence the risk of thinking that they do not need to use condoms. Ultimately, if you don’t have the education, how can you choose what is acceptable risk? Even those who do actively choose riskier sexual activities would agree that one should be educated and come to their own conclusion about what is acceptable risk for them.

As for increasing revenue, I agree, bath houses need to make their buck and I am all in support of sex-positive spaces. I am not so sure bareback porn is the way to go about increasing revenue. When I am choosing a bath house, I am not picking the place with the best porn, I am looking at what I want to get out of my time there – sex or relaxation. But hey, different strokes for different blokes in my books. In which case, I do ask who wants to sit around watching porn and jacking off, when you could be having sex with a hot guy, or multiple hot guys in an afternoon?

In Toronto, in 2009, 69% of reported cases of seroconversion were in gay men. Toronto was ahead of the game in the 80s, by not shutting down their bath houses, but turning them into places where outreach could be done to educate our brothers about making better choices. This statistic proves we still have a long way to go, and our bath houses need to be that partner in safer sex education. I am very concerned that at-risk men will watch these videos and normalize it into their own behaviours.

As a follow up to the article, Bob Leahy pointed people to the an article entitled “Viewing Pornography Depicting Unprotected Anal Intercourse: Are There Implications for HIV Prevention Among Men Who Have Sex with Men?”.  It’s a good read.

Guest contributor boy iain was the subject of two PositiveLite interviews with Bob Leahy about the world of leather, here and here. Those interviews have also appeared on www.hivster.com

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Posted on by

Around the time I did the interview with PositiveLite, I was asked if I would be willing to write Op-Ed pieces. I said I would give it a try.

The result is the article I wrote about Bareback porn being played in our bathhouses in Toronto – a relative new trend I have noticed – and my passion for helping my fellow men remain STI-free while having good piggish sex lives.

Much thanks to Bob and Brian at PositiveLite and Master Chuck.

I’ll be re-posting the article here in a few months.

Crude Weekend + Catching Up

Posted on by

slave Scott, Sir Alan, Pup Nitro, boy iain

I’ve not had a chance to write much in my blog recently taking some much needed downtime for myself after ILSb, as well traveling for work to Bend OR, Portland OR and Atlanta GA.  The highlight of the trip to Atlanta was a chance to see Sir Alan (International LeatherSIR 2011), Pup Nitro (International Leatherboy 2011) and slave Scott (International Leather Handler 2011 – yes the men behind the International Titleholders should have their own title!).

Now on to Crude.

Master Chuck has a great blog entry on Crude with more pictures on His site.

The Golden Retrievers - Bear and Stomper

Crude is an event I hosted September 9th through 11th in co-operation with The Point Tent & Trailer Resort.  This is something the General Manager, Mike, and I had talked about for years.  And particularly appropriate as one of the late owners of the park was not only one of my former Mr. Bear Toronto Titleholders when I was involved in the Great Canadian Bearhunt, but Phil was also the first Bear I had met at The Toolbox and the first man I had ever met who was into rubber.  Hence my association and interest in being a gummi-bear.

I digress – the weekend was nothing short of amazing.

The weekend started Friday with a short opening ceremonies announcing the weekend as having started and a Bingo night in the rain.  As all of us had arrived later at the park than anticipated, we then put our tents up in the dark and rain.  After we hung out at the rec hall with local micro brew beer on pour courtesy of The Point, and some hot men.

Saturday started with our demos

  • Master Aaron from Maryland presented on fisting using Master Scott’s boy craig.  Master Aaron has been fisting ever since he came out and has the perfect sized hands for anyone interested in fisting for the first time.  His touch is also quite gentle which helps anyone hesitant to open up quickly.  When I first met Him 8 years ago, I challenged Master Aaron to make me cum without touching myself.  Unfortunately that didn’t happen, but He did play with my as for a good two hours.  So from experience, Master Aaron comes highly recommended.
  • Master R from Toronto added His flavour to the weekend by presenting outdoor bondage and play, as well as demonstrating the use of a zipper (several clothes pegs added to string).  Congratulations to boy aaron on his first weekend of service and for being Master R’s demo bottom.  Master R also did a flogging demo at the Slick Dance Party Saturday night.  Much thanks to Master R for participating.  Also, Master R makes some amazing play equipment.  For us big boys who can get rambunctious, Master R makes heavy, sturdy pieces.

  • Pegged and waxed.

    Master Chuck demonstrated to us the outdoor and brown-leather version of pegging.  Not to be confused with using a strap on, Master Chuck tied slave Eric down to the ground using pegs including tying up slave Eric’s nuts and proceeded to do a wax play and piss scene inviting the crowd to participate.

At each of the demos we had between twenty and thirty men!  This completely blew me away as I was figuring we would have between five to ten men watching.  So much thanks to everyone who did come out and participated.

The new fangled way to read a book at camp

The weekend had lots of time for relaxation too – spending time in the pool, reading, chilling and play – whatever you wanted to.

The Mexican Fiesta Party + Potluck held in honour of the original founders of The Point brought everyone in the park together for dinner.  A fitting end to the afternoon and much thanks to the organizers!

The evening came to a close with the Slick Dance Party in the Rec Hall and Master R’s flogging demo – among the screams of Master Scott’s boy nico going though his first piercing scene.  *GRIN*

Master Scott with boys craig, nico, slave kalen and boy iain

On a family note, congratulations to Master Scott on the collaring of his newest boy, boy nico – collared the Saturday afternoon of Crude.

Sunday came all too soon with a lovely breakfast spread put out by a number of the seasonals and the closing ceremonies.  In true run fashion we had certificates for the following:

  • Distance – For going that extra mile to be with us – Master Aaron (although it turns out someone showed up Sunday from Puerto Villarta)
  • Crude Pig – In recognition fo your piggish behaviour – boy nico
  • Helping Hands – You did more than fisting to help!! – boy kyle
  • Run Virgin – For allowing us to bust your cherry in the most crude way – boy aaron
  • Cool Whip – Your dollop of participation made our weekend… tasty…
    • Master Aaron + boy craig – Demo
    • Master R + boy aaron – Demo
    • Master Chuck + slave Eric – Demo
    • Sir Marc (Eastern Canada LeatherSIR 2010) and Master Noel – For help prior to the weekend
    • Mike Noel – The Point
    • Colin Mears – The Point
    • The hosts of the Mexican Fiesta Party
    • The hosts of the Sunday Breakfast
    • The Point Tent and Trailer Resort
    • Madame Heather – For loaning a number of supplies

My hope is that this could become an annual weekend that could be linked in with Eastern Canada LeatherSIR/Leatherboy and specifically hosted and co-arranged by whoever the Eastern Canada Leatherboy is for a particular year.  I know this event will happen again next year.

Again much thanks to Colin, Mike and everyone who made this weekend a success!  If you would like to participate, please let me know.

As Master Chuck about His pig

Canadian boys Love the Fleshjack and Edging too!

Posted on by

Several months ago I was asked by WildCuddler to write a review of the two Fleshjacks I ordered back in April.  Three months later, I’m finally posting this to my own blog.

I love sex and courtesy of Sir’s training and the influence of a number of friends who are into edging, a Fleshjack is a natural to add to any sex toy chest.  I am all about sexual stimulation, edging and blowing my load.  The thought of being tied up and edged with a Fleshjack and being told to hold off from shooting totally turns my crank!

I decided to purchase two Jacks in April when Fleshjack was offering the buy one Jack and get an Endurance Jackfree and also on recommendation.  Within three days, the jacks had shipped and arrived at my door in Canada.  Amazing for cross-border shopping, all for about the same price as shopping for one Fleshjack at your local porn shop.

I couldn’t wait unpack the jacks and get it on my cock.  You don’t want to  forget to take out the plastic tube from your jack when it first arrives – you might hurt your member.  I started with the Endurance jack.  Being uncut and having a very sensitive head, I was a bit nervous about how it would feel but after lubing up the hole, the inside of the Endurance Jack, and my cock, it was a fucking amazing ride.  I could hold off, get harder, jack and edge and repeat until I blew a huge load deep into the Fleshjack.  Be sure to use water-based lubes as others could deteriorate your toy.

Remember, if you’re going to blow your load in the jack, it becomes a one person toy.  Alternatively, you can use condoms but the Fleshjack Care and Usage Guide does specifically say the Fleshjack is designed to be a single person use only toy.

The Endurance Jack has “Stamina masturbation sleeve” is tight, so you feel it on your shaft, and features large bumps to stimulate your head and shaft.  If you can learn to hold off blowing your load, then imagine how it’ll feel when you hold off cuming while fucking or jacking off.

The Fleshjack Ice further enhances your experience by having different sensations for different kinds of stimulation, whether it’s for your head or shaft.  You get the added visual stimulation with the Fleshjack Ice being clear, so you can see your cock get harder, pulse and shoot a load deep for you to see.  Fucking hot!

Between both the sensations are very different – and if you’re into wanting different sensations and experiences, then both the Endurance and Ice Jacks are great examples of the wide range of sensations you can get from Fleshjack.

To keep mine clean, I follow the instructions as provided by Fleshjack – Run warm water through the sleeve and for a deep clean, you can use isopropyl alcohol.  I have also turned mine inside out just to make sure it is clean.  After that, towel dry or air dry and you’re done.  You don’t want to use detergents or soaps as it will deteriorate the surface.

My only criticism of the product is needing to clean and maintain, but hey, a good jack off session that’s long and messy always involves a good clean up.

If you’re into edging from either side, definitely add a Fleshjack to your toy chest.
