The complete roster of events and the judging panel for the contest weekend will be announced at later dates.

The Eastern Canada contest is open to leathermen and leatherboys from Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada.
LeatherSIR/Leatherboy are “players titles” titles representing the erotic and sexual side of gay leathermen. The primary goal of ECLSb is networking and outreach, to help educate the community about leathermen, our erotic expression, traditions and history, and, of course, BDSM and hot leather sex!

Next Stop: Mr. Leather Ottawa
Mister Leather Ottawa
Master Chuck and I will be attending Mr. Leather Ottawa this year! We hope you’ll consider attending my old stomping grounds and the first Leather event I ever attended, 14 years ago.
Rough House 2011/2012
Rough House is back!
Rough House is a fun, social dungeon-cum-house-party Sunday afternoon event for gay leathermen. The few leather dykes that show up at each event are also welcome and they enjoy themselves. But Rough House is decidedly targeted as space for gay leathermen and those that enjoy that environment. The atmosphere is friendly, laid back, frisky, sexy, and always social. Friends connect, and people new to the scene are exposed to the community, leather culture, leather sex and BDSM. Each Rough House events attracts a great mix of seasoned players and people brand new to the scene.

Interview with PositiveLite.com – Part Two
Here is part two of the interview from PositiveLite.com.
I was very candid in this second part of the interview where Bob and I talk a bit deeper about D/s, switching, play, risky sex, pig sex, risk mitigation, the ertocization of safer sex and things that are taboo that need to be talked about. I hope this opens discussions in a positive way about how we want to and do play.

Interview with PositiveLite.com – Part One + Video
In February 2010, I took part as a panelist in a seminar called, “Get Your Kink On: Best Practices in BDSM Outreach” at the Gay Mens Sexual Health Summit. I am particularly proud of my involvement in this seminar and with the other panelists as we got people – counsellors with ASOs, nurses with public health departments, and others thinking about how to reach kinky people.
The feedback was amazing. Where the attendees were used to hearing very clinical terms, research and numbers; we, the panelists, were very frank, upfront and honest. We’re not afraid to use colloquial terms because that’s how we interact in our day-to-day lives as gay men and Leathermen. We talk about fucking, we talk about rimming, etc… We don’t use intercourse and analingus – oh so clinicial! LOL!
At the time, I was interviewed by Bob Leahy. I love reading his Green Acres blog at PositiveLite.com and I think it’s great that both Bob and the PositiveLite team are looking to bring humour to an otherwise downer topic. Check out their vision statement:
Most HIV-related websites dedicated to the needs of those who are HIV-positive tend to be serious – and frankly a bit of a downer – as we read about health issues, treatment problems, stigma, legal issues, etc., and little else For the publisher (Brian Finch) and founder, however, a sense of humour is what has got him through the last 23 years of living with HIV. There is no need for debate about the role of humour and its relationship to positive health outcomes There needs to be something different out there that celebrates having fun. PositiveLite.com is a Canadian-driven website for both those of us who are HIV-positive and our friends and supporters, irrespective of sexual orientation, gender or nationality. We tackle important issues while maintaining a “lifestyles magazine” format.And that is something I am happy to support.
Bob approached me recently, following up on the interview after he reconnected with me on Twitter. He wanted to write something on Leather, and was fascinated with the panel discussion a year and a half ago. He also took a bunch of pictures of Sir and me during this year’s Pride parade.
I spoke candidly about Leather, my experiences, coming out twice, how I got started, Master Chuck’s family, what Leather is to me, being Eastern Canada Leatherboy, my philosophy on Leather, title holding and sexuality; about creating balance, play, and safety in play, the eroticization of safer sex, pig sex, and talking about so-called taboo topics that I think we need to be open and honest about, messaging when it comes to spreading the safer sex word, risk mitigation and creating empowerment. We really covered a lot!
Here is part one of the interview from PositiveLite.com.

Crude Weekend – Sept 9 – 11, 2011 – Reserve your spot today!
Over the years, I had been asked to get involved with setting up a mens Leather weekend at The Point Tent & Trailer Resort. It was something the general manager, a friend of mine, had talked about in passing a few times but we never really made it happen – until now.
The Point has been host to various pansexual BDSM events over the years. Why not a weekend for men?
The goal for Crude Weekend is really to have a fun play weekend. It’s about Leather and BDSM fun and play, outside. It’s mean to be… crude. Somewhere between what you would find at a run like Spearhead or the Rochester Rams, and Tease.
Make reservations today for your site at get-tothepoint.com.

My hope, and I realize that sometimes these events need to grow slowly, I am hoping 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.
