Master Chuck, Eastern Canada LeatherSIR 2011 and i cordially invite you to join me at the Black Eagle in Toronto for Cigar Night – Friday May 13th at 10pm for a chance to win:

  • A Travel Humidor + Cigars
  • Pipe + 6 Piece Starter Kit
  • Cigar Minder + Lighter + Lighter Fluid

Special thanks to Steve Thorson for taking the picture a few years ago as part of a class he was taking.  From what I was told, the women taking the course were quite intimidated by the pictures he took.

I’ve always enjoyed the look of cigars ever from the first time I set foot into the patio at The Toolbox.  An early fantasy a friend of mine had told me about was being tied down and having his nuts shaved by cigar which stuck with me for years.  Yum!    Combine with a gas mask and some tit torture and I’m putty.

I also like pipes – the rich smell of the tobacco always stuck with me from a young age when I was living in Newfoundland.  Friends of mine, most notably the first man to tie me up, “Goody”, smoked a pipe and I always thought it was a hot look, especially when it involved bondage.

When I was in the UK for the Great British Bear Bash, I had a chance to hook up with two Daddies who were very much into pipes and I was in pig boy heaven – being fed pipe smoke, smoking from the pipe, feeling the warmth of the pipe on my nuts – I’m hard thinking about it.  In many respects it felt like a masculine right of passage for me.

The BDSM world outside our major centers

Posted on by

Where some people in Toronto would say the drive to Etobicoke – the western most part of Toronto where I live, from downtown is to far to travel for some fun; people in Northern Ontario are willing to drive from Timmins to Sudbury (296km – 184mi, 3 – 4 hours) to get action.

People in Sudbury will drive to Toronto for an extended weekend to get some action.

You’ll find that the BDSM and Leather communities have to work together in order to make things happen.  You’re not going to find a solely gay Leather group in a place like Sudbury – it’s going to be more pansexual oriented with crossover between gay, lesbian, bi, trans and straight communities.

Gay Men's Sexual Health Summit 2010

I had the opportunity to discuss this within the context of sexual health information outreach to gay men in cities and towns outside of our major centers during the Gay Men’s Sexual Health Summit held in February 2010.

I was honoured to be part of a panel discussion called “Get Your Kink On: Best practices in BDSM Outreach” moderated by Duncan MacLachlan (ACT, MLT 1996), Nate Soloman (NOCK), Ishwar Persad (Center for Addiction and Mental Health), David Ivey (MLT 2010), Matthew Pavelich (MLT 2008) and Trevor Jacques (WholeSM Publishing).

That’s the way things are in the world outside our major centers such as Toronto, Ottawa, and Hamilton.  There just isn’t the critical mass to maintain separate communities.  People have to work together.

One of Master Chuck’s initiatives to drive community involvement and bridging in Northern Ontario is to setup a series of munches and munch & learns.

A munch is a place where kinky folk get together, eat, drink and chat.  A munch and learn is the same but with the added benefit of being able to learn via demo or full length discussion.  For many outside a major center, this is the first step into the kink and leather world.
View Larger MapIn the case of Northern Ontario, kinksters will drive from Sudbury to North Bay (129km – 80mi, 1.5 to 2 hours) or from Parry Sound (162km – 101mi, 2 hours) just to attend a munch.
On FetLife, Master Chuck has setup the following discussion groups (you’ll need an account on FetLife to participate):

If anyone wants to grab a ride with me to go to a munch in Sudbury or North Bay, let me know!  You’ll be surprised. The Inukshuk on the way up are quite something.

Both Master Chuck and i will be posting Sudbury and North Bay munch details on our respective blogs.

For the record, driving the 4.5 hours to see Master Chuck for the past 7 years (as of June 5) has all been worth it. No nose bleeds either!

Seven years of photographic history

Posted on by

Timmins, Ontario

I spent the past two hours looking through photos from the past 7 years of history with Master Chuck.  I was looking primarily for publicity shots that could be used for various events and organizations that want my time.

What I saw reminded me of a lot of fun I’ve had with Master Chuck and the various family members who have come and gone over that time period.  Times such as weekend family events up in Sudbury, Toronto Pride weekends, Rochester Rams and Spearhead Runs, Church St. Fetish Fair (now Toronto Leather Pride), Eastern Canada LeatherSIR/boy weekends, Mr. Leather Toronto Weekends, Leather Leadership Conference, NOCK and fun times we had in Master Chuck’s dungeon and the dungeon we had setup for two years when we lived outside Toronto for two years.

Slave labour exists!

Times change, people come and go, but there will always be those memories and they are fond.  Most of all, I’d say we’ve had a lot of good and hot times together and one on one within Master’s family:

  • Going to my first Rochester Rams Run, my first run ever.  The theme was Varsity Initiation, where I won “Pledge of the Run”.  In one case, we were directed to suck 10 cocks and get rated.  I was the last to start and the first to finish.
  • Spending a week going up to Moonbeam, Ontario (10 hours north of Toronto!).  Oh the predicament bondage I got into when got to Kirkland Lake. *GRIN*
  • Taking my former boys to various events.
  • Road trips with Dan.
  • The first and many times at the Ramada Inn on Jarvis, where it all started.  Hooded, bound and spanked.
  • The family coming together during TO Kink weekend.
  • The cop-themed weekend where we learned a number of different things from interrogations, how to use handcuffs properly and taking over Zig’s.
  • The NOCK (Northern Ontario Conference of Kink) where Master Chuck was the keynote speaker, Dan being my demo bottom, and putting together a brilliant DJ set.
  • The surprise of being pinned into Mama’s Family along with Master Chuck and Master Scott during MLT 2009.
  • Being whipped by Mistress Victoria at Folsom Fair North.
  • Co-topping and being tag teamed by Sir.  Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall, eh?
  • Celebrating the different coverings, collarings, recollarings and releases together, as a family.
  • Taking pics and videos while I’m on business trips for Sir’s pleasure.
  • The making and hanging of our sling that Sir helped us to build.  It’s HUGE and made of conveyor belt rubber.
  • Trips to Detroit, Washington, Halifax, Winnipeg, and Calgary.
  • The renovations at slave quarters.

I’m thankful for these experiences, for the man whose collar I wear as a symbol of my service to Him and fortunate for the many people who are my brothers in His family.

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity traveling to Detroit, MI twice for Michigan LeatherSIR/Leatherboy and LeatherUNITED; Erie, PA for Drenched Fur and April is not even over.

From April 21 through May 1st

  • I’ll be visiting Sudbury to spend some quality with Sir – it’s been too long since I’ve had a chance to go up to Sudbury and I’ve been fortunate that Sir has been able to take the time to come to Toronto over the past few months.
  • My first trip to Portland OR/Vancouver WA for work on April 24 through 28th.  I’m not sure how much time I’ll have to get out and about around Portland and Vancouver, but if anyone has any suggestions on where to go, I’m all ears.
  • Returning from Portland, I get to meet Sir in Toronto and head to Cleveland for my first trip to CLAW.  This is Sir’s second trip to CLAWand slave David will be joining us.  Anyone who attended CLAW last year will recognize slave David an impromptu fundraiser there.

boys iain (Eastern Canada Leatherboy 2011) and matt (North American Boot Black 2008 and former boy to Iain) at LeatherUNITED.

May will be a slower month.  I will probably be in Portland/Vancouver for a second trip, and there may be chances I’ll be doing a pitstop in San Francisco for a conference (to be determined).

I have two fundraisers coming up – more details to follow:

  • May 7th – Kink In The City: An Evening of Fetish Art Spontaneity at the Black Eagle co-hosted with Mr. Spearhead 2011 Dwayne Bryk for the Toronto People with AIDS Foundation. More details to come. *GRIN*
  • May 13th – (That’s a Friday!!) I’ll be doing my something for the Eastern Canada LeatherSIR/Leatherboy Travel Fund during Cigar Night.  Come on out for a few cigars or pipes on the Black Eagle patio.  More details to come…

Ms. Michigan Leather/Michigan LeatherSIR/Leatherboy/Community Bootblack – This weekend

Posted on by

International Leatherboy 2010 Ian (aka Ian V1.0 and The first cumming of Ian – Ian is also Eastern Canada Leatherboy 2010) and I (Iain V2.0 aka the second cumming of Iain) are taking a roadtrip together to a great weekend – Ms. Michigan Leather, Michigan LeatherSIR/Leastherboy and Michigan Community Bootblack.

Michigan has definitely played a part in my Leather upbringing.  Specifically my former boy, matt, who is also North American Bootblack 2008 (incidentally also the last NABB) is from the Detroit area and as a result my partner, Scott, and I spent a lot of time in the Detroit area.

Dan, aka the Twisted Teddybear, and I were also co-chars of the Leather Leadership Conference XIV Great Lakes/Ontario working very closely with a number of local Michigan Leather folks to build the first internationally hosted and run LLC.

I’m definitely looking forward to visiting Detroit this weekend!

 

Call for Participants: Fetish Fundraiser – The Black Eagle, Saturday, May 7, 2011, 11pm-1am

Posted on by

Dwayne and I are organizing a fetish fundraising event at The Black Eagle on Saturday, May 7. The premise of the evening is to convert “The Black Eagle” into an human art installation of ‘sex’ and ‘sensual’ and ‘fetish’ art….and since art can be created to inform, the more verbal intercourse the better! So, from 11pm-1am, we are seeking players, performists, artists, actors, exhibitionists, singers–anyone willing to randomly ‘exhibit’ a 5-10 minute scene anywhere in the Black Eagle, upstairs and/or downstairs!

The evening is about patrons experiencing a gallery of momentary, spontaneous, fetish and sexual/sensual art during the regular course of an evening at The Black Eagle. Create verbal intercourse in the moment with patrons–or laugher–or a pondering thought of sex!  Make the moment happen, then dissolve back into the environment. The more ‘art brut’ the better (but not necessary).

Imagine:

  1. People standing and sitting around the bar and suddenly two people entirely disrobe their clothing and simply continue their conversation with each other with attention to anyone else. What are other people thinking?
  2. A man sits quietly at the game machine, keeping to himself. Suddenly, he is taken capture by two men who bound and gag him down into the chair he sits, with face taped to game machine? What is this saying?
  3. Men are socializing as they always do at The Black Eagle. Suddenly, a flash acappella occurs–three men break out into the song “Like A Virgin”. Fantasy or reality?

So, what have you got to offer to give patrons a double-take in your spontaneous moment of sex and art?

We are making a request to the membership (and all of our affiliated families) to consider volunteering an “installation” to this charity. If you are interested in contributing a performance, please contact Dwayne by Saturday, March 12 (poster deadline) at (647) 347-5894 or by email (mrspearheadtoronto2011@rogers.com). Please indicate what you would like to do to perform at this human installation of sex and fetish (and if you’d like your picture on the poster). This is all about FUN, raising organization awareness and raising funds for a community charity.

Fundraising will happen in the form of 3-4 items being sold through raffle tickets.  A different item will be go up every 20-25 minutes. The charity-of-choice for the evening is Toronto People With AIDS Foundation.  (Event sponsors/prize donations thus far:  Nasty Pig, Steel Mill Media/BoundMuscle.com)

Thank you, Black Eagle, for giving us the palette. We’re asking our leather family and our communities-at-large to come out,  to do something notoriously amazing to raise your organization profile and, above all, to celebrate who we are and to give back to the people and to the community that continuously support us and our fundraising work.

If you have any questions, please contact us at <mrspearheadtoronto2011@rogers.com> or Eastern Canada Leatherboy Toronto 2011, boy iain at <eclb2011@leathersircanada.com>.

Welcome to The Black Eagle Art Gallery:  Sex-scapes Live! We look forward to hearing from you!
