More on Folsom Street Fair & visit to SF
Huge Anti-War Protest happened yesterday. I didn't go, because I was meeting with a friend to join the San Francisco SOMA (South of Market) Gay 1970s tour with interpreters, which was great.
How fulsome. I learned about the Powerhouse, the Hamburger Mary's, and many other sex clubs and bathhouses that existed pre-AIDS.
Apparently, people were having anal sex on Ringold Street, and engaging in "golden shower" watersports in Dore Alley, at 2 am in the morning.
Today was the Folsom Street Fair, which you might have seen in a picture I took below, where people actually volunteered to lie stomach-down being spanked on a raised plank with a circle of gawking people watching. It was only for a few minutes, but enough to get the two cheeks pink.
We just walked around and saw many people, not only gay men, bears, leathers or S&M, but also some straight couples out for a good time. Maybe with all the fantasies straight people have about gay sex, seeing it in action makes them feel less homophobic because it's consensual, laughter-provoking, and in general not-so-bad in an intimidating sort of way.
I wasn't sure I wanted to go, but I'm glad I went today. It's really interesting to see all the men, old and young, enjoying the leather-fest, bears, and sadomasochism. First time for everything.
I do wish I had the chance to go to the "Dore Alley" where some slaves actually dress like a dog and behave like a dog. They even wear a tail that sticks up the butthole. This type of buttplug is designed to stay in the ass by having an elliptical shape, which after sticking it in, the sphincter muscle will keep it from getting out.
