Rough House BDSM dungeon parties returns September 23, 2012 TORONTO

Posted on August 26, 2012 by Master Chuck
Six parties planned between September & March

(Toronto) — Organizers of Rough House, the popular gay men’s BDSM dungeon party held in Toronto, today announced event dates for the 2012-2013 season, which will run September through March.

All Rough House events are held on a Sunday afternoon, from 1pm to 5pm. Admission is $10. Rough House will take place: September 23, October 14, November 18, January 27, February 24 and March 31. (March 31 will be the first Rough House event held as part of the Eastern Canada LeatherSIR/Leatherboy contest weekend.)

Rough House is well established at Goodhandy’s (2nd floor, 120 Richmond St, Toronto; Richmond & Church), where the event has been held since 2009. As of September 1, Goodhandy’s will be changing its name to Club 120 and the bar will undergo some programming changes, however that will not affect holding Rough House at the venue.

Who is Rough House for? Rough House is not a pansexual event, neither by design nor goals. Rough House was created as a BDSM space for gay leather men to foster play, sexual networking and education. Leather dykes show up at each event and are always welcome — but Rough House is decidedly targeted as BDSM space for gay leathermen and other leatherfolk that enjoy a male-focused environment. For more information, consult the About Us section at www.RoughHouse.ca.

What happens at Rough House varies event to event, depending on attendees. Play often includes pumping, saline, watersports, bondage, flogging/single-tail, CBT, percussion play, electro and fisting, and public play. Check out photo galleries on the Rough House website to see examples of the play. A more detailed description of demos and invited special guests for each event is published on the website closer to the event date.

With help from a dedicated roster of volunteers that make the event possible, Rough House is produced by Brandon Matheson and Dan Falkenham.

Tease 2012 BDSM Camping Convention July 12-16 Moved to Near London, Ontario, Canada

Posted on July 7, 2012 by Master Chuck

This year at there will be 5 of our Leather family members at TEASE to help with the workshop schedule. As a group we will be presenting 7 of the 17 workshops happening at the event.

As hinted to in his interview in “The Dark Side” Podcast, Master Scott and his alpha-slave pup kalen will be presenting puppy play.

DanM (Twisted Teddy bear) will be doing a workshop on cock sucking. An awesome opportunity to pick up some cock sucking skills and techniques.  If he needs a demo top I’m Game !!

Leather Son Chris will be presenting for the first time on the topic of Cigar Service and Cigar Play. A form of play that is being seen less and less in the Pan-Kink community due to the strict smoking laws, and party rules that do not allow “play” out side the venue in the smoking area.

I will be repeating  the very popular “Risk Management is Not Only for the Workplace workshop” , as well as workshops on “Long Distance Relationships”, “Long Term BDSM relationships” making them work and “Exit Plan” AKA retirement planning for Doms workshop geared towards the reality of becoming an aging Dom/sub and how that affects your kink.

That’s just what’s happening there from the members of my family. There are many other great workshops, demo’s, and play to be had. The workshop schedule can be found here You  can also register for the event on the main site.

If you’re a reader of this blog and you will be attending Tease 2012 please track me down some time during the weekend and say hi.

Pantheon of Leather XXII UPDATE Thank you all

Posted on July 2, 2012 by Master Chuck

Last May I did a post re the nominations for the Pantheon of Leather XXII

For the past two weeks I have been waking up and reading my morning email only to find more and more people informing me of their nominations. What occurs to me every time I read such an email is how fortunate I am to be surrounded, acquainted, influenced and informed by some of the “Kare bares” (intentionally miss spelled to avoid children finding this blog) of our Leather/Kink.

During one of the Leather Leadership Conferences I attended there was a key-note speech by Godess Lakshmi unfortunately I can only paraphrase her. “”Untill you have swept up the cigaret butts, dealt with  filthy overflowing washrooms, been the target of criticism by those who will not lend and hand and even worse those who do, stayed up all night with someone in need, don’t call yourself a Master, Sir or Leader.”””

The nominees in all categories that I know have been all that, and much much more. They have earned their nominations through hard work, sweat and tears, all while serving their communities, their clubs, their Doms, their subs and many others not yet in the community.

All the nominees also have one other characteristic, bravery. In order to have done what they have some have had to come out to their families friends and employers. For some risking their lively hood. Yet they still rose to the challenge despite the risks to themselves to serve us all.

I want to thank you all for the work you have done.

Before I list the nominees I do want to point out one in particular nomination which is my boy Iain’s. I can still remember his first time I met him, a bit shy and like a boy in a candy store, since then he has grown into the well-respected and multi award-winning  Leatherman that he is today. Boy you have done me, yourself and our family proud.

Many many years ago.. I was Ramed

Click on poster for details

When I was first discovering leather I was at the TOOL BOX in Toronto for a weekend of play and I saw a poster for a Rochester Rams Run Western Leather II, Despite a upside down horse shoe, my partner Rocco and I signed up.

That weekend was a transformative weekend, as I learned I had a many talents as a top, a few as a bottom. That weekend started with opening ceremonies with both the Canadian and American anthems sung, all while being sign language interpreted for the deaf. Then the presentation of Club colours as we did not have any I  just wore my LYNX T-shirt,while in my brown leathers. To say the least the Rams made us feel very welcome in the leather community and we never looked back.

Unfortunately due to finances being the way they are I will not be able to attend the RAMS run this year, but I hope you will consider going if you’re not planning on attending the SLAGMen’s Week long/Weekend Leather Denim Run here in Northern Ontario the week before.
