Dave - Technical Bootblack Judge

dave is a 53-year-old, single, cisgendered, gay male from North Carolina. dave has been active in the leather/kink/bdsm community since the Fall of 2001. dave started his leather journey, like most gay men, by walking into a gay leather bar, the Charlotte Eagle. Ironically, his first leather mentors were one of the bar’s bartenders and a very short heterosexual slave, known as slavette. slavette and her Master, Master Scott, took boy dave under their wing and introduced him into the leather lifestyle/kink/bdsm world by having him join them at leather conferences and private leather/bdsm events across the country. dave’s first leather conference was SELF, 2003. dave’s first bdsm play experiences were in play spaces occupied by heterosexual men and women; here, he learned about play that was not attached to sexual pleasure…. that came later when he began to venture into the gay-male leather world. his leather journey has been vast and colorful to say the least.
