Leave a Comment / BDSM, Fetish Friday / /

Leather’s journey in BDSM is a rich tapestry woven with threads of rebellion, identity, and raw sensuality. This story begins in the aftermath of World War II, when battle-hardened gay veterans sought a community that embraced their masculinity and sexuality without apology.

In these early days, leather was more than just a material; it was a symbol of strength, resilience, and defiance against a society that sought to marginalize queer individuals. The adoption of leather gear, from jackets to boots, became a visual code, signaling one’s membership in this underground community (Rubin, 1994).
