Sure, the world of leather and fetishism is all about free sexual expression, kink has no confines, it's about getting your freak on and whatever the fuck turns you on. At events like Folsom Fair, the shock factor is the rule, and it is an open and welcoming space for all to come PUT INTO PRACTICE fantasy and fun in a very LIVE and in your face setting.
The Black and Blue festival is a total celebration of that as well. Although everyone else is also donning the same attire as you are, these events are events where people come to be SEEN by other gay men, photographs are to be taken, and really, REALLY ... very little is left to the imagination when it comes to what's worn. Can we really say we are not conscious at all of how we look?
Nudism is nudism, it is that, let it all hang out. But the concept of leather is that you have certain INTENTIONAL pieces, straps, chains, buckles that OUTLINE the contours of our body, various pieces of leather fabric that play hide and seek with our body parts.
One size DOES NOT fit all.

And sometimes something has to be said to what you are comfortable personally putting out their, your freaky deaky meter, and how daring you are.
So ... this is really a matter of personal decision one must make as to the amount of risk it takes to explore your wild side. Every gay men who puts on leather has his own personal, PERSONAL relationship with the particular piece of leather he wears ... leather evokes certain feelings, and it changes depending on the type of leather gear worn.
Me, I am intrigued by leather. But there is a limit. ABOVE ALL, I have to actually LOOK GOOD in the leather.
