They held the world's biggest celebration of leather, bondage and sexual fetish in San Francisco on Sunday, and due to the event's interactive nature, many people are now walking gingerly.
"Enough is enough," said Lowell Clark, pulling up his blue jeans after emerging from one of dozens of spanking booths at the 25th Folsom Street Fair.
Clark, a 30-year-old San Francisco waiter, conceded he was a novice at the booths, where men and women in search of stimulation were struck with whips, paddles or bare hands. Clark was last spanked at the age of 6 at the hands of his mother in Oklahoma. A stolen pack of chewing gum was involved.
"I still don't think I'll steal anything," Clark said. Still, he called the spanking a "stinging pleasure" that he would try "maybe once a year."
It was just another scene from the city's most unabashed bash - a public display of all things kinky that covered 13 blocks in the South of Market neighborhood and drew hundreds of thousands of people, many of them not wearing leather in key places.
There were naked people selling bondage gear and naked people seeking support for measures on the Nov. 4 ballot. There were naked people with cameras, taking pictures of other naked people.
One man wore only an 11-foot Burmese albino python, which curled around his waist. The arrangement seemed risky.
The fair is fun but also important, said Al Waddell, a 58-year-old entrepreneur from Oregon whose Paddle Daddy flogging implements were available in mahogany, hickory and walnut.

Maybe the “up your alley” affair grossed him out too much to attend this latest one????? I mean, how much can one person stomach?

I think I now understand why God had to destroy Sodom. The abomination!
Amen!
Please tell me there are no pics of fat, old, hippy geezers with no teeth!!!
Why is this allowed in public? Shouldn't this violate obscenity laws?
"The San Francisco Voice for Israel booth had just a few visitors, but the nearby Society of Janus Spanking Booth was packed. There, an announcer urged men to "drop trou" before leaning against a St. Andrew's Cross and submitting to punishment."
Filthy, disease ridden perverts! The entire fair ought to have gone the way of Sodom and Gomorah.

Owl_Eagle,
I couldn’t help but notice that the quote after your signature on this post mentions bigots, but then your message is bigoted. Do you really think that Folsom is representative of all gays?
Typical lib didn't have the guts to say it in public. So me, being the magnanimous Conservative that I am, I figured I'd help him out.
Arkie? You might feel more at home at 365gay.com. You might even have fortitude to post on the open board.

Zomblog has some good reporting on 30SEP08, about a racist rabblerousing group implicated in the current credit debacle.
Maybe that was more interesting to him than yet another trip to the Folsom Street Fag Orgy.
Thanks for the tip! I head back over to Zombie and check acorn.
