Leather Service (original) (raw)
Hello Everyone, I am Happily married to a trans woman. Been in the scene for maybe 6 or 7 years. I am more of a service submissive and haven't quit figured out exactly what that means but in the past few years when I serve it makes me feel damn good when I see others with a smile on their face. I also consider myself a service top only in particular play styles. I do not consider myself a switch. It is not a power exchange role just a top/bottom role. When it comes right down to it I refer myself as a submissive with a service desire.
SO….YOU'VE BEEN THINKING TO YOURSELF…."I would really love to spend a weekend that
was totally devoted to my choice of lifestyle. A weekend devoted to all I hold sacred. A
weekend that would refresh my spirit and provide opportunities for personal growth and
making new friends."
GOOD NEWS!! THAT OPPORTUNITY IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER AND IF YOU HURRY,
YOU CAN BE PART OF BOYS TRAINING CAMP 7 BEING HELD IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA, MAY
18-20, 2007.
BOYS TRAINING CAMP IS A WEEKEND FULL OF LEARNING, NEW EXPERIENCES,
REINFORCEMENT OF DYNAMICS AND NEW FRIENDS. ANYONE OF SUBMISSIVE HEART IS

EXPERIENCE LEVEL. THAT MEANS BOYS, BOIS, GIRLS, SLAVES, PUPPIES, ETC …..ARE ALL

Service Weekend
May 4-6, 2007
San Francisco
'Leather Traditions' is proud to announce Service Weekend, an exciting weekend for boys, girls, slaves and submissives of all genders. Workshops, discussions and forums will explore the concepts and traditions of service in the context of a leather/BDSM dynamic.
The weekend will be held in an historic Victorian residence with workshops led by experienced community leaders, both Dominants and submissives. Topics include: ritual and protocol, finding someone to serve, pride in service, fantasy vs. reality, balancing service with personal responsibilities and much more.
Our keynote speaker and one of the presenters for this special weekend is the esteemed author and leather community elder Vi Johnson, author of "To Love, To Obey, To Serve."
In order to maintain the intimacy and character of the weekend, attendance will be limited to 25 attendees. Applications are currently being accepted!

Call For Submissions:
BIG & little: An Anthology of Age Play Dynamics
Edited by Sassafras Lowrey *
Publisher: Nazca Plains Corporation
Deadline: May 1, 2007
Payment: One Contributor Copy
Age play and those who participate in these dynamics have remained shrouded in misunderstanding despite the exponential growth of the larger leather community. “BIG & little: An Anthology of Age Play Dynamics” will begin to fill the gap in information by being the first non-fiction book to address the complexities and diversity of our community. “BIG & little” will foster dialogue within the growing age play community and provides an opportunity for “little ones” (boys, girls, princesses, etc.) as well as “big ones” (daddies, mommies, uncles, etc.) to talk about this very important and empowering aspect of their lives. It will also serve as an introduction for those unfamiliar with age play dynamics.
All those with age play experience are invited to contribute. Dynamics beyond the Daddy/boy, Mommy/girl norms (such as big sister/little sister, scoutmaster/scout) are particularly encouraged to participate. The anthology will encompass a range of perspectives, varying from individuals living in full-time dynamics to those who engage in occasional age play scenes. “BIG & little” will represent the diverse voices of age play community members across lines of race, class, gender, sexuality, geographic region and biological age.
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
Exploring the cultural misunderstanding as to what age play is (or ISN’T)
Letters to Daddy
Bedtime stories for little girls
Ruminations on the perfect Mommy
Personal accounts of the healing power of age play
Submissions should be between 1,500 and 2,500 words in length and previously unpublished. Submit your piece via e-mail in .doc format to BIGandlittle_anthology@yahoo.com. Multiple submissions per contributor are welcome. Please include a short biography and contact information with your submission. Submissions must be received no later than May 1, 2007; contributors are encouraged to submit early. All pieces published become the sole property of the publisher. Contributors whose work appears in the anthology will receive one free copy of the book.
• Sassafras Lowrey is a writer and artist who contributes regularly to regional and international queer and leather publications. Sassafras has been active in the leather community for several years as a high femme little boy living in a 24/7 Daddy/boy dynamic.
