Are You Ready for IML?

Well another year has passed. It seems like I just wrote about this topic, yet here we are coming up on another International Mr. Leather (IML) Weekend! After all this time, who would have guessed that I would still be writing a fetish column? I certainly wouldn’t!

For those of you not familiar, IML (imrl.com) is one of the largest gatherings of Leatherfolk, Kinksters and Gear Fetishists in the world. It’s always held Memorial Day Weekend (May 27-30 this year) in Chicago. Our city will be represented in this year’s competition by Drew Kramer, who won the Mr. Palm Springs Leather 2011 title during November’s Leather Pride (desertleatherpride.com). Good luck Drew, and have fun!

It seems like every year there is always some sort of political uproar or controversy surrounding the contest (and last year was no exception!), but I choose not to get swept up in such things. The reality is that everyone who competes is already a winner and when you’re trying to select one representative from such a talented, dedicated and sexy group of entrants someone is always bound to be disappointed with the result.

The real reason I attend IML is for the brotherhood and friendships, amazing vendor market, no-attitude dance parties and the incredible feeling that comes from having thousands of men just like you gathered together to celebrate their sexual freedom – all while decked out in their coolest gear.

I can’t imagine staying anywhere but the host hotel, which this year is none other than the world-famous Hyatt Regency Chicago (bit.ly/jRJA0B). The hotel environment is always electric and fueled with testosterone. The lobby itself is a sight to behold as it begins to fill on Thursday and remains packed all weekend with the hottest Leathermen on the planet!

Any time you travel to a major leather event, it’s worth prepping ahead of time to insure that you both look your best and have the most fun. Here’s how I get ready for IML, along with some of my favorite things to do at the event.

Neoprene Holster Harnesses Featured on American Idol!

Last night all of J Lo's backup dancers geared up in our Neoprene Holster Harnesses during her Pitbull On The Floor debut live performance on American Idol! See closeup pics and get yours here!

Oxballs Powerball and Splitsling

Our buddy Ox has done it again! Now there are two more cock and ball toys in the Oxballs ultra-FLEX TPR arsenal!

If you like jelly cockrings, then you’ll love the new Powerball ring. You can stretch it to gigantic sizes and it won’t break, plus the three anti-slip balls at the bottom are engineered specially to make it stay put. Finally a jelly ring which doesn’t slide up your balls and lose effectiveness! Available in all eight colors shown.

The Splitsling is another variation on the world-famous Cocksling, this time with an added ball splitter (very much like the Oxballs Splitz). If you always wished your Cocksling had some added ball support and enhancement, then this is the perfect accessory for you! Available in Black, Clear, Red, Blue and Yellow.

At the moment these toys are a Gear exclusive and only available online (click the links above for more pix and to order), but we’ll also have them in the store later in the week. And don’t forget, because of our special relationship with Ox, our web shop always has every new toy the minute it is released, plus it’s just about the only place there is that carries the entire Oxballs line. Shop us first for all of your favorite butt and cock and ball toys! 

Oxballs Nuttsling

Oxballs introduces a new version of the most popular cock and ball wear of the year! The Nuttsling is a Cocksling, but with a longer ball stretcher that has a hidden ring halfway up the inside to keep your nads from slipping backwards. We love it for the extra tug it provides, plus it's extra fun for fucking because of the way it makes your balls slap against your pig's ass!

Nuttlsings are made of the same incredibly stretchy TPR as the Cocksling and are available both online and in the store in Black, Clear, Red, Orange and Zinc. For more pics and online ordering, click here.

Oxballs Dick Plugs

“So daaaamn!!! The Oxballs Dick Plug is my new favorite toy thanks to you!! It's insane how good and crazy it feels. The first time I did it I wouldn't stop oozing precum, even long after! Hot!!!!”

Take it from our customers, Oxballs Dick Plugs are a ton of fun to play with. They’re shorter than traditional sounds which makes them great for beginners who want to try pisshole play or expansion. The sensation is like jacking your dick from the inside!

The silicone ones are soft enough to mold to the shape of your piss-tube, but are firm enough to slide inside or even fuck your pisshole like a dick-dildo. They’ll even flex while you stoke! The metal ones are made from mirror polished aircraft aluminum and can be electrified for an incredible sensation!

The pictures here are just a sample of the colors, sizes and shapes we have available. They’re available both in the Palm Springs store and online.

Web Sale Extended: Neoprene Open Crotch Singlets

Everybody's favorite Neoprene Open-Crotch Singlet is now only $79 ($20 off!). Get yours with Black, Blue, Red or Yellow piping. Plus when you order $100 or more, get domestic US Shipping! We've got other great web specials too! Check 'em out here.

Available in Gray and Army Olive.

The coordinating Shutdown Jerseys and Shorts (in Black and Columbia Blue) are amazing tanks and trunks with super-flattering fits and hot, butch screen print and embroidered details.

Let's Talk About Sex

So you’ve met a hot, kinky guy and think that you’d like to play with him. How do you know for certain that he’s right for you and that you’re likely to have a good time together? You negotiate.

Negotiating a scene involves being able to have a frank discussion about your likes, dislikes, limits and safe words. It’s both an art and a skill, but it’s a talent that can be developed with practice. It’s also fun!

Some people find it difficult to talk about sex or what they enjoy sexually. Sometimes this is because of societal pressure to hide our sexuality or be ashamed of our desires. More often than not, though, it’s because someone doesn’t actually know what they like, or if they do, they don’t have the skills to express it.

Fantastic New Consignments

A large estate and a shuttered business have just chosen to consign their merchandise at the store, packing our Vintage Gear department with a ton of amazing new pieces!

They include the deluxe Mr. S puppy cage shown above; a stunning collection of no-longer-attainable, hand-crafted floggers by the renowned Janette Heartwood; heavy-gauge, premium-quality latex clothing from famous makers worldwide; lifelike puppy hoods from RubberDawg; a unique leather and denim straightjacket; and beautiful leather clothing, accessories, hoods and toys from well-known manufacturers too numerous to mention!

Many of these items are rare pieces that are no longer manufactured and difficult to find. Don't miss this chance to own something truly special! Stop in today for the best selection.
