Unsure who you are marching with this weekend? Join us, we are marching behind a rubber pride banner. Rubber, leather, pup and all fetish wear welcome.
We will then go for a meal at L'Osteria, straight from the march, have a social meal and avoid the initial queue into the downs

Most cities also have Munches which are socials for kinky people but you can't wear any kink gear and they are much more mixed (in gender and types of fetish)

South West Fetish @swfetish.bsky.social · Dec 1

For leather and kink community socials you have us in Bristol, Rubber men Cymru, and leathermen Cymru in Cardiff, I know Oxford also has a leather and fetish social but I don't know much about it.
There's also play events like fetclub in Bristol which have a nice social area.

If you are searching I would also recommend a website called Fetlife which has a lot of events posted on it and let's you filter by distance from a specific location.

South West Fetish @swfetish.bsky.social · Dec 1

Hi
We do an event every other month in Bristol which is a social, it's primarily leather/rubber men & pups but it is open to everyone. Our next event is 7pm, Saturday December 14th as Old Castle Green.
There are also a lot of other events in the area. Is there anything specific you are looking for?

Aim for an inverted triangle on your partner's back, shoulders and spine, as this is where there are most nerves
Avoid the neck to avoid doing any actual damage
It feels best where skin is thin
You should not break the skin
Impact should be 2/3 down the length of the flogger

South West Fetish @swfetish.bsky.social · Dec 1

We have 2 weeks til our next event so let's remember how our last one went. Here is one of our admins and a few of our members learning how to flog. I'll put the key points in a thread
Our event on the 14th is just a social. We hope to see you there.
