Gay Fetish on the Net: Awards

Gay guys in sneakers, sox, lycra, rubber

SneakerSox is a multilingual site of a French guy into sneakers and sox. This palatable site has slightly unusual navigation. Main subject is chosen from the menu in the upper site but then a page can be chosen from the list in the lower right corner. On each page there is a number of thumbnails, clicking them opens a new window with a gallery with another small pictures. Click these pictures to see them fullsize.

The site menu has 5 items. First two of them tell you (or rather show you) the site owner and his interests. These are centered around sox and sneakers and various uniforms.

The third section allows you to buy or exchange used footwear. Anything goes, and used shoes and trainers are most valueable here.  Currently there are 28 offers.

The next section is the biggest one and contain visitors’ pictures. It is subdivided into 4 galleries: Sneaker/Sox, Lycra, Rubber and Miscelanueos pics. Each gallery in its turn has several pages, don’t forget about that. Most of pictures are quite innocent and just bring you next-door-type men wearing some sort of gear. Some of these guys are really hotties, others are just ordinary men you can see on streets. If you like someone you can leave him a personal message (although I’m not sure that all of them read their messages). Some more hot stuff is in Misc gallery but I could not find any porn there.

There is also a BBS which is accessible via Read ads link from any page. Ads are separated by language (English, French, German, Spanish) and if you are lucky to read several languages you can check them all. Sure, you can also place your own ad.

Some other not usual for an adult site possibilities are present: for instance, you can check the visitors’ statistic or join the mailing list. So if you are looking for an original and frequently updated site visit this one.

An introduction to history of leather fetish for gay men

Cuirmale.nl is not another porn site. Instead it describes a long history of leather fetish in gay community. Consequently you won’t find many pictrues on this site. Ones that are present illustrate the main text and are not designed just to make you horny.

The site introduce the world of leather history from the early time to our days. It gives you an impression about leather usage in the Middle Ages and its development. It also describes the influence of leather on various non-gay subcultures such as Rock and Pop musicians, English rockers and bikers etc.

Even more attention is paid to leather in gay culture. Pages of the site describe the emergence of leather fetish and give nice examples of its early evidences as seen from for instance Tom of Finland’s drawings. You learn about an appearence of gay leather bars and clubs. A separate page describes leather magazines and gives nice illustrations from the old ones. Another section brings you some personal leather histories.

The site was developed and maintained by two guys from a lovely Dutch town s’Hertogenbosch. They still add more information about this interesting subject. You are welcome to consult this pages and to educate yourself.
