Get ready, leather lovers. The world's biggest leather and fetish event has arrived! The Folsom Street Fair is a San Francisco rite of passage, and a super fun (and super sweaty) afternoon in the sun. Held this Sunday, September 27th from 11am-6pm, the fair takes place on and around Folsom between 8th and 13th Streets. Live music, fair food, a lot of booze and a "coat/clothing check" for those who wish to disrobe. For FSF virgins, be forewarned that this is an X-rated event jam packed with 400,000 "fetish enthusiasts," including these following folks you will definitely run in to:
1. Old man casually masturbating.
2. A friend of your dad's getting whipped at a BDSM booth, while his second wife giggles and posts to Instagram.
3. San Francisco values of sex-positive, body-positive, creative enthusiasm.
4. Your co-worker, drunk and in a dog collar.
5. A very detailed horse costume made completely of leather.
6. Police officers, or maybe just people in police officers costumes, we can never really tell.
7. Precision-trimmed chest hair.
8. Amazing bondage contraptions you had no idea existed.
9. People in love.
10. People in lust.
11. Chaps, jock-straps and thousands of black leather chest harnesses.
12. Live sex acts.
13. Gimp masks (you'll know 'em when you see 'em).
14. Did we mention the old guy casually masturbating? Okay, just checking.
