you know, i'm not really married to leather as an identity or community, at least these days. (any community really.)
but - mm, i am profoundly thankful i found it at a time before i could internalize some disappointing things sex/body wise.
like - believe it or not as a kink artist i've never watched live action porn. nothing against sex workers; it's more ... i think i've mentioned old 80's leather magazines and zines to several places as my only place to pick up IRL erotic references. since it's honestly the one consistent place i've seen.... real ass people who look like real people - flesh wrinkles bones fat hair smiles and all (somewhat like me even), living life, being erotic, being confident, delighting in the silly with the make-believe that kink is.
it was and has been such a lifesaver when i hear some kind of alien-ass take on what human bodies 'should be' and my only reaction is ... ????? ... who hurt you, man.
idk i just hope more people have that little bubble of deeply relatable pleasantness.
