RUFF THOUGHTS: “First exposure to Bondage”

I ran across this GIF of “Robin” tied up which brought back some memories.  Like many other Kinksters, the “BATMAN” cartoon and live action TV series were my first exposure to bondage and spandex.   I’ve shared this with some younger guys getting into bondage who have told me that they had a similar first exposure to kink but with the “Batman: The Animated Series” as well as other incarnations of “Batman” shows and movies…  including “Nightwing”.

It’s pretty clear that having a Superhero Fetish is fastly becoming more and more common.

POW! The Superhero Fetish Meetup

Below is a post and major announcement from Pablo Greene, author of the kinky superhero book series How to Kill a Superhero.

Sometimes, I have felt like kinksters don’t take superhero fetish seriously.

But I don’t like to think on negative terms. I like to take action instead of complaining.

Four years ago, I started organizing the Superhero Fetish Meetups at events like Mid-Atlantic Leather (MAL), International Mr. Leather (IML), and even New York Comic Con.

At first, just a few people turned out to meet up. They wore their best cosplays, they laughed, took photos together. Some even hooked up or fell in love.

And over the years, it grew, and grew. Other members of the community continued to create superhero meetups I couldn’t attend, and I encouraged them to do it, to keep the energy of the movement going. Brian Bolt Donner was one of these key organizers. Thanks to his efforts and energy, he also  created superhero fetish gatherings, dance parties and other events that generated community. This work would not be possible without him.

I am happy to announce that IML has made the Superhero Fetish Meetup an official event in its lineup. It’s going to be LIT.
