To those of you unfamiliar with SM Gays, they’re a not-for-profit social and educational group for gay men who are interested in consensual, sexual sadomasochism.
The group, which is unfunded and run by volunteers, has been meeting for over 30 years and aims to encourage safe and lawful SM practices through sharing information among people with similar interests.
On the third Thursday of the month SM Gays holds a Discovery Night at the Hoist in Central London where you can learn more about SM techniques and meet guys with similar interests (events attract around 200).
You don’t need to be a member to get in, there’s no dress code and the atmosphere is friendly and informal. So if you’re a seasoned pro in SM practices, or you’d like to find out more about sexual sadomasochism, why not go along to one of the upcoming Discovery Nights.
On Thursday May 16th it’s Rubber & Mummification as part of London Rubber Weekend and on Thursday June 20th it’s CP & Flogging. Then on Thursday July 18th it’ll be SM Gays’ Birthday Party at the Hoist sponsored by RoB London.
Go along and celebrate another year of SM with a lively crowd, and meet the horny host for the night, Mr Leather UK. Discovery Nights start at 6pm, the Birthday Party starts at 8pm and both go on until midnight.
• You’ll find the Hoist at Railway Arches 47b & 47c, South Lambeth Road, Vauxhall, London SW8 1RH. More info at www.smgays.org.
On Thursday May 30th Expectations, the UK’s largest fetish store, is hosting an evening with SM Gays where there’ll be demos of CP, rubber suspension, plaster casting and some special surprises! The horny action kicks off after work and the guys at Expectations will be serving refreshments as well as giving a massive 20% discount on most purchases on the night!
• Expectations Store is at 75 Great Eastern Street, London EC2A 3RY.
