Leather Titles
How important are leather titles and contests?
We asked our readers about leather title holders and contests. Many felt the system was outdated and simply for "Sash Queens" - but a few reminded us of what these events bring to the community. We’d love to hear your thoughts -
- Contests bring men with common interests together. In a world where a lot of the Old Guard is departed, and where cyberspace has begun to substitute for real-time meetings, the only way to keep the leather scene active and vital is by facilitating events that people will want to attend;
- Contests are socially responsible, in that they raise a lot of money for worthwhile causes--such as AIDS research, feeding and housing the poor and indigent, and similar pursuits.
- Contests and Title Holders can be a very positive focus to help build the community.
- Contests give an unbelievable opportunity to those that step up for education, personal growth and self re-evaluation.
- Good title holders are the new leaders in the community - Step up and go for it, yes it is intimidating and you may get nervous, but it is always worth it.
