Taking Responsability

The first Leatherman that I played with as a young Gay man in 1986 was Billy Jefferson. With my cock in Billy's talented mouth, an onlooker told me that Billy advocated safe sex in a very active way. I soon learned "Sargeant Safety" had no qualms about demonstrating the tenets of safe sex.

For Billy, being pro-sex was not contrary to safe sex. In fact, he led by example, one man at a time. He was not shy about talking about safe sex either from his knees or from the rostrum as the first Mr. Seattle Leather.

Twenty-five years later the discussion continues primarily because of the feel good practice of bare backing. As a Sir that loves to fuck, I vouch for the fact that I prefer feeling the skin of my cock inside a man's ass rather than through a latex barrier. However, as a Leatherman I also value the health of others in my tribe as much as I value my own health. And I am mindful of the need to protect those in the next generation, not only from HIV but also from Hep C and other infectious disorders.

Proudly, I recommend this article by my Clan brother, Tony Buff. He is a TitanMen exclusive and the originator of the TitanMen series, Rough. Thank you, Tony, for continuing to uphold Seattle's tradition of safe sex, as advocated by Billy Jefferson. His articulate stance mirrors my own feelings.
