Question
I would like to ask you if you have any information as i have gotten many different answers and i have my own opion as to how someone..... (earn's there leather) ..Thank you IN Leather,  Sir Rick

Answer
There are actually a couple of ways to "Earn Your Leathers". The original, Old Guard method was to go through the gay Leather Bars, starting by being accepted as a slave, or boy by one of the bikers. From there, you had to work your way up through the ranks, to eventually become accepted as a Dominant, and Master.

Another way is to be mentored through a House, such as House of Dragon, starting out at the bottom as a slave, and again, working Your way up through the ranks, through sub, switch, and eventually reaching the point of expertise to where You are considered by the Master of The House to be a Master, and Dominant. This is considered a "Baptism by fire", so to speak, and You will know the feel of every whip, flogger, paddle and cane in the House.

These two ways are the only acceptable ways that I know of to "Earn Your Leathers", although I personally believe that they can be earned through perfecting expertise with Your whips, paddles, canes and floggers.

I hope this helps. Please contact me if You need further information.
