SPLF2025

Hosted by Sir Guy, Master Lola Smiles, and the Goddess Indigo.

Welcoming BIPOC Only. South Plains Leatherfest has, in most recent years, been described as a wonderful Leather family gathering. Leatherfolk from around the country and even around the world all come together to fellowship, play, be entertained, and enjoy each other's company. But, as in the case with most families, there can be internal issues that sometimes are overlooked, or that cannot be overlooked. Recent events politically and otherwise have put a strain on our familial relationships. To this end, Sir Guy from the Dark Lair, along with Master Lola Smiles and Goddess Indigo have put together this conversation, “The Talk - The Conversation BIPOC Folk Need to Have“ to have an open conversation about the things that unite us, and the things that divide us, and to iron out our differences in the sincere hope that we can be united in our fight to bring about safe spaces and welcoming arms to all in the BIPOC Communities. As Malcolm X said, "You can't separate peace from freedom. No one can be at peace unless he has his freedom." This conversation is about helping us acquire what Leather is all about: our peace and our freedom, so this is exclusively for those who openly identify as being BIPOC. BIPOC Family, please join the discussion.

Taboo play can provide rich and robust experiences that allow one's fantasies to flourish. But navigating the delicate balance of consent and the forbidden can be a challenging but intriguing paradox. It is that paradox which Master PlaineJane will uncover as she provides an enticing journey into taboo play. This Intensive is not for the faint of heart as Master PlaineJane will delve into different types and expressions of taboo play to include; religious, dark age, integration, objectification, degradation and humiliation play. She will also discuss the core values that can be utilized for effective taboo scenes. Along with powerful demonstrations, Master PlaineJane will discuss the emotional requirements for playing with taboos and degradation play safely; without emotional damage to your partner(s).
