Don Sir

Don Sir has been a member of the Los Angeles area pansexual leather
community for the last 12 years.  He has presented workshops, demos, and classes on topics such as floggers, singletails, rope bondage, and fire play/cupping for Lair de Sade, Dom Con LA, Pride LA's City and Hawaii BDSM.

Since attending classes presented by the Two Knotty Boys in San Francisco, and a two day intensive with Midori, his fascination with rope bondage was sparked and an intense interest in rope bondage, rope finishing, and rope bondage photography was born.  He kicked his bondage skills up a notch by learning suspension bondage from Jeff Kim, a student of the legendary Max from Seattle.  Teaching is as much a passion for Don Sir as is rope bondage, photography, whips, floggers, fire play, or anything else which provides a profound means of expression.

As the current Mr. Long Beach Leather, and as a representative of the leather community, Don Sir's obligations include outreach within the community as an educator to ensure safety in all SM practices  for all members, from the novice to the seasoned veteran.
