Highlights from Folsom Fair 2013

Pornstars, leather, puppy play, floggings and more

Highlights from Folsom Street Fair 2013.

Leather enthusiasts from around the globe flocked to San Francisco Sept 27 to attend the famed Folsom Street Fair. Attracting more than 400,000 people in various stages of undress, BDSM attire and overall freakishness, the fair, a celebration of sexual diversity and liberty, celebrated its 3oth year in the heart of the city.

“You can see pretty much any kind of sexual fetish, kink, fantasy played out here on the playground,” says Demetri Moshoyannis, executive director of the Folsom Street Fair.

But there are some rules.

“What will get us in trouble is vanilla sex,” Moshoyannis says. “But anything in the BDSM realm, you are good to go.”

Highlights included naked twister, whipping stations, gay pornstars by the dozen, and men and women in leather harnesses and chaps.

Voyeurs and exhibitionists cavorted under the blazing California sun, and everyone got their freak on. Check out Daily Xtra‘s footage above.
