A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

1996 Wreckers Party

For fans of classic leather, military fetish, and boots like me (I swear I’m not gay, seriously, but I think the more time passes, the less people believe that claim, ha), here’s John at the 1996 Wreckers party:

    Does anyone not have a boot fetish anymore? Shiny shiny boots of leather…

    Boots make things better.

    Randomly, I can also vouch for the fact that sea otters masturbate, too. The tickets to the Aquarium of the Pacific were worth the price just for that.

    I like boots! I have some big green boots and I like the way they make my legs look 🙂

    I think the picture is pretty cool. That guy has a nice smile and his piercing looks great.

    I would not say I have a boots fetish, but a few years ago I had the most gorgeous pair of thigh high suede boots, I felt like the mutz nutz in them 🙂

    for a skinny guy, he’s got a pretty huge penis. And I will state that I do have a boot fetish. Dani Filth’s boots in the Nymphetamine video? Pure unadulterated SEX. Package it and sell it. Damn I want those boots…

    Those look like Santa’s boots to me, makes me feel a little awkward seeing them on a naked guy . .

    You know. This guy creeps me out just a -little- because he looks a whole lot like my uncle before he got a beer belly. In other words, I totally can’t click that picture.
