Hot or Not: Leather

Leather! This seems like a topic we should have covered in our Hot or Not series at some point or another. Whether it’s harnesses, boots or chaps, some guys get substantially aroused at the sight and touch of leather… Other guys don’t really “get” it.

As I’m sure I’ve shared in the past, I fall into the latter group. Leather doesn’t necessarily gross me out, but I fail to understand what’s so damn appealing about it. How about you? Which side of the fence do you fall on?

  1. the leather itself is not such a turn-on but i love the rough scenarios that are usually connected to this fetish

  2. Leather is hot!  But it’s the man that makes it hot.  Nate Carlton or Samuel Colt in leather get my attention.

  3. For those who DO like it, can I repeat the question Dewitt asked of ‘what is so hot about it’?

    I’m in the doesn’t gross me out but doesn’t really do it for me either camp.  In fact, I think some leather getups are almost laughable with all the straps and harnesses and such.

    Again, not judging, just asking…

  4. A bit of leather on a hot man is great, but it’s mainly the rough sex that is associated with the guys who aren’t just the stand and model kind of SM

  5. I’ve been a vegetarian for nearly 20 years, and I most emphatically think leather is disgusting; even the smell of it makes me nauseated.  The funny thing is, seems like a lot of guys I talk to think I am some kind of leather daddy in disguise.  Fortunately, I am quite capable of dominating a guy without needing to resort to props and costumes….

  6. I absolutely LOVE leather! I love smell of it, the feel of it, the way it compliments my body, and the way some men are able to pull it off!

    I can see why some men arent into it. Some gear (like the ones in this post) have too many studs and claps, which can look a little ridiculous. They look more like oversized fishing lures than clothing… Lol!

    And although most men can pull it off, some guys just don’t look atteactive in certain types of leather clothing. I’ve yet to see a chub, super young twink pull off a harness… Though I have seen them rock a leather vest or a pair chaps plenty of times!

    Leather gets a bad rep because of the way its represented among multiple sources. It’s not just for bears and chubs; men of all body types and levels of furiness wear leather. Collars, whips, and leashes are more associated with bdsm than leather. And although it can be very erotic, leather is not just about sex.

    The pics in this post really don’t help with the misrepresentation of leather either. Where are the pics of men riding their motorcycles in their demin jeans and leather chaps, or groups of men just socializing in their leather gear without their dicks swinging? (Jusy busting your chops MH… I love the photos in this post! Very hot!)

    To me, leather is more about the look/feel of it and the community it attracts. It can be very sexual and representative of dominance or submission, but there is so much more to it that I think people often miss out on.

    Leather can be hot, fun, and social if you open your mind to it!

  7. I find leather very arousing.  But it’s one of those things that you either “get” or don’t.  No need for in depth examination or pseudo-psycho  babble.  It gives you wood or it doesn’t.  Easy squeezy.

  8. Major turn off.  I’m not against fetishes — sports uniforms, military, but leather and any kind of getup with a harness is an instant boner killer.

  9. ah!

    i think how this works is..

    ..(for those of us who aren’t into It) a bloake has a higher chance of looking hot in leather, when he is not donning it under an “overtly-sexual context.”

    on the other side of the spectrum..
    ..speaking as a current non-enthusiast of Leather Fetishings, i also tend to concur that certain, specific, Pieces or Ensembles do look rather laughable (or off-putting), and that one’s over-doing the cowhide (and/or clasps + studs) can make one look kinda…goofy — macanao’s jock•strap, above, being one such example, for me.

    on the whole, i can take It or leave It; and more power to those who can pull it off.

    of course, i’m referring just to Leather, itself — not the, umm, “power-play dynamics” that tends to accompany this.

  10. As the time-honored saying goes, “Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.” And the ultimate display of leather is the IML in Chicago during Memorial day weekend. WOOF!!!!!!

  11. The smell of leather is intoxicating. The price of all these outfits and gear however is tranqualizing. Putting more clothes on when I want to get sexy is also the opposite direction that I want to go. But I do get it’s attraction.

  12. I don’t get the people saying you either get it or don’t, i for one think it can be hot sometimes and sometimes not, depending on my mood, who’s wearing it, if i’m feeling kinky or more vanilla.  So yes, sometimes hot, sometimes not.  For me anyway. 

  13. Leather is the macho version drag. It is a lot of show and attitude, look at me!  Now that being said we all have out likes and dislikes , but I have to admit, Leather is pretty fricking hot.

  14. Never saw the attraction in wearing the cow when what grabs my attention is when you are hung like a bull!!!

  15. I am one of those guys who is really turned on by leather! I’m 25 y/o and find that there isn’t a hell of alot of younger guys into leather…I can remember being in my early teens and becoming aroused when seeing/thinking  images of hot guys in leather pants.

    I’m not totally into the whole harness/bdsm leather scene (although can be a turn on when feeling kinky/wild) – I am more turned on by good looking guys in leather clothing (leather pants, jacket, chaps) and I also find wearing these leather items makes me feel kinda sexy…Examples – good looking twinks/studs in leather pants, guys who are naked but wearing a leather jacket, hotties wearing leather chaps fucking (pic of Kyros Christian in leather jacket below)…of course like with all fetishes, I get off on hooking-up/having sex with guys wearing leather (him, me or both).

    I am also able to have/enjoy sex without the leather element (easily), but there is just something about the feel, sound, look and smell of leather on hot guys that is sooo sexy and appealing I find myself craving leather action time and time again.
