A classic at its 20 year mark!
12. Oktober 2003
Von TammyJo Eckhart
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Today kinky people use terms like endorphins and tribe to describe what they do, but you know where those ideas came from? Geoff Mains was one of the first leathermen to take his vanilla career as a professional scientist, a biochemist, and turn his lens onto his sexuality. Today these ideas seem a bit old but this classic is something I highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn about leather history, gay leather culture, or ideas of biology and anthropology in relationship to kink. The culture Mains describes isn't always pretty, it isn't the cleaned up media picture, but it is an honest look into the leathermen of the early 1980s.

Unique Analysis
7. Mai 2010
Von Maya Horgan
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Urban Aboriginals is one of the most thought provoking, exciting and well-written ethnographies I have ever read. Geoff Mains is witty in his writing as he passionately introduces the reader to the real, scandalous and kinky lifestyle of The Leathermen. He takes a unique approach at introducing their way of life; he flows smoothly between objectively analyzing the men's behavior and including narrative anecdotes of their intimate lives. The book is very informative but introduces the concepts through the eyes of participating members, which seems to humanize and rationalize the otherwise obscure behavior and rituals. The lifestyle becomes real, tangible and comprehendible as it describes the personal, emotional anecdotes of the Leathermen.
The end of the ethnography examines the men's behavior as though they were part of a primitive tribe. He attempts to dissect the motives and sources of this behavior and his analyses are very plausible. The men become Urban Aboriginals, participating in a 21st century shamanistic act. Their carnal behavior is a means of attaining an altered state of consciousness that brings them closer to their higher power. Incredible.

I gave my original copy away. This one is even better (quaility of paper, binding and cover). If you are interested in subcultural fetish communities and want get a better understanding of the male leather ethos, this is a must read.
