San Francisco‘s Folsom Street Fair was threatened by rain and overcast skies this year, but nothing could cool off one of the world’s sexiest public gathering, where leather boys and girls and fetishists of all stripes—plus legions of fans from around the world—were up to their annual hijinks.
More than 400,000 people crowded the 12-block radius all Sunday afternoon. We assigned the incomparable Kevin Kauer to cover all the highlights in pictures. Enjoy, and stay tuned for more Folsom party slideshows!

Folsom’s kind of gone to hell. It’s not the event for leather fetishists it once was. It’s turned into “Cirque du So Gay.” Weirdness and silliness for its own sake, which isn’t a bad thing. But thank the leather gods for Dore Alley.

Rather dull bunch of pics, hardly a surprise Queerty would post. BTW, Folsom weekend is typically one of the warmest of the year in SF, but then again you would have had to attend once or twice to know that.

@Spike: well i’m glad it wasn’t too warm cause the fur hat and leather jacket look really hott on the guys in the first pic!! 😉 🙂

@Storm: so true. I was thinking exactly the same thing. Very tame.

I don’t see one platic baggie stitched to a tit dripping blood into it.

Scruff is the most lame buzzword ever for people who just have stubble and can’t grow actual facial hair.

You guys need to start using photo galleries that do not refresh the entire page and require the user to scroll down to see the “next” button every time. It completely kills the desire to scroll through all the photos when you have to do that.

I’ve been viewing a lot of the photos taken at the most recent Folsom St. Fair. As a straight guy who is feeling more and more gay with each passing day, I must say that the idea of men having sex in public is — to me — highly erotic, and I found images on other sites which I feel to be some of the most stunningly beautiful pictures I’ve ever seen. Guys holding other mens’ dicks in their hands, guys masturbating each other, and still others masturbating from a second-floor window for all the world to see. I would love to attend this event sometime in the future, as there is nothing like it in my part of the country, and I doubt, anywhere else either.
