For my friends who are interested in leather history and protocols, I recommend the latest episode of the NoSafeWord show. Their topic is Old Guard vs. New Guard, and its discussed by two, young puppy-boys who have experience in both settings. It's very good. The only thing I dislike is the use of "Old Guard" - I'd rather say "Traditional" Leather, meaning that type of style that developed among guy men in late '60s and '70s, whereas "THE Old Guard" refers to specific (and mostly mythical) group of men from the '50s and '60s. But, that aside, I think this is a great conversation about the traditional vs. modern leather scene. The big difference being whether or not you're allowed to smile in photographs...
The conversation on Old vs. New leather starts about halfway through the episode , if you want to skip to it.
