The human dogs and ponies were bound to have a spanking good time at Folsom Street Event’s kink and fetish fest. At the Mr. S Leather booth, live S&M demos drew the biggest crowds of gawkers. Edge “suffered” through it just for you – here are the pics!

Rain threatened to dampen the festivities, but by mid-afternoon the sun was out and so were half a million exhibitionists and voyeurs. Two live entertainment stages at either end bookmarked five big city blocks of beer, food, leather, and bondage gear vendors. A line-up of six DJ’s kept the 10th street Gold’s Gym entertainment block dancing from 11am to 6pm. The Steamworks Baths’ naked twister game was popular, as were the Titan, Raging Stallion, and Man’s Hands booths, where the stars were on hand to sign autographs and take pictures with fans. Spanking and whipping booths were busy and the ladies had a special place to hang at the Venus Playground. By the end of the day, the crowds thinned a bit and became even more frisky, before heading to local watering holes, one of the big after parties, or perhaps a private dungeon.
