Folsom Street Fair by definition from friends who told me about the event, was a festival where gays come over to a common place, to kink around. And of course it was nothing compared to the San Francisco Gay Parade, which is way way more suttle. This actually took place around the street of folsom spanning about 8 blocks which happens yearly at every last week of September.

Being thankful that i was accompanied by two other friends which by the way, we are all straight guys, we braved ourselves and open ourselves to whatever we may see in there. We did had a hard time looking for parking, but even though we were just going rounds in that area a lot scenic people can already be seen. Scenic by my definition are in terms of extraordinary, weird, funny, and entertaining. In the end we ended up on a more expensive parking lot costing about $20 which we tried to avoid. But we rather take it rather than take too much time going in rounds. But in the end we got it free? oh yeah! because no one was around to take our money. Not that we really did try to avoid paying, but i guess it was weekend and no one was there to actually tend to customers. So, hooray! hooray!

We really didn’t expect to pay an entrance fee of $5 (not that we mind) , since we didn’t know there is such. Thank God that we did bring a couple of change since i don’t usually bring some. So i guess its meant to be to participate in the event. But being a thrifty person i am, i always wonder where my money goes after i give it to someone. Well after surfing around and reading more about the fair, the entrance fee that i was talking about was actually a donation which benefits a lot of non-profit organizations, which actually helps humanity and all. So i guess my 5 bucks goes a long long way. Cool! money well spent.

Coming from a conservative culture, it is truly an eye opening experience, plus i get to prove what my friends told me about it. First i was shocked and could not believe that people would actually do it. What it means is that they are plain NAKED on the streets. Yes! you read it right. From the moment i entered the gates of the fair it was like watching a non-stop action movie. You pay attention to what is happening, to the details and you constantly feel jittery, where if someone goes on your blind side and shouts aloud, it will definitely make you jump 6 floors. Anyway, friend’s stories was true to every detail. People do get naked in there and you could actually see that they enjoy doing that in there. Majority of them were gay men while some are gay women. Well some of them were not that completely naked but they do actually wear piercings, colars, and tatoos on their privates, band aides for nipples, Some leather clothing but actually exposing.. still their privates, some hand cuffs, chains, and all sorts of things that you’ll see in an S & M store. In some instance when you stare too much on their privates you will see them that they actually treat them as another individual. Pets maybe? or some other guy named Joe. Honestly from how they decorate them to what they actually to them. I saw some stroking, patting, to making them lift weights which makes them what i think. I guess whats lacking in there is actually if you could talk to it. Sometimes it really gets frightening if the guy has actually a huge dick! Plus he is a big guy. It just gives you the notion that he could grab you easily and do whatever he want, Hell! God no! just thinking of it gives me the creeps. But don’t get the wrong idea that i despise or any gay would actually do that on the spot, but well i guess with proper permission i guess they will, but its just some of my crazy ideas while I am there. I didn’t see some hard core action though, only mild ones like kissing torridly, taking turns to whip each other, bending over while the other guy is at his back (but no penetration).

Well after two hours of strolling in the festival i guess i had enough of it, and did feel a bit of a head ache. It was the same with the friends that came with me. I’m a bit surprised though when my mentioned that he is having a head ache while i was feeling the same. Well i guess it was the price to pay for a straight guy from a conservative culture coming to an event like this. Well there is no remorse or some sort. I did enjoy my 2 hours stay there. And I would definitely come with others for years to come. But would never do it alone, Hell no!

Well to end this experience by chance at least i get to take a picture with a nice looking babe. Too bad she was gay women (lesbian) i think. never really asked since i think it was taken for granted that it was a gay event. Too bad also that it was taken from my trustee smart phone, since the camera we brought ran out of battery. Picture quality is not that great but enough to capture a good souvenir.

Here are the other pics.
