The gay kink community has been quite expanding over the last years and the fetish scene is following that trend. One of the most striking change is the puppy community. It originated from the dog play community, a form of bdsm play where you are not event a slave, a gimp, not even a human being. It allows the player to leave all social codes and free himself. It developped a lot as an easy and efficient way to switch out of reality.
I’ve seen the gearhead scene develop, and I’m super happy that, as I continue my path exploring gear fun, there’s more diversity than ever. I recently looked at group photos from Gearblast 10 years ago versus nowadays. It used to be mostly leather bikers at Gearblast. Nowadays you have bikers, tactical people, firefighters, hazmat guys, sports players, and every combination of those!
Another evolution I’ve seen at events and online is that most new gearheads nowadays explore the puppy universe: they shoot puppy pictures and bring puppy hoods to events.
For me and many other gearheads who don’t say it publicly, a pup hood greatly reduces the strength of the look. As a gearhead, aren’t you after that anonymous, sometimes threatening look? A balaclava, a tactical helmet, a gas mask, or a motorbike helmet really hook me in! And a puppy hood kind of destroys it.
I don’t mind people exploring awesome gear-and-puppy combinations. But I want to stress to newcomers that the puppy hood is not a mandatory item for exploring gear fetish interests!
Stay creative and show us your best looks!
