Honoring the past, Playing in the present, Building the future

Sir Raul Mendez   (contact)

Raul and his partner, George, have been in the leather lifestyle for 10 of the 16 years they have been united.

During his leather journey, Raul has been involved in a number of fundraising activities benefiting local not for profit organizations ranging from Care Resource, an HIV counseling establishment to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

He is a member of Seattle Men in Leather as well as the South Florida Bondage Club and is also engaged with Beyond Leather to further the leather community in South Florida.

His passion is learning and counseling others in the leather lifestyle in regards to the different life changing events individuals may experience that range from health issues to relationships. Raul's door is all ways open for those who wish to reach out for advice or direction via the electronic forum (internet) and in person.

Raul bases his ideology on past experiences in his life, fetish play and relationships which comprise of three very important pillars forming his foundation and direction for his life. The three pillars constitute: maturity, honesty and trust.

The main interest in Raul's life is the guidance and nurturing of his leather family. He faces the facts that a relationship between two is not easy, and a family is all the more consuming as it requires a lot of work and commitment, however, in the end, the special emotional gift derived from this unit is so worth any pain, aggravation and labor.

On a less serious note, Raul enjoys making the majority of his own fetish toys.
