About LeatherSIR / Leatherboy

The International LeatherSIR/Leatherboy family is comprised of 13 regional contests in North America where a Sir and boy are chosen to compete at the international contest on Columbus Day Weekend.

Do you have what it takes to be a LeatherSIR or Leatherboy?

You might say we're the "bad boys" of leather contests. One of the defining characteristics from other contests is the up front philosophy that LeatherSIR/Leatherboy is about sex. Both the contest and titles are about the representation of the sexual side of the gay male leatherman. Our goals include networking and outreach to help educate the community about leathermen, our erotic expression, traditions and history - and of course, hot leather sex!

International LeatherSIR/Leatherboy are erotic titles that grew out of the now defunct International Mr Drummer and International Drummerboy contests. We wear our sexuality on our sleeve. We embrace the culture and brotherhood of 'players' and we also embrace newcomers on their journey and extend a welcoming hand to the curious and new arrivals to the scene, providing guidance, support and mentoring.

In addition to being the keepers of sacred traditions and a rich heritage that spans decades of our leather culture and history, LeatherSIR and Leatherboy titleholders are community leaders and community builders. Across North America LeatherSIR and Leatherboy titleholders are also devoted to fundraising in their local and regional communities, raising tens of thousands of dollars for community organizations and concerns.

The annual International LeatherSIR/Leatherboy contest follows the same four regional judging categories. Contestants are judged in four categories: Interview; Formal Speech; Physique; and, a Leather Sex Fantasy based on the region's assigned theme for the year. The interview is a private meeting in the afternoon with the judges; the other categories take place on stage during the contest. The fantasy portions of the contest are a fun celebration of leather-sex and one of the key elements that sets LeatherSIR/Leatherboy contests apart for those styled after the International Mr. Leather and Mid-Atlantic Leather formats.

Do you have what it takes to be a LeatherSIR or Leatherboy?

Maybe the answer is a resounding Yes! Or, quite understandably, maybe you are uncertain of the answer, but your curiosity is piqued and your interest has brought you this far. The LeatherSIR/Leatherboy family is a welcoming group and titleholders are community resources.
