About LeatherSIR / Leatherboy

The International LeatherSIR/Leatherboy family is comprised of 12 regional contests in North America where a Sir and boy are chosen to compete at the international contest on Columbus Day Weekend. The Mid-Atlantic LeatherSIR/Leatherboy contest is one of the 13 regional contests that feeds the International LeatherSIR/Leatherboy contest and represents the states of Pennsylvannia, Maryland, Delaware, Washington DC, West Virginia, and Virginia.

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 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!

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

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. For instance, when Hurricane Katrina struck, the LeatherSIR/Leatherboy family stepped forward to create a special hurricane relief fund. This fund has now evolved to become the Leather Tribe Relief Fund - a fund especially designated for leather folk in need.

The annual Mid-Atlantic contest follows the the same four judging categories as the International LeatherSIR/Leatherboy contest. Contestants are judged in: 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 Mr. Mid-Atlantic Leather formats. The Mid-Atlantic fantasy theme for 2006 is Bondage and Restraint. Mid-Atlantic contestants must adhere to this theme during their fantasy.
