5 Questions with Kermit
“Consent is sexy” is true and a cute catchphrase, but more than “sexy,” it’s necessary. Non-consent in any manner is a violation. It is a core value of mine. I needed something else that was true to my personal integrity.
Stripping Down and Feeling Free in a Naturist Village
Three years ago, I found out that there is a small town in the South of France that does not just have a nudist beach or a nudist resort, but the entire village of Cap d’Agde is nude. Yes, you can be naked while getting your coffee at the cafe, naked at the grocery store, naked while sipping a glass of wine at the pub, or naked while shopping for clothes.
Kinky Shorts was Bootyful
PROUD & Kinky threw its second BDSM play party on Thursday, June 29th, at Starbase, where the main rule of the night was no pants allowed. There was a wonderful turnout of a diverse group of queer kinksters and allies. DJ Toast kept the evening lively and upbeat with their phenomenal DJ skills.
From the Editor
As the final dog days of summer are coming to an end, PROUD & Kinky is just warming up for a fun and exciting fall. I’m overjoyed to introduce you to our three 2023 PROUD & Kinky Leather titleholders.
Consensual Connections
Authentic, heart-centered spaces can be challenging to find. As a young adult, I struggled with depression and anxiety and craved deep, meaningful connections. Healthier environments that would nurture growth and interpersonal relationships were something I desired but didn't know how to find.
Dominic Pacifico – The Dom Behind Kinkmen.com
I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Dominic Pacifico to get to know the man in front of, and behind, the camera. I found him to be articulate, soft spoken, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the Kink life and Kink entertainment. He is currently an exclusive Director with Kinkmen.com.
Announcing Las Vegas Leather Titles
PROUD & Kinky is hosting leather title holders in 2023. There are four Las Vegas Leather titles that we are seeking nominations for: Mr. Las Vegas Leather, Las Vegas Person of Leather, Las Vegas Pup of Leather, and Las Vegas Bootblack. The Las Vegas Person of leather will receive a more specific title characteristic of what they feel fits them best.
Gratuitously Bisexual
Rouge at the Strat Hotel bills itself as the “Sexiest show in Vegas”. However, I would call it the most bisexual show in Vegas. With a strong ensemble cast and raunchy solos that feature aerialists, contortionists, acrobatics, and even a little bit of dildo juggling, this show makes for a fun and arousing date night activity.
Unchained Melody
As fashion and fetish-wear continue to become increasingly intertwined, designers are striving to incorporate the latter’s seedy aesthetic into their collections. The latest to combine ready-to-wear design sensibilities with kink-wear is the gay-owned menswear designer, Addicted USA.
Spilling the Tea in Sin City
Service and showing up to help foster community are big components of being a titleholder. I had the opportunity to ask our current royalty members a bit more about what serving in that role means to them and what opportunities they got to experience in 2022. The Las Vegas pup community is full of diversity and the sweetest pups. We had a blast getting this pack of pups together for the cover shoot.
