Trans & Non-Binary Inclusion
The 15 Association, one of the world’s oldest men’s BDSM organizations, has always been inclusive of trans men. Throughout the decades, we have sought to be more welcoming of all men in our community as the understanding of gender continues to evolve.
While preserving the affinity of male-centered spaces and masculine energy, The 15 commits to ensuring our events are welcoming of trans men and non-binary and intersex people who identify or present as masculine for the purposes of our events. The 15 additionally commits to educating our members to ensure they are informed and up to date on our inclusion policy.
No on-site Registration
Please be aware that there is currently no on-site registration.
We used to have a laptop that people who were bringing guests who were not in our system could use to enter their vital information, and the Front Desk could then retrieve it and print a Release Form for them to sign. Unfortunately, we've had three laptops stolen within the past year, and are no longer equipped for doing on-site registration.
So, make sure your guests are registered in our system before coming to an event.
Our apologies, but this is non-negotiable.

Sampler & Demos
Saturday, March 21st, from 3:30pm to 6:30pm
Transform1060, 1060 Folsom St, SF
If you’re curious about the world of kink & BDSM; have watched videos but been too nervous to attend a party; or curious what it feels like to experience some of the play you’ve watched from the sidelines at a party — our March Event will be for you! We will have some of our most experienced Tops on hand to offer you short samplers (15 minutes or more) of various kinds of “entry level” beginner’s play, like rope bondage, straight-jackets and sleep-sacks, flogging, spanking or caning, CBT & cock teasing, electro stimulation, pup play, etc. We’ll also conduct Demos and Discussions about “How to Get the Play you Want,” and “How to Play with Trans Guys” — for those who could use some helpful hints and advice on how to get involved in the world of kink. Please come and take advantage of this low-risk way to find out what you like and want more of. We held a similar sampler last August that was praised as one of our most energized parties ever. Don’t miss this one! And we hope you’ll be so turned on by your Samplers, that you’ll stay for our Play Party, and ask for more! We’ll provide pizza, so you don’t have to run out for dinner.
“From Samplers to Scenes” Play Party
Saturday, March 21st, from 7pm to 11pm
Transform1060, 1060 Folsom St, SF
A regular play party, with a wide range of play to watch or partake in. If you liked your samplers, and are hungry for more, ask a Top if they’re willing to give you a full scene. Use your newly-learned skills from the Demos to ask for what you want, or ask one of our hosts, wearing the silver sashes, for help. We want you to have a good time and go home with a smile!
Associates Weekend is April 18th–19th
As usual, this will be an opportunity to enjoy two play parties in one weekend, but this year our membership team has some fun ideas in store to honor our associate members and celebrate the bonds that hold our brotherhood together. So stay tuned!

Sober Leathermen – Find Recovery at Leather Events
The soberleathermen.org website was born out of the desire to connect people to sobriety at leather events. While the focus is on gay leathermen, we hope that people of all gender identities will find the website helpful when navigating sobriety in leather spaces.
This website is not affiliated with any event, meeting, or fellowship.
Leather 12 Step Recovery
For those who are in recovery from addiction, there is a Zoom Leather Recovery group that meets several times a week. Not affiliated with AA/NA/Al-Anon and established over the pandemic, it is an open 12-step meeting for those who are in our community and wish to meet with and be supported by like-minded individuals who understand their kink & fetish interests and how those can interact with recovery.
To inquire, email zoomleatherrecovery@gmail.com for more information.
The group meets on:
Monday @ 5:30pm
Tuesday & Thursday @ 6pm
