A limited amount of funding is available for 15 members from the Jones fund to assist those who cannot afford to attend. If you need assistance, please include a request with your application. If you can offer assistance, we would appreciate your contributions* (see application for details).
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. Ideally, they’d upload their COVID vaccination information as well, but it can be shown at the front desk.
Our apologies, but this is non-negotiable.
Get out and play with your brothers! Mark your calendars for these upcoming 15 Association Play (and other) Events:
For Advance Ticket Recommended events, tickets can be purchased in advance on the website, but can also be obtained at the door if they are still available (however the only payment allowed is credit/debit card, i.e. no cash).
The Calendar on our website is more current than the Inquisitor.
Dear brothers, I hope this finds each and every one of you well. As we head towards the holiday season, I reflect on the close of my third year having the privilege to serve as the Club’s Chairman. Last month, we partnered with ONYX Northwest to host our first collaborative play party in at least as long as I’ve been involved with The 15. It was spectacular, bringing together over 100 leathermen and kinksters from across our diverse community. I could not be prouder of seeing this happen and getting to experience the love and joy of those who attended. In October, I also had the joy of welcoming two new Associate Members to the club. Greg Boyd of Albuquerque, NM, and Jeff B. of Colorado were both voted in to our brotherhood. I have had the pleasure of getting to know both of them this year and know they will represent us well. We also have a new Fraternal member, Mitch Enfinger. Mitch brings a much-needed youthful perspective to the committee and will help lead us as we continue to thrive for decades to come. I’d like each of us to remember that The 15 shines brightest when we support our members in times of hardship and crisis. The world is rough right now. Always remember that, first and foremost, we are a fraternity that celebrates the love we have for one another...as much as (and because) we like to beat one another. Warmly, |

“This year’s Pacific Northwest Leathermen’s Campout was a resounding success! Held during 3-6 August 2023, we had almost 50 men enjoying this Leather-focused event, which is also BDSM-friendly, Pup-friendly, sex-positive, and clothing optional, with a variety of seminars, workshops, and laughter! We enjoyed 15 secluded, tree-lined acres near Oregon City, Oregon, just 25 minutes south of Portland International Airport. Next year’s event is set for 1-4 August 2024, at the same location, so watch for the announcement on our website: www.pnwlc.org”
Thanks, Dave!
“I am thrilled to announce that Asylum Underground is ready to serve our pan-sexual/Leather/kink/fetish/BDSM/Pup community in Portland, with our first Tastings event coming on Friday, November 3, 2023!” said Candie Winkel, president of the board of directors of Asylum Underground. She went on to urge everyone to watch for the new website coming soon.
Asylum Underground’s initial launch event, called “Sample Asylum,” was an opportunity for the public to view many different presenters on the evening of Friday, November 3, 2023, at 800pm, as they offer a variety of pan-sexual/Leather/kink/fetish/BDSM/Pup styles of play. Presenters will be offering discerning adults many different ways to enhance intimacy in a safe, sane, consensual environment.
The location: 1006 SE Grand Avenue in Portland. Prices are as follows: $10 for the evening including a one-month membership, or $5 just for the evening. For further information, please contact: asylumundergroundpdx@gmail.com
Asylum Underground is a new organization in Portland, soon to become a 501(c)7 membership-based non-profit organization, focused on serving the pan-sexual/Leather/kink/fetish/BDSM/Pup community with classes and events. Asylum Underground is assuming the programs and assets of a previous, now-defunct group known as Catalyst, with a totally new board of directors, with new initiatives, new community outreach, and new programs.
