THIS PILGRIM'S PROGRESS

First fucked by a school mate at the age of 13. Conscripted during WW2 in the RAF. Decided to remain closeted but picked up in Quebec City by a toung guy. Later my experiemce in oral and anal expanded by a priest I visited in NYC. Came fully out when I moved to Montreal and was picked up in agay bar by a young guy. Had 69 with him and subsequently crised the streets nightly. With a Montreal buddy, took two visiting British sailors back to my place overnight. Later in Toronto used to go drinking with a biker friend who gave me information about NYC bars etc. which I later ued on a visit to NYC. Fantasized often about leather & SM and in 1961 when visiting in SF was taken to an early SM bar called The Why Not. Picked up by a hunk who took me home and treated me to an all night bondage & SM session. Becaame hooked and sought out masuline, sadistic hunks at every opportunity. Met a handsome leather guy in a burger joint in SF in 1981 who was visiting from Chicago. Gave me his card and sent me an invitation in 1982 to Chicago Hellfire Inferno. Met some good buddies there and visited annually, becoming an associate member in 1984. Had moved to Vancouver in 1967 where I found the leather/sm scene less than attracctive so founded a group based on GMSMA in 1982. The we named the group Vancover SM Activists and it grew by word of mouth. For our annual AGM weekend we invited many top SM activists from all over N.America. Today the club still exists but venues for activies become more difficult to find year after year, due mainly to demolitions and reconstruction all over Vancouver. Like many other cities, many gay "leather" bars have disappeared. Some members of VASM who have suitable homes are able to host events. Information about VASM and events can be found on our website - www.vasm.bc.ca.
