∞♥∞ The Poly Exchange is dedicated to education and support for those interested in the intersection of Polyamory and Authority Based Relationships. Our mission is to provide an interactive forum for those with this shared interest to explore, learn, share, and discuss this particular juncture of relationship dynamics. The Poly Exchange celebrates and passionately advocates for diversity. We are committed to fostering an inclusive safe space for all orientations and identifications to engage in meaningful discourse where these consensual relationship dynamics can be talked about openly and authentically.
Far too many in our chosen families have already been lost to us with precious little of their wisdom preserved. Our Leather Legacy is dedicated to collecting the teachings, lived experience, and perspectives of important voices in the Leather and M/s community so that more of their insight and understanding can be made accessible to future generations.

MAsT International
MAsT International is dedicated to providing education, support, and resources to individuals involved or interested in consensual Master/slave relationships.
MAsT was founded in 1988 in San Francisco by Fred Vaselenak and his slave michel as a support organization for gay men in Master/slave relationships. During this time Luke Owens was instrumental in developing the International Master/slave Contest as part of MAsT. Since then it has grown to over 90 active chapters worldwide.
MAsT, through these member chapters, provides a forum for like-minded individuals of all roles and identifications to come together for the discussion of topics meaningful to these relationships, to share their experiences and ideas, and gain support for building, maintaining, and sustaining intentional authority-based dynamics.

The M/s Gathering
May 1-3, 2026
Sheraton Suites
Wilmington, DE
We often compare the M/s Gathering to a MAsT meeting on steroids. Why is that? Well instead of the traditional workshops and classes, the M/s Gathering is comprised of moderated discussions. The moderators include national and regional presenters as well as community members or group leaders who are interested and have something to share in a discussion group.
Black Leather in Color
Black Leather In Color was launched in Winter 1994.
Born after the 1993 March on Washington and
spearheaded by S. Guy Giumento, he and a collective
of People of Color wanted a publication “specifically
for People of Color and their friends involved in, or
curious about, leather/SM/radical sex/fetish practices
and lifestyles.”
In 2018, BLIC was inducted into the Leather Hall of Fame for its contribution to the visibility of the People
of Color in Leather community.
BLIC, the Next Generation, is a celebration of the
originators. It has been 30 years and as a collective
we have volunteered to carry the torch that has been
blessed and passed on to us.
