Leather harnesses have long been associated with gay culture, particularly within the fetish and BDSM communities. Wearing a harness is often seen as a statement of masculinity, confidence, and sexual empowerment among gay men.
In gay culture, harnesses are commonly worn at events like pride festivals, circuit parties, and leather gatherings, where they serve as both a fashion statement and a symbol of belonging to the LGBTQ+ community. They can also be worn in more intimate settings, such as clubs or private encounters, as a form of sexual expression and exploration.
For many gay men, wearing a harness can evoke feelings of power, dominance, and eroticism. It can be a way to tap into fantasies of submission or domination, depending on one’s role and preferences in sexual encounters. Additionally, the sight of a man in a harness can be incredibly arousing for both the wearer and those around them, heightening the sexual energy of a space.
Beyond its sexual connotations, wearing a harness can also be a form of self-expression and body positivity. For some, it’s a way to showcase their physique and confidence, while for others, it’s a means of challenging societal norms and embracing non-traditional forms of masculinity.
Overall, the appeal of harnesses in gay culture lies in their ability to evoke a sense of empowerment, sexual liberation, and community connection. Whether worn for fashion, fetish, or both, harnesses continue to hold a significant place in the collective identity of the LGBTQ+ community.

So… how do you feel about leather harness, guys? Are you drawn to men sporting a leather harness? Is it a turn-on for you or not?
Personally, I believe that wearing a harness sends a clear message, something like: “Hey, let’s hook up.” Also, one doesn’t have to be interested in BDSM or pup play to appreciate them. Harnesses can be worn and admired for their aesthetic appeal, not solely because of a fetish. Do you agree? Why or why not?

Hmmmmmmm.
My single, solitary, just me, opinion
Not hot on it’s own.
… it’s more of a “what am I gonna be harnessed to…?”, thing for me.
And, that *could* have an appeal.
whipping post?
Thank you, but no… I’ve been married.
Some guys look good in them. Can see where Tops and Sub Bottoms might like them for control or be controlled.
Like fancy underwear, I just want to get it off a guy and get on to getting off.
Yes. I want to be on my knees for.a.sexy.man in harness.
A harness doesn’t necessarily, look, all that Hot (in my opinion) but, it serves more of a, functional, purpose! It gives you something to grab onto when, things get a little, out of control!
I prefer being bareass naked
The harness doesn’t make the man hot. The man makes the harness hot. It all depends on who is wearing it.
I love the look of a harness. Sadly, manufacturers don’t bother to make them for bigger guys. I have a 54″ chest and 38″ waist. Off the rack sizes stop at a max of 44″ chest. On the rare occasion someone does offer them in larger sizes, they are sold out as soon as they hit the shelf. That should tell someone somewhere that there is a market.
I think it does depend on the body and chest it’s on.
NOT…….AT ALL
Forget the harness bull!!! My problem is here lately, 95% of the pictures and models from shutterstock are lite skin or caucasian guys. Do men of color still exist? I strolled back and noticed this. Members please do the same to verify my assessment. In the past, I think the moderator purposely tried to include diversity when he posted pictures in subject matters. As far as advertisement for sex toys, its 100% Caucasians. Maybe men of color don’t buy sex toys or maybe aren’t members of a4a. This reminds me of watching tv in the early 70s when 98% of… Read more »
Unfortunately, as a leather gear lover, we gotta make and model our own, I guess, ’cause we got some really spectacular lookin’ dudes, who can and do pull this shit beautifully.
Agreed. I have a very good friend that is Black, we actually dated for a bit. He and I both love harnesses, and he looks damn good in one. I don’t know why this site continues to be so whitewashed, but look at some of the profiles and you can tell why.
I dream of 10 BBC Tops in leather everyday 🙂
Convenient Asians and First Nations people were absent from your equality speech.
But this blog posts Asians and Latin men, too! Not just black and white people. Unless Asians and Latin men are also considered white?
Oh ok. Appreciate you replying to me but I noticed you didn’t comment on African American Pioneer Marsha Johnson and all her endeavors. I know we pick and chose what we comment on but I’m still in admiration mold for Marsha. Oh, click on a4a Sex Shop, check out the models and get back with me.
I started with just a leather collar with a leash ring and discovered my submissive desires. Added a Leather cock harness, and just got a puppy dog butt plug. Anything leather !
Actually, I love to go ‘dressed’ to a leather club or party, it’s like the old biker bars; this would look fantastic under a biker jacket and jeans or leather pants, but that’s just for the club/s.
During more intimate times or sex, nothing on at all.
I like a guy in a harness and I own 2 of them. My bi wife and I are swingers and I decided she wasn’t going to be the only one that got to dress sexy for an encounter. I think I look good in a jockstrap and chest harness!
Sex = 2 or more nude bodies & nothing else (at least in my book). So harnesses or any other non-living things residing on the male bodies that excite me aside from condoms are never hot to me.
On huge muscled top guys with big pecs, yes. Otherwise not a chance.
Not at all for me…if the top has a nice build I guess it is ok…for me. I envision a sense of dominance when a guy wears one so for me, as a bottom I think I would look ridiculous…but pretty much meh. In my opinion sexy underwear and jockstraps does it for me…it makes me very horny, my mouth begins to water and makes my mouth and manhole want dick bad.
Is it just me or is it a thing,,, dominant men make the best tops,,
Actually I do not like “dominant” tops…I like my ass to be seduced with slow erotic movements…I do not like to be pounded…again, slow erotic A+ stroke game. I like to sensually and erotically suck his dick…I would not want to be face fucked…and I love to be sensually rimmed in hopes of a no hands full body shaking and trembling anal orgasm in my jockstrap or sexy backless bikini briefs…
I meant dominant like a man’s man a man that knows how to fuck a bottom,, not just pound my ass but fuck me right,,, I also enjoy give long and sensual blowjob’s and having my ass ate for long periods of time,,,even tho I am a very masculine and dominant DL man myself once behind closed doors with my top I also like to wear a jockstrap or some nice bikinis,,, I also enjoy being rubbed with oil and I enjoy rubbing a man body with oil while sucking his dick for him
One has to arch their back; get his ass up in the air, for the down stroke, it’s a rhythmic thing, personally, all about the method. Regardless of position, arch you back to glid it in not just bucking your hips, like you’re on a horse.
It’s true, I’ve watched some of the vids and the top/s really does a horribly sloppy lazy job fucking the bottom.
they make me very hard. I think they are hot.
Not.
