We’re going there this year because we are The Bold Italic after all. What’s a good San Francisco fair that doesn’t have a little bit of nudity? Or in Dore Alley’s case, a lot.
Have we mentioned there’s nudity here? This year’s Dore Alley featured a range of kinky activities, including live bondage demonstrations and the ever-popular Naked Twister. The event was a mix of erotic displays and community connection. For as many displays of love and friendship, we saw equal amounts of saucier physical connection.
San Francisco is unapologetic for its self-expression, and we are likewise unafraid to show that side of our city on The Bold Italic. But you’ve been advised: Butts ahead, nips, and very sexually suggestive content. If you missed this raunchy day on San Francisco streets, fear not: Folsom Street Fair is coming up again before you can say “dildo.”
We did thin this selection out considerably given Medium’s policy of “non-graphic erotic images.” For some more raunch, here’s a link to our offsite NSFW album, and we encourage you to check out The Dick Artist’s Twitter.
