Welcome to Kinky SOMA!
We are the “LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District”, and we actually represent all the kinky people who live, work or play in our South of Market San Francisco neighborhood, regardless of sexual orientation, gender, or their fondness for leather.
If you are a heterosexual BDSM fan, a part of a polyamorous relationship, a novice (18+) just embarking on your sexual adventures, or simply a kinky human being who does not identify with any of the letters in the LGBTQ spectrum, we want you to know you are welcome.
-
