What ‘s your idea of kinky sex? Hot wax? Whips? Leaving the lights on? Go behind the scenes at the annual Mr. Leather competition, where thousands of men from around the world have gathered for over 30 years to compete for this title of Kink-community -leadership. Once a small niche community that was dismissed by critics as a carnival of gay sexual fetishes, leather has gone mainstream, and Kink Crusaders proves why. As it delves into the lives and aspirations of its contestants with humour, tasteful eroticism and pathos, it reveals a group of men for whom spiritual connection, openness and understanding are the true definition of masculinity.
