Folsom Street Fair and Dore Alley
San Francisco hosts some of the best events for seeing unashamed men, namely the annual Folsom Street Fair and its little brother, the Up Your Alley Fair, commonly known as Dore Alley. Both cater to the leather/BDSM crowd.
Both are clothing-optional events, where crowds of clothed people mingle with guys wearing little or nothing. (Dore Alley, 2012)
A leather harness is a favorite costume. (Dore Alley, 2019)
Street sex is prohibited, but it happens. And there's a lot of groping going on. (Dore Alley, 2006)
Inside the vendor booths, nothing is prohibited. Among the vendors are porn video companies who are happy to tease the customers. (Folsom, 2007)
But the most popular attraction at both fairs is undoubtedly Twister on the Steamworks raised stage. I think you can see why. (Folsom, 2008)
So close ... but can't quite reach. (Dore Alley, 2008)

OUTRAGEOUS, crazy as hell.
I've great memories of attending the Dore Alley Fair.
“Clothing optional events” remove a lot of stress. The performers can show off as they like and the lurkers are invited to watch, take photos, enjoy. It is right as rain and fun for both sides.
