There's no doubt about it... Madrid's liberal attitude to life makes this city the capital of Sleaze... and we just love it. No other city would have a festival to its name. Sleazy Madrid and Into the Tank are two of the most popular festivals for leather/rubber/fetish followers... to such an extent that they are franchising the event right across Europe!

There's something for every fetish taste in Madrid. And don't worry... there's plenty for the voyeur too... so you don't have to participate...its ok to watch, as long as you are invited! Remember this is a city that welcomes tolerance, but still respects the individual.

Most of the clubs and bars listed here have theme nights. Check out the blog for details of upcomming events. Dresscodes are strictly enforced...so come prepared... of course you can always just take your clothes off... naked men are always welcome.

Cruising (Perez Galdos 5) is an enormous, aptly-named space. Downstairs is a maze of dark areas and videos playing, with some private lock up areas. Lots of pleasurable noises can be heard in the dark, as people flick lighters to see what's going on! There is a small dance-floor playing happy house and pop, and they have weekend strippers here, too.

At Eagle Bar (Pelayo 30) expect chaps, leather, and denim. The space is small but gets a good crowd and atmosphere.

O'Clock Bear's Bar (San Marcos 11) is frequently busy with locals and tourists, music play from current to past decades -- as people sit on stools and sing.

Hot Bar (9 Infantas) is a small venue, but big on friendliness and fun.

Copper Bar and Sex Club (San Vicente Ferrer 34) is a great place to let go of everything. Check in all your clothes and sit and enjoy the atmosphere of this nude/fetish bar. It's just a five minute walk from Chueca, and is situated in a quiet area of town. On Sundays the place is packed with underwear lovers, and on Wednesdays it's X-Naked night. Take the Metro to Tribunal and walk down San Vicente.

Bear's Bar (Pelayo 4) is another friendly place where you'll get to know everyone in no time. The second room features bear porn, and offers private space where bears can frolic.

Strong Center (Trujillos 7) hosts nightly parties and hard-core fun, lots of cruising and drinking, and man-on-man action.

Leather Bar (Pelayo 42) is another men's club to find sex, with darkrooms, cabins, porn videos, slings, glory holes, and no dress code.

Hell Sex Club (Buenavista 14), open daily except Mondays, is (and I quote) "a new space where real men can fuck... for friends, travelers, and guests." It's membership-only, so see their website and get your invitation by email before going.
