Wearing a gay harness often signifies pride in one's sexual identity, connection to the gay community's culture, or specific sexual interests, particularly in the fashion and BDSM scenes.
A little history for the curious: the gay harness, a nod to BDSM culture, gained prominence in the s among the gay leather community. Initially a symbol of rebellion against societal norms, it has evolved into a proud representation of identity and inclusivity within the LGBTQ+ community.
Harnesses worn above the nipples is a Sir (or Dom or Handler, etc) and below the nipples is a boy (or sub or pup, etc). Today, it all barely means anything at all other than aesthetics and fashion. Albeit, that is not an excuse to go touching anything.
For many men, donning a harness is an empowering act of embracing one's sexuality and desires. It serves as a bold statement of confidence, a declaration of self-acceptance, and a rejection of societal norms that seek to suppress or shame identities.
