Folsom Street Fair in Sodom and Gomorrah

Folks in leather, chaps and thongs throng Folsom Street Fair: “Payton and others bedecked in leather - or in many cases, nothing at all - were the stars of Sunday’s 24th annual Folsom Street Fair. The San Francisco rite is a celebration of leather culture and sexual fetishism, and draws not only those who enjoy the lifestyle, but also those who enjoy gawking at them. ‘This is like Disneyland - you’ll never see anything like this in the world,’ said Jaeleen Bennis”

People paid money to be flogged in front of crowds of onlookers. One man looked like he was crying, and red lash marks covered his back.
“Lovely start to a Sunday afternoon!” exclaimed a man with a microphone trying to persuade people to get flogged.

“This is what San Francisco’s about - being crazy and expressing yourself,” he said. “Where else could you do this?”

Since you asked, in Sodom and Gomorrah just before God destroyed the city.
