    IML Day 2: Everyone gets naked and gets to know each other better. Plus: Contestant previews.

    IML Day 2: Everyone gets naked and gets to know each other better. Plus: Contestant previews.

    The leather men and women are all worked up by day 2 of the events. The good news is that IML is one of the most comprehensive leather, fetish, and kink conferences in the world. And it should be; it has been going on for 40 years.

    So folks worked off all that pent up sexual energy at a variety of workshops, socials, and even some leather in recovery meetings. Pictures here are from the Onyx Dance: Climax, at the Bottom Lounge, and the big stage show -- the IML Pecs and Personality Contest, where contestants are judged on their appearance and stage presence. You can see the wide variety of activities on the events schedule.

    After that, one can only imagine what went on in the hotel rooms of Chicago.

    Thanks to Matt Baume for getting it all.
