About GearUp

GearUp is a San Francisco Bay Area-based group of gay male kinksters and fetish enthusiasts centered around our annual retreat, GearUp Weekend. The retreat, at Saratoga Springs Retreat Center in northern California, is where kinky and kink-curious queer, gay, bi, and trans men of all ages (21+) and backgrounds can socialize with, learn from, and play with other men in a safe and friendly environment. We also host events and play parties in San Francisco throughout the year.

Our goal is to provide education and community in the San Francisco Bay Area that welcomes all men, including male-identified trans men, of all levels of experience.

At GearUp Weekend you’ll find guys into all kinds of gear (such as leather, rubber, sports gear, uniforms, spandex, underwear) and all kinds of kinky activities like domination and submission, fisting, pup play, watersports, chastity, roleplay, and more.
