WHEN
The ASMF (Association Sportive Motocycliste
de France) founded in 1975 is registered under
the French 1901 charity law. It unites gay men who share the same ‘hard’ /
SM sexuality.
Currently it has more than 100 members who
develop ties of friendship and solidarity in formal
and informal gatherings. Notably we seek to be implicitly
involved in the organisation and co-ordination of the Paris
leather and fetishist scene.
WHY?
We don’t have pretentions of managing
members’ sexuality. We simply want to allow people with common
needs and attractions to meet: but not just for sex.
ECMC
Our association has been
affiliated to the ECMC (European Confederation of Mortorcycle
Clubs),
since 1997. The European-wide confederation has about 50 member-clubs
similar to our own
for SM gays, leather and related fetishists.
THE LGBT WORLD
Like all other LGBT (Lesbian,
Gay, Bi and Transsexual associations) we support the fight
against discrimination and react whenever necessary to defend
rights and freedoms. We are members
of the Paris and Ile de France (Paris Region) LGBT Centre and
the Inter LGBT.
PREVENTION
We are very attached to the fight against
AIDS and the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. The
ASMF is one of the rare French clubs to be a member of the SNEG
(Syndicat National des Entreprises Gays), (The National Union of
Gay Businesses). In this context we are signatory to the Charter
of Responsibility in which we promise to encourage and make
possible safe sex.
SOCIALISING
We regularly organize diners for
members as well as an early evening rendez vous for a drink and
a chat for members and non-members who are interested in our
Association. We also organize other social and cultural outings. |

OUR ACTIVITIES
Our private evenings are open under
certain circumstances to non-members.
We have about two meetings a year:
-A club diner before the meeting on the
Friday evening.
-A cultural outing on the Saturday
afternoon
before the big meeting where several
hundred guys
meet in a specially decorated and
equipped hall in
which we want to incite play!.
There are one or two private evenings a
year
known as ‘nouveaux venus’ during which
we welcome new members.
We also organise week-ends in the
provinces for members and their guests.
To join the ASMF you must fulfill
certain formalities.
