Julian Wolf's appearance on the New Mexico Fetlifers Google Community Calendar contains 19 matching records representing 18 distinct events from March 2010 through August 2014. Two records are separate time entries for the two performances of The Seven Deadly Sins on the same evening.  These items are from that calendar data:

​

Julian Wolf appeared regularly as an educator in New Mexico’s Leather and kink communities between 2010 and 2014. The earliest identified calendar appearance was New Be, a March 2010 introductory event jointly presented by the New Mexico Leather League and The Next Generation. Julian was one of six experienced community members scheduled to introduce newcomers to meeting people, dungeon etiquette, spanking, bondage, flogging, and other fundamentals. In July 2010, Julian presented BDSM 101: Experimentation Is the Spice of Life at Self Serve in Albuquerque. Its biographical notice stated that Julian had entered the kink community around the turn of the century, taught around the country, served on the Kink Academy faculty, wrote the sex-positive advice column Carnal Conundrums for Saucy Southwest, and was active as a performer and master of ceremonies.

​

The calendar documents the breadth of Julian’s educational work. Julian taught at NM:TNG’s Bondage Intensive in March 2011, presented another introductory class for Santa Fe Tantric Arts in April, taught Intro to Wax Play at Self Serve in August, and presented With Hedonistic Intention at an Alternate Erotic Lifestyles Power Munch in November. The latter workshop applied intentional awareness of the five senses to everyday activities, relationships, and scenes. In January 2012, Julian presented another participatory BDSM 101 class at Santa Fe’s House of Rapture. At Spring Pandemonium 2013, Julian taught Fit To Be Tied as part of a program that also included Leather history, consent, flogging, bootblacking, and erotic dance.

​

The January 2012 House of Rapture announcement preserves an unusually detailed contemporary biography. It identifies Julian as a Kink Academy faculty member, Saucy Southwest advice columnist, Fearless Press writer, charter member of the New Mexico Leather League, and board member of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom. It states that Julian had taught for organizations including Desert Dominion, Adventures in Sexuality, Good Vibrations, the Southwest Earth Festival Association, smOdyssey, Arizona Power Exchange, Central New Mexico Community College, and Dark Odyssey. The announcement also credits Julian with both Rio Grande Leather and New Mexico Pride titles and describes Julian as an educator, emcee, performance artist, and event organizer.  (New Mexico FetLifers Community Calendar, “BDSM101,” House of Rapture, January 28, 2012)

​

Julian also helped connect New Mexico organizations with national sexual-freedom advocacy. When the New Mexico Leather League hosted Judy Guerin, director of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom’s Consent Counts project, at the Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice on May 7, 2011, participants were directed to RSVP through Julian’s NCSF email address. The program addressed BDSM, consent law, and efforts to decriminalize consensual BDSM. Julian had an operational role in bringing national advocacy and legal-education work to Albuquerque.

​

Beginning in 2012, the calendar also documents Julian’s crossover into Albuquerque’s fetish, Goth, burlesque, and nightlife environments under the performance name Jack D. Nimble. A September 2012 Sanctuary Above the Crypt announcement lists Jack D. Nimble as a bondage performer. Jack hosted the Black Widow Cabal’s The Seven Deadly Sins burlesque production in January 2013, co-led an all-night exhibition of phobias with Arcane at Triskaidekaphobia later that month, and appeared as the “carnival barker” for Thee Sanctuary Productions’ Freakshow in May. (New Mexico FetLifers Community Calendar, “Sanctuary Above the Crypt,” September 29, 2012; “The Seven Deadly Sins,” January 11, 2013; “Triskaidekaphobia,” January 26, 2013; “Freakshow,” May 3, 2013)

​

Julian’s calendar appearances also included charitable and community-service events. On April 24, 2011, Julian performed at the Albuquerque Leather Daddys’ Warriors, Gladiators & Daddys Charity Event at EFFEX Nightclub, which raised funds for the New Mexico Gay/Straight Alliance. Julian’s With Hedonistic Intention presentation occurred during AEL’s annual Whip Hunger Food Drive, which collected nonperishable food for a local food bank. These records complement the promotional biographies’ repeated description of education and service as central parts of Julian’s community work. (New Mexico FetLifers Community Calendar, “Warriors, Gladiators & Daddys Charity Event,” April 24, 2011; “AEL Power Munch & Whip Hunger Food Drive,” November 28, 2011)

​

The final calendar appearances currently identified are two paired course series presented at Abitha’s Apothecary in June and August 2014. Leather Witch examined the relationship among magic, sacred sexuality, BDSM, service, and Leather spirituality. S&M: Spirit and Meaning explored how intentionality and intense sensation could produce spiritual or transformative experiences. These courses document a distinctive part of Julian’s teaching: treating Leather and BDSM not merely as sexual practices but as potential spiritual paths.
