Mr. Fetish NRW
Since its foundation, Rheinfetisch is organising the annual election of the Mr. Fetish NRW title. For the first two years, the title was Mr. Leather–Fetish Cologne. However, Rheinfetisch decided early to be more inclusive of the total fetish community. Our titleholders have won the German Mr. Leather title twice and participated in the contest of the International Mr. Leather in Chicago/USA.
Mr. Fetish NRW 2024 Richard
"I see myself somewhat as a link between young and old: "Fetish knows no bounds" is more than just a slogan for me. Fetish and kink have nothing to do with age! The currently reigning Misters exemplify this in an exemplary way: from Shkody, the youngest at 22, to Uli "Mister Restless," the whole spectrum is represented!
Acceptance, tolerance, and respect are the keywords, also to break down prejudices! Unfortunately, I still often enough experience unpleasant incidents when it comes to my HIV diagnosis. I openly deal with it in my life, as I have been positive since 2006.
Although one might think that our modern society and especially the queer community should be well informed in this respect, unfortunately, there are still unpleasant incidents far too often, whether on the internet on the relevant portals or in real life. From insults, offense, and pity, everything is included! This is really unfortunate – and associated with shame and stigmatization for many affected individuals. I see it as my duty as Mister to contribute to the reduction of these prejudices.
For a whole year, I had the opportunity to accompany Christian, and during this time, I not only met many wonderful people but also perceived the challenges and concerns in our scene.
But what has personally shaped me the most is the strengthening of my self-confidence. Although I am normally rather shy – yes, my friends would surely laugh and claim that I am cheeky – I have learned to open up more and show myself more confidently. Once the ice is broken, I am up for many things and enjoy getting involved fully."
