Our History Club Wearinghers was established as “Club Linger” in March 2014. Club Linger ran for almost 10 years at The Backstreet Bar , in Mile End, London Linger’s inception was from “Mr.M” who was a barman , at The Backstreet, a masculine guy with a love of wearing lingerie. He welcomed the help of myself , sissybloke , who set up a website , mailing list and started to promote the event. On day one , we welcomed about 18 guys to the event. Within just a few months , “Mr.M” moved to Toronto , in Canada, and so was unable to have any more involvement with the club. Another “Mr.M” , the manager of The Backstreet, and his partner , allowed us to carry on meeting there and did some promotion themselves on Fetlife. The majority of the promotion though was still carried out by sissybloke. The entrance fee to Linger started at £5 and rose to £7 over the years. The entrance fee was always retained by The Backstreet Bar , sissybloke never got paid a penny for 10 years of service to Club Linger at The Backstreet. Not that he ever expected to be paid, he did it because he wanted to give something back to his community and the marginalised world of masculine men who have a fetish for lingerie. The Backstreet did very little paid promotion of Linger, hindered mostly by the restriction of The Backstreets owner , John , who , running one of the most famous Rubber/Leather Bars in the World wanted to keep the association of the club, with men who wear lingerie, very low key. So, with very little paid promotion , Club Linger used to attract 14 – 25 patrons most months. In 2022 The Backstreet Bar closed down permanently. Sissybloke , alone , took up the mantle. It took him 6 months to find the “perfect” new venue , in the form of The Bunker Bar , near Old Street Underground Station, in London. In January 2023 Club Linger was re-born as CLUB WEARINGHERS. Opening months at the new wearinghers club attracted about 25 – 35 guys and the entry fee was £10 As the months went on and sissybloke promoted the site on free internet sites , numbers started to grow and now , writing this in January 2025, we regularly get between 50 and 60 guys attending every month. Sissybloke still does not run the club to make big profits , he does it for love , not money and he has ploughed back some of the profits to take out PAID advertising in the national gay press. He also runs “special occasion parties” at Wearinghers , like its annual birthday and Christmas where he offers a free raffle and the winner get free entry to Club Wearinghers for the rest of the year.
The name WEARINGHERS has an interesting history. In the early days of the internet , people sought each other out through bulletin boards and groups. These early sites included IRC , Excite Groups, AOL Groups and Yahoo Groups. (None of these exist any more) These sites/forums are the birthplace of modern alternatives like Facebook and Twitter (X) On the early sites , men would use the keyword “WEARINGHERS” to find groups , discussions and pictures of masculine men in lingerie. Sissybloke himself had 12 groups on excite and yahoo groups ( as each site was limited to just 100 members) and ran them under the pseudonym GUYZINPANTIES. However , in the 1990’s, as those forums closed down, the search term “wearinghers” died out almost completely. In homage to the early pioneers of the internet, those early masculine men with a fetish for lingerie , who were searching each other out, sissybloke decided to use the name WEARINGHERS for the new , re-incarnated Club Linger. Nowadays , we use #wearingers as a hashtag on Twitter (X) etc… Besides Club Linger loosing their home at The Backstreet , another marginalised group of men who have a fetish for lycra/spandex/zentai/nylon encasement lost their “Club Heroes” Event. So in 2024 , sissybloke extended a welcome to these guys to establish themselves inside Club Wearinghers , as there is some cross over of guys in to lingerie, i.e nylon stockings , tights etc.. with guys in to lycra/spandex/zentai/nylon encasement. So Now , Club Wearinghers is a safe , accepting , social and play space for MASCULINE men with a fetish for lingerie , heels, nylons, tights, lycra/spandex/zentai and nylon encasement. We welcome ANY Masculine men , who have these fetishes , regardless of looks , body size , age etc… They can be smooth or hairy , bearded too. Naturally , we welcome masculine men too who do not “dress” themselves , they just enjoy the company and personal services of our fetish guys. We welcome all men too regardless of sexual orientation so straight , bi and gay men are all welcome, regardless of whether they identify as males or non-binary. We welcome trans men too , after all trans men ARE men ! So , that’s our history , so far and YOU YOURSELF can evolve our history , by coming along to our Wearinghers Event. There is never any pressure or expectation to “play” , just come along and socialise in the bar area if you wish. I will end by saying that my only gripe , at the time of writing this , is the almost total lack of recognition by the mainstream gay press . They are still under the misguided impression that men who wear lingerie MUST be “trying to look/act like women”. Ironically , they will support those who identify as transvestites and transgender , yet , if you present them with a MASCULINE man , who happens to have a fetish for lingerie and heels , well , it seems to fuck them up completely. They just don’t grasp it . Do they see it as a threat to their masculinity ? That’s all I can think it must be. Its just ignorance and a kind of “fear”. What I would love to see YOU do is PETITION the likes of Recon , GAY Times , Attitude , Gay London Life , Scruff etc… to do feature articles on Club Wearinghers. They regularly do it for other “fetishists” , guys in to leather , rubber , soccer kit , skinhead gear etc… , yet , despite my own petitioning over several years , they still choose to IGNORE one of the longest running Clubs in London. Go figure! Maybe YOU can help spread the word too by downloading our Event Poster and sharing it on your socials with hashtag #wearinghers ? Hope you have found our history interesting and thank you for your continued support, Sissybloke x
Testimonials On our groups.io forum , a guy posted that he wanted to attend the club , but was too nervous.
Below is what our members replied to him : 1 - i guess the first time is just the fear of the unknown. once in there, wearing and watching is fantastic 2 - I went for the first time, the recent gathering. Yes I was nervous and excited having only been seen by a very few others dressed before. The biggest shock for me was the steps into the club. After that, the jolly host directed me to the changing room bag drop and bar. My nerves were begging to go as I was not alone others who like to dress were there looking relaxed. Once in the changing room others changing were friendly and cheerful. I changed easy bag drop and into the bar. I got myself a drink and started to look around and was shown around by another helpful dressed visitor. Others arrived and it was nice to both I didnt stay to the end but I hope to attend the next event.3 - It was more of a visit to gauge how comfortable I felt in those surroundings. The answer to that was very comfortable and I returned the following month and stayed longer.
4 - it is the fear of the unknown. once in, you
will not want to leave. its a wonderful experience wearing in public and
seeing others. i was at the bar on my first time, stockings and panties. A
guy in similar lingerie said hi and we chatted, he then touched me through
my knickers, gently and asked if that was ok? when i said yes, his hand went
inside and he wanked me gently. It was great, as that was my first time
doing anything with a bloke! i enjoyed putting my hand inside his panties...
again a first. what a great friendly place. i remain inexperienced but want
to try sucking a cock, firstly licking through the nylon then to give it a
real sucking. see what the place has done to me ;-) Reviews at our new venue , "The Bunker Bar"

At our old club , "The Backstreet" Johnny 30/03/2022
I remember the first time at linger,
scared stiff but once through the black door it was all so easy.
Matt 29/03/2022
To all the first timers- April 2022
will only be my third time there but I've always felt welcome and relaxed
when in there.

For the newbies and the curious, I recall some time last year finding club
linger on line and the excitement of such a place. Having waited for the
dreadful lockdown to ease it was time for a visit !
Popping on ones suspender belt and clipping up your stockings while in the
company of others and knowing you have attentive eyes is exhilarating. To then turn around and walk towards the doors, allowing access to the main club, is a moment you may savour with a horny anticipation. Once inside, the bar is close and maybe a base to gather your breath and look around. To be fair everyone looks at you with interest as you look back. The barman Mark is dressed in gorgeous underwear and it seems normal and easy to order a drink and then have a little walk about. On your journey you will see so much ! Be it guys in full dress simply chatting about life . Moving further on into the dark area (that you do not have to visit) you may see something a little more candid and interesting whatever your persuasion is. Neat little dark corners of horny guys in all sorts of positions and postures! Should you wish venture outback to the smoking area and feel the nip in the air and the thrill of being outdoors in lingerie , but not overlooked. All I can say is it is no different than walking in to any bar in London , but with similar people, clearly enjoying the thrill of being in lingerie.
Highly recommended and well worth the trip !
Graeme 15/10/2021 Just got home after a great night got chatting with a couple of guys and Mark all were lovely and friendly. I will be back when I can Matt 15/10/2021 Got in from my first time and I have to say I bloody loved it..I was so nervous going in (not that you could tell by the end- I may have got a bit carried away) but everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming . I'll definitely be back. Rupert 15/10/2021 Just
heading home after my first night at Club Linger. What an awesome evening,
wish I’d discovered this place before and I simply can’t wait until the next
event. I had first time nerves, but felt so welcome from the moment I
arrived.
There was a year between our last visit but this club is awesome...my partner and I slipped into our girly gear and had a great time...towards the end of the evening I took off my panties and my dick was sucked and played with by a horny guy in bra...stockings...panties and heels...hope my man and myself make it back for the March 3rd birthday party.

Bearnylons 07 - 08 - 2014 I had a really great night a lot more people turned up this month and mostly dressers, only two admirers. I nice mix of ages and all very friendly guys. Lots of different attires from just tan tights and trainers to full Basque, stockings, suspenders and heels. Good bar prices very reasonable and pleasant staff both at the bar and in the cloakroom. Totally chilled evening highly recommend it to any cross dressing lingerie guys, or their admirers.

Arrived about 7.30 p.m. Greeted at the
door and shown round the premises. Only about four others ther at this time.
Bought a beer and chatted to one other (in ligerie). Over the next hours
others arrived mostly in bra, tights/stockings, knickers, high heels.
Chatted to a few and then went into play area with one man to watch others.
One very good looking younger man was playing and obviously enjoying
himself. Played with the chap I was with.
