I love wearing a leash in public, but the only time I do is at my favorite club. I made my leash as an extension to a birthday gift from a friend, and as I don't want others messing with it, I also put a connector on it so that I can wear it as a bracelet. It's easier than just letting it dangle where other people who don't understand can just grab it and hang on for a while. Unfortunately, the only time I've ever been to said club with my current guy, I couldn't find my collar/leash, so I didn't get to wear it. : ( Oh well.
