Meet Joel, aka Pup Timber, enthusiastic Assistant Manager at Eagle Leather and Melbourne's very own Melbourne Rubber Man 2023!

As the first pup to snag this title, Pup Timber is celebrated for his passion for rubber and leather, as well as the unforgettable performance that earned him the title in 2023. Joel wowed the judges with a dazzling act that included live singing, partner dancing, piano accompaniment, all while being flogged intermittently by his partner Pup Peanut.

For the past five years, Joel has been a vibrant presence in the kink and fetish scene, seeing these passions as integral to his identity. His commitment to acceptance, particularly of neurodiversity, has deepened through his personal journey of self-discovery. Joel's experiences have reinforced his belief in the power of openness and the importance of connecting across diverse identities.

Joel’s influence extends well beyond Melbourne. He has proudly represented the rubber community at two Mister International Rubber events in Chicago, showcasing Melbourne's unique culture of inclusivity and warmth on an international stage. When he's not assisting new kinksters or exploring new fetishes, Joel enjoys immersing himself in video games, hitting the gym, and delving into the latest tech trends.

As a dedicated pup, rubberist, and kinkster, Pup Timber is always excited to celebrate and share his love for the kink community. If you're ready to dive into the worlds of rubber, leather, kink, or fetish with a side of fun and acceptance, come say hi to Joel, your friendly neighbourhood rubber pup extraordinaire!
