Hank Social
2026/10/02
Send us Fan Mail A new kink platform is trying to do something most apps avoid: build real community without turning it into a swipe-driven meat market. We talk with Ido and Eido (the EI-dos), co-founders of Hank Social, about why they built a dedicated leather, kink, and BDSM social network for gay fetish men and how they are designing it to feel safer, more human, and more useful than the usual options. We get into the real problems Hank is trying to solve: beginners who want mentorship but do not know where to start, organizers who are tired of juggling five different platforms to run one event, and members who want privacy-first tools that respect adult sexuality. The guys break down Hank’s community features, nearby discovery, messaging, and event management, plus the long-term vision for the Kink Academy as a searchable education hub that can bring in nonprofit kink education organizations and preserve knowledge in one place. We also talk candidly about the friction adult platforms face with Apple and Google, why “vanillaing” apps erases kink culture, and how Hank is navigating those constraints while keeping the product community-led through rapid feedback and iteration. If you have been looking for a leather kink community online that supports learning, discussion, and connection with less pressure, this conversation is a strong starting point.

LARP!
2026/09/04
Send us Fan Mail A leather bar reopens, the music is loud, the basement dungeon is calling, and everyone is carrying a name they can’t say out loud anymore. That’s the emotional engine behind “Cruising For Sex In A Burning Building,” the live action role-playing game Jon and Moss designed to explore leather bar culture at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis. We talk about why LARP is more than costumes and foam swords, and how immersive storytelling can become a powerful tool for queer history, community memory, and honest conversations about risk. Jon and Moss walk me through the game’s premise, the research behind it, and the design choice that makes it both intense and playable: adapted Ars Amandi style mechanics that translate kink and cruising into minimal but meaningful touch. We get specific about what can be represented well in a short run time, why they avoid gamifying HIV transmission, and how teaching techniques player to player turns “transmission” into a theme about knowledge, care, and legacy. We also dig into how physical space shapes immersion, from a plain room with dim lights to a real dungeon setup with unexpected historic artifacts. Then Ask Edge gets practical. I answer listener questions about shifting from sub to Dom headspace, affording leather events when hotels and travel are brutal, and what to do when your leather persona feels stuck in the garage. If you care about BDSM consent culture, leather history, LARP design, or the way queer communities keep finding joy under pressure, this one will stay with you.

Gaining
2026/08/07
Send us Fan Mail Wanting a bigger body is one of the most misunderstood desires in kink and the confusion usually starts with the vocabulary. I’m joined by James, a gainer and the voice behind the Thicc Radio podcast, to lay out what gaining and feedism actually mean, how people use terms like gainer, feeder, encourager, and admirer, and why these dynamics can be deeply intimate even when they have nothing to do with dominance and submission. We also get honest about the parts people love to moralize: fatphobia, “health” as a dog-whistle, and the pressure gay culture puts on bodies through status, aesthetics, and belonging. James shares what it looks like to pursue size while still caring for your body, from boundaries and mobility to nutrition and hygiene, plus how GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are reshaping the wider conversation around bears, body acceptance, and who feels “allowed” to stay big. Along the way, we talk kink overlap with macrophilia and other size fantasies, how to find the gainer community without guessing or projecting onto strangers, and why James started a podcast to push back on clickbait media narratives. Then we shift into Ask Edge for a listener question about stepping into the Daddy role for the first time, with practical guidance on communication, leading by example, and supporting someone’s growth without running their life.

Pillion
2026/07/03
Send us Fan Mail WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE AND SOME BRIEF DISCUSSION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.  Pillion looks like a breakthrough for leather and BDSM visibility, then it dares you to ask an uncomfortable question: are we watching dominance and submission, or are we watching abuse filmed like romance? I walk through my reaction in real time, because I went in expecting a love letter to kink community and walked out increasingly horrified by what’s missing on screen: consent, negotiation, aftercare, affection, and anything that signals ethical power exchange.  We also talk about why the response is so divided. If you already know what healthy DS dynamics look like, you may be able to enjoy the film as fantasy and keep it safely in the realm of fiction. If you’re newer to leather, younger, or searching for a model of how kink “should” work, the same scenes can land as dangerous misinformation. Along the way I put the film next to earlier examples of queer representation that carried both erotic charge and harmful messaging, and I name the political stakes of seeing leather in public while parts of queer culture argue about erasing it from Pride.  Then we shift to Ask Edge: a listener shares a breakup rooted in a partner rejecting his interest in leather. I talk about the difference between “not my thing” and shame, the red flags that matter, and the real-world paths people take in erotically mismatched relationships, including polyamory, openness, and hard limits. If any of this hits close to home, subscribe, share the episode with someone who cares about consent culture, and leave a review. What did Pillion bring up for you? Support the show Ask Edge!

Finding Your Leather Tribe
2026/06/05
Send us Fan Mail Leather can feel like a closed circle until someone hands you a map and reminds you that there’s more than one way to belong. We sit down with Graham Clark, an Australian leatherman who identifies as a daddy, to talk about his book Finding Your Leather Tribe and the real problem it solves: not just learning “how leather works,” but finding people who make your desires feel legible, welcome, and safe.  We dig into the idea of a second coming out, first as gay, then as leather or BDSM, and why that process can still be emotional even with endless information online. Graham shares how he collected coming out stories from leathermen around the world, what he looked for, and what made some stories too painful to revisit. We also talk about why international leather culture matters, where representation is growing, and where political reality and language barriers still make visibility harder.  Then we shift to the practical side: consent and negotiation as baseline skills, plus the nuts and bolts of building a living resource guide with bars, clubs, social groups, retailers, events, and apps. Graham explains how the website expands beyond the book and why community submissions are essential to keeping it accurate and truly global.  To close, Ask Edge tackles a challenging question about feederism and a weight gain fetish: how to work through shame, apply risk-aware consensual kink, protect health, and cope with a society that judges bodies harshly when a fetish is visible every day. If you’ve ever wondered how community changes what you can accept about yourself, this conversation goes there.  Subscribe for more kink and leather education, share this with a friend who’s searching for their people, and leave a review so others can find the show.

Graysexuality
2026/05/01
Send us Fan Mail Genital sex is treated like the center of gay culture, so what happens when your desire does not follow that script. We sit down with Jamie, Mr. Leather Europe, to talk about graysexuality, the asexual spectrum, and the quiet shame that can creep in when you do not respond the way you think you’re “supposed” to. If you’ve ever wondered why porn, dark rooms, or explicit group chat talk does nothing for you, you’re not alone and you’re not broken. We get practical about relationships and play: how to tell a partner you can take sex or leave it, how to negotiate scenes without defaulting to orgasm as the finish line, and why BDSM can be a powerful doorway into intimacy. Jamie shares what changes when kink becomes the engine, from power exchange and spanking to chastity as a pressure release valve. We also dig into performance anxiety, the weird high stakes of travel hookups, and why meeting in person can reveal chemistry that no profile can predict. Then we zoom out to community life. Jamie talks about his leather title journey, what it’s like to represent as a European title holder, and the real-world decision to attend International Mr. Leather while acknowledging US travel fears for many people, especially trans folks, immigrants, and people of color. We close with a hopeful look at kink visibility in Ireland, including speaking about consent and kink on national TV, and the reminder that your body is worth listening to.

Deeper
2026/04/05
Send us Fan Mail The internet loves a clean arc: rock bottom, redemption, triumphant ending. Ryan “Hunger FF” James is not interested in that. We sit down to talk about Deeper, his anti-memoir that flips the usual memoir structure and tells the story from inside the mess, where addiction, desire, ambition, and identity collide in real time. If you’ve ever wondered what content creation does to a person over years of being watched, rated, and rewarded, this conversation pulls the curtain back.  Ryan shares how Deeper began as therapeutic writing with Pineapple Support and grew into a book built from sharp vignettes, brutal honesty, and dark humor. We get into harm reduction recovery and why the “middle” matters for people who don’t fit the black-and-white story of total sobriety versus total collapse. We also talk about the algorithm as an invisible monster that demands constant feeding, turning a persona into a job, a coping strategy, and sometimes a cage.  There’s physical reality here too: Ryan describes a freak accident that led to emergency surgery and living with a stoma, then what it took mentally to keep going when his biggest fear became real. We also pivot back to kink with practical fisting advice for beginners and younger “COVID fisting” newcomers: slow down, find experienced partners, use more lube than you think, and take aftercare seriously. After the interview, Ask Edge tackles leather mentorship boundaries and practical contest prep for aspiring titleholders.  If Deeper, harm reduction, BDSM podcast conversations, sex worker mental health, and creator burnout are on your radar, hit play.

IML
2026/02/28
Send us Fan Mail What if the secret to IML isn’t the perfect body or the flashiest gear, but ruthless intention and a calm breath before every answer? International Mr. Leather 2025, René Hébert, joins us for a rare, no-spin walkthrough of what it really takes to prepare, compete, and live the title year without losing yourself. From his first sash as Western Canada Leatherboy to Mr. Palm Springs Leather and the big stage in Chicago, René charts the skills that actually move the needle: community ties, stage comfort built in the Imperial Court, and a plan for every outcome. We dig into the parts most folks only whisper about. Gear strategy starts with identity, not shopping lists; your bio must be defensible; and eight-minute interviews reward succinct, memorable answers over monologues. René explains how researching judges sharpens your read of vague questions, why the physique segment is more about vulnerability than abs, and how to design a 90-second speech with a clean arc and a hard-hitting closer. He also opens the back door on the title year: a dedicated inbox to tame hundreds of DMs, the real costs hidden in meals and rideshares, and the boundary work it takes to keep the sash from swallowing your life. There’s more. We talk rule changes and the one-shot-only debate, forging a title year that reflects your values instead of copying past winners, and why immigration, trans rights, and current controversies will be on the table when judges meet you. René shares the shock of a forced move to Montreal, the strain of long-distance love, and the small daily practices that make resilience real. We close with practical advice for contestants and a listener Ask Edge on balancing kink with everyday life and building real friendships. If you care about Leather, Kink, IML prep, interview strategy, speechwriting, boot black culture, or sustainable leadership, this conversation is your blueprint. Subscribe, share with your title class, and leave a review telling us the one tip you’ll use first.

International Leather
2026/02/08
Send us Fan Mail Stepping into Spain with a suitcase full of black leather and a head full of questions, we set out to test whether “international leather” is a real thing or a hopeful myth. From Madrid’s meetups to ILBS Sevilla’s tenth anniversary, through Torremolinos’ Eagle nights and Barcelona’s Boxer Café, we map how a shared aesthetic travels while each city protects its own pulse. The takeaway surprised us: gear is a language that crosses borders, but community lives in calendars, group chats, and carefully marked spaces for social connection versus cruising. We unpack what happens when there’s no dedicated leather bar, how WhatsApp threads become glue, and why timing your trip around socials beats pinning your hopes on a single venue. You’ll hear how a plaza of 150 folks in full gear can erase language barriers, and why kindness at European events felt different from the quiet competitiveness we often bring to U.S. rooms. We talk practicality too—planning travel around local fetish nights, finding hosts through social platforms, and using familiar signals like boots, hankies, and uniforms to be legible without saying a word. The journey closes on a raw note: navigating political dread and creative fatigue while choosing to keep making space for each other. We don’t pretend to have a script for hard times, but we do argue for small, sturdy practices—showing up, reaching out, and letting friendliness be infrastructure. If you’re plotting your next leather trip, looking for community in your own backyard, or just need a reminder that the language of gear still speaks loudly, this story-driven episode offers both a map and a nudge. If this resonated, tap follow, share it with a friend who travels in gear, and leave a review with your city’s best leather social—we’ll shout out recommendations on a future show.

Review, Revisit, Revise, Renew
2026/01/02
Send us Fan Mail Resolutions fade. Rituals stick. We open the year by treating leather not as a fixed identity but as a living practice you can revisit, review, and revise on purpose. From evolving fetishes to smarter gear choices to relationship honesty, this episode lays out a clean framework for refreshing your kink life without the pressure of perfection or performative goals. We start with a transparent year-in-review: audience growth, surprising geography, and the topics you replayed the most. Then we pivot into the heart of the show—how desire actually changes over time. I share why bondage shifted from being the entire scene to becoming a restraint tool, how cigar play moved from center stage to personal ritual, and why a simple, scheduled review can help you drop what no longer feeds you while reaching for what does. You’ll hear practical ways to audit your gear closet, gift what you don’t wear, and choose a long-term “next piece” that aligns with your evolving play. The Ask Edge segment digs into real-world complexity. We validate submissive tops and dominant bottoms, separate D/s dynamics from sexual position, and explore how to educate a supportive but unsure partner with clear resources and honest conversation. We also talk about work-life boundaries for kinky professionals, why leather jock straps often fail on stage, and what actually matters in a dungeon. Spoiler: a sacred signal beats an expensive toy every time—think red lights, scent, music, and closing rituals that bring everyone back to earth. If your leather life feels stuck or scattered, this conversation will help you build momentum with clarity, compassion, and control. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review with one thing you’re revising this year—we’ll feature our favorites on a future show. Support the show Ask Edge!

Protocol Revisited
2025/12/05
Send us Fan Mail Ever wish someone handed you the map for approaching people in leather spaces without stepping on landmines? We unpack protocol as a living language—one that helps us communicate identity, negotiate consent, and feel like we belong—whether you’re navigating a bar, a dungeon, or a crowded inbox. We start by reframing protocol from “rules for subs” to a shared system that binds everyone. Then we get practical: how to build pre-approach awareness, read the room, and use simple first contact—introductions and a handshake—to set a respectful tone. You’ll hear why theatrical submission backfires, how to extend honorifics “on credit” and assess whether they’re earned, and the safest way to approach collared folks, couples, or triads when you don’t know their internal dynamic. We also translate those same principles into digital life. Thoughtful DMs beat “hey,” explicit photos without consent are out, and profile-reading is basic respect. On the community side, we cover play space etiquette—observing scenes, protecting space around implements, no unsolicited touch or photos—and why dungeon monitors are non-negotiable. We touch on event microcustoms, the tension between bar chatter and contest speeches, and how inclusivity and neurodiversity call for clearer signals and gentler corrections. Along the way, we share a story about the “never touch someone’s cover” custom and why small protocols can reveal who’s truly in community. By the end, you’ll have concrete steps that turn awkwardness into invitation, and a template for creating your own personal protocol that signals values, boundaries, and openness. If this helped, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s finding their on-ramp, and leave a review to tell us the one protocol you think more people should learn. Support the show Ask Edge!

Suits
2025/11/07
Send us Fan Mail A suit can announce power to the room and whisper surrender to the one person who knows how to read it. We sit down with Doctor Tom, a self-described Sir and suit fetishist, to unpack how tailoring, uniform codes, and ritual details transform wool and silk into tools for desire. From Bond’s tux getting ripped to the scent of warm leather dress shoes, we trace the sensory and psychological threads that make suits a stealth fetish—hyper-visible to everyone, invisible to most. We map the terrain where menswear meets military lineage: structured shoulders, tall collars, and the ceremonial logic that mirrors leather protocols. Doctor Tom shares practical starting points—why thrifting post-COVID is gold, how to spot quality construction, and why a good tailor is your best accomplice. We explore community “tells” like sheer dress socks and double Windsors, Instagram codes, and Recon tags, plus why excess is a signal and restraint often reads vanilla. Along the way we tackle elitism, access, and red flags, and we highlight a crucial reminder: suit fetish is gender inclusive, and gender-affirming tailors exist. We also cross the aisle into leather—formal looks rebuilt in hide, the satisfaction of hierarchy, and the pleasure of rules you know well enough to break once, on purpose. In Ask Edge, we address accepting masochism, the need for mutual enjoyment in DS play, and resources for emotional fluency. Then we turn to kink on screen, calling out what lands and what misfires, and why some sacred spaces might be better served by community-made stories. If suits have ever made your pulse quicken—or you want to build a look that doubles as a scene—this conversation gives you history, tactics, and permission to play.

The Leatherman's Handbook
2025/10/03
Send us Fan Mail Imagine discovering a time capsule that reveals the birth of leather culture—the codes, practices, and fierce spirit of resistance that shaped our community. Larry Townsend's Leatherman's Handbook, originally published in 1972, was exactly that: a revolutionary document that dared to say "your desires are valid" when society labeled kinky people as mentally ill. When Edge first discovered this book as a young leather person in the late 1980s, it was nothing short of "a lightning bolt of revelation." Now, after decades of being virtually unobtainable (unless you were willing to pay $400 for a used copy), this foundational text has been reprinted, allowing a new generation to connect with leather's origins. The available edition combines both the original 1972 text and Townsend's 1997 Silver Jubilee commentary, offering a fascinating dual perspective—showing leather culture at its emergence and then through the devastating impact of the AIDS crisis. What makes this historical document so surprisingly relevant today is its portrayal of leather's political roots. The central figure wasn't the leather uniform cop but the outlaw biker—a symbol of defiance against constant police harassment and criminalization. This episode explores what parts of Townsend's vision remain valuable today: the accessibility of leather identity (requiring minimal gear investment), the importance of community protection and solidarity, and the understanding that leather practices have always varied by region rather than following rigid "Old Guard" protocols. Edge doesn't shy away from acknowledging the dated elements—the rigid roles, exclusionary focus on cis gay men, and terminology now considered offensive—while highlighting how our community has evolved beyond these limitations. Whether you're a leather history buff or simply curious about the foundations of kink culture, this episode offers both historical context and thought-provoking questions about what parts of our heritage deserve reclaiming. The Leatherman's Handbook wasn't just a sex manual—it was the blueprint for a community of resistance and mutual support that continues to inspire us today. Support the show Ask Edge!

Old Guard
2025/09/05
Send us Fan Mail What exactly is the "Old Guard" in leather culture? It's a question that sparks heated debates, reverent whispers, and sometimes bitter divisions within our community. This episode cuts through the mythology to reveal surprising truths about leather history and traditions. Dr. Ty, clinical sexologist and leather title holder, joins Edge to share groundbreaking research from his dissertation defining the Old Guard. Rather than simply referring to the original leathermen of the 1950s, the term has evolved to describe a style of play centered on "obedience, structure and protocol." Most surprisingly, Dr. Ty's research reveals there was never a singular "way" of Old Guard practice—different cities developed different traditions long before national leather organizations formed. The conversation challenges common assumptions about mentorship in leather communities. Despite the perception that Old Guard practitioners had formal mentoring structures, Dr. Ty's research found no statistical difference between how Old Guard and New Guard approached mentoring. This finding has inspired his work developing a more accessible mentoring program, addressing a critical gap for newcomers seeking guidance. We also explore the often-conflated relationship between leather and kink identities, title holding traditions, and practical resources for those seeking knowledge. Dr. Ty shares details about his Kinky Book Club, which provides a non-sexual space for exploring leather history through literature and other media. The episode concludes with an all-Texas edition of Ask Edge, featuring questions about advice for younger selves and the challenges of properly vetting title holders in today's community. Whether you're a leather veteran or just curious about these traditions, this conversation offers fresh perspectives on how we understand our shared history and build a more inclusive future.

Gags
2025/08/01
Send us Fan Mail The whispered allure of "bound and gagged" has been etched into our cultural consciousness, but what makes gags such a powerful element in power exchange? In this deep dive into the world of gag play, Edge explores the intricate psychology, diverse varieties, and crucial safety aspects that every kinkster should understand. Gags create an unparalleled psychological impact by removing one's ability to speak—transforming a person through objectification and control. Beyond just silencing, they serve to dehumanize in the most erotic way, shifting headspace and reinforcing power dynamics with remarkable efficiency. Yet contrary to what many assume, the purpose isn't silence at all. The muffled moans and desperate sounds that emerge around a properly placed gag create an auditory landscape that heightens arousal for everyone involved. From traditional ball gags and equestrian-inspired bit gags to impromptu solutions like bandanas and clothing, the world of gags offers endless possibilities to explore. Edge covers luxury options like Silencilicone alongside DIY alternatives, explaining how different materials create distinct sensations and psychological effects. The discussion doesn't shy away from practical concerns—exploring the four primary safety considerations (vomiting, breathing, saliva management, and muscle soreness) while offering concrete strategies to minimize risk through positioning and communication. Whether you're a seasoned player or curious newcomer, this comprehensive guide provides both technical knowledge and psychological insight. Edge's personal journey with gags adds nuanced perspective, revealing how preferences evolve and acknowledging that while gags occupy an iconic place in BDSM imagery, they remain entirely optional. Discover how this seemingly simple tool creates profound experiences of submission, control, and sensory delight when wielded with knowledge and care. Support the show Ask Edge!
