I'm Edge, your navigator through this landscape of learning and connection, where the ties that bind us go beyond the physical. In this season's premiere, we sit alongside Richard and Lyle from San Francisco's Leather Men's Discussion Group's Mentoring Program, unraveling the intricate weave of guidance that shapes future leaders and enthusiasts in kink.Embarking on a nine-month odyssey of transformation, our guests reveal how mentorship transcends simple instruction, evolving into a life-altering exchange. My own tales echo alongside, from the pivotal moments under the tutelage of my earliest leather mentors to the profound satisfaction found in fostering the next generation. Together, we dissect the delicate dance of empowering mentees without overshadowing their individual journeys, sharing how the alchemy of group dynamics and in-person connections reinforce the bonds of our community.As we forge ahead, the conversation takes a turn through the shadowed corners of mentorship: the safeguarding of boundaries, the vigilant distinction from therapy, and the ethical navigation of sexual dynamics within the learning sphere. These are the threads that, when carefully woven, craft a tapestry of trust and respect. And as we close, I'll offer a glimpse into the role of community events, the art of negotiation within BDSM relationships, and the personal touch of my upcoming leather-bound travels. This is more than a mere exchange of knowledge; it's a testament to the resilience and intimacy of our leather family.Here are some useful links from the episode:San Francisco Leathermen's Discussion GroupLDG Mentoring ProgramLeather Mentorship -- This book is a great resource and I hope to interview J.

Send us a textWelcome to Full Cow, a podcast about leather and kink where your host, Edge (he/him), shares his 30+ years of experience in the community. This time: protocol.Protocol, as I discovered, is the cornerstone of my playroom dynamics with my selected boys, lending a sense of protection and establishing an unspoken language of submission. Listen closely as we embark on this fascinating journey, unveiling the challenges, victories and the sheer exhilarating thrill of the game.In a world where dominance and submission are the names of the game, protocol acts as the invisible thread that binds the partners together. The behavioral and linguistic elements of protocol, be it terms of address or body positioning, are all laced with an underlying potency that cannot be denied. However, like everything else in life, these protocols are not etched in stone. The ability to revisit and revise them ensures they are effective and meaningful for both parties involved. It's time to tune in and immerse yourself in this raw, insightful journey into the world of BDSM, the power dynamics that define it, and the all-encompassing thrill it offers.And then we end with Erotic Story Time, as Edge reads "Rubber Pig." A sneak peek into an encounter with a mysterious man in a unique rubber suit promises to leave you on the edge of your seats. With a heart full of curiosity, adventure, and a dash of trepidation, I plunged into the world of rubber bondage. The rubber catsuit, the bittersweet sensations of restraint, and the surprising enhancements of a retentive enema nozzle and a catheter, all add up to a riveting tale of exploration and discovery. Strap in as we navigate through the pulsating world of sensory deprivation, the power play, and the undeniable thrill it procures.Support the showAsk Edge!
