Welcome to the Recon Podcast. In today’s episode, we are going to talk about how 2 distinctly different worlds come together. We’re going to talk about ‘Where Fetish Meets Queer.’ I think we all have a good grasp of just what fetish is, but the burning question is what exactly is queer and how might bring queer influence your fetish/kink life? Do these two worlds collide? Do they merge? Or do they merely co-exist?
