Welcome to Full Cow, a podcast about leather and kink where your host, Edge (he/him), shares his 30+ years of experience in the community. In this episode we consider one of the most iconic pairings, one that sits mythologically at the center of the leather / kink imaginary: Master and slave. We start with Edge's experience with this particular kink identity, thinking about how kink identities, in general, can shift and change and evolve. Then during our Q&A we think about how to wear leather and still look submissive as well as how the greater inclusion of trans and genderqueer peoples has impacted the community. Finally, we have a conversation with Phil, author of Light and Shadow: The Psychology of Master/slave Relationships, and a former guest on the submission episode. Some links: = To purchase the book.
