Join Edge as he shares his 30+ years of experience in leather, kink, and BDSM. Each episode centers around a theme, explored through several segments. In the first, Edge shares his leather journey in relation to that theme in order to draw some larger lessons about the leather community. In the second segment, the focus is on practical knowledge and history. Then, we speak with another member of the community who shares their knowledge and experience in relation to the theme. Occasionally, there will also be bonus segments, like erotic story time or kink centered meditation. Come learn more about leather, kink, and BDSM with Edge.
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.

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.

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.

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. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves a good knot, and leave a review telling us your first suit memory.

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.

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.

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.

The long-awaited return of Full Cow kicks off Season 4 by diving into the most popular topic from previous seasons—chastity—but with a revolutionary twist. Host Edge challenges the widespread misconception that chastity belongs exclusively to submissives, arguing instead that it's a powerful tool available to everyone, regardless of where they fall on the dominance spectrum.
Drawing from his extensive personal experience, Edge shares his journey through various chastity devices, from early struggles finding the "perfect" cage to his current appreciation of an exquisitely crafted Steelwerks Extreme device. Rather than focusing solely on the mechanics, he reveals how his relationship with chastity shifted when he began viewing the device as a symbol of commitment rather than just a physical restraint.
The heart of the episode explores specific ways dominants can incorporate chastity into their practice: to better understand submissives' experiences, build anticipation before scenes, create higher stakes within encounters, and foster deeper connections beyond genital pleasure. "If I'm taking my cock off the table," Edge explains, "I am necessarily more focused on the intimacy." This perspective transforms chastity from a limitation into an enhancement of dominance—a way to sharpen focus, intensify desire, and amplify control.
A fascinating new "Makers" segment introduces us to Christopher from Steelwerks Extreme, whose journey from jeweler to chastity device craftsman highlights how these objects transcend mere functionality to become wearable art. The episode concludes with thoughtful relationship advice for a listener navigating complicated feelings for a close friend.

Ever wondered what happens in the space between podcast seasons? That strange limbo where creators seem to disappear? This candid update pulls back the curtain on the very real human struggle behind creative work.
The journey toward Season Four of Full Cow faces several interconnected challenges that many content creators silently battle. There's the daily energy taxation of existing in our current political climate—that feeling of waking up with a full battery only to spend a significant portion just creating enough psychological space to function. Then there's the recent discovery of old trauma living in the body, demanding healing work through acupuncture and somatic practices that, while necessary, consume precious time and resources. Add to this the paradox of needing to block weekends for rest while those same weekends were previously dedicated to podcast production. All these factors compound in a life without the multiplicative energy boost that partnership provides—what I call "a whole extra battery."
Despite these realities, Season Four is taking shape. I'm developing episodes on chastity's intersection with dominance, creating a new "Makers" segment highlighting craftspeople in our community, exploring the Old Guard traditions, and unpacking insights from the newly republished Leatherman's Handbook. The schedule may become more flexible than previous seasons' bi-monthly releases, but the commitment remains unwavering—this work will continue.
Your messages of appreciation and encouragement make all the difference. When creating feels like "sitting in an empty room talking to no one," hearing that this podcast matters to you provides the fuel to keep going. If Full Cow has touched your life in any way, please reach out. Your voice matters precisely because it reminds us why these conversations about leather culture, kink, and authentic connection must continue—especially in challenging times. Stay subscribed, stay patient, and know that your support is helping build Season Four, one small energy reserve at a time.

Interludes are short segments between regular episodes with no editing but WITH leather creaking. It's a chance to hear a little more about what's going on in my life. Here's what my host's AI has to say about this episode:
Feeling overwhelmed by the constant cycle of swiping and messaging on dating apps, I decided it was time for a "man fast" or "mancation."

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. This episode, it's aging. My host's AI has this to say:
Can our kink identities evolve gracefully as we age? This episode takes you through the dynamic and often unexpected journey of aging within the kink community. From the energetic experimentation of our 20s to the significant life changes and career shifts in our 30s, we share personal stories of growth and transformation. The 40s bring their own unique challenges, such as health issues and profound personal losses, but also offer a period of consolidating our kink identities and reflecting on our experiences.
We challenge the notion that chronological age dictates kink roles. Whether you're a young dominant or an older submissive, we explore how individuals can start or adapt their kink journeys at any age. Practical advice on navigating physical changes and maintaining meaningful kink play is provided, along with tips for effective communication about health and biomechanical concerns. This discussion also touches on the common anxieties in gay male kink culture, particularly regarding virility and physical limitations, offering insights to help you adapt and thrive.
The episode underscores the versatility of kink in providing pleasure from any part of the body, making it accessible for everyone. We delve into the concept of the "daddy turn" in gay male communities, where one's identity might shift from boy to daddy as they age. Exploring the balance of tradition and innovation, we discuss the importance of staying open to new technologies and evolving cultural landscapes. We end on a poignant note, emphasizing the value in embracing the aging process and finding new connections and pleasures, and invite you to join our "Ask Edge" segment to foster a sense of community and shared history.

Interludes are short segments between regular episodes with no editing but WITH leather creaking. It's a chance to hear a little more about what's going on in my life. Here's what my host's AI has to say about this episode:
Ever wondered how a simple phrase can transform the dynamics of a relationship?

Through personal reflections and real-life anecdotes, the episode uncovers the layers of meaning and powerful resonance these words carry for both dominants and submissives, enhancing intimacy and trust in their relationships.
But it's not all about kink! Edge also shares his excitement over the latest technology releases, including the iPhone 16 Pro and Apple Watch Ultra 2, and their potential to elevate social media content creation.

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. The topic is Dehners and this is how my podcast host's AI describes it:
Ever wondered why a pair of boots could carry such weight in a community? Tune in to Full Cow as we uncover the profound legacy of the Dehner Boot Company, celebrated for their iconic Dehner Patrol boots. From their cavalry origins to their revered status among motorcycle patrol officers and fetish enthusiasts, these knee-high, leather boots have left an indelible mark.

Join us as we honor the enduring style and spirit that define our culture, proving that even the loss of a beloved brand can't dampen our resilience.
Additionally, we navigate the intricate and often misunderstood practice of breath control and choking within BDSM. Responding to a question from an admirer in Ireland, we clarify the nuanced differences between suffocation, asphyxiation, and choking, each carrying unique erotic energies and specific risks. Emphasizing the utmost importance of safety and awareness, we share personal insights and encourage mindful exploration of these fetishes. This episode offers an engaging and educational discussion aimed at enriching your understanding and participation in the ever-evolving dynamics of the leather and fetish communities.

The hosting AI says this about the episode, which isn't wrong:
Embarking on a quest for the ultimate in security and self-discovery, I've found myself at a crossroads of intricate devices and profound BDSM dynamics. The journey through chastity led me to evolve past the Cobra by Kink3D, seeking out a device that's not only secure but also a testament to the unique path I tread in the kink world. Enter the Orion by Evotion, a custom-fit marvel that promises to hold the key (quite literally) to new levels of emotional intimacy and personal expression. With an eye for detail and comfort, I share the meticulous process of obtaining the perfect fit, the considerations for a base ring that feels just right, and the potential for a shared journey with a future keyholder. This episode isn't just about the 'what' of chastity devices; it's a narrative of the 'why' behind each choice and the 'how' of the deeper connections they foster.
As we navigate the sensual landscapes of leather and technology, I introduce the latest addition to my repertoire – the VacuGlide milking machine. This isn’t just a piece of equipment; it's a portal to explore the balance between control and release, where my hands-off approach to climax redefines the scenes I craft. We'll discuss the device's travel-friendly design, its setup for seamless scene integration, and the profound implications of consent extraction in our play. As the boundary between pleasure and chastity becomes a dance of dualities, join me on a candid exploration of how these elements intertwine, shaping the contours of self and sexuality with every locked moment and every automated pulse.

I bring you tales from the depths of my glove fetish, a passion that's been with me since my early days, sparked by the likes of iconic figures in TV shows like "CHiPs." As we walk through memory lane, I'll reveal the profound impact joining a glove-focused group had on my identity and how the history of brands like Damascus and Tough Gloves hold a special place in our community.
This episode isn't just about reminiscing; it's a guide through the practical side of indulging in this specific kink. As a self-confessed glove aficionado, I lay out the nuances of glove maintenance, the significance of the gifting ritual, and the power gloves hold in enhancing intimate connections. Beyond maintaining our precious glove collections, we'll discuss how donning that perfect pair of black leather gloves serves as a potent form of self-expression and a nod to our shared fetish interests.
As we wrap up our tactile exploration, I turn introspective, considering the future of this podcast. I share the gratitude and connection I've felt with you, the listeners, who've turned this platform into something more than just a series of episodes.
