In this episode, Master Xtac — a leatherman, educator, and 24/7 practitioner — opens up about his journey through power exchange, love, and leadership within BDSM.

We discuss:

  • His 12-part teaching series on power exchange and mastery.

  • Nietzsche’s idea of chaos and creativity in BDSM scenes

  • BDSM as sexual orientation vs. serious leisure.

  • How a Master proposes marriage to a slave.

  • His advice for young Dominants and the legacy of leather culture.
