What does Mastery really mean? 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.
