Curious about the role of a switch in kink & BDSM? Some say switches are really just confused doms or subs that haven't figured out their true identity yet.

Some of the topics we cover:
Switching styles & traits

Switch erasure

Challenges cis men face embracing their switchy side

Overcoming switch imposter syndrome & more
