In this episode, we sit down with Nicholas Tanek, the host of the Your Kinky Friends podcast, creator of YourKinkyFriends.com, and author of the Your Kinky Friends book. Nicholas shares his passion for kink, emphasizing that it's a blend of sex and creativity, and an essential part of his life. He believes that embracing kink often signifies a deep self-awareness, making kinky individuals more insightful and compassionate in their roles as parents, friends, and community members. Nicholas delves into his personal fetishes, including Femdom, forced crossdressing, sissification, and chastity. He explains how crossdressing and sissification challenge toxic masculinity and societal norms. Our conversation covers gender roles, female empowerment, and how Nicholas incorporates kink into his daily life, such as wearing women's undergarments and a cock cage at work. He describes the heightened arousal and pleasure he experiences from worshiping his Femdom partner. We also explore the misconceptions about Femdom, highlighting that true Femdom focuses on the woman's pleasure and the man's selfless service. Nicholas shares insights from his podcast, where he interviews kinky individuals worldwide, including many Dominatrixes, celebrating the courage and privilege of discussing sexual expression openly. Nicholas also shares his motivations for writing Your Kinky Friends which stemmed from a desire to authentically represent the kink community, countering the unsafe portrayals popularized by 50 Shades of Grey. In his podcast, Nicholas wanted to create a safe, open space where people could connect and feel less alone in their kinks. Nicholas reflects on his upbringing as a punk rock kid in New Jersey, where exposure to punk rock girls and movies like Sid & Nancy shaped his understanding of personal expression. His early fascination with sexuality set him apart from his peers, fueling his lifelong journey in the kink community. He also discusses his Switch tendencies, enjoying both Dominant and submissive roles. Nicholas emphasizes that finding compatible partners is about genuine connections, community involvement, and building trust through local kink events and relationships. Nicholas leaves us with a hopeful message: support the kinky individuals in your life, acknowledge their uniqueness, and let them know they are seen and understood.
