Their conversation explores the allure of sports gear, the personal journeys that led them to embrace it, and the nuanced relationship between kink, self-expression, and the LGBTQ+ community.
Getting into Gear:
Zac reveals that his fascination with gear began in his youth, shaped by his experiences in high school sports.

He reflects on the sense of community and camaraderie that came with being around teammates and the appeal of jock culture, describing how gear became an extension of his identity.

They discuss how sports gear offers an unconventional way for men to express their kinks while navigating society’s often rigid views on masculinity.
Gear Collections and Managing “Storage Problems”:
The duo shares humorous anecdotes about their growing collections. While Zac admits to needing a storage system for various pieces like jockstraps, socks, and jerseys, Tim finds a unique satisfaction in shopping for items that blur the line between sportswear and fetish wear.
Finding Authentic Connection in the Kink Community:
They highlight the importance of friendship and shared interests within the kink world, stressing that it’s not always about sex. For Zac, the best part of being active in this community is finding friends who respect boundaries and understand the complexities of kink.
Creating Content and Building a Niche:
The episode concludes with Zac sharing how he and his partner Austin turned their passion for sports gear into a successful content venture.
