You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast at Savage. Love.

If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

well, there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.

There's a fetish shop in Berlin.

I mean, of course there is.

There are lots.

At least a half a dozen I can think of off the top of my head.

Blackstyle, Mr. Bee, Boucherai Lindinger, Sling King, Connection Shop, and Gear Berlin. If you've been to a leather fetish event

that more than 10 gay men showed up at, you've probably seen at least five Gear Berlin T-shirts.

They are iconic. You see them all over the place at big kink events. You see them all over

online profiles too. You know how I'm always saying gay men are better at sex

because we communicate. We communicate because we have to because gay men can't just default to

P-I-D sex. And once you start communicating with your sex partners about the sex you're going to

have, once someone's asked you what you're into the first time, it gets easier and easier to communicate.

You keep communicating. You keep telling people what you're into. Gears iconic and ubiquitous

t-shirts and the way gay men have embraced them. Really good example of how gay people

really embrace, also embrace communication about who they are, about what they want.

So a gear t-shirt, if you've never seen one. It says gear on it, of course, but there's another

word on each of their t-shirts in large, bold white letters across the chest with an arrow

pointing up at the face of the guy wearing that t-shirt.

And they come with lots of different words on them.

Sub, Dom, slut, bondage, biker, fister, fistic, master, slave, owned, alpha, sadist, daddy, puppy.
