Edge is an author, artist, mentor, teacher, and hard core player from Florida with 20 years of experience in the scene. His erotic stories have appeared in print in International Leatherman and Prometheus, online at Roped Web and All American Kink, and have been anthologized in the collections Tough Guys, Roughed Up, and Rough Stuff; he's also written columns for GMSMA's Newslink and All American Kink. He has given presentations for GMSMA, Leatherfest, TES, TNG3, Black Rose, TES's Queer SIG, TES Fest, Leather Retreat, Thunder in the Mountains, South Plains Leatherfest, International Ms. Leather, Beyond Leather, and the Southeast Erotic Cultural Conference, but he is perhaps best known for his former website, http://lthredge.com/, a collection of links, essays, and kinky resources. He also spearheaded 100 Bloggers, an effort to get more kinky folk writing blogs. As his name and online moniker would suggest, he enjoys a wide range of edge play activities, from breath control to weaponsex to anesthesia and knockout play, though he also has a passion for stogie scenes, clean classic Japanese hemp rope bondage, and prolonged, intimate inner thigh beatings.
