Author: Badger

Badger, the ever optimistic Firefly fan, has been a very active member of the DC area BDSM community for well over the last decade. Starting out in his early 20s he has topped, bottomed, photographed, volunteered, been voluntold, run events, run groups, and had the time of his life doing it.
