Co-Host: Ian Rath
Ian Rath has been in the scene for over 25 years. He started one of the first fetish photography websites online in 1998, Ian Rath’s FetishNation.com. It was the beginning of online porn and bondage in the early 2000’s. “It was the Wild West!, and it was an astonishing time!” In taking on this new role as both a lifestyle and professional Dom, he dove in headfirst and learned a lot about BDSM. Ian was lucky enough to learn from amazing Pro-Dommes such as Isabella Sinclair and Sabrina Belladonna who understood pacing and how to really tune into their submissives.
Ian Rath is currently a photographer, videographer, director, and male Dom. He has been working at eXtreme Restraints since 2012 and is one of the hosts of XR University along with Aiden Starr. He believes that good communication skills are really what’s needed to be in the scene, “How else are you supposed to talk to somebody about your sexual needs? Up front and honest communication skills are what you need and what you have to keep working on.” It was Ian’s idea to do an educational series when he started working for XR. “I thought there was so much bad info out there about bondage and BDSM that it was time for some good information to be given on the subject.” The show has been going on strong for over a decade with longtime friend Aiden Starr, and they’re still educating and providing one of the best shows on kink around!
