What starts with a childhood encounter with dance tights grows into a lifelong love of spandex, cosplay, and self-expression.

In this episode of *Stretching the Truth*, UNB Tim talks with Manitoba-based gear enthusiast MokADragon about the many paths that led him into the spandex community—from ballet and cycling gear to catsuits, zentai, compression wear, wrestling singlets, and superhero cosplay.

MokADragon explains why spandex can feel like a second skin, simultaneously softening and heightening sensation, and how it can be incorporated into kink, bondage, pet play, and other forms of gear play. He also shares what it was like to teach classes about spandex at kink events in Winnipeg and Saskatoon.

The conversation turns to confidence and visibility as MokADragon recounts wearing a red catsuit as a vintage trapeze artist for Halloween at work—followed by a suspiciously specific warning about spandex costumes the next year. He found creative ways to keep bringing spandex into the workplace, from Captain Canuck to a Fantastic Four costume complete with dress pants and a lab coat.

MokADragon also discusses wearing his Pride-themed Spider-Man and “SuperBi” suits in public, the importance of bisexual representation, and the joy of seeing kids light up when they spot a Pride superhero. Along the way, he and Tim explore why men are still expected to cover up their tights, how social attitudes differ across cities and countries, and why wearing what you love can be such a powerful act of confidence.
