Detailed Explanation
A leatherboi is someone who embraces both the leather aesthetic and a submissive role within the BDSM/leather subculture, but doesn't identify with binary gender labels. This submissive identity is distinct from being a slave, and tends to refer to someone who’s newer or more playful in the scene. This person wears leather gear to signal their cultural affiliation.
Leatherboi is both a scene role (receiving in power exchange) and a cultural identity. Over time, it's become less about literal youth and more about choosing a submissive leather identity.
