In this episode of Turns Out I’m Into It, I’m joined by the incredible Miss Gen—Shibari educator, performer, and rope sadist. As head of Evil Girls HQ in Brisbane and a Shihan (Master Instructor) in Kazami Ryu Shibari, she has 25+ years of experience training with top rope masters and performing in Japan. 

We explore:

🔹 Miss Gen’s journey into rope – From self-tying as a child to discovering her dominant side.
🔹 The psychology of rope play – How energy, connection, and anticipation shape a scene.
🔹 Shibari vs. Western bondage – Key differences in style, structure, and emotional depth.
🔹 Performing in Japan – The world of Japanese rope bars, pink theatres & cultural attitudes.
🔹 Building a rope community – How Miss Gen helped shape the Brisbane rope scene.

Miss Gen shares why patience, negotiation, and connection are essential in rope. If you’re curious about Shibari, this episode is a must-listen!
