S2 E017 Rope Bondage with Mx. Knotty and Kingsly Killer Drinks & Kinks!

    • Society & Culture

Special guests this week are a pair of badasses who specialize in rope bondage and educating the kink community, Mx. Knotty and Kingsly Killer!

In this episode you'll hear:

How they both got involved with rope.
Safety for getting started, because rope play is one of the most dangerous forms of kink.
Why you should avoid cotton rope for suspensions (but it's great for decorative ties).
Nylon is much different than cotton (and nylon is great for water scenes along with polyester).
6mm and wider is a better choice to mitigate damage.
No rope is "safe".
Mx. Knotty loves Jute!
Rigger vs. Top, bunny vs. bottom.
Mx. Knotty and Kingsley origin story
What is Knotty Productions?
Risk aware does not equal "safe".
Implicit Consent vs. Explicit Consent.
Rope Safety for new riggers and rope tops!

START SLOW. Start with basics.
Leave dynamics at the door for a minute to prioritize safety.


Or find a way to keep very honest, open communication during the dynamic.
No means no, especially in beginner ropes.
It's ok to speak up if the ropes feel uncomfortable.
Be specific.
Err on the side of caution: untie, reconsider, re-tie.
Informed consent is extremely important.
Rope is extremely dangerous, so it's important to educate yourself on the risks, especially if you're a bottom/bunny.
Communication is the most important part of tying with someone!
Continuous check-in's and nerve checks.
Prepare and care for your body before and after tying.
Stretch, warm up, eat food, hydrate, etc.
Aftercare.
Safety Shears!



Get comfortable talking about uncomfortable things! Speak your needs, especially when it comes to ropes.
What's in Mx Knotty's rope kits that she brings to her scenes.
Safety sheers.
How to negotiate a scene, and negotiating a scene that's already in progress.
Know your body (both as a rigger and a bunny).
Rope space.
As a rigger, know your bunny's body language.
Setting the scene.
Energy transfers through the rope.
It's ok to tap out if it isn't working, as a top or bottom!
If someone has something they need to tell you about their body, say "thank you for telling me".
Arousal/Eroticism in ropes
Riggers Chess
Debriefing after scenes are over.
Tie yourself before tying others so you know how it feels.
