    Ep223: How to Be a ‘Rope Assistant’

    This week, Fox and Mya explore a role in rope bondage that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: the rope assistant. Neither top nor bottom, but an active and intentional part of the scene—this dynamic opens up new possibilities for connection, support, and creativity. Fox and Mya break down: • What the role actually involves (and common misconceptions) • Ways a rope assistant can contribute to a scene • How power, service, and intention can show up in this dynamic • Who might enjoy this role and why • Tips to make the experience fulfilling for everyone involved • Handling the added complexity of multi-person scenes • Risks to be aware of when introducing a third person • Personal examples of how this dynamic has worked in practice A practical, thoughtful look at expanding rope dynamics and creating more connected, collaborative scenes.

    Ep222: Whimsy & Erotic Anguish — Creating a Shibari Colouring Book with Muffy (Against-TheGrain)

    From squeaky ducky paddles to exquisite rope art Muffy's creative journey is anything but ordinary. The owner of UK BDSM brand Against-TheGrain, Muffy is an intermediate rope switch who's turned shibari into something playful, painful, and unexpectedly meditative: colouring books for rope lovers. Created in collaboration with 7 artists across the UK, USA, and Australia, these books transform real riggers and rope bottoms into expressive, erotic art meant to be felt, not followed. In this episode, Mya and Fox dig into: - Turning rope into interactive art - Capturing erotic anguish on the page - The challenges of building a global creative collaboration - Why these images are about interpretation, not instruction - What colouring adds to the shibari experience - And the hosts delight at seeing their own rope images brought to life

    Ep221: ‘Suspendability’ in Rope Bondage - Listener's Mail

    When does a tie become suspension-worthy? Is it a binary "Yes/No," or is there a grey area where physics and risk collide? This week, we’re answering a brilliant listener question from @TangledNTwisted: “What actually makes a tie suspension-worthy?” Fox and Mya break down the "Suspendability Spectrum," moving away from rigid rules and moving toward a framework of Data, Mechanics, and Risk Management. What We’re Breaking Down: - The Risk Profile: How to evaluate the "cost of failure" before the feet leave the floor. - The Mechanics of Injury: Identifying the specific anatomical stressors (nerves, circulation, and soft tissue) that change when gravity enters the chat. - Surface Area & Distribution: The physics of why "more rope" isn't always the simple answer. - The "Bottom’s Tax": How much are we actually asking of the person in the ropes? - Science-ing It: How to gather data through incremental testing and low-air experimentation. The Takeaway: Suspendability isn't a checkbox; it’s a conversation between the rigger, the bottom, and the laws of physics. We’re here to help you move from "I think this is safe" to "I have the data to know why this works."

    Ep220: Women Tying Men: Rope Field Report

    Mya is stepping out of the studio and into the heart of the action. This week, we’re bringing you a special field report from “She Ties”, an event dedicated exclusively to female riggers and male bottoms. Since Fox (male rigger) and Mya (female bottom) can’t speak to this dynamic from personal experience, we’re passing the mic to the community. Featuring atmospheric audio recorded on-site, we hear from a global roster of voices—hailing from Thailand and Taiwan to the UK and Russia. What’s inside: - The Nuance: Why individual connection always trumps the binary. - The Physicality: Practical tips for navigating different body types and mechanics. - The Social Shift: Breaking down the "big spoon/little spoon" stigma in the rope scene. The Interview Guest List: - Riggers: HuaHua, Yada Kinabalu, Noir_fix, May, Sasha - Bottoms: Pang, Co, Ratta - Spectators: Gorgone and Sawyer A quick note: The audio is live and "in the wild"—forgive the background noise, but enjoy the energy!

    Ep219: Rope Focus - The Agura Tie

    The Agura tie shows up again and again in shibari - but what makes it so enduring, and how can you work with it more intentionally? In this Rope Focus episode, Fox and Mya break the Agura tie down piece by piece: how it’s built, how it feels, and how small choices in structure, orientation, and intent can dramatically change the experience. They dive into: • What the Agura position actually is - including easier and more demanding variations (and what Fox affectionately calls the leg pretzel) • Different ways to construct the tie, and how those choices affect comfort and control • More sustainable versus less sustainable versions, and when each might make sense • How to increase the strength of the tie to reduce deformation and slippage • Mya’s perspective on what it feels like to be in Agura, and what she enjoys about it as a bottom • Practical tips for helping bottoms relax into the position, and bottoming skills that support the tie • How Agura feels in different orientations, on the floor and in suspension • The five distinct suspension orientations and what each one brings • The overall vibe of the position, physically and psychologically • How Fox enforces the position, and what that adds to the dynamic • Managing safety, risk, and responsibility in this classic tie Whether you’re meeting Agura for the first time or refining a tie you already love, this episode offers both technical insight and experiential depth.

    Ep218: Art, nature, alchemy: what it’s like to be a rope goth-druid in the forest – An Interview with Nikki lapore

    Matija Vid Pecek Black (she/he/they, aka Nikki Lapore) has been exploring shibari for nearly a decade-but this isn’t just about knots. For Nikki, rope is a way to connect with energy, nature, and the soul itself. Think flowers, forests, and the freedom of tying yourself as a ritual of release and self-discovery. In this episode, Mya and Fox dive into Nikki’s unique world, covering: • How rope becomes self-expression and boosts confidence • The art and ritual of self-tying • Connecting with nature through rope • Their creative rope process—from choosing the perfect organic rope to dying it with natural pigments (yes, including bones—gloves required!) • What makes rope art—and whether it even needs an audience • Rope’s place in their life, work, and Croatian culture • And their vision for future druidic-goth-art adventures Plus, hear Mya’s mind completely blown when she realizes she totally misunderstood one of Nikki’s offerings.

    Ep217: From 2017 to 2026 - Reflecting on Nine Years of Rope Conversations (Listener Mail)

    Listener Bethany asks Fox and Mya a deceptively simple question: after nine years of making the Rope Podcast, what’s actually changed about their rope - and the way they think about it? The answer turns into a wide-ranging, honest reflection on how rope evolves over time: through experimentation, relationships, community, aging, and life doing what life does. In this episode, they talk about: • How their intents in rope have shifted - and why that matters • Using experimentation to uncover what truly sits at the core of their rope practice • How the ties in Fox’s rope system have changed over the years • How changes in relationship style reshaped how they think about and position rope partners • Mya’s journey from early innocence into a deeper engagement with safety, consent, and responsibility as a bottom • What’s changed in the rope scene around them - and how that’s influenced their choices • A key lesson from doing rope cross-culturally, and how it transformed their approach to consent • Some of the biggest shifts in how they approach rope, and what prompted them • The tying styles they’ve explored, abandoned, or kept • How age and changing lives have altered what rope looks like now • How tying outside their rope partnership has evolved for each of them • Ways they try to live their values in rope, even when it’s uncomfortable • What hasn’t changed - and why those constants still matter • And yes… cuddly rope and TV rope This conversation feels like sitting down with old friends who’ve carried rope through some of life’s biggest transitions and come out with deeper curiosity and clearer priorities. Part reflection, part history, and part check-in, it’s a look at what it really means to grow with rope over the long term. Click to listen, and consider: what’s changed in your rope over the years - and what’s stayed the same?

    Ep216: My Favourite Rope Scene with Pearl, Bayowolf, Mistress J, Bondage Otter and Fox

    We’re back with Part 2 of our festive special — and this time, our guests share the rope scenes that stuck with them long after the ropes came off. Just like Part 1, the stories range from playful to profound, from photoshoots to performances - and this time, more than one takes us outdoors. Just like in the last episode the line between these is often blurred, in part because the very physicality of rope makes it impossible to fake. In this episode, you’ll hear from: • Pearl and Bayowolf, who turned a difficult situation into unexpected connection, laughter, and community • Mistress J, whose spontaneous outdoor tie with her partner caught the attention of her local community • The Bondage Otter, sharing a photoshoot that blurred the line between art and intimacy • Fox, reflecting on a shoot that beautifully captured the spirit of local cultural festival If you haven’t yet listened to Part 1, don’t miss it — the two episodes make the perfect pair for the holiday season.
