Podcasts about rope bondage

It's hard for us to believe, but this episode is number 200 of the Rope Podcast. That's a lot of ropey goodness! Starting back in 2017, we've somehow managed to produce episodes every two weeks on a regular basis. This fun episode celebrates our story so far - a story that in many ways echoes the growth of rope bondage in society at large. We hear updates from some of our guests, including Shay Tizano, Wooden Tiger, Faviola Llervu, RopuNawa, Violet Rain, MistressJ, Chrisian Red, Voudou Ropes, Ebi McKnotty and MarcyVQ, on how the podcast has impacted them personally and their communities. We also share some behind the scenes glimpses that will draw back the curtain on some of our ways of working (think, a lot of blushing for Mya, mostly!). Sit back and enjoy this jam-packed episode now, and use our reminiscences to find new angles on the topic of Rope Bondage once more.

This is a new type of episode for the Rope Podcast, where Fox and Mya discuss how you might combine rope with other forms of play! Here they start with a classic pairing, ‘impact play', which is very common for kinksters to integrate into rope scenes. In this episode they talk about using everything from pevertables to body parts to items made-for-play, as well as: • Why people like this kind of play • What kinds of toys you might use • The benefits of combining rope and impact • The psychological consequences of being tied for impact play • Aesthetics of this kind of scene • Safety concerns and suggestions • Practicalities of how you might combine these two types of play • Toys we especially like to combine with rope and why • Creating impact toys FROM rope! • Important things to know when bottoming for impact in rope • How rope influences the marks made during impact • Some examples from Fox and Mya's own play • Ideas for positions you might use • And more!

Episode87: Rope Bondage with KJ and Lily Explicit Today my special guest is KJ and his lovely fiancé Lily. KJ is an Instructor in the Kazami style of Japanese rope bondage at the Toronto Kinbaku Salon since 2018.His interest in rope is long standing. First picking it up over 20 years ago, but tying infrequently, he was inspired to learn by watching the shibari performances at MBE (Morpheus Bondage Extravaganza).His style centers on the power exchange and intimacy of Kinbaku and is often a playful take on semenawa (The Beauty of Suffering) with a strong aesthetic sense and a love of predicaments.Today we discuss his journey into the world of rope and bondage. We find out what led him to become an instructor and where he developped his love of tying and rigging. We learn the proper terminoligy used in this unique world and find out that rope can equally be an art form or circus like act or be used for bondage kink.Join us as I ask them about their experiences with rope and the rope community. It's a fascinating conversation.If you would like to get in contact with KJ, you can use the links below:InstagramCheck out the Toronto Kinbaku Salon to learn more about taking rope classes in Toronto!If you would like to find out more about rope in your area, you might want to go to FetLife and create a profile and research rope bondage in your area.

Vahavta has created some amazing resources, in particular, the Risk Evaluation Database, which curates possible risks for various BDSM activities (like rope bondage!) we might engage in - from the common (bruising) to the ones you're unlikely to think of (retina detachment), even the very rare ones.  In this second part of Fox and Mya's interview with her, they discuss: • Why she put together the Risk Evaluation Database (RED) • What is a risk profile and why might you need one for rope bondage • How to use RED to create your own risk profile • Tips for kinkies with chronic health issues • What skills can chronic health issues bring • How she processed the impact of her health condition on her choices • The impact of fitness on rope bondage • How we can make the conversation about fitness and rope bottoming more useful • Tips for rope bottoms on pain processing • And more! Vahavta writes, teaches, and speaks on CNC, emotional S/m, kink + chronic illness/disability, pain processing, and negotiation and communication on the edge.

Getting started in Rope bondage and shibari was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. In this episode I talk about how to get started, and the equipment needed.

A note from Fox and Mya: We're not medical professionals, so this episode doesn't constitute medical advice. We're also aware that there are many sensitivities around ASC/ASD that we may overlook. Bear with us, and feel free to gently and kindly provide feedback in the comments if there's something we didn't get right. We also aware that [‘Aspergers'][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome] as a term is now outdated, and has now been merged into Autism Spectrum Disorder, but we reference it in the episode as the listener's email referred to it. A listener reached out to ask about tying with someone with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Fox and Mya aren't experts in this area, so they reached out to their listeners to ask them to share their experience. In this episode, you can hear from seven listeners who either have themselves, or have a tying partner, with ASC, and were kind enough to record soundbites for us. They share tips, challenges, pros and cons of the condition in the context of rope. The WHO estimates 1 in 100 people is a person with the condition, and so even if you aren't currently tying with someone in this category (as top or bottom), you might find it interesting to help your rope practice in the future. We hugely appreciate the vulnerability of the listeners who shared thoughts, and are so grateful for such a wonderful community prepared to share their experience.

We are now almost three years into the relationship and a couple of significant events give Dan the chance to level up in the relationship game. Plus our heroes go their separate ways for a weekend event and both have fun. Visit our website: www.VanillawithaSideofKink.comInstagram: VanillawithaSideofKinkAlso, you can learn more about our Shibari Rope Bondage business at www.AllTiedUpSanDiego.comFetlife.com Group: Vanilla with a Side of Kink - The Podcast

For the 144th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Marika Leila Roux, a Berlin-based Shibari practitioner & the co-founder of Shibari Study, the leader in online rope education. Shibari is Japanese rope bondage, a form of BDSM. The word broadly means "binding" or "tying." It originated from Hojo-jutsu, a torturous method of restraining captives, before morphing into the erotic bondage Kinbaku in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Marika shares her personal journey with Shibari, and we get into the origins and how it relates to Western BSDM practices, how you can practice by yourself with self-tying or solo tying, the benefits, including mindfulness and meditation, the nuances in terminology between rigger vs. rope top and rope model vs. rope bottom, misconceptions about the power dynamics, the difference between power and control, and so much more.
