| 6/15/26 | ![]() Ep228: Recovering from Rope Bondage Trauma | Thank you to listener MoonBunny5 for sharing a difficult and vulnerable question. After experiencing a very negative interaction with a rigger, she now struggles to even look at rope without feeling disgusted. She wants to know whether it's possible to return to rope after an experience like this, and if so, how. While neither Mya nor Fox are therapists, this episode explores some of the concepts that may be helpful when approaching recovery from rope-related trauma. Topics include: • Why trauma can occur in rope communities more often than many people realise • The role of nervous system regulation and emotional safety • Understanding the difference between thoughts and feelings • Using free writing to process difficult experiences • Exploring alternative contexts and associations • Reintroducing rope slowly, beginning with rope as a simple object • The principles behind exposure therapy • Practising self-compassion throughout recovery • Creating safe environments for trauma work Important note: We strongly encourage seeking support from a qualified therapist where available. The ideas discussed in this episode are intended as general discussion and are best explored alongside professional support. | — | ||||||

| 11/17/25 | ![]() Ep213: How to Condition the Body for Rope Bottoming – An Interview with Exercise Physiologist Claire (Part 2) | Are you in condition to do rope? And what does that really mean? Claire, a Filipino strength and conditioning coach and exercise physiology researcher based in Thailand, returns for part two of her conversation with Mya and Fox. With over 15 years of experience coaching people of all ages, shapes, and abilities, she brings a science-informed, body-positive approach to rope bottoming—one that combines strength, mobility, and awareness. Her perspective couldn’t be more different from Mya’s go-with-the-flow style, and this time the hosts explore how conditioning, recovery, and mindset work together to build a rope journey that’s sustainable, safe, and deeply rewarding. In this episode, they discuss: • The difference between conditioning and simply “getting fit” • Why you might want to condition yourself for rope, not just in rope • How rope is a marathon, not a sprint • Re-setting expectations for your body after time away from rope • Building the mental approach needed for long-term rope practice • Activities that help your body adapt to different rope challenges • Using the rope session itself as conditioning • What rope can learn from sports science • How conditioning supports safety and longevity • The role of bodyweight exercises in building body awareness • Why establishing a “body baseline” matters • Breathwork and recovery • Conditioning for “smexy-times” rope • The eight senses and their role in rope play You don’t have to do any of this (Mya) —but if you love understanding the body, or you’re a science and exercise geek at heart (Fox!), this is a must-listen.

| 11/3/25 | ![]() Ep212: How to Use Labbing to Improve Your Rope Bottoming – An Interview with Exercise Physiologist Claire Part 1 | Claire, a Filipino strength and conditioning coach and exercise physiology researcher based in Thailand, brings a fresh, evidence-informed perspective to rope bottoming. Fascinated by how the body responds to rope—physically and psychologically—she’s exploring how strength, conditioning, and awareness can deepen your connection to your own body in rope. Her approach couldn’t be more different from Mya’s ‘just turn up’ style, so the hosts sat down with her to unpack how labbing, movement, and mindful training can transform the rope experience. In this episode, they discuss: • What “labbing” as a rope bottom really means • How to use labbing to discover your body’s strengths and weak spots • Understanding your body’s physical and emotional responses to rope • Overcoming mental and physical challenges through labbing • Handling surprises and unmet expectations • How rope shapes—and is shaped by—the body • Why yoga with rope feels so different from yoga without it • Using rope as a tool for body awareness and self-connection • The three key questions Claire asks before every session • Simple exercises to prepare for rope and tune in afterward Expect a thoughtful conversation at the intersection of science, embodiment, and rope.

| 9/8/25 | ![]() Ep208: Tying and Being Tied in Rope Bondage with ADHD | Whether or not you think that there is a higher incidence of neurodiversity in the kink scene, research shows that around 6% of adults are affected by ADHD, which means over a rope career if you interact with different partners, at some point you’re likely to tie with someone with the condition. In this episode, we ask listeners to share their lived experience of ADHD, to better understand the potential symptoms, and how it might affect rope - whether you are a top, bottom or self-tier. As ever, we remind us all that individual differences are stronger than group differences, and just because something applies to one person with ADHD, does not mean it applies to another person - the best way to understand your rope partner is to talk to them. | — | ||||||

| 8/11/25 | ![]() Ep206: Tying outside a marriage - An interview with monogamous couple Pearl and Bayowolf | Bayowolf and Wolfspearl have been married for 42 years and partners in kink for the last 13. Shibari has become a central part of their journey over the past six years, deepening both their connection and their creativity. About a year and a half ago, with open communication and a deep commitment to their marriage, they chose to begin tying with other people—an experience that has expanded their skills and enriched the bond they share. Both live with autoimmune diseases and actively pursue health and strength through clean eating and an intense fitness regimen, showing that resilience, love, and rope can go hand in hand.

| 7/28/25 | ![]() Ep205 : Aging as a Rope Bottom - An interview with Pearl | Pearl began her rope bottoming journey in 2019 at the age of 57, attending Bondage Expo Dallas with her husband, Bayowolf. In preparation for Beach Bind 2021, they dove into the local rope scene, attending education-focused meetups to grow their skills. Despite her commitment, Pearl found rope bottoming challenging and noticed a lack of education directed at bottoms in her community, leading her to question whether rope was truly for her. That changed dramatically during an intensive at Beach Bind, where she received her first formal bottoming education from an experienced rope bottom. Learning how to process pain, distinguish between “good” pain and harmful pain, and care for herself during rope scenes transformed her experience. Since then, Pearl has been passionate about sharing what she’s learned, offering her insight and support to help others find empowerment and understanding in rope bottoming. The podcast hosts - both in their forties - are very invested in the topic, and discuss with Pearl: • Her rope journey • What she loves about rope • Why she nearly gave up at the start and how she learned to ‘manage the suck’ • Dealing with psychological hurdles about her age • How her life experiences have influenced her rope bottoming • How she keeps her body and mind healthy for rope • Her autoimmune disease and how it affects her rope bottoming • What it really means to ‘listen to your body’ • Handling the vasovagal response successfully • How rope has changed the way she views her body • Adaptations she uses • And finally the benefits of being an older rope bottom | — | ||||||

The hosts explore in the episode: • Wax and rope aesthetics • Types of scene you can use wax within • Safety and risks and possible mitigations for these • Considerations for choice of position and tie • Wax removal • Challenges of clean up • Plus hear all about one of Fox’s ‘hottest’ ever scenes… | — | ||||||
