Ep220: Women Tying Men: Rope Field Report

About this episode

Mya reports from the 'She Ties' event, exploring the dynamics of female riggers and male bottoms through community voices.

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!
