Ceci Ferox is a Berlin based queer, kinky and fat sexologist, kink activist, and rope nerd. They have been teaching Japanese inspired rope bondage since 2014, and are currently working as one of the house teachers at Karada House in Berlin. Ceci is inspired by creativity and understanding the smallest details of tying and communication technique. This has led to Ceci being an expert in tailoring ties for different needs. They are currently stoking a fat rope revolution. In the episode, Fox and Mya ask them about: • What being a House Teacher at Karada House entails • Learning through embodied experience • Why it is important to them to accept failure as part of their learning • How they experience topping, bottoming and self-tying • Why it’s important to use the word fat • Fat as a descriptive word, rather than a moral judgement • Who is fat rope for • The advantages of a fat body in rope • Misconceptions about fat bodies in rope • Rope topping tips as a fat bodied person • Practical suggestions for fat rope bottoms • Different kinds of fat

In the world of rope bondage, the conversation is often as intricate as the ties themselves. Rope Podcast is where that conversation lives, hosted by rope partners Fox and Mya. This isn't a theoretical lecture; it's a practical, grounded, and adult-oriented dialogue drawn directly from their shared journey in Shibari and Kinbaku. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in their space, where you'll hear them unpack specific ties, debate current rope topics, and share news from the community. They regularly sit down with other practitioners for interviews, bringing diverse perspectives to the fore. You might find them reviewing a recent event's atmosphere or getting into the nitty-gritty of a new piece of rope gear, discussing its feel and function. Crucially, listener questions drive much of the content, making the podcast a responsive and evolving resource. Tuning into this podcast means accessing a blend of technical insight, personal reflection, and community connection, all centered on the art and practice of rope. Fox and Mya's dynamic provides a relatable entry point for the curious and a rich depth for the experienced, making the rope podcast a natural stop for anyone invested in the craft.
