Ep185: Risk Evaluation for Rope Bondage - an interview with vahavta pt2

Author: rope partners Fox and Mya, The Rope Podcast is an adult podcast about rope bondage, Shibari and Kinbaku. Listen for discussions of ties, rope topics and news, interviews, reviews of events and rope gear, and listener questions. October 21, 2024 Duration: 19:10
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. Feel free to share your thoughts on the topic in the comments <3

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.
