Ep216: My Favourite Rope Scene with Pearl, Bayowolf, Mistress J, Bondage Otter and Fox

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. December 29, 2025 Duration: 28:41
We’re back with Part 2 of our festive special — and this time, our guests share the rope scenes that stuck with them long after the ropes came off. Just like Part 1, the stories range from playful to profound, from photoshoots to performances - and this time, more than one takes us outdoors. Just like in the last episode the line between these is often blurred, in part because the very physicality of rope makes it impossible to fake. In this episode, you’ll hear from: • Pearl and Bayowolf, who turned a difficult situation into unexpected connection, laughter, and community • Mistress J, whose spontaneous outdoor tie with her partner caught the attention of her local community • The Bondage Otter, sharing a photoshoot that blurred the line between art and intimacy • Fox, reflecting on a shoot that beautifully captured the spirit of local cultural festival If you haven’t yet listened to Part 1, don’t miss it — the two episodes make the perfect pair for the holiday season.

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.
