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. June 29, 2026 Duration: 22:19
Self-care is a topic Mya is particularly passionate about, and in this episode we take a deep dive into what self-care means for people who practice rope. Although many of our episodes touch on aspects of caring for ourselves and our partners, this conversation focuses specifically on building self-care practices that support a healthy and sustainable relationship with rope. Topics include: • What self-care is and what it isn't • Why self-care is important in rope practice • The foundations of effective self-care • How self-care can look different for tops and bottoms • Mya and Fox's personal self-care approaches • Why self-awareness is one of the most important self-care skills • The highly individual nature of self-care • Practical ideas to support your own wellbeing • Adapting self-care to different styles and intensities of rope • The relationship between self-care and aftercare • Simple ways to start developing your own rope self-care practices Whether you're a top, bottom, switch, beginner or experienced practitioner, understanding your own needs can help you create a safer, more enjoyable and more sustainable rope journey.

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.
