In this episode, I dive into a recent adventure that took me to Brisbane, where I explored rope suspension for the first time. While I successfully achieved my suspension goals, it was the floor rope scenes with a talented rigger named Ravel (@ravel_shibari on Instagram) that truly transformed my perspective on rope.

Join me as I share about these floor scenes, revealing what they looked like, how they felt, and the crucial elements of successful scene negotiation and trust-building with a new play partner. In line with our show’s ethos, I also peel back the curtain on some of the less glamorous aspects of kinky play—like stress, expectations, and fatigue—helping to normalise the full spectrum of experiences that come with exploring our kinks.

Tune in to learn why sometimes the most insightful lessons come from unexpected places!
