Ep184: Hyper-mobile EDS and giving up being a rope bottom - an interview with vahavta pt1

Vahavta writes, teaches, and speaks on CNC, emotional S/m, kink +
chronic illness/disability, pain processing, and negotiation and
communication on the edge. She is also a creator of some wonderful
resources, such as the Risk Evaluation Database, and the ‘Kink
Beyond Limits’ power exchange workbooks. We wanted to talk to her
about all these, along with her choice to give up being a rope
bottom, as this is a story that often happens, but is rarely talked
about. Listen to this episode to hear about: • Her rope journey •
Her health background and why she gave up rope • Reasons for the
rope scene skewing young • EDS and why it might be more common in
the rope scene • How being flexible in rope might not always be a
good thing • Why many people with hyper-mobile EDS are drawn to
rope • How rope bottoms can build longevity in rope • Balancing
strength and flexibility • How the Beighton Score might help you
know if you might have EDS • Why active bottoming is critical for
those with EDS • How she views her time in rope bondage with the
benefit of hindsight • And more! Feel free to share your thoughts
