Ep129: Exploring Your Intent in Rope Bondage

‘Intent’ in rope is mentioned a lot in rope circles, but can feel a
bit ethereal and hard to pin down. The podcast hosts think it’s
pretty important to be on the same page about your intent in rope
when you go into a scene - but what, then, IS intent in rope? And
why, exactly, is it important? In this episode, Fox and Mya try to
make the topic more practical and explore: * A definition of intent
in rope and its possible consequences * Practical implications of
not being on the same page about intent * The 12 types of possible
intent that we could think of (so far!) * Questions to ask to try
and understand each others’ intent better * When/whether you
‘should’ always share your intent with your scene partner * Can you
have more than one intent during a scene? * The importance of
agreeing not to play if your intents are incompatible (and why) *
Ways to get over different intents (assuming you have overlap in
your ‘venn diagram of intent’) * When and how intent can vary even
between the same two partners
