“My main motivation is to improve the literature. People need to
know what we do is okay…. hearing all the ways people experience
pleasure in rope, whether it’s athletic, or meditation, or
grounding, or that complicated pain-pleasure, I just love that.”
@-Ropeology- Fox and Mya love to deepen their understanding of
rope. When they came across Zoey (@-Ropeology-), a BDSM researcher
who also does rope, they knew they wanted to talk to her. Zoey is
keen for rope and BDSM to be understood better by those who do
academic research on it, and in this interview, Fox and Mya talk to
her about her findings, particularly around rope bondage practice
and community, and the sociology of rope, as well as getting to
know more about Zoey’s personal rope journey. In the episode,
discover: Zoey’s personal rope practice as a switch What the
current academic literature says about rope How rope sub-culture
is experienced and how people feel about rope Zoey’s research on
community and how rope connects people beyond their local physical
city and country How Fetlife is used by the rope community versus
other platforms like Instagram How members of the rope community
often go through a change cycle in their experience of rope The
pros and cons of practicing rope in public community spaces versus
private spaces The way that people talk about the “complicated
pleasure of rope” Her ideas on future research
