Ep81: What to do when you ‘fail’ in rope

Fox and Mya discuss the concept of ‘failure’ in rope, its origin,
and most importantly how we can either mitigate it, or even not
create a situation where you might feel it in the first place. They
share some of their own vulnerable feelings of failure and how they
managed them together. They also discuss: * What do we mean by
failure in rope * Where do our feelings of failure come from
externally and internally * Comparisonitis * How communication
between top and bottom impacts feelings of failure * Injury and
safewords and how they relate to feelings of failure * Top and
bottom examples of ‘failure’ * Aftercare after ‘failure’ * How to
avoid feeling that you’ve failed in rope from the start * The
transferable skills from handling failure rope that you can use in
the default world They hope this episode is helpful to removing any
feelings of failure you’ve experienced while doing wonderful rope.
Have fun tying! NB: This isn’t including the sort of failure
incited via consensual emotional sado-masochism
