The introduction of Rope Bottom School at Studio Kokoro has been received really well, not only by attendees but also internationally on social media taking part in shaping the event content by responding to questions and stories. The idea behind rope bottom school is to bring all voices of rope together, so you can join…
Positive Action for consent
Positive Action for consent or PAC is an extension of the safety check myself and WykD_Dave have in place for when we play, I am sure there are many other who do similar checks during play. I wanted to write a bit more on it, particularly in relation to consent during play. Having a positive action for…
All good riggers get tied up
A point I work hard to deliver in my rope bottoming classes is that the bondage experience will be different for everyone and that this is okay. So many of us make judgements of self worth based on how much we can achieve compared to other rope bottoms. There seems to be a growing expectation…
Preparing for Rope
The success of your rope experience as a bottom is often dependent on your frame of mind, how you are feeling and how open you are to the experience. This is easier said than done at times. There are techniques you can use to assist with this and you might already do them. Just like…
Embracing Your Emotions: All of Your Emotions

In terms of rope, I really feel there is not much benefit in rope tops mentoring rope bottoms, there may be some but if a rope bottom is looking to learn, develop and grow with a…
Evaluating Your Rigger
Before you evaluate your rigger you need to stop and evaluate yourself. You are what will keep you safe, ultimately you can only rely on yourself. Know your body’s limits. You do not have to be an experienced rope bottom to know this. When you are faced with your limits you will know it, be…
Being too Tolerant

I think this is mostly because riggers are not tying well and not taking care or knowledge of placement on the individual they are tying. It is shocking the amount of people who take…
What Do I Get From Rope?
