Ep7: Handling Pain in Rope

Where does pain fit in terms of rope? Do we want it? Not want it? As edge play, pain can give us some pretty important signals in rope. So are there some types of pain we seek out? How do we know what types of pain to avoid and what are okay to try and bear? We talk about types of pain in rope, how bottoms can more effectively handle pain, some ideas of how to add (the right kind) of pain to scenes, and how rope tops can help their bottoms handle pain and achieve more challenging ties. In the episode we share some techniques for how bottoms handle pain. So we ask our Dear Listeners this week to comment below on: *What do you do as a rope bottom to handle pain in rope?
