Mx Bliss explores their switch identity, the dynamics of rope play, and the challenges of navigating legal gray areas. The conversation emphasizes diversity, embracing fears, and advocating for mainstream acceptance. They also share insights on performance, failure, and community inclusivity.

MxBliss (she/they) is a gleeful sadist, sensation empath, consent enthusiast, rope switch, self-suspender, and quinkster (queer kinkster). As an older, queer, femme-presenting POC who didn’t initially feel welcome in the shibari community, she is committed to rope education accessibility. Her rope style is a largely self-taught jumble of American-, circus-, and Japanese- rope (shibari and kinbaku) and is heavily influenced by her self-suspension practice. She’s been handling rope nearly every day since 2019; she’s done hundreds of partnered rope suspensions and even more self-suspensions. Formerly a business and social justice attorney, she frequently presents on negotiation, consent, kink and the law, and diversity/equity/inclusion. She’s currently making a living doing what she loves as a Dominance and Executive Coach/rigger and advising kink-positive businesses.
