Your first rope scene can be one of the most risky points in your rope career. Fox and Mya review what bottoms and tops needs to do in preparation for their first scene, touching on safety, consent, boundaries, contingencies and risks, and some of the practicalities just before you rope (spoiler alert: don’t forget to pee beforehand is one!).

We discuss: what you might need to know about your tying partner; what to wear; whether you need sex involved; locations you might want to have your first scene; issues of language differences; why you might not want to do suspension for your first ever scene, plus lots more considerations to keep in mind pre-your first scene.

Also find out what Fox thinks is the second most risky time in a rigger’s career and one of the places he’s been asked not to touch by a couple of rope bottoms that you might not consider…

NB: When we recorded this episode it went pretty long, so we’ve cut it into two parts. Look out for the next episode in a couple of weeks!
