“So far I’ve not come across any condition that we couldn’t adjust things in a way that still made [rope] enjoyable for the other person.” Alexielle.

Alexielle is a rope switch active in the UK scene. She has a 24/7 D/s relationship with her collared pet Little-Boy-Blue as his owner and Domme, though Alexielle and Little-Boy-Blue switch in rope regularly. Alexielle is the presenter, along with Little-Boy-Blue of the ‘Diverse Bodies in Rope’ class, and we wanted to catch up with her about what this means, and why it’s important for all of us, riggers and bottoms, to be more aware of this topic.

Fox and Mya discuss with Alexielle:

◦ What it means to tie diverse bodies

◦ Practical ideas on how she adapts her style and tying to diverse bodies

◦ Myths about diverse bodies

◦ The range of health conditions she has come across and how she manages these in rope

◦ Tips on how to discuss health conditions with your rope partner

◦ Neurodiversity and how you can adapt rope to suit this

◦ How she and her partner maintain their power exchange when they switch in rope
