For a change of pace, this episode features a piece of erotica written by Ropecast fan and patron, Sanger. It's kind of a preview of the class that Naiia and GRay are teaching at Bondage Expo Dallas, called LEATHER and Rope.

Along with a generous support of our patrons, this episode was brought to you by rope. twistedview.com and MOcoJute.com as well as the generous support of bastardropes.com.

Tifereth, who wrote a controversial essay about consent in the rope community, comes on the Ropecast to talk about the need for safe spaces to have constructive discussions about consent issues.

"I do advocate for opening up the conversation to include non-judgemental discussion on consent errors so we may learn from our consent mistakes, because chances are you're going to make one. Preferably off the internet, because there be trolls."

This is part of a three-part series on consent.

This is all made possible by my sponsors, Moco Jute, Karma Rope and Bastard Ropes, and especially this month with Twisted View, who has created some special reinforced up-line rope!
