You wouldn’t believe the number of times our guests and listeners share that their introduction to Shibari was the book “Shibari You Can Use: Japanese Rope Bondage and Erotic Macramé”. We are thus thrilled to share the first of two episodes with the author, another OG of US rope, Lee Harrington. Lee Harrington (he/they) is a spiritual and erotic authenticity educator, gender explorer, eclectic artist, and award-winning author and editor on erotic and sacred experience. As a rigger, self-binder, and rope bottom he has been teaching ropework and other topics since 2001 across 50 states and 6 other countries.
In this super interview with him Fox and Mya discuss:
• His jam-packed rope journey
• Types of rope fibers he uses (and why)
• Pros and cons of established partners versus new partners in rope
• The challenges of working in the adult film industry
• The impact of surgery, including top surgery, on how you get tied
• Useful language to ensure we’re inclusive when tying
• Tips on navigating the rope community when you’re new
• How the rope community has evolved over time
• Thoughts on ‘one-true-wayism’ in rope
• How Lee integrates rope with all the many other gifts and interests he brings to the world
• And more!
