About this podcast
This is a podcast about rope bondage in general and Shibari in particular. We are three rope models at heart, friends, rope educators and have a combined 40 + years of experience in and around rope bondage. If that’s enough for you to think it’s worth listening, then be warmly welcomed to our contribution and comments from the sidelines to the world of rope.
