@Bravo_Juliet, a rope bottom and listener from the UK, asks the Rope Podcast whether a top can experience some of the feelings and headspace that are more traditionally associated with bottoms as she asks: “Can rope be relaxing for tops too?”
Fox and Mya explore this topic, touching on:
* What ‘bottom space’ in rope might look like
* Cathartic triggers for bottoms
* Pros and cons of altered headspace in rope
* The importance of not pressuring yourself to feel a certain way in rope
* The influence of the bottom’s emotions on the top
* Barriers to a top relaxing in rope
* How a bottom can support a top to a different headspace in rope
* The limited research on altered mindstates in tops and bottoms in BDSM
* Fox’s experience of a different headspace as a rigger
* Conditions to achieve ‘flow state’
