Ep150: Pioneering Rope Bondage in the Adult Entertainment Industry - An Interview with JP the Pope

The Pope has been practicing bondage professionally since 2004. He is a bondage rigger, but also a director and performer. The Pope recently has been added to the AVN Hall of Fame, which is the first bondage director/performer ever recognized in that capacity. Hopefully this paves the way for future bondage/fetish performers and directors to be more accepted and recognized by mainstream media. fox’s rope has been heavily influenced by JP’s work over the years, and the podcast team have watched many of his videos (for research! ;)), so they were thrilled to talk to him here. In this episode discover: • His journey to discovering rope bondage • How he got into the adult entertainment industry • Taking inspiration from other rope practitioners around him • Rope’s place in his life personally and professionally now • His influences from Western freestyle to Shibari (via Midori’s book!) • Using rope bondage in a personal versus a professional context • Sadism versus sustainability • Tips for sustainability in rope bondage (fox has been using one of them since the interview!) • Why JP doesn’t have intercourse on camera • Some of the biggest challenges he has faced on shoots NB: Apologies, we had some problems with the sound at fox and Mya’s end, so bear with us. Luckily no issue with the Pope’s! Catch episode 151 for the second half of the interview.
