This episode of The Sassy Show we’re diving into the world of shibari with Frayed Knots—a rigger, performer, and all-round sass pot with a wealth of experience in the kink community. But this isn’t just about rope. It’s about queerness, masculinity, risk, and the responsibility we all have in creating safer, more inclusive spaces.

Frayed Knots speaks candidly about what it’s like to navigate the kink scene as a cis man, how queer spaces have shaped him, and why being accountable for your actions is far more important than fearing ‘cancel culture.’ Reminding us that "mistakes happen—but it’s how you handle them that matters."
