Ep151: Practicalities in Rigging, Directing in Adult Entertainment Rope Bondage - JP the Pope Pt2
Description
In our last episode we enjoyed the first part of our lovely interview with JP the Pope (find the first part of the conversation at Ep:150). With 20+ years in professional rope bondage adult videos, he has a wealth of interesting experiences to talk about, plus his shoots are some of the most interesting and creative rope bondage positions for sex the podcast team has seen.
In this episode discover:
• When he’s gotten it wrong, accidents and injuries he’s been involved with in rope bondage and how he’s dealt with them
• Discussing limits and consent before starting to shoot
• How ego kills talent
• The benefits of working with an empowered, trusted crew
• Continuous improvement and learning, and how he does this
• How he comes up with positions for his shoots
• Aftercare off-camera (and the critical place of hugs!)
• Working with his wife on set and the roles they take
• Blooper moments over the years
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.
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!
