Wanna know more about our guest on this episode?
The Knotty House is a Black, Femme-founded, Femme-focused, non-traditional BDSM house, led by The Founding Four (Knotty Lotus, Alley Cat, Plush Bunnie, Neffie Khaos), centered on Blackness, rope bondage, body diversity, education, and pleasure. The Knotty House’s vision is to cultivate a more diverse representation in the BDSM community, especially for those who participate in the art of rope bondage. Our mission is to promote the representation of Black people, diverse bodies, and diverse genders in the rope bondage community; to foster a community among Black Rope Tops and Rope bottoms; to provide education to those seeking to learn best practices from Black femme Rope Tops and Rope bottoms; and to promote a space where The Knotty House members collectively engage in educational opportunities to further their craft. Anytime you engage with The Knotty House you can expect to GET TAUGHT, GET TIED, and GET TURNED ON.

Tidbits from the Episode
- Alley Cat was unable to join this week’s episode but we will hopefully get to sit down with her another time
- Knotty Lotus floated the idea of the house to the other members of the founding four and had to let them know she wasn’t high first lol
- The Knotty House and their events are for BIPOC people exclusively but there are opportunities for non-BIPOC people to get involved via donations and purchasing classes, etc
- The support from the BIPOC kink community has been fantastic!
- Suspensions coming soon from Neffie Khaos and Alley Cat.
- Neffie also crochets! Fun facts!
- Their next event is on November 12, 2022 and is called Shibari & Smores. Sadly it’s already sold out but don’t worry, they have more events planned next year.
