‘Intent’ in rope is mentioned a lot in rope circles, but can feel a bit ethereal and hard to pin down. The podcast hosts think it’s pretty important to be on the same page about your intent in rope when you go into a scene - but what, then, IS intent in rope? And why, exactly, is it important?In this episode, Fox and Mya try to make the topic more practical and explore:* A definition of intent in rope and its possible consequences* Practical implications of not being on the same page about intent* The 12 types of possible intent that we could think of (so far!)* Questions to ask to try and understand each others’ intent better * When/whether you ‘should’ always share your intent with your scene partner* Can you have more than one intent during a scene?* The importance of agreeing not to play if your intents are incompatible (and why)* Ways to get over different intents (assuming you have overlap in your ‘venn diagram of intent’)* When and how intent can vary even between the same two partners
