This year, as I crafted my questionnaire using the Chinese survey platform “问卷星” (Wenjuanxing), I encountered an unexpected hurdle. After completing the editing process, I discovered that my questionnaire had been banned due to the sensitivity of the content related to rope bondage. Despite investing considerable time in editing, my survey became unusable, prompting me to shift to Google Forms to recreate it. This incident highlights the challenges faced in China regarding rope bondage and the cultural journey that still lies ahead.
Encouraged by my tutor, I took the initiative to reach out to numerous industry experts via email this year. While many did not respond and some politely declined, there were also experts who generously provided valuable advice. Regardless, I now approach challenges with optimism, embracing the courage to try new things. If I hadn’t taken the initiative to email them, I would have missed out on valuable opportunities.
Since the beginning of the semester, I have remained dedicated to the field of rope bondage, unwavering in my commitment to my research question. I genuinely enjoy exploring rope bondage. Along this journey, some have expressed that I introduced them to something new, and some people also said to me that I want to play rope bondage with you but only if it is sexual.t. Rope bondage has allowed me to see the world from a fresh perspective, bringing new friends into my life and providing me with invaluable experiences. I am grateful for the journey.
