Roux aka SladkiySova (they/them) is a Non-Binary Femme Switch and rope bottom from the NYC area. From their first dose of kink, they were not only hooked on the fun but the community that came with it. As a sensualist and brat at heart, they enjoy pushing buttons and finding the limits of their own body while helping others find out the same about themselves. They have tied with their rope partner Lubegirl for almost a decade and together, their friendship and unconventional teaching style has brought joy to many.

Their core principles of accessibility, decentralized education, and community building has allowed them to find self-determination through rope and help others redefine for both rigger and bottom alike what it means to learn from each other and within a community with many different approaches. They aspire to use their influence to bring attention to QTBIPOC and all other voices of underrepresented kinksters.
