Max and Lover's Lair Present Hot Rope: Make Your Bondage Sizzle (Sold Out)

We all start our learning with basic skills - how to perform the elements of a scene and how to master the tools we’ve chosen to use. Rope tops learn knots, develop a few bondage positions and absorb a lot of safety information.

That’s not why we do scenes though – we do them because they’re engaging, powerful and HOT.

In this intimate workshop, Max demonstrates how to move from restraint to dominance, and from basic skills to mastery. Rope bondage is the context for this workshop, but many of the techniques are applicable to any scene.

******************************
* Workshop format
******************************

We’ll start with a scene demonstrating the use of rope, voice, motion and affect to create headspace and establish mood.

After the opening scene Max discusses specific techniques you can incorporate to elicit the responses you want. This isn’t a “how to tie knots” class, but there will be some time for hands-on practice and Q&A.

As with all of Max's workshops, a handout will be provided to facilitate your learning and retention.

******************************
* Who should attend?
******************************

This workshop assumes no previous BDSM experience, and is appropriate for all genders, all orientations, and for tops and bottoms.

Since most of this workshop is lecture and demos, a practice partner is not required.  There will be some time at the end for folks who'd like to practice or ask for hands-on guidance.

******************************
* Afterwards
******************************

We are navigating the current CDC guidelines and our own sense of safety and reasonableness. The protocol for this event is based on our own research and risk assessment; we encourage you to do the same before you purchase your ticket. If you’d like to attend, please follow these protocols:

Attendees must be fully vaccinated as of the event date. That means 2 weeks after the final dose of your series (1 for J&J, 2 for Pfizer or Moderna).

You will be asked to provide a proof of vaccination as you enter. If you prefer, you can email Max a copy of your vaccine card ahead of time. In the interest of privacy, I’ll delete the card after I’ve confirmed your vaccination status.

Masks will not be required. You may, of course, wear a mask if you wish.

Please do not attend if you are exhibiting COVID symptoms or you are exposed to someone who has tested positive in the 14 days before the event.

Thank you for helping to keep us all safe.
