Bedroom Rope Bondage
101 Basics For Knotty Sexy Time

This rope bondage workshop will be a hands-on class with active participation.  The workshop is fully inclusive and intended for beginners taking their first steps into rope bondage or individuals needing a post-pandemic refresher course.  We will briefly analyze basic fundamentals and principles of erotic rope bondage. To begin we will learn two different ties to immobilize our partner. After that, we will focus on application and how to utilize these simple building blocks to immobilize our partner in various positions both inside and outside of the bedroom.  

Prerequisites: None. This class is designed for beginning level students. Bringing a partner is encouraged but not required. If you are uncomfortable working with another participant of the workshop, you can participate in the class by tying yourself or furnature. Participants are encouraged to bring their own rope if they have some, however, loaner rope will be provided.
