From putting a crotch rope on yourself to building coil and cinch hogties, we’ll explore what the human body really can do to itself with rope.
Some of us don’t have partners. Some of us are in relationships with folks who can’t tie their shoes, or are bottoms themselves. Some of us like tying ourselves up, or masturbating while bound. Whatever your reason, you are NOT alone. Let’s explore our desires, safety techniques for self-riggers, discuss tools of the trade, then plunge into how to do a wide variety of self-bondage using rope (but we’ll mention the other options too).
From putting a crotch rope on yourself to building coil and cinch hogties, we’ll explore what the human body really can do to itself with rope (and depending on time we may even peek at self-suspension and tying formal a takate kote on ourselves which both take a bit of magic).
Please have three pieces of 25-30 foot rope (6mm is my preferred width) and one piece of 10-15 foot rope as well (material is of your choice). If you have any of your own favorite equipment for self-bondage, please bring it as well for show-and-tell. This is a hands on class (though non-interactive learners or supporters are welcome), so wear comfortable clothes and bring an attitude of fun and learning.
