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 just like tying ourselves up. Some of us like to masturbate bound.
Whatever your reason, you are NOT alone.
Let's explore our desires, safety techniques for self-bondagers, and the tools of the trade. We'll plunge into how to do a wide variety of self bondage using rope and other materials.
From putting a crotch rope on yourself to building coil and cinch super hogties, we'll explore what the human body really can do to itself with rope. If we have time, we may even peek at tying formal taka-takotes on ourselves, which takes a bit of magic.
Some rope will be provided for the workshop, but please bring three 25-30' lengths and two 10' lengths if you can. Bridgett prefers a 6mm diameter, but 8mm is fine too.
If you have any of your own favorite equipment for self-bondage, please bring it as well for show-and-tell (or just show if you're shy).
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- because we are going to laugh at ourselves a bit!
As usual, there'll be a handout you can use as a reminder when you're practicing at home or at the bondage party later that evening.
This workshop assumes no previous bondage experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations.
