Workshops at the 2010 Atlanta Bound event

Bondage for Sex

at Atlanta Bound in Atlanta, Georgia

Bondage for sex isn't as simple as you might think. It's easy to make mistakes - resulting in a perfectly nice bondage scene and no ready way to make the sex part work. We'll help you avoid this frustrating experience.

This workshop will get us right into the "what is sex" debate, and we'll be using a pretty liberal definition. Rest assured that we're NOT limiting the workshop to boy-girl penis-vagina sex here. As with all of Max's workshops this workshop is appropriate for all genders and orientations.

Topics to be covered include general considerations, a few useful knots and a variety of interesting positions.

We'll have instruction. We'll have demos. And yes - we'll have plenty of hands-on practice. Sorry - the demos and practice probably won't include actual sex.

Much of the class will consist of hands-on exercises so you'll have plenty of time to practice and enjoy what you've learned. And, as always, the handout distributed at the workshop will help you when you practice at home.

If you can, come with a practice partner. If you don't have a partner, come anyway and we'll make sure you get a chance to practice the basic techniques. Rope Bottoms - this is your chance to meet some rope tops - come learn and get tied up!

Please bring the following if you can:

(4) 10-foot pieces of 5/16" (8mm) or 3/8"

(2) 30-foot pieces of 5/16" (8mm) or 3/8"

This workshop assumes no previous bondage experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations.

The Tender Bits - Male and Female Genital Bondage

at Atlanta Bound in Atlanta, Georgia

OK - enough with the wrists and ankles - let's tie up a different body part this time.

This workshop covers some particularly intimate and effective bondage techniques.

We'll start with the basics of immobilizing and tormenting boy-bits. There'll be a nice demo, information on boy-bit-safety and some thoughts on how to adapt the techniques to your own situation.

Next Max will present a variety of techniques for binding, displaying and stimulating girl-bits. There'll be a demo for this portion too.

And then we'll all practice what we've learned, so bring your genitals and your friends with genitals.

As with all of Max's workshops, there's a handout you can use as a memory aid when you're practicing at home.

Please bring two 15-20' pieces of 4 mm (1/8" or 3/16") cord if you can.

This workshop is appropriate for all skill levels and all genders / orientations. The emphasis is on learning and having fun.

Bondage from the Bottom's Perspective

at Atlanta Bound in Atlanta, Georgia

Here's something a little different - a bondage workshop that starts with headspace and works backwards to technique instead of the other way around.

We'll start off with a demo showing several types of bondage scenes. We'll pull volunteers out of the audience for this portion of the workshop.

As we exit the scenes, we'll ask the bottoms to talk about their experience and how the specific elements of the bondage impacted them physically, mentally and emotionally.

After a short break Max will present a model for categorizing bondage bottoms and will facilitate a panel discussion on the bottom's experience in bondage scenes. We'll be sure to leave plenty of time at the end for questions and discussion.

If you're looking for a "beyond technique" bondage workshop, this is for you. Hearing what's going on in someone's head when they're bound will make you a more capable bottom and a more creative top.

Plus - you might get tied up.

This workshop assumes no previous bondage experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations.
