Women's Rope Class

This is a class for all women who live full time as women and FTM, genderqueer and intersexed persons who feel that they still have links to women's communities. As a female rope switch I find that more often than not that women end up in rope rather than tying even though they have equal or more advanced skills than the guy doing the rigging. There is nothing wrong with women being tied by men (I do it all the time), but this class is designed to encourage women to step up and build their confidence as the awesome riggers they are or can be. With that being said, here's what this class will cover:

This is a 5 hour rope class for women (as defined above) who are interested in learning rope bondage. We will cover the basic foundation for getting started as a rope top with a few bonuses at the end. It will include the following:

- types of ropes and lengths
- what should be in a basic rope kit
- safety/precautions
- negotiation/communication/consent
- single column ties
- double column ties
- chest harnesses
- ebi/gyaku ebi ties (shrimp and hog ties)
- hip harnesses
- good body mechanics to avoid injury when tying larger people
- how to demonstrate physical dominance when you're smaller than the person you are playing with

The class will be capped at 16 students total (tops and bottoms). There are no gender restrictions regarding the rope bottoms for this class, so if you have a male partner you can bring them as your rope bottom.
