Does the idea of restraint turn you on? Want to learn the building blocks of rope bondage? This comprehensive 3-hour class combines some of the most popular content in Stella Harris’ bondage arsenal! You’ll learn how to use rope to build intimacy and connection while you’re tying, and tricks to help you build confidence as a beginner and beyond.
In part one, you’ll learn (or get a refresher on) basic safety and bondage-focused negotiation, along with the single-column tie and double-column tie — fundamentals to create many bondage positions and hot scenarios.
After a break, we’ll jump into part two, where we’ll work through a series of exercises that allow tying partners focus on each other and their shared experience. We’ll cover more advanced ties like a “chest harness,” ways to make rope the whole point of your scene, as well as how to use rope to facilitate other kinds of play, like impact, pressure points, sensation, and yes, even sex.
As a special bonus, class attendees will receive a free copy of Stella’s rope bondage e-book, which includes step-by-step instructions and full-color photos of the ties covered in class, plus more ties and positions. With this resource, you’ll be able to practice what you’ve learned in class and continue your home study.
