Strings & Stings: Rope and Whips with TieMeTightly (intermediate)

Doors open:10:30am

Let’s explore bondage for impact, specifically spicy sensations employing our bare hands, whips and canes. The nervous system loves a cocktail of sensations, not to be left in a monotone drone of play. In this workshop, we will be exploring sensational pathways to light up the neurons and elevate the blood flow. Partners do not necessarily have to identify as Sadists and Masochists in order to include impact in their play. The intention here is to combine elements in order to elevate the senses, deepen the play and the connection between us. It is not required that couples have previous experience with impact play though it is certainly a benefit if you have previous experience communicating through challenging experiences together.  

Rigger prerequisites: experience following patterns and building harnesses, proficient upline building and management, confident in rope communication skills, knowledge of safety and risk in rope.

Bottom prerequisites: confident in-rope communication skills, knowledge of safety and risk in rope, confident ability to monitor and communicate signs of nerve compression.
