With rope we often focus on suspension, aesthetics or bedroom bondage, in this class we will pivot to something much more relatable for all of us: The Struggle.

This class explores the mechanics of creating “no-win” scenarios where the bottom is forced to choose between two equally shitty sensations or postures. Think of it as a physical “Would You Rather” game, but with more rope and less dignity.

This is a Lecture and Demo class

Presenters

MxJosiePosie (They/Them)
is a queer, gleefully sadistic asshole that has been in the kink community since 2018 and is the host of Spanktuary at Sanctuary Club, a Kink Educator and DM. Josie is a true switch who thrives on mindfucks, predicaments and sadistic rope. They enjoy both sides of the slash for impact, rope, rough body play, and sharp things. Josie graduated from Bondage Soup in 2022 as a bottom, 2023 as a top and is now an instructor for Bondage Soup. They advocate for body positivity and inclusivity in rope and kink communities. Josie believes strongly that all people that want to be in rope belong in rope and seeks to find adaptations to fit each human they tie.

Ron Swanson (they/them)
is a nonbinary butch sadist whose primary kink interests are rope and sharps. Ron is a graduate of and instructor for Bondage Soup, a 12-month progressive rope program in Portland, Oregon, and loves tying with people of all different shapes, sizes, and abilities. Ron’s background in the mental health field informs their desire to “hurt not harm” and to create space with partners that is as physically, emotionally, and psychologically safe as possible.

Doors at 6:45pm, workshop will begin at 7:15pm
