We’ll spend some time talking about the sci ence and neurochemistry of BDSM-induced pain to help us create and curat e more joyful experiences for ourselves and our play partners using the delightful connection tool of pain. We will talk about some skills botto ms can use to better manage in-scene pain\, distinguish harm/damage from pain\, and communicate more effectively to Tops about pain before\, dur ing\, and after a scene. Tops should leave this class with a toolkit to better manage the pain lifecycle of a scene\, create high intensity but sustainable play regardless of your bottom’s pain tolerance on a given day\, and better read your bottom’s pain thresholds and preferences. And what would be a Boundless Class without some practical techniques on sadistic rope? :-)\n\nIf you missed the earlier classes on single colum ns\, frictions\, and connecting rope\, come right at 3pm so we can go ov er those skills again. If you'd like to help TA (and help a newer group learn some of the skills)\, please reach out!\n\nFor those who want to d rill or learn their single columns\, here are two of my favorite tutoria ls: \;https://vimeo.com/143109618 \;(Shay w/ a larks head SC) an d\n\nhttps://crash-restraint.com/ties/66 \;(Topologist's Somerville Bowline).\n\n\n\nAnytime during a Boundless event\, please feel free to opt out of the facilitated activities and tie in the designated areas (g enerally the back half of the club).\n\nBring your rope\, safety cutter\ , snacks\, and your water bottle. Dress code is something you can tie an d/or be tied in. If you are staying for the event following BRE\, please bring something you can change into. Generally\, Sanctuary has a 'dress to impress/make an effort' dresscode for most evening events.\n\nWhat i s the Boundless Rope Experience?\n\nWe aim for:\n\n A learning and labb ing environment to teach one another and explore rope in community\n An invitation to make new friends who are interested in rope\n A body neu tral and welcoming event for all\n A sober\, fun\, and potentially sexy (but not sexual) space\n Embracing all types/genres of rope without ju dgment so long as practices are consent-forward and mitigate risk of inj ury\n\nEvery month\, MxBliss will facilitate a class with the aim of spa rking conversation/debate\, sharing information\, and encouraging explor ation. While framed as a series\, you are free to drop in at any time in the series. Except for the Suspension Class\, no pre-requisites for lab bing. Also\, a tying partner is not required for any of the classes as m ost technical skills we are covering can be self-tied.\n\nBoundless Rule s:\n\n All partnered rope must be prenegotiated prior to any play/labbi ng/scene\n Uplines must be reinforced (reinforced jute or hemp) or synt hetic (Posh\, nylon\, MFP\, or other rope rated for marine\, climbing\, or rescue)\n Normal Sanctuary rules about prohibited play: i.e. No neck rope\, breath-\, race-\, rape-\, or blood-/scat-/wet- play\n No mind a ltering substances during Boundless. The bar is closed.\n If you can’ t be kind and courteous to everyone you engage with at Boundless\, consi der going to another event. Direct communication\, setting and enforcing boundaries\, and being able to say (and receive with gratitude) “No. Thank you!” are all kind and courteous behaviours at Boundless.\n\n+Pr ice: $25/$27cc.
