Knowing how to tie a knot is easy. Figuring out how to turn those knots into a seamless, experience with another person without accidentally killing the vibe? That’s the hard part.
Come watch us do a live, unscripted rope scene while we say the quiet parts out loud.
We’re putting our communication on display so you can see exactly what goes on behind the scenes.
We’ll show you the exact mechanics of a negotiation, how we plan the arc of a scene, and exactly what we are thinking about while we tie or get tied.
What this class is: A transparent, look-under-the-hood breakdown of the mental and emotional heavy lifting that makes a rope scene actually work.
What this class is not: A pristine, perfectly rehearsed performance where nothing goes wrong. (If someone gets a leg cramp, you will hear about it.) 😉

Presenters
MxJosiePosie (They/Them)
is a queer, neurodivergent, gleefully sadistic asshole that has been in the kink community since 2018 and is a Co-host of Spanktuary, 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 and 2023 as a top. 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 for 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.
