This class is for anyone who wants to try out rope in the bedroom. Special emphasis will be given on how to use rope before and during sexual play.

We will dive deep into: rope selection, safety, wrist ties, chest harnesses, a basic hog tie, and all the things you will want to know to make your rope adventures sexy and successful. There will be hands-on practice to show you how to safely and sensually tie someone up step-by-step. Plenty of one-on-one help will be provided.

This class is open to individuals and couples (and triads +) of all genders and orientations. We will work in pairs, so if you do not come with a partner, you will be paired with someone in the class.

Note: We encourage guests to bring their own rope. We will also have rope for sale at the store. If you bring your own rope, we suggest at least 2 pieces of 30 to 35 foot, 1/4 or 3/8 inch diameter rope. Also bring 2 pieces of 10 foot rope if possible. It can be any kind you like, so long as it is soft to the touch, i.e. cotton, nylon, and polyester. It is best if the rope bends without forming a ‘loop’.
