During a bondage session, the breathing of the tied up person is often impacted. A simple chest harness can become real torture when breathing in certain positions.
The rope is a perfect tool for breath play. The rigger can play with his or her partner’s breathing on different spots: mouth, throat, ribcage, abdomen…
After we familiarize ourselves with the precautions to be taken, we’ll experiment with effective ways of obstructing the air column…
Breath play is a powerful means of communication in ropes. In this course, we’ll explore the reactions and emotions that breath play can induce on your partner, so that we can use it appropriately in a rope session.
