Domination and Bondage

There are endless ways to tie someone, different combinations of rope, and kinky or non-kinky themes. In this workshop, we will explore domination and submission in the context of rope bondage.

What kind of body positions and ties encourage submission? How do we use the rope and our bodies in a dominant way? How do we submit in ropes, how do we react to impulses? What kind of archetypes or roles describe us as dominants and submissives, where can we find inspiration for our play?

Find your answers to these questions and more in this workshop. To attend, you need to already know how to tie your partner in some way. You also need to come with a person who wants to explore this dynamic with you.

Who is this event for?

LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid,

Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.

When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.

Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
