Three people, two tops, one bottom, and a lot going on. Co-topping is playful, complex, and requires a particular kind of attention to your partner top, to the bottom, to the rope, and to what’s emerging between everyone in the space. In this hands-on workshop,

Ceci, Nana, and Peppi explore what it actually takes to tie in a trio: how to share a bottom, how to communicate without breaking the flow, and how to make something that feels cohesive rather than chaotic (unless that’s what you’re going for). You’ll work in trios and get to try it yourself: switching roles, experimenting with different dynamics, and figuring out what co-topping can look like for you.
