Restricting someone’s body itself builds up a physical sense of power exchange, but the interaction between people sharing the experience can be more or less defined by other elements that create and uphold the power dynamic. In this workshop we will go towards these other elements in a context of rope bondage session.

You will need an enthusiastic partner to play with, no matter if you are together familiar with power exchange or not. This workshop is multilevel, so you can tie on your shared skill level and there are no specific tying technique requirements. We will do exercises based on your negotiated desires, then look into how you can together build a strong experience for each other when playing and how to close a session with aftercare. Bring a blindfold with you if using one feels appealing.
