The FAT Lab & Jam

Are you tired of feeling like your body doesn’t fit the narrow imagery of bondage? So are we. This is a rope jam for people who dress in sizes 44 and up.

Because we want a space that celebrates the fact that not only can all of us tie and be tied, but we look gorgeous doing it. And because we want a space where we can help each other and share knowledge specifically about tying fat bodies. In an environment where we are not the exception but the norm.

Ceci Ferox is available during the jam to help and give ideas. They have experience and knowledge in tying fat and heavy bodies both from inside and outside the ropes.

Note: There is no suspension possible, the jam will be floor work based.

If you can buy clothes in normal clothes stores, please make sure to give extra space for the experiences and voices of those with bigger bodies than yours.

Who is welcome?

People who dress in sizes 44 or larger because smaller sizes do not fit their body. Yes, you can bring your smaller rope partner with you. No, you can not come alone if you dress in sizes that are smaller than 44 or only dress in those sizes because you like “baggy” clothes.

Please contact us if you have any questions or needs about accessibility!

Safety Concept & Regulation

Please consult our safety concept and regulations for this event here.

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.
