July 17th: BDSM/Kink Class- “Water Sports” with Paul & Courtney

For years Serene_X and GoldenCourtney have been exploring and using Watersports in their dynamic and BDSM play. Around the dungeon, around the house, and in the bedroom. They are here to share their experience, how to’s, and personal connection.
For them this type of play is part erotic, part humiliation, part service, and some times degradation. As a stand alone fetish or as an enhancement to “everyday” BDSM play, this kink can be edgy as fuck or adorable fun.
Class will be lecture/discussion, exploring the possibilities with lots of tips and tricks to how to find your own way with this taboo. Safety, health, emotional, and physical concerns will all be addressed.

August 21st: Rope/Shibari Workshop- “Tug-O-War” (Torture Ties) with _MrNobody & Ser0tonin

This week, @_MrNobody and @ser0tonin_ are back in The Rope Room with a “torture” tie class.
The classic game of tug-o-war illustrates how opposing forces can be used to manipulate rope. In bondage, this concept can be used to add a sadistic twist to your ties. We'll discuss and demo a few different ways to incorporate this concept, then open the floor so participants can experiment for themselves. Depending on your own skill level, you may wish to bring anywhere between 2-8 lengths of roughly 8m rope, as well as a kettlebell, full backpack, or similar weighted object you can tie. All participants are expected to have an understanding of rope safety and to be willing/able to maintain body awareness and communication in challenging ties. Self-riggers are welcome.
Format: tie-along (partner/solo)
Skills required (tops): single column, half hitch, futomomo (recommended), upline tie-off (recommended)
Skills required (bottoms): advanced body awareness, ability to communicate limits under stress
