What is a Rope Bondage Peer Workshop?
It is a rope bondage workshop, except that instead of having just one instructor whom
everybody has to follow step by step, we have lots of rope experts who have happy to
help out when asked nicely, so you can find one whose style suits your needs and level.
All we ask in return is that when someone newer still asks you, you pass on the teaching.
What to do at one
- Tie people up
- Get tied up
- Teach others how to tie people up when they ask for help
- Ask to be taught how to tie people up when that is not an interruption
- Take photos of bondage in the photo area following the photo guidelines
- Talk about rope bondage
- Wear a name badge to help people talk to you
- Watch others doing rope bondage without getting in their way
- Take equal responsibility for making this a fun and well organised event
What not to do at one
- Demand that others stop playing in order to pay attention to your elite lesson
- Demand that others stop playing in order to teach you Right Now
- Touch (including standing on) other people's ropes without their permission
- Use other people's equipment without their permission
- Touch or try to tie people up without their permission
- Try to join in an ongoing scene without both people's permission
- Get in the way of people doing bondage
- Demand absolute respectful silence for 20 feet around you
- Talk loudly about computers 2 feet away from someone tranced out
- Expect anyone else to do anything for you as a right not a courtesy
- Be discourteous
Rope Bondage Peer Workshops started a few years ago in San Francisco. This is only
the second one ever held outside the USA. And we do things a bit differently than they
do. To a large extent, by how we behave at this event, we are deciding how such things
will get done in the future. Please behave in a way that will make future workshops likely
to be fun events full of helpful courteous people doing lots of great bondage.
This is not a disco. This is not a commercial event with people paid to do stuff for you.
It is more a class than a party. Floor space and time on equipment is a scarce resource.
This is a rope bondage event, organised by rope bondage enthusiasts for rope bondage
enthusiasts. Do rope bondage! And then join the email list and help organise the next one.
