Japanese Rope Bondage

SUSPENSION BASICS

In this course we move from floorwork into the world of suspensions, and learn how to make this transition in a safe and fun way.

We will focus on ways of tying the upper body for suspension use. We will practice up-lines and lock-offs and several specific suspensions, plus playful ties on the floor.

We also dive deeper into the features that make Japanese bondage such an intimate, juicy, beautiful, and sometimes transformative experience - from delightful moments of bliss, through erotic play to the beauty in suffering.

We go further into concepts like:

  • Intimacy and non-verbal communication through ropes

  • Aesthetics and the beauty of rope bondage

  • The dynamics of power and surrender

  • Polarization and presence

  • Consent and being confident in communicating your boundaries

  • Body movement in ropes

  • Safety and nerves

   

WHO IS THIS FOR

This course is for you who already have basic skills in Japanese Rope Bondage. The rigger needs to have some experience in technical ties for floorwork and rope play, and to be able to tie a Gote in a precise and safe way. The model needs to have some experience in being tied.

If in doubt, contact us for more information in info@houseofplay.dk.

If everyone in the course speaks Danish, we will do that, otherwise we'll speak English.

Please note: You need to sign up as a couple, where one is being tied and the other ties, throughout the course. That’s because we want to prepare you for being able to do suspensions, which requires a certain level of technical understanding on how to tie and to be tied in a safe way.

If you want to join, but don’t have a rope partner, contact us and maybe we can help.

The course is for all genders and sexual orientations.
