Rope Handling: Smoothing out the Kinks

Do you want to control your ropes better? Are looking for techniques to help you tie more quickly or with better flow? If so, this is the class for you. In this hands-on class for all levels, you will learn how to better control your tension and flow. Using exercises and practice techniques, we will explore how to most effectively control your rope to tie more efficiently and with more fluidity.

To participate in this class, you must know how to tie a single column.

This class is designed for partnered tying but some aspects can be adapted for self-tying. You should bring two to three hanks of rope (30ft hanks) and your cutting tool.

About the Presenters

Sassy (sassy_masochist) began her rope journey in 2015, and quickly discovered a love for both topping and bottoming. Over the years, she has had the opportunity to learn many different rope styles from around the world and is always eager for new educational opportunities. While primarily a rope educator, Sassy's classes often aim to destigmatize kink and help kinksters make adjustments in their play to accommodate their body's specific needs. Always looking to improve her skills and develop her own style, Sassy considers herself a lifelong student and is eager to keep teaching and learning from her peers in the future.

Living up to her name, Tori (FearlesMasochist) has a rope bottoming career spanning over 7 years, across multiple communities involving diverse and intense sadistic rope styles; most recently expanding into education with several classes across the US and at EURIX. She is a big advocate for community and is a mentor with the New England Mentorship Program (a kink mentorship program in New England). Tori has developed a deep dedication to masochism, from what started as a bedroom spanking fetish and a love of contact sports. Always up for a challenge, she can be seen hanging upside down from a rig somewhere in Boston.
