Torture as Connection in Rope

Torture is more than pain and stress - it is also connection and beauty. For those looking to take their sadomasochism to the next level, come learn and practice tortuous connection in rope. In this hands-on class, we will explore what makes our partners tick, cringe, feel, and cry, then learn how to exploit it. With our partners’ specific needs and desires in mind, we will build dynamic and connective scenes with torture as our instrument.

To be able to take this class, you should be comfortable with partial suspensions and managing uplines.

Bring a partner, 3-5 hanks of rope, your sadism, your curiosity, and a 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.
