Interested in adding some bondage to your life but not sure where to start? This fun and accessible introductory class will introduce you to the basics of kink and rope bondage. By the time you’re done you’ll have all the skills you need to safely and confidently start exploring bondage on your own.
This is a bondage class rather than a knots class, so our focus is on teaching a small number of versatile techniques that you can use in all kinds of ways. All the ties in the class are easy to learn and can be used for many different play styles.
The point of bondage is to connect with your partner, so we’ll also cover fundamental kink concepts like consent, safewords, negotiation, and aftercare. To help you put it all together, we’ll have fun demos of the techniques in action, along with suggestions for how to figure out what kind of kink works best for you.
The 38 page color handout includes all the class material as well as additional ties to practice at home.
Practical details
This class is most fun if you take it with a partner.
We’ll provide practice rope if you don’t have your own.

Module 1: The Single Column Tie
The single column tie is the single most useful bondage technique. If this is the only technical skill you ever learn, you’ll still know everything you need to have a great time doing bondage.
Once you’ve learned the single column tie, we’ll use it to tie the kneeling position. It’s a super-versatile position that’s great for sex, dominance and submission, spanking, and many other types of kinky play.
Module 2: Hands Behind Head
In this module we’ll learn the ladder rung and the bar tie, two related techniques that we find ourselves using constantly in the bedroom. With those techniques, you’ll be ready to tie the hands behind head position, a fun position that provides great access and immobilization.
Unsure what to do with your new bondage skills? We’ll also talk about how to negotiate a good scene and how to figure out what kinds of kink you do and don’t like.
Module 3: Tying Off and Crab
The crab position is our favorite position for having sex. It’s a versatile position that can adapt to a wide range of body types and activities.
The best way to really immobilize your partner is to tie them to the bed. We’ll look at some basic techniques for tying off and discuss how to apply them to the crab position.
