CourseFoundations of Rope Bondage: Part 1
Learn the fundamental knots, single-column ties, double-column ties, and rope-handling skills that form the building blocks of rope bondage. Foundations 1 starts at the beginning and gives both tops and bottoms the technical understanding they need before moving on to harnesses and more complex rope.
CourseBefore You Tie
What you need to know before you put rope on another person—or let someone put rope on you. Rope bondage begins before the rope comes out. Learn the context, consent, safety, risk management, partner selection, negotiation, and scene-planning skills you need before learning the ties themselves.
