• Bondage Group: Zero to Fun on Day One, with BoundToFly

    TRS, Inc. 40 Exchange Place, 3rd Floor, New York, NY, United States

    Doors open at 7:00 pm - Meeting begins at 7:30 pm TES Members $5, Students with ID and Reciprocal Groups $10, Non-Members/Non-Reciprocal Group $20   Rope Bondage can be incredibly risky, and daunting with all those fiddly knots trying to tie all those fiddly bits. BoundToFly will be demystifying that in this very fast paced workshop (which means bring rope and everyone ties and is tied). We'll be going over terms, negotiation, consent, safety, basics of rope handling, but most importantly, how to have fun on your very first day. As someone who has been in the community for a very long time, and taken a lot of 101 classes, BoundToFly has observed that many instructors often get mired in the details and has seen eyes glaze over with boredom or confusion . . . So, we'll do all this in under 90 minutes! Come single or with a partner. come with rope if you have it, if not BoundToFly will have some available for purchase.

No requirements to attend, but it can be triggering for people.
