October 10, 2024 @ 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM IN-PERSON – Breaking Down the Futo LGBT Community Center 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, United States In this lab-style workshop we will break down what a futomomo is, what makes it work, and of course what makes it fail. After working through the theory of what a futo tie is and some common elements of it, we will all come up with a brand new version of a futo and analyze it to see whether it would work or not. Suspension experience is not required for this workshop, but for those interested in it, futos will be evaluated for suitability in suspension. This class is beginner-friendly and requires only that you know how to tie a single column and a half hitch. One to two hanks of rope will be necessary. While this workshop is not presented as a self-tie activity, the futo lends itself well to being tied on oneself. Presenter Bio: Corwin is a top with a wide range of interests. He enjoys Japanese-inspired rope bondage, all manner of impact and knife play, as well as fear/sensation/humiliation/objectification play, and inflicting terrible dad jokes on his partners. Having discovered his kinky side from a newspaper cartoon at a very young age, he continues to pursue new and interesting kinks. A lifelong student, he believes kink can be viewed as a set of skills you can continue improving, from bettering your D/s communication to honing your spanking cadence. His most recent passion is community building and expanding consent-based culture in the kink scene. In 2020 Corwin opened Upline, CT's premier rope studio where he produces events and classes on a variety of kink-related topics.
