7:30 PM - 10:00 PM Bondage Group: Zero to Fun on Day One, with BoundToFly July 19, 2016 @ 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM Bondage Group: Zero to Fun on Day One, with BoundToFly 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.

Waterboarding is the torture technique that tricks the victim’s brain into believing it is drowning by using an understanding of human anatomy and as little as a cup of water. Alex and Madeline will cover what waterboarding is and is not, because of the large number of misconceptions out there. They will give some historical and current event context to the various techniques, talk about safety and what the realistic risks associated with waterboarding, and what to expect from a person experiencing waterboarding. They will demonstrate three primary techniques (rag over mouth, rag in mouth, and forcing liquid into the sinuses) with some variation on each, then answer the large number of questions that usually come up. No requirements to attend, but it can be triggering for people.
