ROPE BONDAGE PEER WORKSHOP F.A.Q.

What is a Rope Bondage Peer Workshop?

It is a rope bondage workshop, except that instead of having just one instructor whom everybody has to follow step by step, we have lots of rope experts who have been happy to help out when asked nicely, so you can find one whose style suits your needs and level. All we ask in return is that when someone newer still asks you, you pass on the teaching.

What to I do at one?

Tie people up. Get tied up. Teach others how to tie people up when they ask for help. Ask to be taught how to tie people up when that is not an interruption. Take photos of bondage in the photo area following the photo guidelines. Talk about rope bondage. Wear a name badge to help people talk to you. Watch others doing rope bondage without getting in their way. Take equal responsibility for making this a fun and well organised event.

What don't I do at one?

Demand that others stop playing in order to pay attention to your elite lesson. Demand that others stop playing in order to teach you Right Now. Touch (including standing on) other people's ropes without their permission. Use other people's equipment without their permission. Touch or try to tie people up without their permission. Try to join in an ongoing scene without both people's permission. Get in the way of people doing bondage. Demand absolute respectful silence for 20 feet around you. Talk loudly about computers 2 feet away from someone tranced out. Expect anyone else to do anything for you as a right not a courtesy. Be discourteous.

When is it?

Third Sunday of the month, Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct.

What do I need to bring / wear?

Your Ceasars membership card or the requirements to join (see Ceasars website)
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Many prefer to strip down to whatever they feel decent in.
A mat or rug is useful for floor bondage.
Rope. If you don't have it, there'll probably be someone there with some to spare. If you do have it and can bring enough to share, that's a bonus.

Rope Bondage Peer Workshops started a few years ago in San Francisco. This is only the third one ever held outside the USA. And we do things a bit differently than they do. To a large extent, by how we behave at this event, we are deciding how such things will get done in the future. Please behave in a way that will make future workshops likely to be fun events full of helpful courteous people doing lots of great bondage. This is not a disco. This is not a commercial event with people paid to do stuff for you. It is more a class than a party. Floor space and time on equipment is a scarce resource. This is a rope bondage event, organised by rope bondage enthusiasts for rope bondage enthusiasts.

Do rope bondage! And then join the email list and help organise the next one. Next Workshop...? To date, workshops have been held at three monthly intervals on the same day as the BBB. Whether this continues depends on factors such as: Availability of a venue (Caesars has been provided free by its owner, a generous gesture that is greatly appreciated) Willingness of volunteers to help organise the necessary policies equipment and people. Last but not least, the willingness of everyone who attends to contribute something. That could be handing out flyers at a munch, voting on policies, or bringing whatever you are able to enhance the workshop, whether that be a few packets of crisps, or equipment such as photographic, suspension frames, spare rope, reference books.
