The Workshop

If you and your partner are passionate about exploring intense and thrilling sensations, such as aibunawa or semenawa, then this workshop is an excellent opportunity for you. By participating in this workshop, you will gain the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively incorporate these types of play into your bondage sessions, resulting in a more profound and exhilarating experience.

This workshop is designed to offer a balanced mix of longer and shorter ties, ranging from simple yet captivating techniques to more intricate full body ties. Throughout the workshop, we will incorporate the use of bamboo to enhance the beauty and creativity of your tying and we will use uplines to play with the third-rope-dimension. For the more complex full body ties, there will be plenty of time to experiment, play around, and ask for personal feedback and adjustments. We’ll also flirt with ‘torture ties’, predicaments and slow suffering.

In this workshop, our emphasis is on achieving both physical and emotional intensity. Our focus remains on traditional Japanese rope bondage and the endless possibilities it offers for enhancing your personal play.

Despite what the title suggest, this is a clothes on workshop but we have no doubt you will use your new skills creatively in private.

Questions?

We have compiled a list, FAQ, of the most common questions. Is the answer to your question there?

Is the workshop price per couple or per person?2023-12-02T08:04:22+01:00

When you register for one of the RopeMarks workshops you purchase a ticket for a couple.  A couple can be any combination of two people of any gender.

How long should my rope be?2024-02-02T13:32:10+01:00

For Japanese style bondage the general consensus is to use rope that is approximately 8m long. This is not a hard number (something we will address in our workshops) and you can vary as needed. If you tie a bigger body you might have benefit to use a slightly longer rope (8-8.5m) and if you tie a small body you might benefit from a shorter rope (7.5-8m), ymmv.

Can we switch?2022-03-24T09:07:06+01:00

We do not prohibit switching during the workshop but we do not recommend it. Our workshops are generally not set up with the time to do the ties twice. When switching is possible we will specifically mention this in the workshop description.

I need a partner (model or rigger)2022-08-01T08:48:01+02:00

Our workshop are designed for, occasion, couples only. The combination of the couple, MF, MM, FF, is of no concern. If you like to participate but need a partner, model or rigger, the internet offers ways to connect you. One way that we know we know that works is to place an advertisement in the “Bondage partners Nederland” or “Bondage workshop matchmaking” group on FetLife. If you don’t know FetLife it’s the Facebook for kinksters.

I need rope.2022-03-24T09:08:41+01:00

If you need rope, follow this link: https://www.ropemarks.com/rope/.

Please order at least one week in advance. I need a few days to prepare your rope and I might not be able to to do this last minute. 

 

 

Can I borrow rope?2021-11-04T16:50:45+01:00

It is not possible to borrow rope. You need to bring your own ropes to the workshop.

If you need rope, follow this link: https://www.ropemarks.com/rope/

Order at least one week in advance. I need a few days to prepare your rope and I might not be able to to do this last minute. Please make sure you are well prepared!

How much rope do I need?2021-11-04T17:21:05+01:00

For every workshop a different number of ropes is needed, please read the workshop description.

In general, the more advanced you get, the more ropes you will want, and very often need, to use. When you enter the rope-suspension arena even more ropes are needed and wanted. 

Some numbers that I found that work are:

4 ropes = beginners set
8 ropes = intermediate set
12 ropes = advanced set
15 ropes = you have elevated to the supreme level 🙂

Having a few shorter pieces rope in your rope-kit can come in handy, ie. 2m and 4m.

If your question is not in the workshop text or our FAQ please send a mail to workshop@ropemarks.com
