Topics of discussion include questions YOU want the answers to:
'What is Shibari?' (Ok, we'll give this one to you. It means 'to tie' in Japanese)
'I am new to all of this and want to learn more. Where do I start?'
'What is the best tie to learn for a beginner?'
'How can I know if it's safe?''How can I figure out if Shibari is right for me?'
'What steps can I take to follow rules of consent?''How can I most effectively negotiate with my partner to identify and express my desires and limits?'
'What rope should I buy?'
'What kind of ties do I need to know?'
'As a top or bottom, how can I do a good job?
'There will also be opportunity to gain hands-on experience for learning some of the following ties:
Wrist/Ankle Cuff
Hand Cuffs
Futomoto
Hog Tie
Chest Harnesses including Takate Kote and many others
Improvisational Ties that respect the bottom's comfort
