Bondage doesn’t have to be comfortable! This class will teach you versatile and safer techniques for hurting your partner with rope and using bondage to enhance any kind of pain play.

Painful bondage should reliably produce the right amount of sensation without causing damage, so we’ve chosen techniques that work with almost any body type and can be adjusted to whatever intensity level you’re looking for. Whether you’re a serious sadomasochist or just want to add some discomfort to your play, you’ll find techniques that work well for your play style.

To help you stay safe, we’ll talk about the anatomy of pain play and how to tell the difference between safe pain and dangerous pain. We’ll also cover some great techniques for processing pain and moving in rope to improve your ability to handle and enjoy challenging ties. And to make sure you have fun, we’ll teach you a versatile set of skills for improving any kind of pain play.

The extensive color handout includes all the class material as well as additional ties to practice at home.

Module 1: The Calf Binder

We’ll begin with the calf binder, which is one of our favorite techniques for using rope to cause pain. As we explore the calf binder, we’ll start to develop a deeper understanding of pain itself.

Module 2: Using Pain Effectively

Now that we understand a bit about pain itself, let’s explore how to use it effectively. We’ll use the waist to thigh position and the toe crusher as jumping off points for discussing how to deliver pain with precision, how to process pain, and how to communicate during a pain scene.

We’ll also learn the hojo cuff and the captured overhand cuff, two useful techniques for assembling a bondage position.

Module 3: Building a Scene

We’ll finish up by putting it all together to create an entire scene based on pain. We’ll use the ebi position as a jumping off point for discussing negotiation, pacing, and scene structure.
