Boss Bondage Weekend Follow Up

Hey all,

The Reverse Tensionz BOD would like to say thank you to Boss for coming out and sharing his knowledge and intensity with us this weekend. I know some perceptions of how rope bondage can be used as a tool in your Sadistic BDSM tool bags got radically changed yesterday.

Awesome!!!

Both classes proved to be a success with a nice mix of our core group members and new faces. So to our membership, thank you so much for the support and I hope we can continue to challenge you and push your skills as Tops, Bottoms, Switches, Sadists, Masochists, and all the other orientations you can think of.

To the new folks, welcome home!
If you have any questions or ideas please feel free to contact any board member for information or to give us some feed back. If we don't have the answer to your question we can direct you to someone that does.

Without willing students none of this would be happening, you folks are walking proof that there is a vibrant scene here in Las Vegas, never let anyone tell you different.

Looking down the road we will be having the first of our monthly Rope Focus Group meetings on July 11th at the Erotic Heritage Museum. SinCity's First Church of Rope Ministries will be meeting at 4pm in the EHM's Chapel Area.

Later in July Lee Harrington will be in town teaching two classes. On Saturday July 24th, for the larger BDSM scene will be Lee's class Pain is inevitable, Suffering is Optional: Techniques for Erotic Pain Processing
Sunday July 25th Lee will be presenting Playing with the Head: Hair and Face Bondage to the rope enthusiasts in the area.

In September for the Fall Edition of the Las Vegas Rope Social, Willow and I will be taking up the reigns to teach a beginning to intermediate rope class geared for building confidence and rope handling skill levels.

Look for details to be posted in the next few days.

Once again, thank you all so much for coming out to play with us.

Peace,
Mateo

Please consider this permission and encouragement to re-post this on other appropriate board where people can benefit from the information.

About This Class
For hundreds of years the world has given us stories and images of capture and torture with rope bondage. We in the BDSM lifestyle often play around with these images, these stories and these ties, and use them in our erotic life. But do we hold true to the original intent of rope bondage, or do we dance around it?

We see many images of erotic bondage today, but have we lost the connection to the torture of rope bondage that holds that dangerous appeal that attracted us to it to begin with

This class explores the theory of rope bondage as a scene unto itself, using rope in the way it has been intended for hundreds of years, as rough capture and restraint as well as a use for the application of pain to the body.

We will discuss, demonstrate and practice using rope to create Pain to purify the body and the mind, creating catharsis. Please bring some hemp/jute rope in 4mm-6mm diameter for the hands on portion. Rope will be for sale at the class.
