Bondage skills
- You’ll learn a number of basic knots and ties with which you can experiment and combine endlessly.
- We look at which materials are suitable: which types of rope, possible accessories that come in handy.
- Butterfly discusses anatomy and safety: what risks should you avoid, what do you pay attention to during your scene, what signals from the body should you take seriously, what about nerves and any physical risks, how do you check during the interaction if your partner is okay?
Atmosphere of the workshop
Butterfly makes an effort to be an inclusive teacher. No matter your age, gender, orientation, body type - everyone is welcome.
