SUMMARY:Chair Bondage
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will start with a 30 minute lecture on the historical context and origins of homoerotic cowboy rope bondage. We will discuss anti-LGBTQ+ laws and homophobic tendencies throughout Cowboy Country in the end of the 20th century/beginning of the 21st century primarily focusing on Texas and Wyoming. We will analyze the origins and development of the porn site guysinbondage.com circa 2003 and social media posts of its founder @tie.me_tight who passed away in 2021. We will conclude with a discussion over sexual agency and homophobic cooping mechanisms via the constructs of hypermasculinity\, anonymity\, and the perception of nonconsent/rape fantasy imbedded in this subculture of the gay community and western rope bondage. \nFollowing the lecture will be a 30-minute practical demonstration of the technical skills found in cowboy rope bondage specifically chair bondage.  We will discuss stylistic and technical differences in western cowboy rope bondage vs Japanese rope bondage. \nThe workshop will conclude with practical hands-on practice. There will be step-by-step follow-along instruction through the chair tie pattern followed by instruction for the bandana gagging/blindfolding. \nPrerequisites: The hands-on practical section will NOT be suitable for individual self-tying. However\, individuals without a partner are still encouraged to participate in observations and conversations. \nWhat is needed for the hand-on practical section? \n\n\n30ft+ x3 hanks of rope \n\n\n25ft+ x7 hanks of rope \n\n\n12ft+ x1 hank of rope \n\n\n8 bandanas  (22in sq) \n\n\nSome loaner rope will be available to borrow if you do not have these supplies. \nDisclaimer: Presentation includes images depicting sexual violence and CNC/rape fantasy.
