Giving Head (Rope):

Class Description: 

Hold your breath, because we're going to get deep into the details of tying rope on the head. We'll talk anatomical logistics before tying ties for the face, mouth, hair of various lengths and types, tongue, ears, and the whole head.

Pre-requisites/Additional Materials:

• No pre-reqs! This is NOT a substitute for Rope 101, and participants will be most successful if they've already had a 101, but this class is beginner friendly, even if you've never touched rope before

• Rope (can be borrowed, but borrowed rope can not be used in the mouth)

• Suitable for self-tiers, partnered, and group rope

Attendees without the required pre-requisites may audit (or be asked to audit) by watching without tying along. Due to time constraints, the presenters will be unable to reteach the pre-requisites.

About the Presenters:
SnappedGinger (she/her) is a feisty good girl, pain slut, and rope enthusiast. When she’s not meeting new people, being bossed around, or off on a tangent about the validity of self-tying, you’ll likely find her playing for catharsis and headspace. SnappedGinger started exploring rope as a bottom before accidently discovering her niche as a self-suspender. Now, she also tops rope. She loves sharing her experiences from all roles for a holistic approach to rope.

Knot-My-Problem, Aaron, is a rope switch who finds comfort in compression, tease in tension, and serenity in suspension. A very kinesthetic and chronically overstimulated human, Aaron was drawn to the hands-on aspect of rope for the head and body relief that comes with focusing on the precise movements, structured patterns, and deep connection between rigger and rope bottom. Whether tying or being tied, he finds a meditative stillness in the rhythm of rope, allowing him to channel restless energy into intentional movement and mindful exploration. His current goal is to work up to self-suspension.

Play Party

Any play (within LNK venue guidelines) is welcome at this party! Party rules can be reviewed at louisvillenk.com/rules. At this party, the venue will be set up with rope in mind. Extra floor play space and hardpoints will be set up, though the usual furniture (crosses, benches, etc) will be available too. Have a question at the party or need some help making the space work for your scene? Talk to an event team member, identifiable by their bright yellow lanyards and safety shears! 

Our venue offers:

• play furniture (A frame style rigs, athletic mats, spanking benches, St. Andrews style crosses, etc)

• luggage racks to store personal items and equipment

• social area

• snack bar and Keurig machine (food and beverage can also be brought in)

Is this your first time? Don't worry, we'll be gentle! An event team member will give you a welcome orientation tour to show you with the space layout and highlight some of the most important rules and etiquette!

Event Rules and Expectations:

• LNK Rules & Ban Lists: All LNK rules, ban lists, and expectations apply to our events in addition to any that we set. Please be sure to review these rules linked in the ticket confirmation. 
  

• Consent: Be sure to negotiate BEFORE touching someone and/or someone's belongings AND before having a rope experience with someone, even at classes. If you're not sure how to navigate consent and negotiations, please ask SnappedGinger or event staff (identifiable by the yellow lanyards).

• RACK Space: Interact at your own risk. If you have questions or concerns at the event, please talk to SnappedGinger or event staff.

• Photos: Photos are allowed as long as EVERYONE in the photo consents to being in the photo. This includes people in the background! Blurring them out later is NOT a solution. The photo should not be taken if any part of anyone's body appears in the frame without their consent.
