Thigh'd and Bound:

Class Description: 

Lower body harnesses are versatile: a handle for rough body play, an anchor for bedroom bondage, a foundational support for suspension… the list goes on & on! This class will cover a thigh harness that is both decorative and highly functional, evenly distributing load on the ground & in the air. 

The majority of the class will be on the ground, walking through the harness and then tying-along. We will also show attachment points and briefly demo its versatility in suspension. 

This harness may self-tie friendly, depending on your body & ability to manage tension. 

Pre-requisites and Supplies Needed:

• Persons tying must be able to tie a non-collapsing single column tie without assistance, and be familiar with foundational rope skills such as joining rope, reverse tension and basic knots & frictions. Those wishing to try it in the air must already have suspension experience. 
• Persons in rope must have good body awareness & ability to differentiate good rope pain from bad rope pain. 
• Those self-tying must have both sets of prerequisites. 
• 2-3 hanks of rope suitable for human bondage & appropriate cutting tool.
• Creature comforts (note taking supplies, blanket/yoga mat, favorite snacks/drinks, etc)

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:
SnapAndRun (aka GingerSnap - she/they) and RunsForSnap (aka Run - he/they) started their rope journey almost 10 years ago. In addition to presenting and performing nationwide, they are active in their local community, offering a variety of rope classes and  leading monthly rope jams. GingerSnap is a sensualist and sadist who expresses her creativity & passion through rope. Rope allows her to be completely present in the moment & connected to the person she is tying. Run is a brat and a pain slut. As a bottom and while self-suspending, he enjoys the physicality and headspace that he achieves while in rope.
