Rope Jam | Lingerie Jam - Beginner Friendly

ABOUT

Taster Jam - Lingerie

You read right! This is a beginner jam with a theme. We love exploring different sensations and ways of playing/engaging with rope. Lingerie is sexy and often seen as incredibly feminine, but in this jam, we hope to challenge that notion. Come as you are, regardless of your gender identity, and dress up in lingerie that makes you feel sexy, powerful, or just embodied. We encourage everyone to explore and have fun at this jam with us while we deconstruct the cis-tem. We will have our heating running at a comfy toasty capacity so there should be no worries about freezing any limbs.

Absolute beginners and experienced rope practitioners are welcome at this jam (this means of course no prior experience with rope is required). Beginner jams are focused on creating a safe and educational space to explore rope among our space holders and peers which isn't tuition-based. This means lower commitment while you figure out what rope is for you and how you would like to progress with it, if at all. We also hope to provide a calm and social space where you can have fun in a low-pressure environment.

We encourage attendees to get input on their technique from more experienced riggers and bottoms.

Description 

Embodiment Rope Space is a welcoming and safe(r) space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies. We practice rope communally and host occasional workshops for upskilling the community. Rope is never safe, there are only ways to do it more safely.

Absolute beginners and experienced rope practitioners are welcome. Rope Jams are spaces where you can come and practice rope tying in a peer-to-peer setting. Singles, couples, throuples, etc. are all welcome. Switching is allowed and encouraged. 

There will be beginner tuition for basic knots and space for experienced folks to tie if they do not want to participate in the tuition component. We encourage attendees to get input on their technique from more experienced riggers and bottoms. 

Events start promptly at 19:00. Please DM us via Instagram if you are running late. Doors open at 18:40 and are closed at 19:10. We will be strict about this because late-coming can be very disruptive to those in the space. Pre-booking is essential (cash on the night is available by arrangement via Instagram DM). Please have your tickets ready to be scanned on arrival. 

We have limited treated rope from Sudo Jute for sale and safety shears. Non-alcoholic drinks (Coke, water, tea, coffee) will also be for sale. 

Come dressed however you like - comfy, sexy, sporty, fetish. As long as your booty is covered, you are welcome here. While we advocate for you to come dressed as you feel comfortable, we would love to encourage all our attendees to add some flair with some lingerie at this jam. We would like to remind everyone to still dress comfortably and that there is no pressure to put yourself in an unwanted uncomfortable situation.

FAQ

What is Shibari/Kinbaku/Bondage? 

The art of binding the body of a consenting adult. 

Is rope always sexual?

Rope has many benefits and practitioners outside of the sexual paradigm. For some, it is about pushing their bodies not unlike engaging in strenuous exercise or extreme sports. For some, it is a way to reclaim their agency after trauma. For some, it is a way to experience a connection with others without the scripts and expectations associated with genital contact. As long as what you are doing is consensual and intentional, we consider it healthy and valid.

What should I wear?

This is a friendly learning environment, not a sexual one, so crotches are to remain covered. Other than that, you are free to wear whatever you like. We find that it is easier to tie with minimal clothing or clothing that you can move in easily (leggings, shorts, etc.). For this jam, however, we encourage attendees to come bring lingerie they feel comfortable to be dressed in.
