Hit Me Up: Tie Me Down - Intermediate Precarious Predicaments

Come learn some ways to make your bottoms wiggle and squirm with predicaments!

Hit Me Up: Tie Me Down - Intermediate Precarious Predicaments

You've learned some cute ties, but now you want to learn to make someone squirm. The beauty of predicaments is that no matter which way they wiggle, your bottom is going to feel.... something. The struggle is amusing and relief is debatable.

In this class we will discuss what makes a predicament and how to create tension with rope. We will start with a floor tie and then a couple variations of partial suspensions to add to the wiggling. We will cover adding elements like hair rope, toe rope, gags and bamboo. There will be some smaller diameter jute rope that is great for hair rope available for use during class, and if you really like using it you can buy it after class.

This class is labeled at intermediate, which means you are solid with your single column and double column ties. But, this class is beginner friendly in the way that you do not need to know any specific harnesses to participate. We will also go over uplines and how to best utilize them for this type of scene.

All bodies are welcome! There will be modifications offered for all body types and flexibility.

FAQs

What should I bring?

Bring your full rope kit (this should include full lengths, half lengths of rope) as well as your prefered rigging equipment (strap, ring and or carabiners) and cutting shears. You should also bring a fabric blind fold/gag and smaller rope if you have it (4mm or twine is ideal!)

What should I wear?

Whatever you feel comfy in! Bodysuits, shorts or snug fitting workout clothes are generally perfect for classes. Please just keep your bottoms on!

Any pre-requisite skills needed?

Tops: As this is labeled an intermediate class, you should be confident about your single column and double column ties. You should also have solid knowledge of basic frictions. If you need a refresher before class, review some of the videos here: www.youtube.com/@TrixieLaPointe

Bottoms: You must feel comfortable being bound in challenging positions but also skilled at communicating your needs.

Can I attend solo, or do I need to come with a partner?

This class will be limited to 10 pairs - no solo tickets will be sold so you must come with a partner. Please note - if you are planning to switch, there might not be enough time for you to try every tie twice.
