Leather 101: Contracts

This interactive workshop explores how relationship contracts can bring clarity, consent, and care to any relationship—kinky or vanilla, monogamous or poly, long-term or just beginning. Participants will learn practical tools for defining boundaries, roles, protocols, and communication in a way that supports growth, repair, and intentional connection. Come ready to reflect, write, and leave with frameworks you can actually use.

Robbie Knotts is an experienced power-exchange practitioner who approaches relationship contracts the same way he approaches D/s itself: with intention, clarity, and care. With a background in operational frameworks and years of lived kink experience, Sir Knotts helps partners turn desires, limits, and expectations into agreements that actually work in real life. He cares about this topic because contracts, done well, are how trust becomes sustainable, not just sexy.
