Virtual Workshop -Exposure and Objectification in Shibari- with Serene_X and GoldenCourtney

This romantic, fantasy, of lustful objectification, bondage, exposure and “submission”, shapes what, a lot of us, think of as Shibari or Erotic Rope Bondage.

Tickets at https://www.obligerope.org/leap-livestream

In this workshop:

• We will talk plainly about these roots, the myths around shibari and our realized fantasy that has evolved today.
• Together we will tie and explore a few of the shapes derived from what we think of as the origins of Shibari.
• With this discussion and these exercises we will bring in our own world views and fantasies around the fetishization of “Japanese” Rope Bondage.

This class is for all skill levels, designed to be partner tied, though extremely worth while for all those interested in rope bondage with or with out a tying partner.

It will be helpful for attendees to have some basic rope knowledge. Email us Obligerope@gmail.com for Basics and Fundamentals recording.

This class will be part lecture, part see & do (tie along) and part demo.

Virtual Class 7-8:45(ish) Eastern Time Zone

LGBTQIA+ and friends welcomed

LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity. These include lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender and other non-mainstream identifying folx not mentioned. 

“Friends” are people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respect needs of and boundaries of a queer safe space. They recognize the necessity of these spaces and support them. 

“Friends” to LGBTQIA+ folx show, acknowledge and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression.

“Friends” do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. 

“Friends” actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns.

“Friends” have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ folx and are aware of heterosexual and cisgender privileges. 

We don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. Oblige simply asks that attendees stay open minded, act pro-actively, and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.

Hope to see you in the chat. Be safe and stay kinky.
