Foundational Rope Bondage with NoCo RopeBite

In this class, we will be going over some 101 basics. This is an excellent place to start for those just getting into rope bondage or looking to refresh and practice their skills! We will start by covering important things to go over in negotiations and then get into the tying. The main ties covered in this class will be the single column (the foundation to almost everything rope) and the double column. We will also go over how to finish the knots to ensure they don’t collapse and a couple ways you can use the ties. After the class, we will have an open lab for the remainder of the time. If you are wanting to practice what you've learned, ask questions, or try something new, this is a great opportunity! 

Ideally you should go to a rope bite having cared for your body (arrive hydrated and well slept). Come with an open mindset and the willingness to learn and ask questions. You aren’t expected to partner with anyone or to tie during the event if you don’t want to. Advocate for yourself and your needs.

(SIGN PRIOR TO ARRIVAL)

If you have any questions prior to class, please reach out to the organizers at [email protected] or message on Fetlife at NoCORopeBite.

Requirements for this class

• Safety shears (mandatory, but can be purchased on site)
• 1-2 bundles (15ft-30ft) of rope (also for sale and we should have extra on loan, but can’t guarantee this)
• Limbs to tie (your own or another’s – If you come unpartnered, but would like to tie with someone else, we will have anyone looking to tie/top raise hands at the start of class. People looking to be tied/bottom will then have the option to approach tiers/tops if they feel comfortable and interested.)
• Note taking materials like a writing implement and paper
• Something to sit on like a yoga mat, blanket, or floor pads
• This is an 18+ only class.

A note on clothing: You can stay as clothed as you want, and it is possible to tie over baggier clothing, but may take a bit more time. Tighter fitting clothing is typically easier to tie on. Don’t wear anything with metal in it as it can either cut into you or snag on rope (ie: no bras with underwire or pants with lots of metal buttons and zippers). Anyone is allowed to get topless, but you must keep some form of underwear on your lower half. Bring some warmer items, like a blanket or jacket that you can wrap around you if you get cold between ties. If you’re tying, it’s possible you’ll run a bit warmer, and may prefer to wear clothes you’ll stay cooler in.

Organizers & Instructors:NoCO (Northern Colorado) Rope Bite has been hosting classes for a long time, but has changed hands over its years of being active. We are an educational group where you can come to learn about rope bondage. The goal of Rope Bite has always been to try and keep education affordable and accessible. We strive to keep that goal alive at our newest location with Awakening, and be a welcoming space for everyone. We aim to offer rope education for all skill levels and provide a social space for rope enthusiasts. Come learn and practice your skills alongside others and ideally gain some friends and insight along the way!

Abmith first began his journey into kink with rope about 6 years ago. He jumped in to help organize the Rope Bite back in November 2019 after some former organizers moved out of state. Aside from peak COVID times, he’s been trying to help host and create many local events, both social and educational. Abmith has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, but also deeply enjoys being able to share what he’s learned with others. He is continuing to grow all the time, and deeply enjoys being a sadistic ass when given the privilege. While being a decently prominent local organizer, he wants to stress that he hopes to continue to learn along with the community and provide spaces that feel helpful and as safe as they can be in this kinky, complicated world.

SincereThrill (Max) has been involved in sex education for six years and in kink education for three. He is passionate about both tying and being tied in rope, and has been practicing both for nearly four years. With a pension for decorative, functional, and predicament bondage, Max knows how to make a tie both look pretty and serve a purpose. He loves finding new and innovative ways to utilize rope, while constantly seeking new experiences and knowledge. As Max takes on a more active role in the local kink community as an organizer and educator, he strives to foster inclusive, safe, and welcoming spaces. He looks forward to making new friends and providing places where people can be their best, kinky selves.
