Hi All!

Since the shibaricon website does not yet have class descriptions, I thought I would post here.

=============

"Sadism with Rope: Comfort Schmomfort"
Friday 5/26 3:30PM
Level: Advanced

One part motivational speech, one part round table,
and one part open lab, this session explores the how
and why of making ties that challenge the subject. We
will blur the line between Bondage and Sadomasochism,
and explore various ways to make bondage itself
erotically painful.

Attendees will be taught a secret hand sign they can
flash at each other whenever someone else at the con
mentions, "comfortable bondage."

"It's a Cinch: Tight Ties and Immobilization"
Sunday 5/28 1PM
Level: Intermediate

For some people, there is nothing more exquisite than
the feeling of binding or being bound extremely
tightly. This class explores the mental and physical
aspects of very tight bondage and allows students to
see first hand why hemp rope is well suited for this
purpose. The class will cover good and bad areas for
tight body wraps as well as techniques for cinching to
a pole, post, or chair.

In the second part of the class, the instructor will
cover further methods of immobilization including limb
suspension ties where the subject's torso remains on
the ground. Break out your school uniforms as the
instructor shows how grade-school geometry and physics
can help you immobilize your subjects.
