www.sfcitadel.org
1277 Mission Street
Between 9th and 8th Streets, closer to 9th Street
Note: This class is open to Janus members and non-members .
Cost: $5 (Janus Members) $15 (Non-Members)
About this program:
This class will survey all aspects relating to Bondage. From physical and mental safety, psychological issues, working with bondage, various styles including mummification, steel, inescapable, predicament, harnesses, painful vs. comfortable bondage, and, of course, rope. We will discuss cages, long term bondage, sensory deprivation, Vac-Rack, Suspensions, and other more restrictive bondage methods as well as answer any questions raised during the conversations.
Part of the class will include quick demonstrations (with the class members, no formal demo is planned), and (if we get through the material quickly) a section devoted to hands-on teaching of basic rope work (cuffs, wrist/ankle tie, Pearl, Karada). (Please bring some rope with you if you’d like to practice - but this isn't intended as an in-depth hands-on workshop.)
Please remember the Xplore Series is exactly that… an Exploration of different types of bondage. We won’t be going into depth about any one particular aspect of bondage, but rather give a broad overview. Hopefully the class will leave you with a wider understanding and awareness of everything in the bondage milieu as well as an understanding of additional resources for your own study and practice.
About our Presenter:
Steve's interest in bondage began with the Story of O at an early age. He enjoys both putting his partners into various bondage positions as well as the wonderful things he can do when they are helpless. Steve also enjoys laughter, bad jokes, singing, dogs and way too much Chocolate Chocolate chip Haagen Daz. Did I mention bondage.
Steve has been in the BDSM community in the Bay Area for about 15 years. Steve has taught several classes for Janus including the Bondage Overview, and he's held several Janus officer positions including Program Director, Coordinator, and Webmaster. Steve started and continues to run the Janus Community Events Calendar. He has been Janus Representative to the NCSF, NCSF webmaster, and ran KAP (Kink Aware Professionals). Steve has done shoots with BDSM websites including several Kink.com shoots under the nickname Torque.
About the Janus Xplore Series:
The Janus Xplore series is a presentation of several "overview" classes, one per month on Sunday afternoons. These classes are intended to give the participants a solid, high-level overview of one area - not an in-depth class, but a great launching point to ask questions, and really see the wide range of activities possible.
Xplore classes include: Bondage, Impact, Medical & Electrical, Emotional Aspects of Play, Psychological Play, Dominance & Submission, Sexplay & Sensation Play, and the ever popular Sampler night where you can "taste" these aspects from the hands of experienced players.
