Bondage Classes & Dungeon Party - June 2011

Start Spreading The Word....

Max of Seattle is returning to the Lounge to teach another four intoxicating bondage classes and to be our guest of honor for our June Dungeon Players Party. Max's classes have a price increase at the end of this month and his classes are all pre sale tickets only, to save yourself money and to ensure you make the guest list, you'll want to write me for ticketing information ASAP. Information on each class, what to expect and what to bring can be found by reading further along for the event descriptions.

Max's last round of classes at the Lounge were all 2 hours and due to their popularity, this time round all of his classes are 2.5 hours long, giving you even more skill set development time with this guru. Come alone or be partnered up, it will all work out.


Max's classes are:

1. High Security Rope Bondage
2. Bondage For Sex
3. Bondage 201
4. Mean Rope for Sadists and Masochists along with an evening party

Ever had someone "escape" from your bondage? Have you ever managed to get away - or not get away - from someone else's bondage? Whatever your orientation, bondage is all about escape, and this workshop focuses on playing with that "escape energy".

If you're a rope top, you'll learn - and see - a wealth of techniques you can use to make your bondage more secure. If you're an aspiring escapee, you'll get a chance to add to your "tools and tricks" repertoire. And if you just want a good show, come watch us pit those two skills against each other.

Most of our time will be spent using people from the audience to demonstrate ways to make rope bondage more escape-proof.

Bottoms will have an opportunity to wriggle their way out while we analyze their technique. We may have opportunities for tops to test their mettle too. And there's a handout you can use as a reminder when you're practicing at home.

Since the class will be structured as a demo, there's no need to have a practice partner, to bring rope or to have any prerequisite skills. If you're interested, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to participate. If you'd rather just watch, there will be plenty of entertainment. Rope Bottoms - this is a great chance to get tied up and to showcase your escape skills.

As always, the emphasis is on learning and having fun.

This workshop is appropriate for all skill levels and all genders / orientations.

Bondage for sex isn't as simple as you might think. It's easy to make mistakes - resulting in a perfectly nice bondage scene and no ready way to make the sex part work. We'll help you avoid this frustrating experience.

This workshop will get us right into the "what is sex" debate, and we'll be using a pretty liberal definition. Rest assured that we're NOT limiting the workshop to boy-girl penis-vagina sex here. As with all of Max's workshops this workshop is appropriate for all genders and orientations.

Topics to be covered include general considerations, a few useful knots and a variety of interesting positions.

We'll have instruction. We'll have demos. And yes - we'll have plenty of hands-on practice. Sorry - the demos and practice won't include actual sex -you'll have to stay for the party to practice the sex part.

Much of the class will consist of hands-on exercises so you'll have plenty of time to practice and enjoy what you've learned. And, as always, the handout distributed at the workshop will help you when you practice at home

If you can, come with a practice partner. If you don't have a partner, come anyway and we'll make sure you get a chance to practice the basic techniques. Rope Bottoms - this is your chance to meet some rope tops - come learn and get tied up!

Some rope will be provided for the workshop, but bring the following if you can

• (4) 10-foot pieces of 5/16" (8mm) or 3/8"
• (2) 30-foot piece of 5/16" (8mm) or 3/8"
This workshop assumes no previous bondage experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations.

cost: $30 members, $35 non members / June 1 price increases by $5 for each class

Many of us like rope bondage because it's pretty, sensual and intimate. Tops often like demonstrating their technical skills and bottoms often enjoy the firm, snug caress of the rope.

And some of us like being mean with our bondage - or like being tied up in mean ways.

Come learn more about using rope to produce powerful scenes and intense sensation.

We'll cover motivation, technique, safety and some style elements which complement this type of play.

Most of our time will be spent on demonstrations and discussion but there will be a few opportunities for hands-on practice.

If you're a top and part of your kinky repertoire is SM-based, you'll want to see how you can use rope to facilitate your scenes.

If you're a bottom and you crave the intensity of physically demanding scenes, you won't want to miss these demonstrations and discussions. You'll have opportunities to add to your skill set and mingle with a bunch of mean tops. And - Max will be looking for demo bottoms during the workshop.

A practice partner will be useful for the hands-on portions of the workshop but you'll also get lots out of this workshop if you come alone.

As with all of Max's workshops, there's a handout you can use as a memory aid when you're practicing at home.

Please bring two 30’ lengths of 6mm or 8mm rope and a few 15' lengths of 4mm if you can.

This workshop is appropriate for all skill levels and all genders / orientations. The emphasis is on learning and having fun.

So – you've learned the "fundamentals" and now you're ready for more.

This workshop helps you get to the next level by addressing the subtler topics which are applicable to most rope bondage scenes.

We'll talk about rope – types, diameters, strength – and we'll have plenty of rope on-hand to feel and evaluate.

We'll talk about resources for rope bondage – where to find rope, hardware, and information.

We'll talk about knots, and we'll practice some of the basic knots you'll use in your bondage scenes.

We'll talk about bondage positions - for fun, for pleasure, for pain, for sex, and for aesthetics.

And we'll talk about the "soft" parts of a bondage scene – things like rhythm, pace, connection, and showmanship. These are the things they never tell you in the books or on the web.

Much of the class will consist of hands-on exercises to help you get familiar with the material in a friendly, low-pressure environment. The emphasis is on learning, having fun, and building confidence.

If you can, come with a practice partner. If you don't have a partner, come anyway and we'll make sure you get a chance to practice the basic techniques. Rope Bottoms - this is your chance to meet some rope tops - come learn and get tied up!

Some rope will be provided for the workshop, but bring the following if you can

• (2) 10-foot pieces of 5/16" (8mm) or 3/8"
• (3) 30-foot piece of 5/16" (8mm) or 3/8"
This workshop assumes no previous bondage experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations.
