Seduction at the Asian Art Museum
Congratulations to our patron Midori who single handedly hosted the largest opening night party that the Asian Art Museum has ever had. On February 19, she hosted an exhibit and performance art piece that in her own words, turned the museum into a pleasure quarter.
The exhibit “Seduction” is installed until May 10th – Sneak peek! Midori’s next performance will be on August 1, in Hollywood at the Antebellum Gallery
THE HEART OF ROPE
February 19th | 7 – 10pm
https://fetlife.com/events/
Location | Iron Giant Loft @ 1080 23rd Avenue, Oakland
Cost | $30 per person / $50 per couple
Who | Open to all orientations and identities
In this introductory rope class, Monique and Gayle will teach a simple, but deceptively powerful style of rope play with just 1-rope that require no knowledge of complicated knots. They’ll guide you through the basics of rope safety and simple techniques for using rope to cultivate energy and power exchange between consenting adults. We will focus on using rope as a tool for helping couples develop emotional connection, intimacy, and trust. No prior rope play experience is required.
Spotlight
If you haven’t been listening to Midori’s sound diary, you are missing out on some insights (rope, travels, kink, David the fluffy cat-dog, and more)! Check out this impromptu clip she shared about our very own SF Bay Area Hitchin’ Bitches!

Changing of the Guard
- We are sad to see our dear HoneyCat stepping down from her Lead role (though we are happy she can attend Hitchin’ Bitches events for the sake of mere enjoyment) in order to persue an amazing dream–we wish you the best of luck and care!
- We also have Onyx stepping away to care for herself after wrist operations and hope for a speedy recovery and lots of rope dreams in between!
- A big welcome to MzFur for stepping up to the plate and forging a new path as our Leads put together another year of fun offerings for our group!
SHARE & LEARN: Whip Stitching
February 25th | 2pm – 5pm https://fetlife.com/events/
Enjoy an opportunity helping our local Little Scouts troup earn their whip stitch badge! Come learn & then show a little how to whip stitch the ends of your ropes. We will be providing practice rope as needed as well as thread, though you may bring your own. This is the first of a number of rope/knot based collaborations between Hitchin Bitches and Little Scouts: we are excited to support their rope endeavors and need your help to do it.
Fireside Chat: Tomo
Hojojutsu with tomo
February 4th | 7pm – 9pm https://fetlife.com/events/
February 4th | 7pm – 9pm https://fetlife.com/events/
Come by and learn about the history of hojojutsu and its practical uses: Given her background in traditional Japanese martial arts for over 30 years, tomo’s perspective of rope use is that of a military or martial one. Hojojutsu, the art of tying a prisoner with rope, fits well with her other battlefield based martial arts. Join us as we chat with tomo about the history of hojojutsu and how these martial and sometimes deadly techniques have been modified for consensual bondage.
