Marionettes with Shay

Hitchin’ Bitches Bay Area Skill Share – December

Shay, creator of the bondage safety repository remedialropes.com and do-er of all the things, will be sharing information on mobile (“marionette”) suspensions. This Western-style, bottom-focused bondage is far different from strict Shibari immobilization- join us to learn about the acrobatics and freedom of movement that rope can offer!

SKILL SHARE

This is our monthly gathering to induce passionate skill sharing between all Hitchin’ Bitches. We spend a few hours a month in shared lab time. This includes asking questions, sharing ideas, problem solving together, following along with others, riffing with the rope, and generally rope jamming together.

This event is made possible by the contributions of the Center for Sex and Culture and Midori Sensei!

WHAT Are We Doing?

Together we are creating a safe space for Hitchin’ Bitches to practice rope. We want to create a thriving network so that we are representing, and represented in the broader kink/leather/sex communities.

WHO Is A Hitchin’ Bitch?

We welcome all women who live full time as women and FTM, genderqueer and intersexed persons who feel that they still have links to women’s communities. We seek to err on the side of inclusion!

MISSION Statement:

Empowerment! We want to dash Rope Politics (the hierarchy of perceived competition) by encouraging skill share and joint purpose. We want to help Hitchin’ Bitches find their own authentic Rope Voice as they repel “technical” focus and seek a balance of intent and skill in their rope activities.

GET INVOLVED:

We want those who feel they cannot join the skill share, but still want to learn, can contact each other and set other times to meet up. Go bold and promote our awesomeness! This helps us to raise visibility and tells other potential Hitchin’ Bitches that they are wanted and welcome. We ask that you help us to be proactive.

Don’t worry if you’re completely new to rope, absolute beginners are always welcome. More experienced riggers are equally encouraged, whether you want space to practice, to work on more advanced ties, or are looking for the chance to share your knowledge with others. If there’s something you’d be interested in teaching the group then message Skittles88 or post a discussion on our group page: [FetLife][www.fetlife.com/groups/77437].

As this is a rope event, please only engage in rope activities, please no other type of play, especially as this first event will be at our home. We’re happy to see a little tickling, pinching, and other toying (provided of course you have their consent), but this isn’t the place for other play.

ROPE:

Please feel free to bring your own rope. If you do not have any, we will be providing some; please be sure to return what you borrow.

SAFETY:

As with any kind of bondage, safety is paramount. All attendees participate at their own risk. Please make sure you know where your safety shears/cutting tools for rope are while playing.

SAFETY OF ROPE:

Do bring safety shears. Do not cut or burn any borrowed rope.

PHOTOGRAPHY:

Photography is permitted, but only with the explicit consent from all of those in the image, including those in the background: please make sure to ask for permission.
