Tormenting. Torture, suffering, breath restriction, predicament, challenge.
These are some of the themes we will delve into during this workshop, where the presenter will share some of his sadistic tools and techniques with you.
In this workshop, we will explore various approaches to torment. From pure pain using judiciously placed jute or coconut ropes, going through some predicaments involving bamboo on the body and finally exploring slow breath restriction. To culminate, we will combine all these elements, creating an intense experience.
However, torment is not just about inflicting pain; it’s also about the profound connection and trust between partners. This workshop will explore how these intense experiences can deepen the bond and create an intense emotional connection.

Intermediate level. Single column tie, 2 ropes TK suitable for floor play, minimum 6 standard length ropes. The person being tied must be able to withstand a certain level of pain and be comfortable with some breath restriction.
