Rope Bottoms Corner

  • Hosted by VoxBody Studio
  • Oakland, CA -
  • 23 people on the list-

VoxBody is pleased to host another Rope Bottoms Corner. Bottoms, riggers, switches and self-tiers, join us for these quarterly rope bottoming-focused events! 

Each event will begin with a speaker-led topic by one of our amazing local rope bottoms. Topics will vary with each event and will be announced ahead of time. The second half of the event will be facilitated open discussion. 

Anyone interested is welcome to attend, no experience necessary. Please keep in mind this is bottoms-centered content, and discussions will aim to explore rope from the perspective of the rope bottom. 

We welcome ChastityinChains on May 5 for a discussion on: 

In-Scene Consent and Negotiation

What does consent feel like in your body in scene as a bottom? Consent is fluid and not always the same as what you negotiated. We’ll explore ways to identity changes in consent that arise in scene, as well as how to communicate those changes to your play partners.

What are the best ways to respond to in scene negotiation? We’ll explore how to better understand your risk profile and how to effectively navigate in scene requests for additional or different play from what was previously negotiated.

Please bring a journal and pen as there will be reflection prompts during the presentation.

The second half of the event will be a facilitated open discussion; this is your chance to share your burning bottoming questions for group discussion!

Doors open at 11:15am. Please aim to arrive and be settled in for an 11:30 start time. We would love to leave as much time as possible for open discussion and therefore want to start on time!

Come for the bottoms corner, stay for the jam! Rope Jam will run 2-5pm, and tickets can be found here.

A few notes about this event:

  • tickets are per individual. It is not necessary to attend with a partner; however, we do encourage riggers to attend classes and events on rope bottoming.
  • no rope or gear necessary for class. 
  • tea and water will be provided. There are cushions and pillows for sitting on the floors, and chairs available. If you don't see what you need to sit comfortably for this event, please ask a VoxBody liaison!

About the presenter: 

Chastity (she/her) is a shibari model and performer based in the Bay Area. She has spent the past decade studying the art of rope suspension, through bottoming and self-tying, and finds beauty in exploring the tension between suffering and surrender that lies at the heart of the sadomasochistic energy exchange. Chastity also holds a doctorate degree in clinical psychology and is passionate about trauma-informed kink education. 

You can find her on IG and FL @chastityinchains.
