Queer Rope Social

Want to learn about rope bondage, do some tying or get tied up, in a body-positive, queer, feminist, anti-racist space that centers queer & trans & non-binary folks? Want to go to a rope event where you don’t feel like you’re the only queer, trans, or non-binary person there? Where people are committed to affirmative consent and value each person’s physical and emotional well-being, and call in or call out comments or behavior in order to cultivate that consent culture?
Queer Rope Social is a new experimental gathering that attempts to do that. Hosted by Parker (RopeBoi), a queer & genderqueer rope lover with a decade of experience tying and being tied at their private home in Park Slope, Brooklyn, Queer Rope Social is a space for queer & trans & non-binary folks to learn, skill share, experience, and observe various techniques and styles of rope bondage.
No dress code–wear whatever makes you feel comfortable or fabulous.
No rope experience required. This event welcomes absolute beginners, experienced experts, and everyone in between. We’ll do a beginner-friendly rope lesson around 4:30pm.
Don’t have your own rope? No problem. Well have some loaner rope to borrow.
Aren’t sure if you’re “queer enough” or “trans enough” to attend this event? No one is going to be policy anyone’s gender or queer-ness, but we expect people to honestly self-identify as queer. Please respect that this intentional space is meant to center queer, trans, and non-binary folks; there are plenty of other rope events that foreground cisgender folks in heterosexual interactions.
Are you an experienced rope practitioner and interested in suspension? The space has 3 suspension frames available for participants who already have a background in rope suspension.
To RSVP or with any questions about the event, contact Parker at ropeboi@gmail.com . Note: sending the email is not a guarantee of attendance. You will receive an email reply with the address of the location if you are confirmed to attend.
