Self-Suspension Safety Talk

In this shibari class, KissmedeadlyDoll sits down for some self-suspension safety real talk aimed at solo rope practitioners.

Easy there, self-tyer! Before you get yourself into a bind that you can’t get out of, put your ropes aside and get real with KissmedeadlyDoll as she dives deep into safety for self-suspension. As a self-tyer and self-suspender with more than a decade’s experience, Doll has learned a few tricks along the way… and fucked up a couple of times too. In this shibari safety lecture, she shares everything she knows – and everything she wishes she’d known – to help make your first forays into self-suspending safer, smoother and more confident. From planning and managing risk to emergency back-up plans, this is essential viewing for everyone who’s their own rigger and model all rolled up into one.

This class is suitable for all levels, though the techniques discussed in this class are aimed at self-tying practitioners who are already starting to explore suspensions. As KissmedeadlyDoll explains, being cognizant of “when are you ready to self-suspend?” is part of safer self-suspension, so please be mindful of your own skill set as you decide if you’re ready to elevate your bondage practice.
