Valen-Tie-Me Up: A Bondage Panel and Demos
Love bondage? Then this event is knot to be missed! Come join our panelists as they talk and walk through some of the important pieces of their specific category of bondage. We’ll have kinsters repping cuffs, rope, wraps, barbed wire, and more! While we do have some pre-assigned questions for the panelists, we would love for you to submit some in the event discussion prior to the panel. Panelists will have items with them to demo through some the Q&A, plus discuss some of their bigger shares for their specific areas of bondage.
Our Panelists for the evening:
@Stahr (she/her) is a Cleveland based top and sadist who enjoys inflicting pain almost as much as she enjoys the sounds her bottoms make. She has been active in the Cleveland scene for over 8 years and has been in servitude to her local kink organization, OhioSMART for the past two years. She is very passionate about education in the kink world and sharing knowledge with the local scene. Her professional background is in Women’s Health and she is very passionate about advocating for access to healthcare. Stahr loves to foster connection through kink. She will be presenting and answering questions on leather and metal restraints, including but not limited to: cuffs, locks, and cages!
@RowanMorrison (they/them) is a sadistic Top that’s been focused on controlling sensation and managing scene flow since they got into needles sometime around 2013. They’re also a longtime OhioSMART member (and former board member), though they now reside in Massachusetts with their partner, two cats, and a tortoise. One of their favorite things (besides pain) is helping introduce newbies to needles and helping people get past the awkwardness of starting out in this awesome form of play. They’ll be presenting and answering questions on barbed wire bondage and play. Much like needles, this type of bondage has its own unique form of scene flow and considerations when playing!
@Col_Chestbridge (He/Him) is a former board member for OhioSMART who has attended kink events for over a decade. He's previously presented a class on encasement bondage, and has been the presenter for non-rope bondage during sensation stations several times. He'll be presenting and answering questions on various non-rope bondage options including: cuffs, chains, wrap, and tape.
@BoyAnachron (they/them, previously GoblinBights) is a queer, disabled, neurodivergent creature with an affinity for rope, leather, and education. Their personality and energy may best be described as equal parts "mischievous court jester" and "stilted Gilded-Age butler", which (they hope!) lends to their lab-y, creative, and conscientious approach to sharing their knowledge with others. They’ll be presenting and answering questions on various rope bondage topics.
