ABOUT

What is Futomomo?

Futomomo is a fundamental shibari tie, where the calf and thigh are bound to one another. Futomomo can vary from quick and dirty to quite technical. Here, three iterations will be presented.


Pre-requisites :

1. Knowledge of a single column tie is recommended but not required.

2. Knowledge of basic rope safety.

3. Safety shears and rope, if you have.

4. Snacks and water.


Your instructor:

Desire Lines (@_desire_lines on Instagram, @HerUnholiness on fetlife) is one of the founding members of RopeyThings Cape Town and has been practicing and teaching rope bondage since 2016.


Code of conduct:


  1. CONSENT - ask before touching, ask where rope can and can't be laid, where hands can and can't be placed. Communicate consent verbally in the space.
  2. SAFETY - communicate before, during and after tying, ask about each other's current physical/mental/emotional state. Discuss tying within your risk profile. At all times work within the guidelines of SSC/RACK/PRICK.
  3. COMMUNICATION - between tops and bottoms, but also with the event organiser. If anything non-consensual or unsafe occurs, let us know and we will act.
  4. ANONYMITY - some peeps don't want to be photographed/recorded. Obtain express consent (noting people that may be in the background) beforehand. Respect this and delete pics if asked. Don't out people who attend RopeyThings events - if you see someone you know, and they want to be anonymous in the space, respect each other and be discreet.
  5. KEEP IT PG13 - please don't treat this class as foreplay. It is an intimate artform, but this is not a sexual space.
  6. SUBSTANCES - NO drugs permitted, as it puts the user, everyone attending as well as the organisers at risk of prosecution.
  7. INCLUSIVITY - we want this to be a safe space for everyone, especially those underrepresented in kink (diff/disabled, LGBTQIA+, black and NBPOC folx). Please help us in creating a non-judmental, welcoming space for everyone. If you feel othered in any way, please do not hesitate to let us know so that we can assist.
