Rough Crowd Date: Sunday, January 17, 2016

Boots are sexy; they’re heavy and strong, and the imagery of power that they evoke runs from the force of kicking to the mental aspect of being on the ground looking up. Whether the feet are clad in combat boots, lineman’s boots, high heels, or even bare, force and fetish meet up powerfully in our feet.

Come learn more about kicking (how, where, techniques and warnings), as well as stomping, trampling, and even a little about breathing restriction. We’ll also explore the headspace of bottoming to boots, from worship to fear and intimidation.

NOTE: If it’s anything but beautiful out that day and you want to practice with boots, wear a different pair there, and change into clean boots. We want to keep the space and tidy!

If you’re into rough body play, or if you think this sounds interesting, then yes, it *is* for you. Come to Rough Crowd for overview, instruction, and practice time. Safety and technique will be first, and then ideas and practice time. No experience necessary; you’ll have some by the time you leave.

Rough Crowd Date: Sunday, November 1, 2015

Two of the most popular topics in kink in Chicago: rough body play, and rope. Like chocolate and peanut butter, hot dogs and jalapeños, and first dates and lube, the two should go together famously. I’m sure they often do, but how often have you seen a rope top do an amazing rigging only to start hitting like a sissy maid in a butch bar? Sacre bleu! Slow sensual bondage may be lovely, but that’s not what we’ll be doing here, kids.

Bondage can be mean, and we’ll take a little time looking at some common ties and new approaches to making them meaner. Beyond that, let’s remember that there are lots of things to do with rope – lots of terrible, mean, wonderful things – that have nothing to do with bondage. What better than to explore them?

In this class we’ll discuss some things to do with rope in between your bondage… during, before, after, and maybe even as a surprise when they come home from work and they least expect it. Floggers, whips, cudgels, gags, and the patented (not really) Roughinamorato Ropefist.

Bring your rope. If you already know how to tie a TK that’s great, but if you don’t know what the hell a TK is that’s fine too – you’ll still learn some good (terrible) stuff.

Things To Bring

* Rope, if you have it
* Partner, if you have one (or two, or… )
* Diabolical streak

Rough Crowd Date: Sunday, July 12, 2015

This month we have a special guest speaker, Eternal Angel, who will be presenting No, don’t! … Don’t stop!.
Have you ever wondered what consensual/non consensual play is all about?

One of the most enjoyed types of play for EternalAngel, this workshop is an opportunity to come along and learn about the controversial play and see how it could become one of the hot types of play that you can add to your fetishes, and ways to go about setting up the negotiation and organizing this type of scene in a safe way that caters for all levels of people.

This class will also cover the definition of consent and how it applies to a “non consensual” scene, identifying when the scene is not CNC based play (for both Dominants and submissive) and how to disengage from the scene, along with open floor discussion, practicing your negotiation skills and sharing some of your ideas for a CNC scene.
