Saara Rei is a workshop facilitator and performance artist with a background in music, dance, education, and public speaking. Saara's work generally centers around the exploration of suffering, both physical and emotional. Through their kink practice, Saara has come to understand that suffering comes from the comparison of what has been or could be to the present moment. And with that, Saara enjoys teaching about how to use suffering as a path to presence and enjoyment in life. Having a Ph.D. in mathematics, Saara’s academic experience adds an intellectual flair to complement their performative approach to bodywork. Playfulness and humor make up a big chunk of Saara's personality and approach to life, giving their workshops a very exploitative and light atmosphere, even while approaching some of the heaviest of topics.

What is bondage?
All tied up with nowhere to go?
Bondage (the B in BDSM) is a sexual practice that involves the consensual use of restraints or ties for the purpose of erotic pleasure, power exchange, or aesthetic stimulation. It falls under the broader category of BDSM which encompasses a variety of consensual activities exploring power dynamics and different forms of sensory experiences.
What makes it hot?
Restraining a partner creates an intimate dance of control and surrender, where the bound individual willingly embraces vulnerability. The physical sensation of being bound intensifies touch, fostering a heightened erotic response. The aesthetic appeal, whether in the artistry of knots or the visual impact of restraint, adds another layer of arousal. Emotionally, the trust required for bondage deepens the connection between partners. Ultimately, the allure of bondage lies in its ability to transcend physicality.
Bondage is often associated with physical sensations, but it also involves a deep emotional connection between partners. The trust, vulnerability, and communication required in bondage activities can contribute to a stronger emotional bond between individuals.
Some individuals who practice bondage have described it as a meditative and mindful experience. The focused attention on the sensations, the connection between partners, and the careful execution of ties or restraints can create a unique state of mindfulness.
Many practitioners view the aesthetics of bondage as an art form, appreciating the beauty and skill involved in tying intricate knots or creating visually striking scenes.
DO
Use proper restraints: Invest in high-quality, body-safe restraints specifically designed for bondage play. This includes cuffs, ropes, or other materials that are less likely to cause skin irritation or injury.
Educate yourself on knots: Learn and practice basic knot-tying techniques. Understanding how to tie and release knots safely is crucial to avoid unintentional discomfort or difficulty in removing restraints.
Establish quick-release mechanisms: Have quick-release mechanisms readily available, such as safety shears or specially designed clips. This ensures that restraints can be easily and quickly removed in case of an emergency or if the bound partner needs to be released swiftly.
Maintain circulation awareness: Regularly check the bound partner's extremities for proper circulation. Ensure that restraints are not too tight and that the bound individual doesn't experience numbness or tingling, which could indicate restricted blood flow.
DON'T
Forget consent: Make sure both parties fully consent and make sure to have regular check-ins throughout play.
Use improper materials: Use materials that can cause harm or injury. Avoid rough or abrasive textures that may chafe the skin. Opt for materials that are smooth, non-allergenic, and designed for bondage play.
Leave bound partner unattended: Leave a bound partner unattended, especially if they are in a vulnerable position. Continuous supervision is important to respond quickly to any issues or discomfort that may arise during the bondage session.
Tie knots too tightly: Tie knots too tightly. While restraint is part of the experience, it's crucial to avoid excessive pressure on joints or delicate areas. Knots should be snug but not so tight as to cause pain or impair circulation.
Ignore safety shears: Neglect to have safety shears or scissors within reach. In case of an emergency or if the bound partner needs to be quickly released, having the means to cut restraints swiftly is essential for safety.
