Frequently Asked Questions

How can I contact you?

Send an email to renoropebite@gmail.com with details.

What should I wear to a class or workshop?

Generally, workout clothes that fit to the body work well. I have watched people get tied in jeans, dresses, and suits so it is whatever you are comfortable wearing. Baggy clothing can be a bit more frustrating to move rope on (it likes to get caught).

Will there be models/bottoms available to practice tying on during classes/workshops?

No. Many solo attendees have been able to practice together, even becoming rope friends outside events. However, if you are attending solo expect to practice on yourself. Do not expect others to be available to you.

What is your consent policy?

Consent policy will change based on location and the type of event, so always read the event’s policy. In general, I follow this:

Please only engage in situations that are within the risk profiles of everyone involved.

  • No interrupting scenes/persons tying (unless previously discussed).

  • No touching of people or their belongings without their consent.

  • No taking photos or videos of anyone without their consent (please pay attention to who might be tying around you/in the background before doing so).

CONSENT POLICY

This is a safe space for everyone. We will not tolerate any form of harassment, discrimination, or unwanted approaches. We want to create a welcoming environment where anyone can safely communicate what they want and don't want from every interaction. If anyone engages in any sort of predatory behavior or is making you uncomfortable, please alert the hosts. We will believe you and help in any way we can, whether by facilitating conversations or removing someone from the space.

CONSENT BEST PRACTICES

ASK before engaging in any form of conversation or rope play with anybody. If you are unsure about how to go around this, come up with a script beforehand (ex. "Hey, I'd love to try X with you. Would you like to do that too?").

Yes means yes, every other answer is a no. Maybe is a no, mumbling is a no, deflection is a no. Give space to the other person to truly think about any approach and give you an honest answer. Please be respectful, and receive ANY response with a "thank you".

Remember consent can change from one moment to the next, and it is OK. If someone is a YES for something, does not mean they will still be a YES in 5 minutes. Please check in with your partners continuously.

We will go over our consent policy at the beginning of the evening, as well as with any late arrivals. Anyone found to be a creeper, or that violates our consent policy will be removed from the space. We reserve the right for admission and permanence.

Feel free to reach out to the host(s) if you have any questions or concerns.

Do you teach privately?

Private classes can be discussed via email; however, I do not have a studio always available to me so options are limited. As of January 2024, I will teach privately only if myself and the other person feel comfortable on the chosen space.
