From high flying suspensions to unbeweavable mancrame, sometimes limbs can be a bit of an afterthought. However, the tying and placement of the limbs is critical to a complete capture of a tying partner, and nowhere is that more evident than in the catalogue of animal-themed ties. So join me in turning what can sometimes be an afterthought into the main event. In this class, we will explore dynamic floor play as we transition through a petting zoo of positions. Beginning with a modified hog tie, we will manipulate and modify classic standalone forms, and in so doing investigate the impact of position, flexion, and tension using the same ties through multiple orientations. Get ready for the rodeo and join in the barnyard fun!

MyFrogHasHat self-identifies as an unnecessarily but delightfully maximalist and ornate roper, because kink is hardly about the bare necessities. Offering custom, hand-crafted hempy hugs, with focuses on: ornamental, decorative ties; evolving application of knots and weaves; constriction; rope-based CBT; and punishingly pushing the limits of badinage. He likes to think he's infamously known as a menace to testicles everywhere, and actual reviews include "ouch, but fun," as well as a series of screams and gargling noises.
