Hi all and Happy New Year from BOUND!!
We have a fantastic BOUND on January 15th to start off to an exciting ropey year and If you haven’t seen the list of our performers yet, go check it by clicking HERE!
We are sure it will be another BOUND you don’t want to miss!!
Stefano Laforgia, our main performer, has agreed to hold an exclusive coaching session, on the Sunday after BOUND, for a very limited number of people.
The afternoon will be dedicated to intermediate level practitioners and it will be 5 hours!
It will consist of 4 hours of full hands on rope (see below for details). The final hour will give you the chance to ask your own questions and get personalized advice. You can enjoy a break from tying, some tea, biscuits with kinky laugh guaranteed if you dare..
The hands-on coaching will cover:
MUMMY, I FORGOT THE ROPE!!
Kinbaku is not about tying fancy knots, it’s about tying a willing partner and taking him/her onto a voyage of lust, pleasure, pain and emotions.
You can’t do that if you’re still focusing on the knots you’re tying. Learn how you can forget about the rope and focus on your partner.
FUCK SUSPENSION!!
We all like suspensions, but then many do not know what else they can do when their partner is up in the air.
This part will focus on learning some cool suspensions where you can actually have sex and fun. We are sure there will be an opportunity where, given the required skills, you can fulfill your mutual desires. We can promise you will never look at a suspension point the same way again.
For the last hour we will have,
Q&A
As described above, the fantastic opportunity to ask Stefano questions directly in a relaxed learning environment.

At last but not least who is Stefano Laforgia?
Stefano Laforgia is an Italian Rigger and BDSM educator. He started his journey in BDSM at early age, but lived it mainly in private until he moved in Rome in 2000, where he became an active member of the BDSM local community.
In 2005, he quit his office job and decides to live his lifestyle in a public way when he founded Alcova, the first fetish/BDSM shop in Rome. Since then, he has worked on various projects, both in Italy and around the world: he was the first to organize bondage classes in Rome and helped the whole community grow and take shape, organized play parties and took part in BDSM themed workshops and conferences.
His approach to shibari has shifted with time, especially since 2008, when he started visiting Japan and met some of the best Japanese kinbakushi during their shows, making acquaintances with some of them, including Kinoko Hajime. Stefano invited him to come and perform in Europe for the first time, so that others could see a different approach to shibari.
Stefano was so fascinated with Japanese bondage that started to share his views about it with other Italian and international riggers during various events in the following years. This contributed to the genesis of a new trend that emphasizes the connection and interaction between the rigger and the bottom, rather than just the “circus” performance or the static pictures with the model in pose. This process clearly shows in the type of ties he uses and through his pictures where the rigger become more and more an active part of the image; at one with the model, as it’s the best way for Stefano to show the connection, the erotic tension and the power exchange between him and the bottom.
In 2011, he founded, ‘Itoh Seiyu’, the first School of Japanese Bondage in Italy and organized “LegARTI”, the first event in Italy, entirely dedicated to Japanese bondage. After all this time, he is still having a great time teaching, performing, sharing knowledge and, most of all, tying and having fun with his play partners.
