Tying harnesses is a fundamental rope bondage skill. Chest and hip harnesses are versatile components that could be used in a variety of play styles from simple bedroom bondage, to rough body play, and all the way to rope suspension. They provide sturdy handles by which a person could be held and moved, and an attachment point on a person’s body to tie them to something.

In this class, we will cover the basic techniques required to tie harnesses. After that we move to learning a chest harness and a hip harness.

You will not only learn the steps to tying these harnesses, but you will also understand the reason behind each step and choice that goes into creating them.
