UVic Bondage 101 seminar is 'hands-on, interactive' - bring lots of rope
by Damian Inwood Staff Reporter
A "Bondage 101" seminar will be held on the UVic campus next week so that up to 15 couples can learn the ropes.
"The workshop is to show safe ways & to inform people of the safe use of ropes in a sexual context," said Michael Joyce, chairman of the UVic Pride Collective.
According to its website, the 250-member organization represents "queer, trans & intersex people & allies on campus." Joyce said the UVic administration is not involved in organizing the 3hour seminar which takes place next Wednesday in space rented from UVic Student Society.
An e-mail to participants said they would be "working w/a partner for the duration of this workshop, & it will be hands-on & interactive."
The seminar costs $15/couple & participants are told to bring 100 feet of 3/8th inch, braided rope, cut into 1 50-foot & 2 25foot pieces.
"Canadian Tire or Marine Store is the easiest place to purchase your rope," the e-mail says, adding helpfully, "braided nylon rope will run you around $.18/foot."
David Clode of UVic's Student Services said the UVic Pride Collective is recognized group & a part of the Student Society. He said the university doesn't interfere w/Student Society business.
No one from the Student Society was available for comment.
