Student Wellness Division at U. Chicago to Host ‘Kink and Consent’ Rope Bondage Workshop
“We explore rope as a medium of intimacy, vulnerability, trust, altered states of consciousness, aesthetic expression, and deep connection”
When did college become a place for exploring rope bondage and what does it have to do with student wellness?

UChicago to host ‘kink and consent’ rope bondage workshop
The University of Chicago’s Student Wellness division is planning to host a “kink and consent” workshop for students, in which the practice of sexual play with ropes will be taught.
A flyer touting the event and posted on campus states the workshop is designed to teach students “an introduction to exploring kink safely” and that a “kink-friendly student wellness therapist” will be on hand.
The workshop will be held in collaboration with the Chicago-based Heartland Kinbaku, which describes itself as focused on “traditional Japanese rope bondage.”
“We explore rope as a medium of intimacy, vulnerability, trust, altered states of consciousness, aesthetic expression, and deep connection,” its website states.
The workshop was first reported on by the Chicago Thinker, an independent student news outlet, which noted the event “offers students the opportunity to learn about tying up sexual partners for satisfaction – and raises questions about UChicago’s ethical standards.”
“The event is directly sponsored by UChicago, not by any student group,” the Thinker reported.
A representative from Heartland Kinbaku told the outlet: “Several students and university staff reached out to us about the possibility of collaborating on skills-based education events to support student kink clubs on campus.”
The online sign up sheet for the workshop states it aims to help students understand “how to take care of yourself and others while engaging in safe practices is a crucial aspect of sexual health” and added “there will be no hands-on learning or demonstrations of any specific kink practice.”
The workshop, originally scheduled for Feb. 27, according to the flyer, has been postponed to a yet-to-be-determined date during the spring quarter, a campus spokesman told the Thinker.
The University of Chicago is no stranger to hosting sexual tutorials.

sounds like a “lynching” again by lefty
This sort of course should be offered to the public by a DC-based NGO. I can think of several dozen senators and representatives who could benefit from exploring rope.
“offers students the opportunity to learn about tying up sexual partners for satisfaction”
Americans don’t need a course to understand that, just a panel van.
Can I demonstrate the “guide knot” to them?
