You must first complete BDSM 101 before taking this course.
Here at Magpie Kink we approach suspension a little differently, we think both top and bottoms need skills before diving into suspension. As a bottom you need to learn about nerves, pain management and safety. As a top you need all of those skills as well as an understanding of how rope is used for leverage and how to properly lock off harnesses.
This course is intended for intermediate to advanced students. Please do not attempt suspension without proper equipment, education, and supervision, this course work is intended to supplement in-person education and give our students reference material.
