Kim Lee has different workshops, like Domming from the Bottom, where power exchange is a complicated thing and she teaches some tricks to keep your control during this type of scene. Another one is Bratting: The Art of Escalation (“brat” is a dirty word in rope play). This class is to learn how to fully embrace the chemistry of playful negotiation, as well as tips of keeping your bottom in check and strategies for bottoms to ask for things during the scene. One of her most famous workshops is Escape Rope, this workshop is definitely NOT Shibari, but it refers to a specific type of play where the bottom struggles to free themselves from their bondage.
