My boyfriend and I had been searching the internet for a course that was different from university, and we started searching online together. We were initially looking for online courses when I came across a class that caught my attention, which was a bondage course. It sounded to me like something related to erotic sexual trends, and I mentioned it to my boyfriend.

Quickly, and without thinking much about it, we sent an email to the address provided. The instructor told us that he gave classes on weekends, and after exchanging a few emails, we went to the address the following Saturday.

We went to check it out. The place was a normal-looking building with a reception desk and a guy sitting at it who could be seen from the street, and not much else. But the building had a second part, which was a closed basement with no windows, connected to the garage by a staircase. The garage was next to the building.

We couldn't wait to see what this class would bring. We also wanted it to be intimate, just the two of us, as that's easier, and we were alone in the building that day. The guy offered us a demonstration.

The guy talked to us about the expectations of improving our sex life, but I wasn't listening much. I was more focused on the thousands of ropes hanging from a bar on the wall in thick, bulky rolls, and I wondered what they were all for. But I also thought it would be part of the excitement, and I was thinking about that when the guy asked who wanted to be tied up to illustrate the course.

He asked my boyfriend if he wanted to, and told him not to worry, that bondage isn't about embarrassing anyone, and that he shouldn't feel uncomfortable. My boyfriend said it was okay, and took off his shirt to feel the ropes, as the guy had explained.

The guy handed me the ropes, and I started passing them over my boyfriend's body, with his arms behind his back, together but not dangling, and I passed the ropes in front, behind, and between his arms, as the guy instructed. I didn't care if I was doing it right or wrong, or if my boyfriend could untie himself or not; I just kept passing the ropes, which were very long and kept getting tangled.

The guy asked us how we had become interested in this type of class. I responded with a smile and said it was because it was exciting and different, and we wanted to try something new.

The guy explained that people are looking for an adventure, a way to spice up their sex life, and that giving up control is one way to do it. He said that tying someone up is a way to give up control.

With my boyfriend already tied up, the guy handed me a ball gag. "This is a gag. It's used to increase control. You have to put the ball inside his mouth, all the way in, and press his mouth shut with your hand so he can't cheat and take it out or leave it loose. Then there's the strap, and it closes with this buckle behind his neck. Pull it tight. But don't ask ...
