Knotty New York: Rope Bondage Socials for Gay Men

 

Knotty New York is a rope bondage social created specifically for gay men. The guys at Knotty focus on building a safe, educational space where men can learn, practice, and connect within the rope community. Their goal is to make bondage more accessible and far less intimidating.

All experience levels are welcome. Whether a guy is tying for the first time, already has some skills, or just wants to be on the receiving end, there’s a place for him here.

Each meetup offers the chance to cover the basics or push into more advanced techniques. Socials happen twice a month. Partners aren’t required — meeting and connecting with other guys is actively encouraged.

Go to a Knotty New York event to learn, practice, and expand your rope skills in a space built for men who share the same interests.

GagManiac to present at KnottyNY

 

KnottyNY is hosting an engaging workshop with @GagManiac focused on the art and techniques of gagging within bondage and kink scenes. The class, taking place Tuesday, Feb 3, 2026, from 7 to 10 pm, will explore key questions such as:

  • Why incorporate a gag?
  • How to make a tape gag adhere effectively and securely?
  • Ways to ensure a gag remains comfortable during extended wear?
  • What exactly is a rope gag, and how is it applied?

Participants will gain hands-on demonstrations of various gagging methods, along with practical discussion on safely and consensually integrating gags into scenes. This is your chance to meet @GagManiac, a noted bondage content creator known for expertise in restraints and tape gags.

For those newer to rope bondage, a dedicated 101 section will cover foundational knots and basics, consistent with the group’s regular introductory offerings.

Opportunities for free admission are available to a limited number of volunteers assisting with setup and cleanup — those interested should reach out via email to inquire.

This class provides a structured, educational environment for learning advanced techniques while prioritizing safety and communication in kink play.

Other upcoming KnottyNY events include:

  • Valentines Speed Tying
  • Rope At Rockbar
