Peer Rope Copenhagen
An open rope interest group within the Copenhagen BDSM association SMil København, founded in 2010, that meets on the first Sunday and third Monday of each month. Each meeting has a themed lesson followed by free practice, and Sunday meetings include a shibari intro for beginners.
Peer Rope Copenhagen, often shortened to PRC, is an open interest group within SMil København, Copenhagen’s association for sadomasochists. The group was founded in 2010. It is open to SMil members and their guests under the association’s guest rules, so attending requires joining SMil or coming as a member’s guest.
Meetings are usually held on the first Sunday and the third Monday of each month and follow a peer-learning model. Each session has a chosen theme or technique that is taught as a short lesson, followed by free practice in which participants are encouraged to use the lesson creatively; people can also repeat earlier lessons or simply swap ideas. The two meeting days serve different groups. Sunday sessions begin with an hour of Rope Café for meeting people and talking about rope, and in the afternoon a shibari introduction for beginners replaces the day’s theme. Monday sessions have no beginner course and a more advanced theme, taught by two instructors: one challenges experienced participants while the other helps people trying the technique for the first time.
The group’s stated aim is to take regular participants from first steps in shibari to fairly routine skill in basic suspensions and rope play, while still offering challenges for experienced members. There is no dress code beyond keeping footwear off the mats. Individual organizers are not named on the group’s page, which is in Danish, and enquiries go through SMil’s contact address for interest groups.
