BondageOtter
BondageOtter is an American rigger.
Era: 2020s
RIGGER · TEACHER · ORGANIZER
San Francisco Bay Area queer rope switch, teacher and organizer focused on men-tying-men and masc-of-center rope. ShibariNews and Rope Podcast identify him as the founder of Rope Burn SF, a Bay Area men's rope jam / masc-of-center rope play party and skill share. VoxBody's 2025 event listing presents BondageOtter teaching Tying Men* with Purpose with Jay Campo, focused on tying the masculine form, larger or more muscular bodies, and connecting Japanese aesthetics with gay leather culture. Rope Podcast's 2025 interview adds that his practice draws especially on the styles of Naka Akira, Akechi Kanna and Nicolas Yoroi while remaining a community-organizing and teaching connection rather than a direct-apprenticeship claim.
