From your profile I see you're in Maryland. If you're in the DC area, I suggest you check out The Black Rose,
www.br.org. If you're in the Baltimore area, check out BESS,
www.bess-md.org. Both groups have meetings where different topics are explored, including of course bondage. Black Rose has a bondage special interest group that meets once a month - I recently went to their session on hogties. You're young enough to fall into the "TNG" (The Next Generation) subgroup for both of them.
If you're wondering why I'm not offering a bit of hands-on instruction, even though I live in the DC area, it's because my free time is pretty much nonexistent right now - and what little there is of it, especially the bit available for tie-up games, is usually claimed by someone else. It's not absolutely impossible, but you'd be surprised how hard it often is for me to schedule something at any reasonable hour of the day or evening. Now, if you look at the times on some of my posts, you'll see that I'm often up for talking at completely unreasonable hours, so feel free to ask questions, either in the thread or by private message.
