Special Interest Groups


TES makes an effort to bring its members a diversified program covering a wide variety of interests.

Our Tuesday night meetings cover topics of general interest and Wednesday night programs cover special interests.

Our Special Interest Groups (SIG) include:


Bondage Group

There are many reasons why we like bondage: control, beauty, or just because it feels good. Whether it's rope, leather gear, metal. pervertibles or a combination, every Bondage SIG meeting will explore practical and safe methods of restraint. Open to all - novices and more experienced.


Relationships Group

The Couples Group is for couples and individuals who are part of a couple, triad, or more. Issues relevant to and of ongoing relationships are explored.


Dominant Men/submissive womans's Group

The Dominant Men/submissive women SIG group was the pioneer TES SIG group and has been in existence for 15 years. This group was founded by Master Jim to support and explore the ideas and needs of Dominant Men and submissive women. We welcome everyone who has an interest in the sensual, erotic, power exchange, and s/m dynamic that exists between Dominant Men and submissive women.

You do not need to be in a relationship to be a part of this group. We host many outstanding topics, presentations, and exciting social activities throughout the year.


Dominant Women/submissive Men's Group

Dom women/subMen supports and explores the ideas and needs of Dominant Women and submissive men. This group also hosts many outstanding topics and presentations with a few outside social events. They host Dominant Women Workshops throughout the year. We encourage Dominant Women to attend.


Men's Group

The Men's Group is exactly what it says, a men's group by and for men to network, socialize and share knowledge and experience among fellow man in the BDSM lifestyle.
This group is open to all men, whatever their orientation.


Novice Orientation

Meets the second Wednesday of each month.
This group is an open forum for new members as well as those beginning to explore the BDSM lifestyle (scene) and it is a place to exchange ideas. The leadership of these meetings offers "guidelines" and an opportunity for exchange and exploration of ideas. It is a chance for beginners to find responses to their questions and feelings in a safe, comfortable, friendly manner and place.

This meeting is open to everyone.


Queer SIG

The Queer Special Interest Group aims to strengthen ties between queer people and their allies through creative programming and strong community involvement. In our social and educational events, we will: provide space for queers and allies to share ideas and experiences; promote queer leather presence, perspective, and leadership within TES and the NYC pansexual scene; explore the many possible facets of queerness; and look fabulous doing it.
