LISA V NAMED NEW NCSF REP
by Lolita

Lisa V is the new TES representative to the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom. NCSF is the national advocacy and lobbying group that works to promote tolerance of sexual minorities of all orientations especially the SM-Leather-Fetish communities. Because TES is a voting organizational member of NCSF, Lisa will sit on the board. In addition to making sure that TES has input into this important national organization, Lisa will bring information back to the TES membership and continue to raise awareness about NCSF.

Lisa has been an active member of TES for a number of years. She steps forward at TES in many capacities: as a volunteer at parties and Leather Pride Night, as a presenter for educational topics and as co-chair of the First and Second Annual NY SM Film Festivals.

A SHOCKING EXPERIENCE AT TES
by John

Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, TES had only one meeting last week, Electrical Play with Mistress Nona. This covered the theory of electrical play, and some hot demos to boot, with demo subjects Ray and Robin. Mistress Nona used the HotBoxx electrical equipment designed as she said "for perverts by perverts" It has three channels so it was possible for Nona to play with both "victims" at the same time, and its one-hand operation is a real improvement over older units, she said.

John was there as consultant, and started off with a review of electrical theory as applied to BDSM. There is static and continuous current; with continuous current, it's important that the current not pass through the heart, so electrodes should be placed either entirely below the waist, or, in addition, both electrodes of a single channel can be placed on the same arm. John emphasized that it's important to be sure that multichannel equipment have isolated channels; the HotBoxx achieves this with transformers for each channel. Otherwise, current can flow between channels, possibly through the heart.

Mistress Nona reviewed the wide array of electrode "toys" available for electrical equipment; compatible plugs and adapters allow players to "mix and match" between suppliers. She demonstrated several types of cock rings, and both anal and vaginal plugs. Also on display was an electrical "humbler" device for male genital bondage combined with electricity.

Multichannel equipment allows play with more than one subject at a time, and Mistress Nona made full use of this capability: Robin reclined on TES' venerable massage table, with an electrical vaginal plug inserted; she had her legs over her head. Ray straddled her, with electrodes on his cock, and an anal plug to boot. It was almost as if they were having sex, but without genital contact: they were connected by the HotBoxx electrical device! With just a few pushes of the buttons on the HotBoxx, Nona was able to demonstrate ass-fucking Ray (his anal plug moved in and out rhythmically, with a mind of its own!), vaginally stimulating Robin, and then stimulating Ray's cock and balls, Ray's foot twitched in sympathy to his cock. Robin quickly got into the swing of it, "I'm warm now! she said; and with a little manual stimulation of her clit, she came noisily. As Robin recovered, Ray got some attention to his ass as Nona turned up the intensity; his bodied swayed as he processed the increased sensations.

Although private electrical play can go on for hours, according to Mistress Nona's account, TES demos can only go on so long, so it was time for questions and answers, which focused on the theory of electrical play, and the features of the HotBoxx. Then the audience was invited to participate, and a stream of volunteers came forward to feel the sensations of the HotBoxx, applied to the forearms of the eager victims. All pronounced the sensations an interesting experience.

 

TES CELEBRATES LEATHER
by Lolita

Lori, Jessica and the Nekkid Girl coordinated the TES outreach table at GMSMA's Leatherfest. It was a bit nutty because the Gene Frankel Theater had changed the locks on the door and we could not get our stuff. A quick run to raid Purple Passion's stock of calendars and a stripped down outreach table was there for the volunteers to tell all comers all about TES.

Later in the evening, the TES Celebration party was held at Excalibur which is a wonderful intimate space for good play. There were many wonderful scenes including floggings, a hooded bottom in a cage, a big dangerous monster trapped in the other cage and lots of spankings - including a birthday spanking complete with a surprise cake that was shared by all.

A BIG THANK YOU to all the Volunteers that helped make the party happen: AJ the birthday boy, Dee, Jessica and her slave, Jeff, Josh, Kat, Master J, La Rubia, Lisa V, Lolita, Susie Q, and E who brought the most gorgeous food - we loved the sushi!
