SUMMARY:TES Online - Discovering Dominance: A Guide to the Dominant Beginner
DESCRIPTION:Many and varied are the guides and resources for those who are new to the submissive lifestyle\, but those who are new to the Dominant side appear to have limited avenues to explore.

Sir Guy will discuss the physical\, spiritual\, and psychological dimensions of Dominance\, as well as share his personal journey\, mistakes\, and all. Topics include the attributes of leadership\, command presence\, and other poignant aspects using military\, religious\, and business sources and models to explore and develop Dominance for the beginner. \nBio: \nSir Guy (He/Him) is a covered Master\, Dominant Leatherman\, educator\, author\, and activist. He heads the House of the Black Panther and leads the group\, The Dark Lair: a BDSM Education and Support group for People of Color. \nSir Guy has been in the lifestyle for 20+ years\, has held several organizational leadership roles\, and has also held a title.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Tips & Tricks for Tentative Tops
DESCRIPTION:A class focusing on the skills needed to overcome anxiety and embrace your inner sadist. Do you find yourself struggling with impostor syndrome or unsure how hard to play with your partner? Don’t know where to start to gain the skills you need to participate in the BDSM lifestyle you crave?

She briefly modeled for several kink sites such as Hard Tied\, Infernal Restraints\, and Kink.com.  Since retiring from modeling in 2010\, she has been focusing on tying and creating dynamic scenes for her and her play partners at various events around the country\, as well as studying as many aspects of BDSM as she can.  During the pandemic\, the well-timed purchase of a suspension rig for her home allowed her to fine-tune certain rope skills and dive deeper into personal 24/7 D/s relationships.  She runs a large Discord for all NJ Kinksters and recently started her own small leather house\, The Moth House\, dedicated to Queer joy\, community & education. \n\nTO REGISTER\nMEMBERS – $5\n\nCreate a Member Portal account using the same email address used when you purchased your membership.

SUMMARY:IN-PERSON: Bondage Basic Training (BBT)
DESCRIPTION:Basic training is where every enlistee learns very little of very many topics\, very quickly\, to straighten out every rookie just enough to survive unit life in the armed services. This class is a similar approach to rope bondage. Participants can expect to run through the basic building blocks of tying somebody up\, without the frills. We will cover setting the scene\, handling and extending rope\, single-column ties\, double-column ties\, chest harnesses\, crotch ropes\, how to utilize gags and blindfolds\, and a few of the basic positions. It’s rope bondage basics with a practical focus\, leaving the participant to explore further after this class as they advance in their chosen bondage MOS.  \nRequirements: Attendees to bring their own rope\, shears\, and a mat/blanket. The rope can be any material\, ideally 2-4 lengths of 30-foot pieces and 4-6 lengths of 15-foot pieces. The space has no mats\, and participants should bring a blanket or mat to tie on.  \nBringing a tying partner is strongly recommended; while observers are welcome\, not all of the ties will be possible to practice on one’s own.  \nThis class will assume a functional understanding of consent\, negotiation\, and bondage safety\, but no rope-specific prerequisites. \nBios: \nPresenter: CadburyBunny has been doing bondage for as long as he cares to remember\, batting for both teams as both a rigger and captor\, as well as somewhat of a serial bondage captive and damsel in distress at this point. Growing up on a small island about eight hours from Japan\, he does appreciate pretty kinbaku and suspension. Still\, he is probably more partial to being tied and gagged in any manner that is inescapable and authentic\, using anything from rope and steel to tape and torn pieces of clothing. One friend and victim has broadly described his style as being whatever is needed to get the job done\, and the subsequent desecrating and violating underway. \nDemo Subject: LadyPraise serves an important role as the foil and “yes-and” improv partner for CadburyBunny’s whacky shenanigans. She ties with him regularly enough\, but there’s no promise as to who ends up on the receiving end any given day\, as tends to happen when two switches race for the bottom. CadburyBunny is thankful\, all the same\, for all the chaos switch energy she brings – and for today\, she will be his class demo subject. \n\nLocation & Cost:\nLocation: \nThe Center (The Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center)  \n208 West 13th Street\,  \nNew York\, NY 10011 \nCost: \n\nMembers: $10\nNon-Members: $25\n\nRegistration in advance is strongly encouraged due to limited internet access at the venue. \nNote: Each attendee will need to have a separate account to register. \nRegistration Instructions\nIf You Already Have an Account\n\nRegister: Click here to go to the class registration page.\nLog in: Use your existing account information to log in and register for the class.

DESCRIPTION:A workshop on service\, sensuality\, and getting out of your own way. \nIs your foot service scene all soles and no soul? This playful\, practical\, permission-filled workshop explores and corrects common missteps in service-based touch through three core layers: embodied communication\, polarity\, and hands-on foot-focused connection.

SUMMARY:Massage for Pain (or Pleasure) with Tower
DESCRIPTION:Massage is the quintessential topping.  Traditional massage techniques teach how to manipulate\, maneuver\, stroke\, and strike a body to get the desired results.  While for the most part this result is pleasurable\, the same techniques can be used to cause intense\, controlled pain.  Fundamentals of massage will be covered\, so even those who only intend to use these skills for less than nefarious purposes will benefit.  The class is a combination of presentation and hands-on practice as time and space allows. \nBios:  \nTower (fka Joshua HighTower) has been involved in New York’s BDSM scene for most of his life\, having presented dozens of times for The Eulenspiegel Society\, Long Island Leather and Roses\, and Conversio Virium as well as at events including TES Fest\, IMsL\, Black Rose\, Fusion\, Fet Fest\, Winter Wickedness\, and Leather Leadership Conference. In addition to being cofounder of TES-TNG\, he was involved in the initial conceptualization and proliferation of the TNG movement. Nothing makes him happier than seeing what makes people tick and seeing folks use what he taught them. Well\, okay\, maybe there are a couple of things… \nDemo bottom: \nLex Lively realized that she might be into impact play when she would look for any excuse to be paddled while in a sorority during her time in college. While fairly new to the public scene\, she has spent the last few years learning and exploring\, discovering new things that excite her almost constantly. She lives up to her name\, meeting each moment with energy and enthusiasm\, always looking forward to the next adventure. \nLocation and Cost\nLocation: \nThe Center (The Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center)  \n208 West 13th Street\,  \nNew York\, NY 10011 \nCost: \n\nMembers: $10\nNon-Members: $25\n\nRegistration in advance is strongly encouraged due to limited internet access at the venue. \nNote: Each attendee will need to have a separate account to register. \nOnline Registration:\nIf You Already Have an Account\n\nRegister: Click here to go to the registration page.\nLog in: Use your existing account information to log in and register for the class.

SUMMARY:ONLINE - Off the Leash: Feral States/Play with Tower
DESCRIPTION:Some animals are made to be tamed…to be harnessed as beasts of burden or coddled as pets. Some can only be sated\, and woe be to those who stand between these feral beasts and their prey. Others are runts of the pack\, knowing only the pathetic existence as the Omega.

SUMMARY:IN-PERSON: Rope and Neurodivergence
DESCRIPTION:This class will explore the fascinating intersection of rope and neurodivergence. We’ll delve into how elements like deep pressure\, clear communication\, sensory stimulation\, and grounding\, which are central to both BDSM and neurodivergence\, beautifully overlap within the community. Drawing from both lived autistic/neurodivergent experience and extensive rope practice\, the class will discuss and demonstrate: \n\nHow topping and bottoming rope resonate in this context\nImportant accommodations and considerations\nNeurodivergent-inclusive negotiation\, tying\, and active bottoming\n\nThere will also be time for hands-on exploration for those who are interested\, so bring your rope. \nBios: \nKnotty Chris (he/him): Chris is a bottom/sub-leaning switch deeply involved in the NYC rope and kink scene since January 2024. He views rope & bondage as a connective somatic language and BDSM as a form of self-expression\, shared energy\, and joyful co-creation. As a passionate community builder and neurodivergent kinkster\, Chris organizes two local munches (the movie-focused CineMunch and the neurodivergent-centered The Yap)\, and facilitates the Bushwick Rope Share and the movie night/rope jam CineNawa. \nEmji (they/them): With a decade of experience in feeling\, interacting\, and connecting with rope\, Emji\, “the ‘little’ rigger\,” deeply values the connection between bottom and rigger. Their first and greatest love is rope\, and they are a strong advocate for active bottoming and thorough negotiation. When not engaged in rope experiences and education\, Emji enjoys “little” adventures with their “little” friends around the city. \nLocation and Cost\nLocation: \nThe Center (The Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center)  \n208 West 13th Street\,  \nNew York\, NY 10011 \nCost: \n\nMembers: $10\nNon-Members: $25\n\nRegistration in advance is strongly encouraged due to limited internet access at the venue. \nNote: Each attendee will need to have a separate account to register. \nOnline Registration:\nIf You Already Have an Account\n\nRegister: Click here to go to the registration page.\nLog in: Use your existing account information to log in and register for the class.
