IN-PERSON - BDSM 101 with Goddess Coko and Sadomasochist Sal
2025-08-28 19:30 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
Curious about BDSM? Whether you’re a beginner or returning to the scene, this class is your perfect starting point!
We’ll cover consent models, essential safety and negotiation skills, basic vocabulary, roles, and archetypes. Discover what BDSM is (and isn’t!) and how to navigate munches and play parties.
Our goal is to give you the foundation to explore kink safely, solo or with partners. Ready to dive in?
Bio:
Goddess Coko (she/her) had been an active member of the NYC kink scene for over 20+ years. She is happy and excited to be back serving on the TES Board as Secretary, a role she is familiar with when she served on the Board from 2008 to 2009. She returned to this role in November 2023 as an interim Director. Goddess Coko serves as Chair of the Communications and Promotions Committees, Vice Chair of Community Relations, and volunteers on the POC Committee.
Goddess Coko is also a Founding Mother of ONYX PEARLS NY-Northeast and former Co-Head Mistress and Web Mistress for ClubFEM NYC. Goddess Coko is a proud member of Goddess House NJ, a FemDom-led Leather family.
Sadomasochist Sal (he/him/they/them) has been active in the BDSM community since the summer of 2021. During this time, Sal has attended several conventions, including three TESFests, all of which he volunteered at, and has become a regular at several NYC-based play parties and munches. At the end of 2024, he began volunteering at TES, an organization he has been a member of since 2023.
As a sadomasochist, Sal enjoys both receiving and inflicting physical pain when consent is explicitly given. Although he has a particular fondness for impact play, he also enjoys fire play, mummification, trampling, and rope suspension. And he is also a caregiver at heart, as he derives extreme pleasure from sharing his knowledge and experiences with others, especially those newer to the community.

IN-PERSON: Rope and Neurodivergence
2025-09-25 19:00 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
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:

How topping and bottoming rope resonate in this context
Important accommodations and considerations
Neurodivergent-inclusive negotiation, tying, and active bottoming

There will also be time for hands-on exploration for those who are interested, so bring your rope.
Bios:
Knotty 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.
Emji (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.

ONLINE - Off the Leash: Feral States/Play with Tower
2025-09-30 19:00 - 22:00 | Virtual
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. In this class, we will discuss how to tap into this primal state, the forms feral expressions can take and the types of play that emerge. We’ll also discuss how to move safely into and out of feral states and ways to take your inner beast to the next level.
Bio: Tower (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…
TES classes include instruction, Q&A, and TES Circle; class length varies.

IN-PERSON: Trampling for All Bodies with B0ihazard
2025-10-09 19:30 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
There are numerous myths surrounding trampling, many of which are rooted in body negativity or stigma surrounding body size or ability. Please join b0ihazard for this 1.5-hour intensive, specifically designed to accommodate individuals new to trampling and finding their feet. We will go over strategies for balance, and work up from kneeling/stepping onto walking/stomping on our bottoms. We will incorporate pressure point work, impact, and verbal degradation that are specific to trampling. This class is designed to be hands-on, so please come with your practice/partner, and a towel/sheet/yoga mat. Please be rested, fed, hydrated, and free of any substances that could negatively impact your balance. This class is for all bodies, so please contact b0ihazard, and we will work hard to try to make any accommodations for you.
Bios:
b0ihazard (Louis) is a polyamorous, queer trans man, a sadomasochist, and a proud switch. He’s been in the public BDSM scene since 2011. He’s been a (head) DM, a volunteer, and an organizer at parties in NYC and beyond. He’s brought kink education to folks all over the East Coast, specializing in sadistic touch where one’s body is the implement of pain. Outside of kink, he’s a witch, a lover of spreadsheets, a writer of smut, and plays a ton of Dungeons and Dragons.
_Scout_The_Pup (he/they) is a demisexual, switchy, rope-loving nerd. He loves eating pancakes with Maple syrup and has graced New York City and Philadelphia with his baked goods. He can normally be found in the kitchen making something marvelous, at the computer playing a violent video game, at the boffer LARP as one of his many characters, or hanging out with b0ihazard, sometimes under his boot.

Massage for Pain (or Pleasure) with Tower
2025-11-13 19:30 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
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.

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.

ONLINE - Art of the Scene: Crafting the Moment
2025-11-18 19:00 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
A well-crafted scene is more than just a sequence of actions—it’s a dance of intention, sensation, and connection. This class explores the art of designing and executing compelling scenes with purpose, creativity, and mindfulness. Whether spontaneous or meticulously planned, a great scene balances structure with fluidity, intensity with care, and precision with artistry.

What You’ll Learn:

The Flow of a Scene – Understanding the beginning (preparation & meditation), middle (sensory engagement, intensity building, and surprises), and end (closure & aftercare).
Art of Scene Writing – Moving beyond spur-of-the-moment play to create structured, intentional experiences.
Key Elements of a Scene:

Scene summary and defining cast roles
Timeline and pacing
Props and environmental setup
Risk identification and mitigation
Understanding limits—medical, physical, and emotional
Choreographing movement and interaction
The power of music and playlist selection as a timekeeper
The importance of aftercare and reintegration

The class will include discussions, practical insights, and a case study of a complex scene involving all the items above.

Tiptoeing Around Foot Service
2025-12-11 19:30 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
A workshop on service, sensuality, and getting out of your own way.
Is 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. You’ll learn how intention, energy, and action sometimes fall out of sync…and how to bring them back into balance with care and clarity. Whether you’re taking your first steps in kink, seasoned in service, or simply curious to deepen your dynamic, you’ll leave with insight, tools, and a more grounded way to connect (both with others and with yourself).
