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.

SUMMARY:TES IN PERSON – From Nervous Newbie to Intentional Sub: What I’m Actually Learning
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder what happens when curiosity meets kink and nerves turn into nuance? Join a senior submissive member of the community as he dishes the real lessons from his journey—from anxious newbie to confident\, intentional sub. Expect laughs\, insight\, and ah-ha moments as we explore how mindful service transforms “Am I doing this right?” into “This is exactly where I belong. \nBios:\nKoolWise (he/him) began exploring kink back in the 90s—though his journey took a few unconventional turns before truly taking shape. It wasn’t until 2016\, when he began visiting a professional Domme\, that his curiosity deepened into active discovery. In 2023\, meeting his current Domme opened the door to the broader organized kink and BDSM community\, where he’s found connection\, purpose\, and growth. \nA former schoolteacher\, KoolWise brings a natural gift for reflection and storytelling to his kink journey. He’s passionate about sharing his experiences to help others navigate their own paths with openness\, respect\, and a little bit of wisdom earned from his years of exploration. \n\nLocation:\nThe Center (The Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center)\n208 West 13th Street\,\nNew York\, NY 10011 \nCost:\nMembers: $10\nNon-Members: $25\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.

SUMMARY:TES IN PERSON – Bootblacking 101: Leather Care & Connection
DESCRIPTION:A beginner-friendly dive into the how and why of bootblacking. We’ll cover a bit of history\, break down common materials and tools\, and demonstrate techniques that keep leather looking (and feeling) delicious. We’ll also discuss consent\, service dynamics\, and the flirty magic that can spark over a pair of boots. Designed for the leather-curious\, nervous newbies\, and anyone who’s ever wondered what really happens at a bootblack stand. No experience required—just curiosity and a love for leather. \nBio:\nVikan (she/they) is a queer masochist\, photographer\, and bootblack who’s been active in the NYC kink scene since 2011. A chaos-loving weirdo who is somehow both extremely outgoing and painfully shy\, she runs on snacks\, aerial arts\, and an incurable fascination with leather.

SUMMARY:TES IN PERSON – Erotic Hypnosis 101
DESCRIPTION:Erotic hypnosis is often described as “the chocolate sauce of kink” — delicious on its own\, and great in combination with just about anything else. You can use it to tighten up your bondage\, sharpen your knife play\, add a little punch to your impact scenes\, or just all on its own for good old-fashioned pleasure and power play. Join us for Erotic Hypnosis 101\, an introduction to what hypnosis is (and isn’t)\, how it does (and doesn’t) work\, and how to continue exploring on your own. \nBio:\nSex-Obsessed Lesbian is a kinkster\, kink educator\, and content creator based in the Eastern US; she has been doing hypnosis since just after college\, nerding out about sex since high school\, and making bad puns since approximately forever. Hypnosis turned her on before she even knew what it meant to get turned on\, and the wonderful world of Tumblr taught her that it was an actual thing. Since then\, she’s been romping around the countryside thinking and talking about consent\, creativity\, and ways to do silly and sexy things with people’s brains. \nFind her online: https://linktr.ee/sexobsessedlesbian \n\nLocation:\nThe Center (The Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center)\n208 West 13th Street\,\nNew York\, NY 10011 \nCost:\nMembers: $10\nNon-Members: $25\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.
