Come join TES Board Member and Chair of DMs, Safety, and Socials for an open rope share. Bring rope, learn some new skills, share some you already have! Note: this room requires removal of shoes to protect the floor.

Welcome everyone! Jakal here, with a class that will teach you the basics for creating inescapable ties. Have you ever tried to tie up your friend, partner, cousin, stuffie, kitchen chair, etc just to see if they can get out of it? If you like rope, I bet you have tried this once or twice. I bet you were frustrated if that person was able to escape as well... HAVE NO FEAR! I am here to teach you how to create ties that will have the escape artist in your life cussing up a storm. Hope to see you there! ( This class is intended for partners, but we may have one for you. People should bring 3 - 30 foot hanks of rope or what ever size you like to tie with, we will have some for you if you don't have any, and a good imagination. Presenter Bio: Greetings! Jakal here! I love to teach and extend my knowledge onto others as well as learn new things myself. I pride myself on being approachable almost all of the time so please feel free to come chat. I mainly teach about fire & wax, rope, and rough body play, but have started creating fun games for the kink community as well! As an instructor, I have been teaching kink related materials for about 4 years, and I have just started outwardly seeking more events to teach at. However, I have been teaching people the knowledge in my head for about 15 years. I love to teach people new concepts and ideas regardless of the platform. As a player, I have been doing rope for about 10 years, fire for about 8 years, and rough body play for about 8 years. I also have a bit of marital arts experience as well. I took Taekwondo for about 6 years and I am trained in Army combatives level 1 and 2. I teach completely unconventionally most of the time. I am not the person that enjoys step one, step two, step three, etc. I love to think outside the box on new ways things can be done, especially if it doesn't require as much safety as suspension ties and intricate fire play do. I do like to do an extensive amount of research on things that I like to do though, and if I don't have an answer for students in the class I generally have a good idea of where to find it. Of course rough body play, fire play, and rope can be dangerous, much like anything else that we all love to do, so I go over safety precautions for everything that we will be doing.

What is Hypnosis? How is it kinky? How do you express yourself in BDSM with Hypnosis? Three experienced Hypnokinksters will help unravel the basics of exploring hypnosis and kink with partners, whether you are a subject, hypnotist or some combination. Demonstrations of inductions and how they may be modified to suit the roles of the participants, guidance on negotiation, and ways to care for your partner will help illuminate how to bring hypnosis into your kinky play. Whether you identify as a top or a bottom, a dominant or a submissive, no matter what your experience is, we hope to bring you new information from different perspectives. Creativity, awareness, responsiveness, and an open mind are all ingredients to great intimate hypnotic play, whether sexual, kinky, or just part of shared extraordinary experiences. MrDream, PerfectMonster and GleefulAbandon look forward to helping you add this wonderful toy to your kinky toy bag. --- MrDream has practiced intimate hypnosis from all sides of the watch for many years, and has been teaching others to play with care, caution, consent and communication since 2010. He is an organizer and presenter of hypnokink classes and events, including the Deepmind Darkwood erotic hypnosis retreat as well as the TES Hypnokink Group. He is also the founder of the League of Ethical Evil Hypnotists. Muahahahaha.

She has presented at various conferences including Charmed!, NEEHU, and TES Fest, and is the newest co-facilitator of the TES Hypnosis SIG. If you're ever looking for Pinky, just follow the trail of bubbles GleefulAbandon is a hypnofetishist, submissive, and queer (in multiple senses of the word). After nearly six amazing years in the Scene so far, she is constantly thrilled by the wonderful people and weird experiences (and vice versa) that she encounters.

In this class, Anya Demure will discuss important bottoming skills such as body awareness, communication, and vetting. She will also touch on physical and emotional aspects of safety before, after, and during a scene. This class is for tops, bottoms, and switches alike! These skills are valuable for everyone, so come one come all! In addition to the discussion, there will be a hands on portion where we practice some of these skills, so if you wish to participate, please bring a partner who can tie you, and some rope! If you don't have a partner, you can still practice on yourself. Doors open at 7, class begins at 7:30.

There are several types of pressure points - each is applied differently and each creates a different sensation. ""Pain points"", for example, use tendons, ligaments, and muscles - the goal is to temporarily immobilize the target. With minimal effort, learn how to deliver maximum pain and torment using just your fingers, turning them into Fingers of Death! Ramon is an active member of the NYC BDSM scene, and is involved with various organizations including The Eulenspiegel Society (TES), where he is a Board member as well as a class presenter. In his spare time, Ramon designs and fabricates custom metal BDSM equipment and furniture. He particularly enjoys rope bondage, fire play, single tails, and making pretty girls cry.
