IN PERSON – Life in Plastic: Doll Play with Alex and Madeline Wrapped in Plastic, it's Fantastic
2023-11-16 19:30 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
Hi Barbie! Doll play is a broad topic that has many more facets than some people realize. This class will give an overview of the types of doll play that are commonly done and how different forms can be adjusted depending on the doll’s body, needs, and the desires of those involved. We will discuss resources for doll play, including how to find or make doll clothes, what kind of accessories are commonly (or uncommonly) used, etc. We will cover the different kinds of headspace that might occur during doll play, and how it differs from “normal” bottom headspace. We will also show our personal transformation process and the kinds of fun that can be had with our particular dolly.
Alex and Madeline are both trained scientists who love to use their analytical minds and love of learning both in the bedroom and the dungeon. They have been very active in the Chicago, Minneapolis/St. Paul and now New York communities, helping to run BDSM organizations, assisting with large-scale events, and teaching classes on various edge play techniques. They have a reputation for enjoying some of the odder branches of BDSM play and for being lucky to have found each other’s sick minds. Alex can be found on Fetlife at ninjajuicer and Madeline can be found at saltygoodness

TES has returned to IN PERSON classes every other Thursday, now at The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center, AKA The Center!!!

ONLINE - Conflict In Kink with Ember Solaris
2024-01-23 19:00 - 22:00 | NY
Conflict can be scary, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, it can be a catalyst for greater growth and connection. What’s important is how you handle it. Based on supported research from several fields, this class cuts through the extra stuff and the conventional advice to cover interpersonal skills for conflict management such as compromise, awareness, and emotion regulation for happier, healthier kinksters. You’ll learn what conflict is (and what it isn’t), how to recognize healthy vs. unhealthy conflict, repair after relationship ruptures, and practical tips for ensuring the conversations go well. These skills are applicable in families, vanilla life, dynamics, communities, and anywhere where disagreements come up. Whether you avoid conflict at all costs or have never minded getting into the thick of it, this class is for all.
Ember Solaris has been active in the BDSM community for about a decade. They are a social scientist, psychologist, neuroscientist, and social worker. They research emotions/emotion regulation, interpersonal relationships, trauma, addictive behaviors, etc. They are also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Interpersonal Therapy, the Gottman Approach, and more, but do not currently practice. They primarily work in academic research. Ember dabbles in professional BDSM. They have a Primal Mate dynamic with their partner, and explore the boundaries of S&M/Edge Play, Primal Play, Femdom, and many other interests with their play partners.
TES classes include instruction, Q&A and TES Circle.

ONLINE - Emotional First Aid For Kinksters with Ember Solaris
2024-02-13 19:00 - 22:00 | NY
What’s in your emotional first aid kit? First coined by Guy Winch, the term emotional first aid refers to a set of skills used to respond to emotional injuries we ourselves or others may experience. The first responses to a situation can drastically affect the outcome, whether it’s responding to your partner losing their job, or someone you know who has experienced a major consent violation. Take moments of pain and turn them into opportunities for connection. In this class, you will learn and practice easy steps for assessing situations, responding appropriately, and the next steps to take; all while protecting yourself from being emotionally injured or further injured. Practical application is discussed for kink communities/dynamics and addresses some of the emotional injuries that are unique to our spaces.
Ember Solaris has been active in the BDSM community for about a decade. They are a social scientist, psychologist, neuroscientist, and social worker. They research emotions/emotion regulation, interpersonal relationships, trauma, addictive behaviors, etc. They are also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Interpersonal Therapy, the Gottman Approach, and more, but do not currently practice. They primarily work in academic research. Ember dabbles in professional BDSM. They have a Primal Mate dynamic with their partner, and explore the boundaries of S&M/Edge Play, Primal Play, Femdom, and many other interests with their play partners.
TES classes include instruction, Q&A and TES Circle.

IN PERSON – Three Decades Plus Of The Black Male Submissive Experience with houseslave2000
2024-02-15 19:30 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
The trials and tribulations of anyone who travels in the field of the fetish world can be very daunting and enlightening. Based on one man’s experience, this is very challenging, yet meaningful in terms of how to handle himself in the throes of BDSM as well as taking those lessons and applying it to regular, vanilla life. Let’s discuss how someone can turn anything into a positive and learning lesson, even in the face of negativism in a place that misleads all into thinking there is solace in its being.
Chucky (@houseslave2000), has been a submissive for more than 30 years; most of that time based in NYC. He is a long time TES member, current board member and frequent presenter. Chucky has been a houseboy at almost every known dungeon (The Parthenon, Pandora’s Box, The Den of Iniquity, Arena/Blaze,The Crown/Taillor Group, Nutcracker Suite, etc.) in NYC, while serving some of the most prestigious Dommes (Even having an integral role in the ‘development’ of some) in the scene. He thrives in intense scenes and has been known to be a bit playful while at the mercy of Sadists who only want to see him suffer. When he is not in service, you may see him behind a bar at a fetish event, holding and serving you drinks with a big smile, or behind the scenes helping curate spaces and building community.

TES has returned to IN PERSON classes every other Thursday, now at The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center, AKA The Center!!!
TES classes include instruction, Q&A and TES Circle. Class length varies.
Please bring a legal ID to verify your age, and be prepared to show proof of a primary course of COVID vaccination and proof of having received a booster or wear a KN95 mask while in our class space.

By default, users’ cameras and microphones will be switched off, and you may simply watch passively or participate solely by text in the chat box if you are uncomfortable being seen or heard. Please note that while we have selected this platform to be as private as possible while maintaining sufficient ease of use for participants, no online platform is ever fully secure. While all regular TES rules regarding privacy remain in effect, and anyone caught violating these rules will be subject to consequences (please see our Online Meeting Terms of Service), we advise participants to treat online events as though the event is being recorded by a third party. For more information on protecting your online privacy, please see our online privacy guide.
