Two-Way Tying is a new approach to bondage created by Rough Mercies that facilitates high-energy, aggressive play. Unlike most shibari, Two-Way Tying uses both ends of the rope simultaneously and employs a unique collection of moves to fix and stabilize the wraps. Radical variations on classic harnesses are combined with sling-like “open loops” and “rope chains” to open up novel approaches to suspension.
This class is great for all levels, from beginner to advanced. Anyone who wishes to tie will NEED one or two lengths of 50-foot rope. 45-foot lengths (which can be created from 1 30-foot plus 1 15-foot rope) is adequate for petite bodies, and 60-foot lengths should be procured for larger bodies.

As with most things in BDSM, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all when it comes to Negotiation. Variables include the type and length of scene or dynamic, the participants involved, the location, and the list goes on. Some prefer an organic approach, others a standardized checklist, and even more something in between. We’ll have panelists talk about their preferred styles of negotiation, offer helpful advice on what to ask and listen for, and answer questions from the audience.

Intimate Interrogations, with Mr. Taqtiks

Interrogation is a form of role-play where the Interrogator has some piece of information that they need to extract from the Interrogatee. Intimate Interrogation gives a unique opportunity to take on roles that may be on the edge of or just beyond the usual safety net of power exchange. It also allows a mix of various tools and aspects of BDSM into a single scene for a heightened experience. This is not a class on “military interrogations” as much as a guide on how to engage in this type of play from a lifestyle perspective considering risks and within negotiated limits.
BIO:
Mr. Taqtiks is a military veteran and certified hypnotist. He is currently one of the leaders of the Black Rose Hypnosis Special Interest Group (Wash DC) and is on the organizational team for the Charmed Erotic Hypnosis Conference (Baltimore). He has presented intimate interrogation for a number of other organizations including BlackBEAT (Baltimore), Cloak (NC) and Tawse Manor (New Zealand) and notes that this approach is specific to the BDSM lifestyle and not an instruction on military interrogation.

Rope bondage can be used for so many great things, for restraint, as a component but not total focus of overall play, connection, intimacy and catharsis. This class is about combining all of those things. This style of floor work focuses on a movement based technique, intertwining the Top and bottom, even though only one of them is tied. Boss has been calling this style of play bondage breakdancing, tongue and cheek for a long time, but is sure attendees will see why he calls it this when we are all rolling around on the floor together.
Please bring at least a few pieces of rope, enough for a chest harness and at least a few extra ropes for tying the legs into the body. If you don’t have rope, Boss will have some for sale at the class from his BossBondage.com website. He can also help you with rope selection for the class.

As nice good well respecting bondage citizens, most of us have spent a lot of time in pursuit of nice clean symmetrical bondage. Most of us find it very pleasing to the eye to see nice even bondage work that we have done. Well now it’s time to throw all that out the window.
This class is about letting go of all our notions concerning bondage and start throwing rope among chaos. We will cover some ties that take us down the dark dirty path towards asymmetrical bondage. More than just covering ties though, we will be trying to make up some new ones.
This is the class where you get to really cut loose, experiment and come up with something new and exciting. please bring a few pieces of rope for the hands on portion of the class. If you don’t have rope, Boss will have some for sale at the class from his BossBondage.com website. He can also help you with rope selection for the class.

The BDSM community continues to struggle with consent-related issues, and tried various methods to reduce consent-related conflicts. These methods include banning, outing (abuse, behavior, persona, etc.), flaming on social media, and various functional equivalents. None of these are ultimately satisfactory for everyone or every case.
So what could work, might work? How do we try to understand and communicate our social contract within the kinky community? Possible options are Restorative Justice and Transformative Justice models.
This meeting will be a Roundtable to explore the issues, questions, and ideas for developing such models, led by ChrisMarks, founder of the Conflict Resolution Facilitator (CRF) process and a leader of Incident Response Teams (IRT) at national events. After a short introduction to the concepts and defining some terms, it will be your contributions as attendees that focus the discussion and move it forward. Come, share, and explore with us options for Restorative and Transformative Justice in Kink!

The definition of “sensual” is 1. affecting any of the senses; and 2. relating to gratification of the physical and especially the sexual appetites. Sensual domination encompasses both aspects of the definition, controlling sensations in a sexually charged way. Melding elements of hypnosis, bondage, mind-fuck, touch, sensation play, knife play, percussive play and the sense to tune in to what works for the submissive, learn how to create erotic and fulfilling scenes for yourself and your partner(s).
This class geared for the beginner to intermediate BDSM practitioner, but everyone could find something of use here.

One of the most misunderstood and under explored subgroups of the kink community is fetish workers. Slut shamed, mistaken for other kinds of sex workers, told they aren’t ‘real’ Doms or subs, and in various ways excluded from the general kink population, professional fetish workers have in the past not necessarily participated as openly in our society. In an effort to help bridge the chasm between fetish workers and non-professional kinksters, TES has gathered a panel of fetish workers to come speak about their experiences and answer questions.
Come learn about the world of professional fetish workers, including:

What to expect (and not expect!) when you hire a professional fetish worker
What challenges professional fetish workers face
Some stereotypes that our panelists have encountered over the years, which of them are false, and which of them are true
How our panelists started as fetish workers
What to look for (and what to to avoid) when looking for a professional fetish worker

We will also be reviewing basic performance techniques used by stage hypnotists. These skills are not only helpful for showcasing hypnosis in front of a group, but also for working with subjects who are completely unfamiliar with hypnosis.

Join Efrain John Gonzalez for a look back at New York City since the 1980’s, when the old meatpacking district was packed with some of the kinkiest, sleaziest and craziest bars and one-of-a-kind underground clubs in Manhattan! Gonzo will show you the vanished underground clubs and vaults, illustrating their stories and legends with personal photographs, taken in places famous and infamous, and discuss the impact and activism that grew out of such storied spaces. See such wild and forbidden places like the infamous “Hellfire” club, that got great reviews by John Waters; The gay men’s club “Lure”; or “Mother”, an innovative over-the-top social club on 14th street that held a multitude of music, performance, Goth, queer, transgender, cross-dressing and fantasy events. Witness the recorded life and underground cultures that were part of New York City’s secret and forbidden history; wild, kinky, gender queer and now displaced, and the impact they’ve had on the city today.
Efrain John Gonzalez is a photographer who’s talents with a camera bend to the unusual, the erotic, the unique, the wild and slightly crazy, from the world of body modifications to the universe of radical S&M. An internationally published photographer, for the past 30 years Gonzalez has been seeking real life images that tells a story of people finding the path to their souls, finding their bliss, with piercing, branding, cuttings, tattoos, latex, implants, leather, and a whole lot of radical sex and sexuality. He seeks people who see their bodies as a blank canvas, and allow their imaginations and dreams to come to life upon a living canvas. Whether that canvas be painted with ink, pierced and molded by blade, or covered in latex and leather. What the artist tries to tell us through his lens is the idea that these cultures are a natural outreach of the curious and exploration of the self by those chosen few who’s inner voices dare them to walk down forbidden paths to seek an inner truth.

Please note this Group class is restricted to attendees ages 18 – 35, and their guests.
