We’d love to have you at the TES Monthly Munch!
Whether you’re new to the scene, an old friend, or just curious, our monthly munch is a great opportunity to meet fellow kinksters in a low-key, low-pressure setting. There’s no need to RSVP, and everyone is welcome—you don’t even have to be a TES member to join us!
We gather on the first Monday of every month (if it’s a holiday, we’ll meet on the following Monday) at an alternative lifestyle-friendly diner in NYC. Our hosts will be there to give you a warm welcome and answer any questions. Attending is free; you just pay for your food, and please remember to tip your server well! We also ask that you wear “vanilla” (non-BDSM) clothes.
This is a vanilla event. Respect others’ privacy and consent by not displaying any kink activities in this public space.

This event is held at a public diner, and while we highly encourage all attendees to be vaccinated against COVID-19, we cannot control what the restaurant requires of other patrons. Please assess your own risk and act accordingly. We will have a discreet contact tracing option available, which we encourage you to use.

TES IN PERSON – Bootblacking 101: Leather Care & Connection
2026-04-09 19:30 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
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.
Bio:
Vikan (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. She loves the care, history, and intimacy of well-loved boots—and yes, she absolutely wants to touch yours… if you’ll let her.

TES IN PERSON – Erotic Hypnosis 101
2026-04-23 19:30 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
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.
Bio:
Sex-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.

TES Online – I Got You This…!": Aftercare & Neurodivergent Love Languages
2026-04-28 19:00 - 22:00 | Virtual
Not all aftercare looks like cuddles and snackies—and for neurodivergent folks, traditional ideas of care can feel confusing, overwhelming, or just not quite right. This class explores how neurodivergence can shape our aftercare needs, expressions of affection, and recovery from intense scenes. This class will reframe aftercare as a customizable language of support, one that honors sensory profiles, communication styles, executive function challenges, and the beautifully diverse ways neurodivergent people love and connect. Whether your ideal aftercare is space and silence, a hyper-specific snack, a meme sent three hours later, or a highly curated “I saw this and thought of you” object—this class says: Yes. That counts. Do the thing.

TES Online – Sweet Talk & Mean Whispers: A Masterclass in Verbal Contrast
2026-05-19 19:00 - 22:00 | Virtual
They say talk is cheap, but in the bedroom or the dungeon, the right words can be priceless. The most powerful tool in your kit isn’t necessarily a toy or a restraint; it’s your mind, and it’s your voice. Whether you’re looking to deepen emotional intimacy or command a room with a single sentence, this class is designed to help you find and refine your erotic voice.
This workshop explores the “Verbal Contrast,” the dynamic interplay between sweetness and severity. Strip away the “script” and learn to build a vocabulary that feels natural to you… and electrifying to your partner.
Bonus: These techniques work great in person OR at a distance and can be a great way to maintain your desire when your relationship is virtual or long-distance.
We’ll Cover:

The Verbal Contract: Navigating safety and consent, including how to negotiate verbal triggers, hard limits, and linguistic aftercare.
Overcoming the “Giggle Factor”: Practical exercises to move past the initial awkwardness or “cringe” of dirty talk and find your authentic flow
The Anatomy of “The Three Ts”: How to use tone, tempo, and timber to shift the energy in the room before you even touch your partner.
Verbal Archetypes: Identifying your natural style… whether you are a poetic romantic, a commanding authority, or a playful teaser
The Power of Contrast: Learning how to jump between “Sweet Talk” (validation, adoration, vulnerability) and “Mean Whispers” (commands, assertive language, “trash talk”) to create maximum tension.

Bio:
xoxoDIVA is a creative, unique and insatiable Domme whose deep passion for kink is matched only by her dedication to teaching it. While embodying authority and command, Diva maintains a friendly and approachable demeanor, and loves doing “mean things” with a smile on her face. She finds joy in the nuanced interplay of being both kind and mean simultaneously — a dynamic she loves to explore in her classes.
A dedicated kink educator and seasoned community leader, Diva is driven to share her knowledge. Drawing on her experience, including roles as a Black Rose Emeritus Board Member and Studio 58 staff, she works to empower curious learners to explore their desires and find their authentic selves. Being part of someone’s first steps toward realizing their fantasies is sacred to her, and she takes that obligation very seriously.
This commitment is grounded in open communication and a pledge to creating safe, yet growth-focused, spaces where boundaries can be pushed and new depths of intimacy discovered. She is particularly drawn to students who are confident, committed, and eager to learn. Diva offers highly technical and methodical, yet always entertaining, lessons in a wide variety of scene topics.
Ethics
As a professional kink educator, Diva embraces and upholds the ethical and responsible practices as outlined in the Kink Education Code of Conduct. She has adopted the Kink Education Minimum Standards (KEMS) code of conduct and has nothing to disclose.

TES In-Person - Sensual Capture
2026-05-28 19:30 - 22:00 | Upon Confirmation, In Your Confirmation, New York, NY, 10001, United States
Sensual Capture is a trauma-informed workshop that will give players the framework and tools to safely engage in abduction in play scenes. Players are asked to reflect on what draws them to abduction play, and how to navigate the many risks and sites of both trauma and desire before engaging in play. Players will leave with the key concepts needed to compose a scene. A condensed demonstration of a basic, beginner-level abduction scene will be performed, demonstrating safe, low-impact methods of physiological and physical control.

2026-06-11 19:30 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
Youngscientist and Werin, our TESfest 2025 Chairs of Safety, will be training all volunteers who signed up to be Dungeon Monitors for TES Fest 2026. If you’re interested in learning for future TES events but didn’t sign up, please register anyway—education is knowledge capital for our community.
As a Dungeon Monitor, you’ll learn how to:

Develop skills to facilitate a safe dungeon environment
Work effectively with a team
Communicate respectfully and clearly
Identify possible safety risks
Understand the dos and don’ts of the role
Devise solutions and alternative approaches
To review best practices on skill-based play, and boundaries of consent in a dungeon environment

Bios:
Youngscientist has been active in many facets of the scene for over 15 years. He’s volunteered and worked on staff for at least a dozen organizations throughout that time, including being one of the few Pro-DM’s in the NYC area. Knowledge has been one of his main driving forces, which led him to start teaching early on. He’s probably most well known for teaching Wrestling/Grappling classes and hosting Jello and Lube Wrestling events.
Werin is a longtime member of the NYC/NJ kink community with over 15 years in the scene and as a TES member. She has volunteered across TES and TES Fest in multiple roles, including serving as DM Captain at TES Fest 2025, and regularly DMs at TES events and queer-centered parties like The Rabbit Hole and Transgression.
As Vice Chair of Safety for TES Fest 2026, Werin brings a warm, attentive, and quietly watchful presence. She is committed to creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and genuinely cared for while exploring.
A submissive-leaning switch, she values trust, connection, and the emotional depth of power exchange. She is the partner of Lady Dee and a longtime friend within the community.
Werin is also a transgender woman, nearly four years into her transition and on HRT for over two years. She serves as a trans mentor and is deeply committed to supporting and uplifting trans youths, especially those who may be questioning their place or struggling to feel seen in today’s world.
If you see her around, don’t be shy. She’s approachable, a little playful, and always happy to help. And if she’s off duty and taking a break, she might be open to some soft, cuddly connection… just say hi first.
She tends to notice the quiet things others miss, and she cares more than she lets on.

ONLINE - DM Training for TES Fest 2026
2026-06-16 19:00 - 22:00 | Virtual
Youngscientist and Werin, our TESfest 2025 Chairs of Safety, will be training all volunteers who signed up to be Dungeon Monitors for TES Fest 2026. If you’re interested in learning for future TES events but didn’t sign up, please register anyway—education is knowledge capital for our community.
As a Dungeon Monitor, you’ll learn how to:

Develop skills to facilitate a safe dungeon environment
Work effectively with a team
Communicate respectfully and clearly
Identify possible safety risks
Understand the dos and don’ts of the role
Devise solutions and alternative approaches
To review best practices on skill based play, and boundaries of consent in a dungeon environment

Bios:
Youngscientist has been active in many facets of the scene for over 15 years. He’s volunteered and worked on staff for at least a dozen organizations throughout that time, including being one of the few Pro-DM’s in the NYC area. Knowledge has been one of his main driving forces, which led him to start teaching early on. He’s probably most well known for teaching Wrestling/Grappling classes, and hosting Jello and Lube Wrestling events.
Werin is a longtime member of the NYC/NJ kink community with over 15 years in the scene and as a TES member. She has volunteered across TES and TES Fest in multiple roles, including serving as DM Captain at TES Fest 2025, and regularly DMs at TES events and queer-centered parties like The Rabbit Hole and Transgression.
As Vice Chair of Safety for TES Fest 2026, Werin brings a warm, attentive, and quietly watchful presence. She is committed to creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and genuinely cared for while exploring.
A submissive-leaning switch, she values trust, connection, and the emotional depth of power exchange. She is the partner of Lady Dee and a longtime friend within the community.
Werin is also a transgender woman, nearly four years into her transition and on HRT for over two years. She serves as a trans mentor and is deeply committed to supporting and uplifting trans youths, especially those who may be questioning their place or struggling to feel seen in today’s world.

IN-PERSON - Gift of the Gab: Verbalization for Better Bottoming
2026-06-25 19:30 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
Beyond “talking dirty”, verbalization is the skill of using your words to process pain and sensation, using your words to increase the connection to your top, using your words for proactive consent, and using your words to help you flow in and out of headspace. This class will include drills to help decrease creative inhibition, accurately describe sensation on the fly, and start verbalizing in your own kink practice. This class will be taught from the bottom POV, but there will be a ton for tops to learn and do as they help their bottoms vocalize. Please bring a journal, especially if coming to this class solo.
