Tongue Sharper Than Your Teeth - Erotic Humiliation with Lady Barbie Dahl
2019-05-01 19:30 - 22:00 | The Alchemical, Studio D, 104 West 14th street, New York, NY, 10011, United States
“Don’t be mean!” “You shouldn’t say that.” How many times have you heard this in your life? Or, how about this doozy: “if you don’t have something nice to say then you shouldn’t say anything at all.” While that might be good advice for vanilla society, forget all that crap and embrace your inner Mean Girl while you explore erotic humiliation, a very subjective form of play that is not the same for everyone and is taboo for most people.
Consensual erotic humiliation oftentimes involves embarrassment, degradation, dehumanization, objectification…a delightful mix of emotions that we normally don’t get to revel in within our daily interactions. It can be quite enjoyable but is, at the same time, an intense and very intimate form of edgeplay that can sting like a whip, burn like fire and cut like a knife. It can be extremely fulfilling and cathartic but is also fraught with emotional dangers for both Top and Bottom. Why would anyone want to play this way? How can you do this safely? What’s the turn-on?
Please join Barbie Dahl as she expounds upon a subject that she revels in, get a different perspective and answers to these and other questions, exploring erotic humiliation in its many different forms.
Lady Barbie Dahl AKA Antonia [the Yin of the Twins (see thrash)] is a fetish model, BDSM educator and whip artist, a boy-to-Girl Transformer, a sharp-tongued Humiliatrix and a well known attention whore. She has appeared in many FemDom videos alongside such superior Women as Mistress Trish, Miss Mona Rogers, Amy Brooke, Domina M, VeVe Lane, Goddess Severa and Domina Nix, as well as studios like The NYC Rubberstudio, Doom Maidens, K is for Kink and Rapture. She has also been photographed by such Artists as Barbara Nitke, Mariette Pathy Allen, Efrain Gonzalez, Natasha Gornik and SpecificKink. Antonia works almost exclusively as a submissive and “Damsel in Distress” but lately she has been considering her Dominant side, learning the fine arts of ‘instigating,’ ‘shit stirring’ and ‘piling on’ in her role as a sadistic sidekick to her Dominant Goddesses. She has recently realized and accepted her inner superiority and now identifies as a Sadistic Switch, incorporating this new perspective in the classes she presents on multiple subjects from Crossdressing and the skills involved in being a Woman to Animal Roleplay, from Singletails and Pain Processing to Humiliation et al.

Intro to Needleplay
2019-04-16 19:30 - 22:00 | NY
Ever been curious about needles? Have you watched in rapt horror or total fascination and wondered, “Why do people do this as a kink? What does the Top get from it and what is the experience the bottom wants and has as well?” Join us as we talk about the basics of diving into the bloody beginner end of the kink medical play pool. This class will cover kink needle basics: types of needles, safety and health issues, how to safely set up a scene space at play parties, where to stab, materials used, how to take care of your bottom, resources and more. There will be handouts on where to buy supplies and
other really neat information.
We will also cover safety and motivations for Tops: issues that may arise, how to handle them, and a discussion of how to negotiate and best consent practices for planning a needle scene.
Bottoming to needles will be covered as well. There is more than just lying down and taking it! SirusCyn and Simone B. are both knowledgeable needle bottoms and will share their input and advocacy for being a bottom as well.
There will be fun demos and some inspirational images of the different styles of needle play, from decorative to the downright bloody extreme, to give the audience a sense of the variety of things done with needle play.
Disclaimer: There will be blood during class. Please be aware if you are sensitive to this kind of subject matter, this might not be the class for you. We welcome you to ask for a handout or info outside of class if you are interested.
Simone B. (she/her) has a been a lifestyle switch in the NYC kink scene for 5+ years. She is also a professional Dominant and enjoys the crazier bloodier side of the kink scene. She currently co-runs a Women’s Domination party The Goddess Loft and hosts the ongoing medical play party Welcome to the Infirmary.

Sirus (she/her), a queer, fat-positive bottom, has been in the NYC kink scene for a little over two years. She has always liked having her blood drawn at the doctor’s, so it’s no surprise that she loves needle play. When not being made to bleed, she can be found receiving sadistic leg/foot rope, getting punched, or snuggling her dogs.

Doors open at 7, class begins at 7:30. If you will require the elevator, please call ahead: (212) 675-1390.

2019-04-10 19:30 - 22:00 | NY
One of the most iconic DW/sm activities is ballbusting. From the classic image of a latex-clad domina pressing her stiletto heel into her submissive’s groin to the sharp sting of a finger-flick against the scrotum by a giggling princess – or prince! – there are myriad directions from which to approach this flavor of genitorture. This class will explore some of the many motivations behind this kink, several techniques, and a discussion of safety and health considerations.

Kink And Neurodiversity: An open discussion
2019-03-26 19:30 - 22:00 | The Alchemical, Studio 1, 104 West 14th street, New York, 10011, United States
Our community celebrates diversity in its many forms, including sexuality, gender, kink, religion, and race. We are at the forefront of standing up for disabilities as well and provide accommodation for people with physical challenges of various forms, as well as reduced scent environments. We provide helpful information for those of us who suffer from depression and other forms of mental illness, providing a safe place to talk about our challenges. But one area of challenge in our community is around the topic of neurodiversity.
Neurodiversity is the idea that neurological differences are recognized, understood and accepted. These include many forms of invisible disabilities, including Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyscalculia, Autistic Spectrum, Tourette Syndrome, as well as others.
Individuals with neurological differences in the kink community speak of feeling marginalized and excluded, while kink organizers struggle with issues of wanting to provide an atmosphere that feels safe and welcoming to all.
Come join us for an open discussion on March 26th run by The Eulenspiegel Society on this important topic.
The discussion will be facilitated by Vir Cotto, a kinkster and occasional presenter. Vir identifies as neuro-divergent, heaving learning disabilities, ADHD. Struggling with the challenges associated with being “twice exceptional” Vir has an understanding of these challenges of being “different” and can provide insight on both the difficulties that neuro-non-typical people feel, as well as the challenges associated with creating a welcoming, accommodating spaces.
All are welcome to the discussion on March 26th. Neurodivergent kinksters, as well as community organizers, are especially welcome.

2019-03-12 19:30 - 22:00 | NY
This class explores the intensity and emotions that may be experienced during the scene, incorporating experiences from both the top and bottom perspectives.
As we walk down the path of rope education and exploration, we at some point spot a scene that just blows us away. The connection, intensity, pace and flow just seems completely in sync and the people involved seem to meld into a cohesive unit. In each of these scenes the intensity and emotional levels are controlled by both the top and bottom as if in a dance.
This class is aimed at :
– all levels of bottoms
– riggers who are able to tie a chest harness while carrying a conversation.

TES Hypno Group: Setting Your Subjects Up for Success, with Sex-Obsessed-Lesbian
2019-02-27 19:30 - 22:00 | NY
“I don’t think I was really in trance.” “But I was still able to move my arm.” “I’m a really difficult subject.” “I guess I just can’t be hypnotized.” Most of us have heard these sentiments, from our subjects or friends or even our own brains. This kind of thinking can lead to, at best, self-doubt, and at worst, someone deciding that hypno just isn’t for them. How can we as ‘tists make sure that our subjects have a successful and empowering trance experience, and come away from it knowing that hypnosis is a thing that they can do?

In this class, we’ll explore this very question, and discuss the things that ‘tists can do to help their subjects succeed. Some of the topics we’ll cover: pre-talk and negotiation; safety; choosing the right inductions and triggers; and how to respond when your subject says, “That didn’t work!”

Subject-inclined folks are more than welcome as well: we would love to hear your thoughts on these questions! And if you feel like a quote-unquote difficult subject, we hope we can give you a new perspective!

In this class, Sasori will cover his favorite brands of sadistic play, including pressure points, hand based impact, and body manipulation. We will cover the concept of each type of play, basic technique, risks involved, and negotiation considerations.
This is a hands on class so if possible bring a partner who is comfortable with sadistic play, no equipment is required or used in this class. If you don’t have a partner to learn with, feel free to come observe!

TES Presents: BDSM and the Onset of a Chronic Physical Illness
2019-02-19 19:30 - 22:00 | NY
What do you do when you’re a masochist, but don’t consent to the physical pain brought on by your own body? How can you feel comfortable in your submissive role when you feel like you can’t serve to the best of your ability? Or dominate when you’re in too much pain to move? Developing a chronic physical illness can be challenging for anybody, but it may be especially challenging in our context. This class will focus on what it is like to have a chronic physical illness while in the kink community. We will discuss how limits/negotiation might change, how to fulfill your kinky needs, and learning how to accept this new part of you and integrate it into new or existing dynamics.

TES Novice & Newcomers Group: Massage 101
2019-02-06 19:30 - 22:00 | The Alchemical, Studio D, 104 West 14th street, New York, NY, 10011, United States
If you’ve been to any public dungeon or play party, you’ve heard it a thousand times. “Please Mistress, may I touch your feet!” And yet everywhere there are tops and Dom(mes,) yearning for great massage service, prefering to go untouched then suffer another abysmal service massage. Furthermore, a communal lack of skill in the art of bodywork doesn’t just affect the service-oriented quotient of kinksters. How often have you heard “I’m not warmed up enough for that tie” or “I’m having a hard time coming down” or “I’m really droppy after that convention…” These situations might seem like par for the course–a hazard of doing what we do. Or, to the initiated, the perfect time to use a bit of cocoa butter, and get in there with both hands. No matter your role, gender or other fetishes, this class is designed for you to help you get better at using your hands to touch people.
Louis (DanceInMyPants) is a sex educator by trade, a consent nerd by calling, and the kinky boy next door. Louis is a polyamorus trans dude, a massage enthusiast, a sadomasochist and a proud switch. He’s been rubbing feet and taking names since 2011. Out of kink, he’s a born and bred Brooklynite, a witch, a lover of spreadsheets, a writer of smut, and plays a ton of Dungeons and Dragons.
Novice & Newcomers classes are open to all, but accessible to those who are new to the scene, the subject, or the area. Experienced members of the community are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Doors open at 7, class begins at 7:30. If you will require the elevator, please call ahead: (212) 675-1390.
