ONLINE - TES presents: Age, Disability and BDSM
2020-07-14 19:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York)
The traditional images of BDSM and Kink show long lithe bodies with minimal body fat in tiny outfits accentuating muscular sinewy forms. The fact of the matter is that image represents a small percentage of the kink community. There are many who have disabilities, some invisible, others very visible. In addition to our physical limitations, many of us have suffered life traumas that have affected us in a variety of ways. It has recently been realized that many in the general population suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result. How do we deal with our limitations and still enjoy kink and life? How do we help our partners do so? Sir Guy, a 9/11 first responder who himself deals with cancer, depression and other disabilities leads this discussion.

I am an Emeritus Board Member of The Eulenspiegel Society (TES), Director of MAsT Metro New York, Founder of The Dark Lair: BDSM Support and Education for People of Color, and an Associate Member of ONYX NY/Northeast. He won the International Power Exchange 2013 title. I have presented at MsC several times, Brimstone, TES Fest, The Floating World, LLC, Leather History Preservation Weekend, several MAsT groups, South Jersey Power Exchange, LILNR/LICK and over 30 groups and events.

I lead the committee that runs the local group Alternative Lifestyles Enthusiasts (A.L.E.),. I organize” the weekly Taco Tuesdays event and I am especially passionate about and active in our local polyamory group. My areas of experience are primarily; impact play (everything from fists and palms to whips and everything in between), electricity (specifically the violet wand), and medical play (focused on play piercing and staples).

Overall, my passion is helping people find their way in this lifestyle and helping those who have already found it to navigate it safely and grow personally.

This class / demo will show an arms front rope harness as an example in rope, and then demonstrate how to build it in chain, step by step, with questions being answered as it happens. The objective is to demonstrate how to build a chain harness and basic chain bondage techniques employed.
From the Mid-Atlantic area, Mister(he/him) and CTW(she/her) have been practicing chain bondage for two years. In that time they have developed harnesses that are easy to reproduce, comfortable, and sustainable for bottoms. Their style incorporates different metal fasteners that make the chain work most efficiently for their needs. They have presented their work at various Dark Odyssey events (as IONs), at the North American Rope Innovation eXchange, and online. When not doing chain, they are developing a kinky podcast called “Bondage for Your Mind”. CTW also practices rope bondage on herself and others and has presented and demoed for several local and international events.

ONLINE - TES presents: Discovering Dominance
2020-05-19 19:00 - 22:00
Many and varied are the guides and resources for those who are new to the submissive lifestyle, but those who are new to the Dominant side appear to have limited avenues to explore.

Are they physical skills, like flogging, using the single tail whip, or rope bondage? Is there something deeper, more complicated than that? Sir Guy will discuss the physical, spiritual and psychological dimensions of Dominance as well as sharing his personal journey, mistakes and all. Topics include the attributes of leadership, command presence and other poignant aspects using military, religious and business sources and models to explore and develop Dominance for the beginner.

2020-04-21 19:00 - 22:00
In these uncertain times, we all have lots of questions. While we don’t have the answers to your questions about the lockdown, we may be able to answer your questions about locking down your lover! Join Alex and Madeline, a kinky couple with 16 years of experience in the public BDSM scene, for a BDSM Q&A. What they haven’t experienced, they have probably seen or helped clean up after. No question will be deemed too dumb or basic, and not just because we haven’t negotiated humiliation.
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.

Shermie will teach the basics of “safe” fire play, as oxymoronic as it sounds, including fire fleshing and fire cupping. Within the “What It Is That We Do” community, fire play is considered one of the most dangerous, if not the most dangerous, form of play. It can also be an intensely sensual form of edge play. It’s classified as edge play simply because out-of-control flame could result in terrible consequences. This class will go over safety techniques and basic kinds of fire play.
Shermie has been in the scene for well over a decade. Subjects he has taught include fire play, dry and wet (blood) cupping, suturing, pallet wrap suspension and mummification, BDSM and Dungeon 101, as well as needle play. He has also taught about sex, health and kink at Columbia Presbyterian Medical School and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

POSTPONED - Kink And Neurodiversity: An Open Discussion with Vircotto
2020-03-24 19:30 - 22:00 | The Loft, 245 W 29th St, 11th floor, New York, NY, 10013, 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, including 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 The Eulenspiegel Society on 3/24 for our second discussion on this important topic.
The discussion will be facilitated by Vir Cotto, a kinkster and occasional presenter. Vir identifies as neuro-divergent, having learning disabilities and ADHD. Struggling with the challenges associated with being “twice exceptional” Vir has an understanding of these challenges of being “different” and can share his insight on both the difficulties that neuro-non-typical people feel, as well as the challenges associated with creating a welcoming, accommodating spaces. Vir Cotto is a kinkster living in New York City and Vancouver, Canada. He’s also a vanilla geek with a focus on individual empowerment and taking back control of your technology. Vir been involved with the BDSM community since 2015 and has volunteered and presented for TES in the past. In his spare time, he likes to write about BDSM and his journey. Both inside and outside of Kink, Vir likes to let his geek flag fly.

Knife play 101 with Kanan
2020-03-03 19:30 - 22:00 | The Loft, 245 W 29th St, 11th floor, New York, NY, 10013, United States
Interested in bringing a knife to a kink scene? This class will be an overview of knife play including safety and cleaning, different types of knives, ways to incorporate knife play into your scenes, sensation vs. cutting (blood play), how to negotiate a knife play scene, and what to do if things go wrong (first aid). This class will be broken down into these separate sections with a short break in the middle as well as a brief bit of Q&A after each part.
Kanan is a kinkster who joined the NYC kink scene about a decade ago to explore another side of myself and to express their creativity in different ways. Impact player, rope bondage enthusiast, sensation top, and a kinkster with a camera. Knife play is something they have done for the majority of their kink lifestyle in various ways from wax play to fear play, and they especially enjoy combining it with other types of scenes. Kanan is excited to share their knowledge and experience with others in a pointed discussion.
Quinn has been in and out of various kink scenes for about 8 years, often facilitating discussions or putting together workshops to explore the introduction to and deeper philosophy of BDSM. She identifies primarily as a submissive, impact and rope bottom, and a sacred object. Quinn has enjoyed being threatened with knives since she first discovered she was kinky, and loves talking about the fun and fear behind the desire with others. She works as a sex educator and event planner for her “day job”.

The Soft Objects Party
2020-02-29 20:00 - 2020-03-01 02:00
Join us for a kinky exploration of texture and vibe.
Come through in your velvets, feathers, satins, flannels, fleeces, fuzzies, furs, and fluffs. Show up at your most chill, flexible, patient, fluid, gentle, and malleable. Challenge yourself to inflict and receive new levels of pain (and maybe even pleasure) using the most tender, quiet, delicate, pliable, squishy, downy, cushy instruments you can find. And when you’re done, relax into a comfy corner, enjoy some silky-smooth treats, and decompress.
But that’s not all. Join us for our pre-party munch at the Bread and Butter Café from 7:30-9pm. The munch is a GREAT way to meet people in a low-key, non-kinky setting.

Hypno SIG: Hypnosis and D/s
2020-02-26 19:30 - 22:00 | The Loft, 245 W 29th St, 11th floor, New York, NY, 10013, United States
Fantasies about hypnosis often focus on control. While the hypnotist does not have to be dominant, and the subject does not have to be submissive, hypnotic play often explores those tropes. In this class, we’ll see how D/s fantasies come to life through hypnosis, in both short-term play and long-term dynamics. Taught by a Dominant and submissive in a years-long hypnotic relationship, we will show ways to share the intensity of hypnotic power exchange while still being fully based on consent.
While this class does not teach introductory hypnosis techniques, beginners interested in exploring D/s are encouraged to attend.
MrDream (David) has been organizing and presenting for the Hypnokink community since 2010. He is a co-founder of the Hypnosis New York group, the Deepmind Darkwood hypnosis retreat, and has attended all of the NEEHUs and taught classes on hypnosis, kink, intimacy, sex and romance nationally. He is the founder of the League of Ethical Evil Hypnotists; muahahahaha. He is a former board member for TES.
GleefulAbandon is a submissive hypnofetishist. In addition to being a hypnokink educator, she has also written professionally about her fetish. She is an active volunteer for TES as Media Representative.
