TES IN PERSON – Erotic Hypnosis 101 April 23 @ 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM LGBT Community Center 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 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 April 28 @ 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM 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. Bio: Reed has been a local and traveling queer & poly kink educator since 2021. They have taught at Charmed! 2024 & 2025, TES Fest 2024, CTUmind, and many more events/dungeons in the Tri-State Area. Additionally, they are ConCom for Charmed!, the hypnosis convention; they run the dungeon, and have been a DM since 2021. They are a service dog, switch, heavy masochist, and all-around chaotic cryptid kinkster. They are always looking to expand their skills, specializing in supporting neurodivergence in kink.
