September 15, 2020 @ 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM ONLINE – TES presents: Coming Out as Kinky with Medical Professionals with @DISIRability Join Angela Car as we discuss the importance of coming out as kinky with doctors, nurses, counselors, physical therapists, etc. Having a physical disability and mental health concerns, Angela has spent a lot of time in doctor's offices and hospitals. She is also in a 24/7 total power exchange dynamic on the right side of the slash. Angela will talk about advocating for her health needs and challenging professional's biases she has encountered around her kinky D/s identity. I am a Sex Positive Disability Educator/Advocate who was born with Spina Bifida sharing my unique perspective navigating relationships, sex and intimacy. I educate through story telling and sharing my own lived experience. I am in a 24/7 Power Exchange Dynamic on the right side of the slash. I've noticed that many other people with disabilities were also interested in kink and power-exchange, so I started a podcast DISIRabilityALT (http://DISIRabilityAlt.castos.com) to explore Disability, Desire, and Alternative Relationships.

October 6, 2020 @ 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM ONLINE – TES presents: Me, Myself, and Metamour: The Myths, Methods, and More of Sharing a Partner with @Ode2Joy In the poly world, one of the biggest dreams isn’t about finding the perfect partner, but the perfect metamour, a person who fits into your relationship structure, fulfills your communication needs, and overflows with compersion 24/7. Unfortunately, that dreamed for person isn’t always the person your partner wants to get involved with. In this class, Ode2Joy will help attendees navigate the complicated interpersonal relationships created when you share a partner with others by breaking down her learned-through-experience methods of making things better with a metamour or making them worse! As a plus, she’ll discredit a few metamour myths along the way. Bio coming soon. To participate, simply visit https://datingkinky.com/TES-Tuesdays every Tuesday, at 7pm.
