July 14, 2020 @ 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM ONLINE – TES presents: Age, Disability and BDSM 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 live in a 24/7 Master/slave relationship. I've been active in the scene for over a decade. 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.

July 28, 2020 @ 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM ONLINE – TES presents: BDSM Q&A – Ask the Weirdos Edition with ninjajuicer and saltygoodness 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.

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.
