  • Ready, Aim, Flog! with Sudisa

    Floggers are wonderful impact tools, from stingy to thuddy to sensual and all points in between. Let's put a flogger in your hands so you and your bottom can have as much fun as possible. This hands-on class will offer some ideas for you to add this versatile item to your repertoire and create fabulous flogging scenes. Presenter Bio: I am a skilled top and domme and have been active in the local community for about five years. I got hooked on flogging at my first play party. After a few scenes, I purchased some floggers to keep in my toy bag so I could always be ready in case I found a willing top. It was on a whim during the summer of 2017 that I purchased a matched set of floggers and set out to learn Florentine flogging. Within no time I had my first flogging scene as a top! I continue to practice and love to arrange flogging scenes as often as I can. I have since developed beginner classes that were held at the local dungeon. I'm always happy to demonstrate the art of flogging with others. Doors open at 7, class begins at 7:30. If you will require the elevator, please call ahead: (212) 675-1390.

  • Off the Leash: Feral States/Play with Tower

    Some animals are made to be tamed...to be harnessed as beasts of burden or coddled as pets. Some can only be sated, and woe be to those who stand between these feral beasts and their prey. Others are runts of the pack, knowing only the pathetic existence as the Omega. In this class we will discuss how to tap into this primal state, the forms feral expressions can take and the types of play that emerge. We'll also discuss how to move safely into and out of feral states and ways to take your inner beast to the next level. Doors open at 7, class begins at 7:30.

  • TES Fest Redux! Two Decades Plus of the Black Male Submissive Experience with HouseSlave2000

    The trials and tribulations of anyone who travels in the field of the fetish world can be very daunting and enlightening. Based on one man’s experience, this is very challenging, yet, meaningful in terms of how to handle himself in the throes of BDSM as well as taking those lessons and applying it to regular, vanilla life. Let’s discuss how someone can turn anything into a positive and learning lesson, even in the face of negativism in a place that misleads all into thinking there is solace in its being. Chucky (Houseslave2000), who has been a part of the NYC fetish scene for over 25 years, is inconspicuous, yet, fairly recognizable! He has been a houseboy at almost every known dungeon (The Parthenon, Pandora’s Box, The Den of Iniquity, Arena/Blaze,The Crown/Taillor Group, Nutcracker Suite, etc.) in NYC, while serving some of the most prestigious Dommes (Even having an integral role in the ‘development’ of some) in the scene. He thrives in intense scenes and has been known to be a bit playful while at the mercy of Sadists who only want to see him suffer. When he is not in service, you may see him behind some bar at a fetish event, holding and serving you drinks with a big smile. Did you miss this class at TES Fest 2019? Here's your second chance!
