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!

Originally scheduled for TES Fest, this class was cancelled due to presenter illness. Now, we are pleased to make this class available during our regular yearly programming! This Wax Play class is centered around safety, materials, types of wax play scenes, and negotiations. I include an extensive section on how to find and use everyday style candles or make them yourself in a safe and inexpensive way. I focus on how to safely test and use a variety of candles to avoid burns, including preheated wax. I also emphasize fun, spirituality, and ritual style scenes along with including other forms of kink, like rope, impact etc to form and create wax play scenes. Miss Simone B. is a sadomasochistic switch who has been active in the public kink scene for the last five years or so.

Age play can be a fun, healthy, cathartic and even therapeutic activity, bringing joy and playfulness into the ageplayers' lives and relationships. Whatever the reason one is drawn to ageplay, there’s a common desire to seek out and capture the perfect childhood, now. In this workshop, we will take a deeper look at some of the “building blocks” and psychology behind this topic. We’ll also address and debunk some of the most common, and maybe some uncommon myths surrounding age play with a fun and entertaining game! From pageant winner to kinky sinner, this former Girl Scout and girl-next-door from New Jersey has been stirring up the scene for the better part of a decade. Since 2012, Morrigan has been a staff member for Conduit Enterprises (New Jersey’s premiere monthly sex-positive kink/fetish/BDSM party). She’s the founder of Conduit’s “Little Sparks” and a co-leader for Conduit’s festival and camp collective presence. Known for her penchant for prosecco, and her over-the-top, extra AF party planning and production, this classy bitch is the mastermind behind events such as THUNDERFOAM! and Midnight Margaritas. As an age player, Morrigan is an advocate for learning to let go and embracing vulnerability without shame through consensual play associated with reconnection with lost innocence. With her infectious laugh, her vibrant squeals from excitement, and her twisted ideas of fun, she might just make you suffer from cute aggression, or she might get you to walk her Lego™ walk of fire. When in doubt, little out! Doors open at 7, class begins at 7:30. If you will require the elevator, please call ahead: (212) 675-1390.
