TES Presents: BDSM and the Onset of a Chronic Physical Illness
2019-02-19 19:30 - 22:00
What do you do when you’re a masochist, but don’t consent to the physical pain brought on by your own body? How can you feel comfortable in your submissive role when you feel like you can’t serve to the best of your ability? Or dominate when you’re in too much pain to move? Developing a chronic physical illness can be challenging for anybody, but it may be especially challenging in our context. This class will focus on what it is like to have a chronic physical illness while in the kink community. We will discuss how limits/negotiation might change, how to fulfill your kinky needs, and learning how to accept this new part of you and integrate it into new or existing dynamics.

TES Novice & Newcomers Group: Massage 101
2019-02-06 19:30 - 22:00 | The Alchemical, Studio D, 104 West 14th street, New York, NY, 10011, United States
If you’ve been to any public dungeon or play party, you’ve heard it a thousand times. “Please Mistress, may I touch your feet!” And yet everywhere there are tops and Dom(mes,) yearning for great massage service, prefering to go untouched then suffer another abysmal service massage. Furthermore, a communal lack of skill in the art of bodywork doesn’t just affect the service-oriented quotient of kinksters. How often have you heard “I’m not warmed up enough for that tie” or “I’m having a hard time coming down” or “I’m really droppy after that convention…” These situations might seem like par for the course–a hazard of doing what we do. Or, to the initiated, the perfect time to use a bit of cocoa butter, and get in there with both hands. No matter your role, gender or other fetishes, this class is designed for you to help you get better at using your hands to touch people.
Louis (DanceInMyPants) is a sex educator by trade, a consent nerd by calling, and the kinky boy next door. Louis is a polyamorus trans dude, a massage enthusiast, a sadomasochist and a proud switch. He’s been rubbing feet and taking names since 2011. Out of kink, he’s a born and bred Brooklynite, a witch, a lover of spreadsheets, a writer of smut, and plays a ton of Dungeons and Dragons.
Novice & Newcomers classes are open to all, but accessible to those who are new to the scene, the subject, or the area. Experienced members of the community are welcome and encouraged to attend.

TES Presents - Self-Aftercare: Care and feeding of a wild bottom
2019-02-05 19:30 - 22:00 | The Alchemical, Studio 1, 104 West 14th street, New York, 10011, United States
Whether doing pick-up play or playing as part of a long distance relationship, useful self-care in the days, and sometimes even weeks, after an intense scene or weekend can be a challenge. Without the help of a partner, it can be a bit overwhelming to be the one in charge of putting yourself back together again. After years of being both in a long distance relationship and refusing to give up the intense play she loves, Madeline has picked up more than a few tips and tricks on self-aftercare. This class will focus on preparation, wound care, nutrition, and psychology to help get your back on your feet and ready to take on the next big scene.

Madeline is a trained scientists who loves to use her analytical mind and love of learning both in the bedroom and the dungeon. For the past 15 years, she has been very active in the Chicago, Minneapolis/St. Paul and New York communities, helping to run BDSM organizations, assisting with large-scale events, and teaching classes on various edge play techniques. After winning the Leather title of International Little Miss Little in 2011, she retired from the stressful pageant circuit to pursue teaching. Madeline can be found on Fetlife at saltygoodness.

TES Hypnokink Group: The Ins and Outs of Hypnotic Fractionation
2019-01-30 19:30 - 22:00 | The Alchemical, Studio E, 104 west 14th street, New York, NY, 10011, United States
Fractionation is a well known hypnotic technique, both in the therapeutic and erotic hypnosis communities. People use it for improving the ability for the subject to enter into deep trance more quickly. It is also a way to create specific experiences related to control, the power to bring someone into a state and out of it generating feelings of power exchange. This class will delve into how fractionation works, and explore different techniques to facilitate many different aspects of the phenomenon. By breaking down the concepts of induction, awakening, awakeness, and the experience of trance states both as subjective and contextual, we can redefine both the methods and processes of hypnosis. Fractionation as a transition between two contrasting states provides us with a more general approach towards exploring mental states, hypnotic phenomenon, emotion, intimacy and sex. In addition we will discuss the ways we can visualize the narrative of a hypnotic scene and how the trance state can be charted through the various elements of play. Visual aids will be used to help explain some core concepts and novel approaches to creating unique and dynamic scenes based on Fractionation. This class is intended for all levels of experience.

TES Presents: Protecting Your Identity In the Scene
2019-01-29 19:30 - 22:00
Are you new to the kink scene and thinking about how to draw the line between your kink and vanilla life? Are you an experienced kinkster concerned about how your kink or sexual life could affect your work, future career or family? In the kink scene, protecting your privacy is a priority. However, in the age of social media and google, it’s easier said than done. This class will cover the topic of kink identity, what it means, how to protect it, and ways to mitigate the effects if your privacy is violated. We’ll be using the same techniques used in computer and network security as well as techniques used to protect political dissonants and activists and apply them to the kink/fetish/sex-positive/poly and leather communities. Whatever your experience is, this is a subject that you can benefit from!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE TECH SAVVY TO BENEFIT FROM THIS CLASS.

TES Hypno Group: Atmosphere, Mood, and Tone, with D'artagnon
2018-12-12 19:30 - 22:00
Consider the state of mind you need to be in to have a good hypnotic scene? Surely some such states come to mind. Think about the overall feel and energy that scene needs to have, the way that the environment transforms if only in the smallest ways. What do these considerations do to make a scene better? What do they potentially limit.
In this presentation and open conversation we’ll be exploring atmosphere, the overarching tone and feel of our inductions, suggestions and presentation. Attendees will leave with a good deal to think about and if we put our minds to it even more to practice.
This class is open to all skill levels.

Over the last year, many changes in the legal landscape that affect members of sexual minorities have occurred.

It would be helpful if you already knew how to tie a Karada but it will be reviewed at the beginning of class.
TES’ Bondage group is pleased to welcome back Jakel for another rendition of Rough Body Rope!
You might ask what is Rough Body Rope?
Well, Rough Body Rope is exactly what it sounds like: rough body play and rope play smashed together.
You might think carabiners are just for suspension, but in this class Jakal will teach you how to take a nice, beautiful, comfortable Karada, add a hand full of carabiners and your sadistic mind and suddenly transform this tie into something way more fun (and painful) than it was ever meant to be.
Please bring 3-30 Foot lengths of whatever type of rope you like to tie with and at least 4-6 carabineers (some loner carabineers will be available).
This class is intended for partners but we will try and pair single rope tops/bottoms up at the beginning of class.

– the advantages (and drawbacks) of using spices in kinky play,
– the qualities of different spices,
– the range of sensations they can invoke when applied to genitals or other sensitive bits–from gentle tingling to searing anguish,
– ways to amplify these sensations, and
– ideas for incorporating spices into play.
For a true appreciation of spices though, it’s important to experience them firsthand. You’ll have the opportunity in class to test out the spices on yourself–or on another poor soul–should you wish.
You won’t look at the spice aisle of your grocery store the same way again.
Doors open at 7, class starts at 7:30

TES Presents: Spanksgiving
2018-11-17 20:00 - 2018-11-18 02:00
It’s that time of year again. The time to gather with the people who matter most, and reflect on what we’re most thankful for. And no question about it, we’re most thankful for our volunteers! So come join us at The Parth on Saturday, November 17th, for Spanksgiving, a celebration of all those who make TES (and TES Fest) possible!!!
As our special thank you to all our volunteers at TES Fest and throughout the year, we will be sending out invitations to attend this party free of charge. So if you’ve volunteered for us this past year, watch your inbox! All others are invited to attend at our standard rates.
But that’s not all. Join us for our pre-party munch at the Bread and Butter Café from 7:30-9pm. The munch is a GREAT way to meet people in a low-key, non-kinky setting. You’ll find more info about it here!
8pm-2am at The Parth
$25 for TES members, $30 for munch attendees, $35 for other non-members
