Kink And Neurodiversity: An open discussion
2019-03-26 19:30 - 22:00 | The Alchemical, Studio 1, 104 West 14th street, New York, 10011, United States
Our community celebrates diversity in its many forms, including sexuality, gender, kink, religion, and race. We are at the forefront of standing up for disabilities as well and provide accommodation for people with physical challenges of various forms, as well as reduced scent environments. We provide helpful information for those of us who suffer from depression and other forms of mental illness, providing a safe place to talk about our challenges. But one area of challenge in our community is around the topic of neurodiversity.
Neurodiversity is the idea that neurological differences are recognized, understood and accepted. These include many forms of invisible disabilities, including Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyscalculia, Autistic Spectrum, Tourette Syndrome, as well as others.
Individuals with neurological differences in the kink community speak of feeling marginalized and excluded, while kink organizers struggle with issues of wanting to provide an atmosphere that feels safe and welcoming to all.
Come join us for an open discussion on March 26th run by The Eulenspiegel Society on this important topic.
The discussion will be facilitated by Vir Cotto, a kinkster and occasional presenter. Vir identifies as neuro-divergent, heaving learning disabilities, ADHD. Struggling with the challenges associated with being “twice exceptional” Vir has an understanding of these challenges of being “different” and can provide insight on both the difficulties that neuro-non-typical people feel, as well as the challenges associated with creating a welcoming, accommodating spaces.
All are welcome to the discussion on March 26th. Neurodivergent kinksters, as well as community organizers, are especially welcome.
Doors open at 7, class begins at 7:30. If you will require the elevator, please call ahead: (212) 675-1390.

TES DW/sm Group: Ballbusting with ComtesseAurora & KilimanjaroDan
2019-04-10 19:30 - 22:00
One of the most iconic DW/sm activities is ballbusting. From the classic image of a latex-clad domina pressing her stiletto heel into her submissive’s groin to the sharp sting of a finger-flick against the scrotum by a giggling princess – or prince! – there are myriad directions from which to approach this flavor of genitorture. This class will explore some of the many motivations behind this kink, several techniques, and a discussion of safety and health considerations.

Intro to Needleplay
2019-04-16 19:30 - 22:00
Ever been curious about needles? Have you watched in rapt horror or total fascination and wondered, “Why do people do this as a kink? What does the Top get from it and what is the experience the bottom wants and has as well?” Join us as we talk about the basics of diving into the bloody beginner end of the kink medical play pool. This class will cover kink needle basics: types of needles, safety and health issues, how to safely set up a scene space at play parties, where to stab, materials used, how to take care of your bottom, resources and more. There will be handouts on where to buy supplies and
other really neat information.
We will also cover safety and motivations for Tops: issues that may arise, how to handle them, and a discussion of how to negotiate and best consent practices for planning a needle scene.
Bottoming to needles will be covered as well. There is more than just lying down and taking it! SirusCyn and Simone B. are both knowledgeable needle bottoms and will share their input and advocacy for being a bottom as well.
There will be fun demos and some inspirational images of the different styles of needle play, from decorative to the downright bloody extreme, to give the audience a sense of the variety of things done with needle play.
Disclaimer: There will be blood during class. Please be aware if you are sensitive to this kind of subject matter, this might not be the class for you. We welcome you to ask for a handout or info outside of class if you are interested.
Simone B. (she/her) has a been a lifestyle switch in the NYC kink scene for 5+ years. She is also a professional Dominant and enjoys the crazier bloodier side of the kink scene. She currently co-runs a Women’s Domination party The Goddess Loft and hosts the ongoing medical play party Welcome to the Infirmary.

Sirus (she/her), a queer, fat-positive bottom, has been in the NYC kink scene for a little over two years. She has always liked having her blood drawn at the doctor’s, so it’s no surprise that she loves needle play. When not being made to bleed, she can be found receiving sadistic leg/foot rope, getting punched, or snuggling her dogs.

Doors open at 7, class begins at 7:30. If you will require the elevator, please call ahead: (212) 675-1390.

Tongue Sharper Than Your Teeth - Erotic Humiliation with Lady Barbie Dahl
2019-05-01 19:30 - 22:00 | The Alchemical, Studio D, 104 West 14th street, New York, NY, 10011, United States
“Don’t be mean!” “You shouldn’t say that.” How many times have you heard this in your life? Or, how about this doozy: “if you don’t have something nice to say then you shouldn’t say anything at all.” While that might be good advice for vanilla society, forget all that crap and embrace your inner Mean Girl while you explore erotic humiliation, a very subjective form of play that is not the same for everyone and is taboo for most people.
Consensual erotic humiliation oftentimes involves embarrassment, degradation, dehumanization, objectification…a delightful mix of emotions that we normally don’t get to revel in within our daily interactions. It can be quite enjoyable but is, at the same time, an intense and very intimate form of edgeplay that can sting like a whip, burn like fire and cut like a knife. It can be extremely fulfilling and cathartic but is also fraught with emotional dangers for both Top and Bottom. Why would anyone want to play this way? How can you do this safely? What’s the turn-on?
Please join Barbie Dahl as she expounds upon a subject that she revels in, get a different perspective and answers to these and other questions, exploring erotic humiliation in its many different forms.
Lady Barbie Dahl AKA Antonia [the Yin of the Twins (see thrash)] is a fetish model, BDSM educator and whip artist, a boy-to-Girl Transformer, a sharp-tongued Humiliatrix and a well known attention whore. She has appeared in many FemDom videos alongside such superior Women as Mistress Trish, Miss Mona Rogers, Amy Brooke, Domina M, VeVe Lane, Goddess Severa and Domina Nix, as well as studios like The NYC Rubberstudio, Doom Maidens, K is for Kink and Rapture. She has also been photographed by such Artists as Barbara Nitke, Mariette Pathy Allen, Efrain Gonzalez, Natasha Gornik and SpecificKink. Antonia works almost exclusively as a submissive and “Damsel in Distress” but lately she has been considering her Dominant side, learning the fine arts of ‘instigating,’ ‘shit stirring’ and ‘piling on’ in her role as a sadistic sidekick to her Dominant Goddesses. She has recently realized and accepted her inner superiority and now identifies as a Sadistic Switch, incorporating this new perspective in the classes she presents on multiple subjects from Crossdressing and the skills involved in being a Woman to Animal Roleplay, from Singletails and Pain Processing to Humiliation et al.

Dungeon Monitors are responsible for monitoring play to ensure that all event rules are followed and manage the event space to facilitate safe, fun scenes. They are not required to be experts in all types of play, nor do they need to be any specific size or gender. All are welcome, whether you plan to volunteer with TES or not.
Do you know a thing or two about dungeon safety? Have you had a less than perfect experience with a DM at a party and thought, “I can do better”? Maybe you just have a fetish for neon-yellow traffic vests? If you answered yes to any of these questions, please join us for our live training workshops!
These workshops are intended to supplement our newly updated online training found (coming soon) and are free to anyone who has successfully completed the unit “DM 101”. All others are welcome to join us at our standard class rates. Please note that, due to time constraints, we will not be able to more than a quick review of the materials covered online.
In combination with our online training, these workshops are designed as a comprehensive introduction to DMing, and will cover everything you need to know to get started DMing at TES events and TES Fest. Experienced DMs are invited to attend as a refresher and to share their wisdom with others.
Our DM Training Workshop will consist of two parts:
Play Safety Knowledge Share Circle – Tuesday, June 4th
In this knowledge share session, we will discuss safety considerations for various types of play you are likely to encounter as a DM. Attendees are invited to bring their personal experience and expertise as we analyze what to look for in different types of scenes, what to prioritize, and how best to ensure scenes are in harmony with event rules.
Scenario Roleplay and Discussion Lab – Wednesday, June 5th
In this section, we will roleplay various situations you may encounter as a DM, many derived for real-life incidents. Attendees will take turns acting out different scenarios, each followed by a brief discussion and constructive critique to determine the best course of action for similar situations in the future.
Please attend both if you are able, but everyone is welcome regardless.
Doors open at 7, class begins at 7:30. If you will require the elevator, please call ahead: (212) 675-1390.

This includes various types of kneeling, sitting, laying, standing, and walking. For those that wish to actively participate, it’s suggested you wear appropriate clothes or those that allow for full range of movement.
