Better Bottoming with Bex
2020-01-21 19:30 - 22:00 | The Loft, 245 W 29th St, 11th floor, New York, NY, 10013, United States
Bottoms bring more to the table than just a good butt! Bottoming requires skill – skill that’s rarely recognized, acknowledged, or taught. This workshop will help bottoms develop and hone the skills they’ll need most, and will help tops better understand the tools they need to train the perfect plaything. We’ll cover how to embody the kind of reactions that make a sadist’s mouth water, techniques for processing pain, and how to recognize and communicate your desires.
This class welcomes people of all genders, orientations, and experience levels from both sides of the slash.

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.

Hypno Group: Hypnosis and Consensual Non-Consent
2020-01-28 19:30 - 22:00 | The Loft, 245 W 29th St, 11th floor, New York, NY, 10013, United States
The junction between the reality of erotic hypnosis and the fantasy of mind-control is both challenging and rewarding terrain to explore. Consensual Non-Consent (CNC) allows partners to experience a wide range of scenes and play styles that are not possible through more explicit negotiation styles, yet the need for effective communication and collaboration is just as crucial as any other form of play. As both a style of relationship and method of negotiation, CNC is a valuable yet often misunderstood part of the kink world.
Hypnosis provides tools and theme that ideally can add both to the thrill and feasibility of CNC based scenes..triggers, enhanced role-play, amnesia, and the wide range of suggestions possible with hypnosis offers an infinite creative palette. At the same time, hypnosis is also misunderstood, especially where it comes to questions of agency and consent.
Through demonstration and honest discussion of some difficult topics, this class aims to provide realistic ways to explore the darker sides of hypnosis, and the use of hypnosis to enhance other BDSM applications of CNC, whether as part of a long term relationship, or as a component of negotiated play with trusted partners. This class is intended for any experience level but will deal with intense themes including consensual ‘rape play’ and emotional and physical sado-masochism.
@MrDream (David) has been organizing and presenting for the Hypnokink community since 2010. He is a co-founder of the Hypnosis New York group, the Deepmind Darkwood hypnosis retreat, and has attended all of the NEEHUs and taught classes on hypnosis, kink, intimacy, sex and romance nationally. He is the founder of the League of Ethical Evil Hypnotists; muahahahaha. He is a former board member for TES.

Handheld Fucking Machines from Drilldos to Fucksaws
2020-02-12 19:30 - 22:00 | The Loft, 245 W 29th St, 11th floor, New York, NY, 10013, United States
Fucking machines in general are one of the coolest and most exciting pieces of equipment one can use when exploring the sexual side of our world. It can also be one of the least accessible and riskiest activities, which is why it’s often harder to establish a foundation of skills or opportunity to participate under ideal conditions. The primary purpose of this class to make this activity less alien and offer that foundation of skills and knowledge that can develop into better practices for everyone whether new or experienced.
There are many thoughts and questions that one often thinks about when diving into this activity. How do I use these machines safely? How do I know if my partner or I are ready for this play? How can I negotiate to do this play? How do I integrate it into my play or scene? As a DM, event organizer, or venue operator; what should I know to vet people and equipment? What are some skills I should learn? Can I use electric tools/devices I already have? What types of dildo’s and attachments can I use? Where do I get this stuff? How much is this going to cost me? How do I make or assemble my own machines or attachments? Am I crazy for even thinking about playing with what is essentially just a power tool with a sex toy attached to it? All these questions and more will be answered.
I will offer my best practices to help you in your journey based on my 10+ years of experience researching, building, and using these devices.
There will be an opportunity to ask specific questions and try out general use of these devices. Please wear closed toed shoes/boots for a hands-on demo experience.

2020-02-26 19:30 - 22:00 | The Loft, 245 W 29th St, 11th floor, New York, NY, 10013, United States
Fantasies about hypnosis often focus on control. While the hypnotist does not have to be dominant, and the subject does not have to be submissive, hypnotic play often explores those tropes. In this class, we’ll see how D/s fantasies come to life through hypnosis, in both short-term play and long-term dynamics. Taught by a Dominant and submissive in a years-long hypnotic relationship, we will show ways to share the intensity of hypnotic power exchange while still being fully based on consent.
While this class does not teach introductory hypnosis techniques, beginners interested in exploring D/s are encouraged to attend.

POSTPONED - Kink And Neurodiversity: An Open Discussion with Vircotto
2020-03-24 19:30 - 22:00 | The Loft, 245 W 29th St, 11th floor, New York, NY, 10013, United States
Due to recommendations from the medical community, this event has been postponed. Keep an eye out for the rescheduled date. In the meantime, stay healthy!
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, including 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 The Eulenspiegel Society on 3/24 for our second discussion on this important topic.
The discussion will be facilitated by Vir Cotto, a kinkster and occasional presenter. Vir identifies as neuro-divergent, having learning disabilities and ADHD. Struggling with the challenges associated with being “twice exceptional” Vir has an understanding of these challenges of being “different” and can share his insight on both the difficulties that neuro-non-typical people feel, as well as the challenges associated with creating a welcoming, accommodating spaces. Vir Cotto is a kinkster living in New York City and Vancouver, Canada. He’s also a vanilla geek with a focus on individual empowerment and taking back control of your technology. Vir been involved with the BDSM community since 2015 and has volunteered and presented for TES in the past. In his spare time, he likes to write about BDSM and his journey. Both inside and outside of Kink, Vir likes to let his geek flag fly.

POSTPONED - Fire Play with Shermie
2020-03-31 19:30 - 22:00 | The Loft, 245 W 29th St, 11th floor, New York, NY, 10013, United States

Shermie will teach the basics of “safe” fire play, as oxymoronic as it sounds, including fire fleshing and fire cupping. Within the “What It Is That We Do” community, fire play is considered one of the most dangerous, if not the most dangerous, form of play. It can also be an intensely sensual form of edge play. It’s classified as edge play simply because out-of-control flame could result in terrible consequences. This class will go over safety techniques and basic kinds of fire play.
Shermie has been in the scene for well over a decade. Subjects he has taught include fire play, dry and wet (blood) cupping, suturing, pallet wrap suspension and mummification, BDSM and Dungeon 101, as well as needle play. He has also taught about sex, health and kink at Columbia Presbyterian Medical School and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

ONLINE - TES presents: BDSM Q&A: Ask the Weirdos Edition
2020-04-21 19:00 - 22:00 | NY
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.
Alex and Madeline are both trained scientists who love to use their analytical minds and love of learning both in the bedroom and the dungeon. 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. Alex can be found on Fetlife at ninjajuicer and Madeline can be found at saltygoodness.
