Whether you’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’ or looking to pull your favorite little slut over your knee for a spanking – preparing for an impact scene from either side of the slash can be intimidating. Luckily, this workshop covers everything you need to know to get started! From bare hands to paddles and from floggers to canes we’ll be discussing the many tools at your disposal and the things to consider when building up your collection. Then we’ll move on to discussing safety tips, and the skills that go into successfully planning, negotiating, and executing your scenes. We’ll cover essential skills for tops, such as how and where to hit someone, rhythm and pacing, interpreting your bottom’s reactions, and the art of leaving marks (or not!). We’ll also dig into pain management tools, subspace, bruise aftercare, and other essential skills every masochist should know. Finally, we’ll wrap it all up with a live demo where you can see how everything we discussed comes together while I dole out some “intense sensation” to my eager co-presenter!

What do you do when it's not quite New Year's and you're midway through the holiday season? Why not get a head start on next year's Naughty List and join TES at our monthly munch? Whether you’re new to the scene, an old friend, or just passing through, we’re excited to see you! Come join us! Thursday, December 29th, at 7:30pm at the Skylight Diner 402 W 34th St. (@ 9th Ave) New York, NY 10001 Our hosts Zero and tickleobject will be there to welcome you and answer any questions. There is no cost to attend this event beyond paying for the food you order (and please tip your server well!). The TES Final Thursday Munch is our monthly gathering on the last Thursday of each month. It’s a great opportunity to meet and hangout with your fellow kinksters in a low-key, low pressure environment. It is open to all members of the community in good standing, and those who are new to the scene are especially encouraged to attend. There is no requirement to RSVP ahead of time, and you do not need to be a TES member to attend. Please note that we highly encourage all attendees to be vaccinated and up-to-date against Covid. However, this event is hosted at a diner that is open to other patrons, and we cannot control for anything beyond what the restaurant requires. Please assess your own risk profiles and act accordingly. We will be providing a discrete option for contact tracing, which is highly encouraged.
