One full day of BDSM 101 Workshops!

For Novices, Newcomers and Those who simply want to add to their skills in a fun environment!

As a bonus, attendees will receive $10 discounted admission to the Pangea Party @ The Imperial Loft (114 East 31st Street) that evening, to practice their new skillz!

We’ll have classes, demos and ample opportunities for hands-on practice. Our instructors are drawn from the current roster of TES and TES Fest presenters. The curriculum includes:

Part One: Things We Wish People Had Told Us When We Were Starting Out!

• The Basics of BDSM—What you absolutely need to know in order to get started! This is the class that you won’t want to miss if you’re new to (or curious about) kink or public play!

• Meeting Potential Partners for Play or More – Special emphasis for those who are socially awkward, shy or newly (or perpetually) single.

• Negotiating and Scene Etiquette – How to: Ask for what you want, Generally expect in a scene, Handle things don’t go as planned, and Minimize the Awkward! that can sometimes happen

Part Two: Iconic Skillz and Sensations!

• Bondage – Rope and more! Tie or be tied with more confidence. Get the foundation for using rope or other means in a less risky, more fun way. We’ll also cover the different types of rope and methods of bondage, and you’ll have the chance to try out tying or being tied with a wide range of materials.

• Impact Play – Canes, Paddles, Floggers and Whips! Getting more effective use based on your particular needs, and what to look for when choosing implements. Compare the various implements in terms of personal preference as a top or bottom.

Part Three: The Bonus Round–The Discovery Center!

• Violet Wand – Intro to Electricity play.

• Pervertibles – Check out the fun that can be had with ordinary household or office items! You may never be able to see a trip to the 99c store the same way again!

• And more….! Look for updates as we add more presenters and delicious new kinks to the roster!

Part Four: The Wrap Up

We know, we know. It’s a lot to take in. You’ll have questions. We may or may not have answers. But it’ll be a good time to piece together what you’ve seen and talk with experienced folks about translating it to “real life”. Or to just make sure you’ve got the contact info for all the new friends you’ve made, before heading to the Pangea Party.
