TES Novice & Newcomers Group: Massage 101

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.

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