TES - Edge Play Exploratorium

Another amazing and affordable educational resource available to us here in NYC is The Eulenspiegel Society or TES. Last night I attended a presentation called "Edge Play Exploratorium". I love this format where several instructors come in and a variety of topics are explored.

Dov presented on Knives and Pointy Things. He brought a variety of delightfully sharp and scary things including a straight razor (shiver) and proceeded to demo them on several lucky volunteers. Just watching made me, well, how should I put it... quite - fucking - horny. Sigh. Dov's demonstration on a couple of his demo's emphasized how incredibly sensual this form of play can be with an experienced player. He also brought up quite a few points (no pun intended) on safety; some common sense, but others about the way knives work that were not quite so obvious. As, usual Dov's presentation was informative, entertaining, and very hot.

Lady Raven presented on caning. Lady Raven's presentation style is a lot of fun. She has amazing comedic timing and kept us laughing. Lady Raven brought with her a plethora of canes and finished up with a great demo with her gracious demo bottom, John. It was fun to see the broad variety of canes from your basic rattan canes to acrylics and the dreaded rawhide.

TES charges a big $4 for members and $8 for non members. Membership rates can be found on their website. On Tuesdays they have a General interest meeting and on Wednesday they have the SIG meeting of the week. They have a large selection of Special interest groups or SIGs:

Bondage Group
Relationships Group
Dominant Men/submissive woman's Group

Men's Group
Novice Group
Queer SIG
Singles Group
Spanking Group
Switchables Group

I would highly recommend TES meetings for folks new to the scene. The meetings are very informative and it is a fun way to meet like minded folks in a low stress environment. That way when you attend your next party, you may very well find you run into friendly faces you have already met. Come join us.
