TES meeting: Being Green in the Scene (Handling Jealousy)

This Wednesday, the TES Relationships SIG tackles the ever-challenging issue of handling jealousy in non-monogamous relationships:

“Poly”…”Play Partner”…”Leather Daddy”…”Collared”…”Uncollared”…”Play Date”…. All these terms swirl about the Scene and may sound fabulous and very cool…until you are actually faced with your partner playing with someone else…or wanting to add a third…or a fourth…or…are you desiring to play with another and your partner isn’t quite thrilled about the prospect. How do you deal with jealousy? How does it affect relationships? How did it affect yours? Please join the Relationships Group as we once again delve into this uncharted territory. Audience participation is encouraged. Let’s talk and gain knowledge from each other.

CV Special Event: Erotic Breathwork with Barbara Carrellas

**Reservations for this event will end at 8:00 PM Sunday November 18^th. No information will be forwarded to those who RSVP after the cut-off so that we can ensure that we will have enough space for this popular event.**

Some of the CV crew met Barbara at Floating World this summer. I was fascinated by her unique classes and by a spiritual side of sexuality I had not considered before. She has kindly agreed to grace us with her presence and expertise in erotic breathing.

Here is Barbara‘s description of the workshop:

Breath is your greatest source of energy and aliveness. It can produce so much pleasure, it will amaze you. Once you become familiar with moving erotic energy around with your breath, you’ll find all your erotic encounters to be much more fulfilling. Your orgasms will be longer and deeper. You will share a more authentically intimate connection with a partner. You’ll even find yourself using breath techniques in non-erotic situations to bring erotic energy to more and more areas of your life.
In this workshop we will learn and practice a variety of simple breath techniques that you can put together to to create unlimited erotic possibilities. Then we’ll put them together to explore the the vast range of orgasms which lie beyond those achieved by genital stimulation. Finally, we’ll practice energy orgasm techniques that you’ll be able to incorporate into whatever kind of sex and play you enjoy.

This event is being held thanks to the cooperative support of Q at Barnard College.

GMSMA meeting: Single Tails

Nothing can heat up the cold months quite like the fiery sting from a singetail whip can. The term “singletail” is actually just BDSM slang for single-tailed whip, by the way. It seems only kinky folk need to disambiguate their whips by the number of tails they have.

Anyway, GMSMA‘s November meeting is about single tails and, because it’s a part of LeatherFest week, this meeting is open to both men and women!

Do you enjoy the hypnotic crack of the whip? Do you want to see how to swing that single tail? Are you eager to meet single tail tops? Or do you hope to meet a willing bottom? Learn how to take care of your tails and what to expect during a good whipping.

Mmm, whippings. Good ones make me go all weak in the knees.
