Join us for the last official meeting of the semester! Avivokhai will discuss usual boot kink, pain, and kicking, as well as methods of femme style domination with boots, especially forms that are creative but non-painful. Demonstration will be “pretty and flexible”.

On a personal note: Avivokhai introduced me to Conversio Virium and her legs have captivated me since freshman year. I can’t think of a more suitable ending to my time as an administrator. Drop in and say goodbye before our graduation!

Safe, Sane and Consensual is the motto of many BDSM educators and organizations including CV. Sanity, however, is one category which is especially subjective. Blaise will lead a discussion about substances and how their use pushes the limits of SSC in a scene.

All members (valid CU-affiliates) are requested to come to this meeting to nominate, run and vote. As always, every CV executive board is up for re-election, which means we have four positions that need filling by current CU undergrads (who expect to be enrolled until at least 2009). These positions are as follows:

President: Generally runs meetings, sets up programming each week with the help of the VP, public relations representative, and handles official correspondence.

Vice-President: Handles membership cards and records, handles correspondence, plans weekly programs with Pres., gets the nifty title of “President of Vice,” fills in any gaps as needed.

Treasurer: Handles all finances, must be especially responsible, reliable and expect to attend meetings regularly, handles refreshments.

Secretary: Sends out [witty] weekly emails, posts events and meetings to the website, helps out in any other way needed by the board.

If you think you’ve got what it takes, or even if you don’t, WE WANT YOU to help run Conversio Virium next year. Remember, this is great experience if you are thinking of going into event planning, public relations, or anything that requires a cool head, and strong organizational skills.

If you missed last year’s hit presentation on Erotic Hypnotism, make sure to catch this week’s meeting. Everyone’s favorite hypnotist is back with a second installment.

If you happened to miss this year’s meeting as well, you can read the handout by following the link above.

Join us in 303 Hamilton for a very important presentation. Sir Guy is a dominant uniform fetishist, a NYS certified emergency medical technician, and a trainer of EMS personnel. His presentation on BDSM E.R. is a must see:

Your “hot” wax scene gets a little TOO hot, and someone gets burned… You are a little TOO sharp with your knife play and your bottom finally gets the point… Your gag works a little TOO well and your bottom has no voice, and NO BREATH… What do you do? Sir Guy will review these and other scenarios as he guides you through medical emergencies in the scene. He will also deal with first aid musts, improvised first aid, when to call for help, and what to tell first responders.

Do you like consensual violence and loud noises? Do you aspire to Zorro and Indiana Jones? Or would you prefer to disarm them and give them a taste of their own medicine? Would-be heroes and dastardly perverts, join us as Rob introduces the sexiest, noisiest toy in the box.

If you have a single tail handy, it’s BYO toys! Glow-in-the-dark nylon, kangaroo hide, whatever; CV encourages diversity.

Please note: due to spring break, there will be no meeting on March 17th.

Gender is more than man or woman, intersexed or trans. Gender is also an arena of power, rich with opportunities for play. Regardless of actual body, gender identity or sexuality, in gender play, we all can be sissies, fags, little girls, goddesses, and leather daddies. This workshop is designed to enrich your sex and play and help you find your gender hot spots.

Come one, come all to 303 Hamilton for a panel discussion, moderated by Blaise. TES-TiNG, TES’s group for young adults, aged 35 and under, will be dropping by for a visit. Together, we will tackle questions of purpose and identity. Why are young adults a special interest group? What can we offer? Where can we improve? Why did I choose head a BDSM Education Group when I should have been studying for my GREs? In what ways are Conversio Virium and TES-TiNG important to the wider BDSM community?

Sex and money are a potent combination. From prostitution to financial domination, stripping to pornography, and mistresses to sugar daddies, the sex trade is rich with power, paradox and archetype. We’ll discuss venues for experimentation, risks and rewards—including how to indulge your fantasies without throwing away your partner, Columbia education, or a clean bill of health. Join us, in 303 Hamilton, to talk about why money’s hot and how to play with it in roleplay and reality.

In addition we will also be creating Membership Cards at the beginning of the meeting for any and all eligible persons who do not already have one.

Kyle’s back in town and, as we’ve all come to expect, has brought along his boots. This week he will demonstrate basic boot-blacking techniques and what makes this leather boy practice so hot. Extra points if you wear a pair to the meeting.
