Join us Monday  November 15th in Hamilton 302 for this awesome presentation by Sinclair Sexsmith!

Many of us have experience with strapping on, packing, and playing, but there are lots of new products out there on the market that might be exciting and that you haven’t encountered yet. Writer and sex educator Sinclair Sexsmith talk about what cocks are good for packing, what options are out there for pack-and-play, which harnesses are the most loved, and which to avoid. Plus, she’ll delve into some cock confidence, getting into the psychology of penetration, and discussing what it’s like to shoot from the hip. If you’re a butch, a stud, an AGs or anywhere on the masculine side of center, come get the nuts and bolts of strapping it on and fucking. You’ll learn about positions and lube, how different products work, what “cock confidence” means, and the psychology behind strapping on and playing with a cock with a partner, or with oneself.

On 9/27, please join us while we attempt to pervert Science itself.  We will abuse the forces of physics by running 50000 volts through some eager volunteers.  We will exploit chemistry by revealing the terror inducing secrets of polyvinylidene chloride.  We will misuse psychology by reading aloud a small work of interactive fiction.

There will be demos, discussions, and lots of hot safety information.
Bring your lab coats and lab partners – because science is sexy.

Location: Hamilton 302!

Okay so being new at this I forgot to reserve a room…the thing is, there might be space anyway. Unfortunately the rope demo won’t be happening but if you’re interested in good food and good company in a space we will stumble upon when the time comes, feel free to meet us in the usual spot.
SO sorry about this, next week will be business as usual!

Location:  Somewhere in Hamilton!! :(

Conversio Virium returns January 25th with Mistress Coraline

I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Hurt Me: Playing with a Vanilla Partner

Your lover is sweet, your lover is hot, your lover is… vanilla?!? Not everyone is kinky but a lot of vanilla people are kinkier than they know. We’ll talk about broaching the subject, negotiation for beginners, where to learn the basics, what NOT to do and how to deal if your interests simply cannot match. Kink is a wonderful way to deepen intimacy, explore yourself and your partner, and have a hell of a lot of fun. Isn’t it time your lover found that out?

This class is presented by Coraline, former pro-domme and long time pervert. She entered the scene in 2002 and has learned from and played with some of NYC’s greatest players. She has has taught classes for TES, DSF, WHAP and Galleria Domain 2.

Location: 316 Hamilton Hall, Columbia main campus

Sassafras Lowry has elected to avoid inflicting finals-ridden Columbia students with her ongoing case of H1N1 by staying home tomorrow night, rather than regale us with her presentation on Leather Storytelling. She will be making her debut next semester.

Instead, CV will be throwing a small party; food and drink will be provided, CV’s next semester will be discussed, and fun will be had. We promise.
