Conversio Virium

CV Meeting: Wrapping it Up – Drop, Aftercare, and Closing Rituals

Conversio Virium welcomes back Corey Alexander. A NYC based transgender stone butch kink educator and writer, he has been a professional teacher/trainer for over ten years. He has taught at places like TES, LSM, Instigate NYC, The Citadel and Conversio Virium, and at kink and queer events like The Floating World, TESFest, NOLOSE, Forge Forward, New Jersey Leather Weekend, Butch Voices, and TNG3. You can email him at PraxisProductions@gmail.com.

You have gone to scary and wonderful places. You have flown high, dropped deep, exploded into tiny bits, or feel like you own the universe. Ever have a hard time getting back to the rest of the world? Ever struggle in recovering from scenes or weekend events? Ever feel like the ending was too abrupt, lingered, or never really ended? Ever struggle to find a natural end when it feels like it could go on forever? How do you close the scene, the dynamic, or the BDSM relationship so that it feels like it has a real tangible end? This class will offer tools to strategize closure in our kink lives, discussing ways to close scenes, make aftercare work for you, deal with drop after a scene or event, and find closing rituals that assist you in letting go of BDSM relationships that have ended.

CV Meeting: Pleasure Positive

CV welcomes Morpheus for its second meeting of the year. Founder of the Pleasure Positive movement and The Pleasure Principle, Morpheus has taught BDSM/Tantric/Sexuality/STI classes for 12 years and has taught classes for: Mr. S, SMOdyssey, SOJ, DomSubFriends, TES, Lifestyles Convention, PolyamorousNYC among many others along with appearing on national television.

The Pleasure Positive Principle: Pleasure is an inherent right as long at that Pleasure does not infringe upon the rights of others or endanger them. Groups that have sexuality as part of their agenda are being marginalized. Through an interactive workshop, we shall focus on what these disparate groups along with others have in common and seek ways to build bridges between them to create positive social change by developing synergies. Pleasure Positive will be explored as: (1) a new perspective to unify disparate groups, (2) a philosophy to live in a more fulfilling manner and (3) a movement to create positive social change. The presentation will also cover the intentional living community, Pleasure Positive Village, that I am forming. Members of CV will learn how they may be able to host events in this ILC.

CV Meeting: Conversio Virium 101

Conversio Virium is starting the year in a blaze of narcissistic glory! Our first meeting will be all about us.

A short presentation on the hows, whys, and wherefores of CV will give new members an idea of what to expect for the rest of the year, with our more intensive presentations and demonstrations, in a more relaxed environment. We’ll cover: the range of topics we plan to cover (including a tentative schedule for all our meetings of the semester), how presenters will explain and demonstrate their topics, what is expected of people attending a presentation, our rules for audience consent during more challenging demonstrations, and some more general issues behind how CV is run. A mini demo is planned for the end of the meeting to give some real live-audience experience!

This meeting will last no longer than one hour; everyone is encouraged to stay until the end of our time to socialize, meet new and old members, and talk to the administration about our goals for the year.

Summer CV Movie Night

Join us for an unusual Summer CV this Monday as we head to Bryant Park’s free movie night for a picnic and an outdoor screening of Harold and Maude, a 1971 cult classic that explores themes of youth culture, sexuality, and love still relevant today. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you must! If you have, then come enjoy it all over again!

We’ll meet around 5 PM to stake out a spot on the lawn and have a picnic, so bring whatever food you’d like to eat yourself or share with the group. The movie itself will start at sundown (around 8 or 9 PM).

If you’re coming for the first time simply ask people, “Are you the group from CV?” and you’ll have no trouble finding us. We hope to see you, and your friends, all there!
