KinkForAll New York City 2

KinkForAll is an ad-hoc informational unconference on sexuality for anyone and everyone. KinkForAll draws participants from an astounding range of sexuality-related communities. Anyone with the desire to learn or with something to contribute is welcome and invited to participate.

Details
=======

KinkForAll is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people of the kink, queer, sex-positive and related communities to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, presentations, and interaction from all participants.  (It is inspired by the BarCamp community.)

ANYONE WITH SOMETHING TO CONTRIBUTE OR WITH THE DESIRE TO LEARN IS WELCOME AND INVITED TO JOIN.  When you attend, be prepared to share with others. When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.

A KinkForAll is a special kind of gathering because there are no spectators, only participants. Attendees must give a talk or a presentation, help with one, or otherwise volunteer/contribute in some way to support the event. This is called sharing and we like it. All presentations are scheduled the day they happen—there are no pre-scheduled presentations or keynote   addresses. The people present at the event will select the presentations they want to see.

Anyone can present, on any topic related to sexuality. You do not necessarily have to teach a new skill or idea. You might share an experience, review a product, or read a poem. The goal is to start a discussion, make connections, and exchange knowledge. Presentations promoting specific commercial products or companies are discouraged.

Instigate NYC: Stone Sexuality and Kink with Corey Alexander

This Sunday, I will be teaching a class on Stone Sex and Kink at Instigate NYC, a new Queer/Trans Led, Anti Racist, Anti Classist, Pro Pervert BDSM/Sex/Kink Infoshare.  I taught this class at The Floating World 2008, and it got some of the highest reviews by attendees.  I love teaching this class, partly because it is geared toward queer communities, and because it offers a unique take on an identity that is central for me. For more info on the class, check out the discussion on FetLife:

Stone Sex and Kink, July 19, 5PM at The Center (208 W 13^th Street):

Many queers (particularly transfolks and dykes) identify as stone, and mean many different things by it. Stone is often characterized as an absence, a loss, a wall. This interactive workshop/discussion focuses on the challenges and the pleasures of stone sexuality, while honoring the complexities that we may bring to stone identities, bodies, genders, emotions, and sexualities.

You may remember me from classes I’ve taught at CV, including: Strategies for Upping Your Mean Factor, Relationship Negotiation, Gender Play, and Your Secret Map to the World of Kink Ethics.

I love teaching at CV partly because of the openness, enthusiasm and engagement you all bring; I’d love to have your participation in this class, and hope to see you there on Sunday!

Young and Kinky? Contribute and get published in this new anthology.

I’m excited to say that Matt Johnson, also known as Bad Faggot, is editing a new book whose working title is Young and Kinky. The book promises to touch on some really interesting subjects, ones that are very near and dear to my heart, including “youth leadership in kink communities” and “does young equal submissive?” Conversio Virium has a proud history of being a leading organization for college-aged individuals and has never been more important for New York City’s youngsters than it is now, so I’m sure all of us have something to say about being young and kinky.

Matt is looking for short non-fiction writing to include in the anthology. Send a 3 paragraph summary and a short contributor bio to him by July 31^st to be considered. Details of his Young and Kinky call for submissions follows:

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Young and Kinky, edited by Matt Johnson aka Bad Faggot

We’re the present and future of a network of communities which are growing by leaps and bounds but which nonetheless feel marginalized and threatened. We’re either hailed as saviors of a sexual culture or framed as a problem that culture is forced to confront in order to survive. We’re often talked about in the abstract but only rarely are our individual voices setting the terms of the conversation. This book means to shift that balance.

Young and Kinky (working title) is an anthology of short nonfiction by people under age 40 who are participants in leather, BDSM, fetish, kink or related communities. This collection defines “community” as broadly as possible: from educational events to sex parties, from book clubs to social networking sites, from erotic businesses to charitable organizations.

Possible topics for inclusion:

• coming out narratives: finding communities, finding other young kinksters
• forming our own groups: TNG, boys/girls of leather
• integrating into existing groups: how to do it successfully
• bars, clubs, contests: are kink institutions still relevant?
• the generation gap: relating to our elders and our history
• youth leadership in kink communities
• where we live: physical and virtual gathering places
• what we do: is our kink different?
• naming: what do we call ourselves and why?
• why now? are there more of us than there used to be?
• is age just a number? when are we no longer “young”?
• talking across divisions of gender and sexual preference
• does young equal submissive?
• social bias (racism, sexism, ageism, biphobia, transphobia) in the scene
• out in the world: kinky at work, with family, friends, and children, in other communities

Contributions should range from 1000 to 5000 words in length. Please no fiction, porn/erotica, or poetry. This is a nonfiction volume reflecting our lived experiences as younger kinky people of all genders and orientations. Contributions from women, transfolk, and kinky folk of color are particularly encouraged.

Please submit a summary (no more than 3 paragraphs) plus a brief contributor bio no later than July 31, 2009. Initial submission of full articles should be no later than December 31, 2009. Electronic submissions strongly preferred.

Contact: “Matt Johnson” <badfaggot@hotmail.com>

It has also evolved to include being a celebration of our lives and our community.

To watch the March step-off you should be in the 50s or upper 40s on 5th Avenue. For larger crowds and high energy, anywhere in the village is ideal. For smaller crowds, many enjoy watching in the 30s, 20s, and teens on 5th Avenue.

Carol Queen & Friends: A Sex Positive Soiree and Reading

From the NYC Sex Blogger Calendar:

Who: Carol Queen visits from San Francisco, joined by Rachel Kramer Bussel, Elizabeth Wood, Audacia Ray, and Sinclair Sexsmith!

When: Monday, June 8, 6-9 PM (reading will start between 7:30-8, last about an hour).

Why: Carol Queen’s coming through town and wants to collaborate with her friends Rachel and Elizabeth to make a space for connecting, schmoozing, touching base, and furthering plans for sex-positive world domination! Her SF nonprofit The Center for Sex & Culture has hosted Rachel Kramer Bussel, worked with Elizabeth Wood on her online community Sex in the Public Square, and has plans to expand its educational and cultural offerings online as soon as we can (if we can’t afford NY real estate, at least we can visit you via your computers). Come mingle with your fellow NY sex people and meet some new ones, then enjoy a reading that will surely be more salaciously smart/sexy brain candy than most people ever get on a Monday (and in some cases, sadly, EVER).

Film Opening: Sex Positive – The Richard Berkowitz Story

On June 12^th, the S&M and sexuality documentary film Sex Positive—The Richard Berkowitz Story opens at the Quad Cinema on 13^th Street here in Manhattan. David Oliver Cohen, the film’s producer, wrote to CV to tell us a little about the film:

The film explores the origins of safe sex through the eyes of Richard Berkowitz, a former S&M sex worker turned AIDS activist and writer.

The film is an essential educational tool for younger generations who have no real concept of how safe sex came about during the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. Richard Berkowitz is credited as co-writing the first safe sex manual in the world, “How to Have Sex in an Epidemic,” with activist Michael Callen. Richard is still around and is actively spreading his message about safe sex.

There is a large portion of the film that deals directly with Richard’s work as a dominant-for-hire.

(Emphasis added.)

I first heard about this documentary when Clarisse Thorn published her interview with the star and brought up the very good point, what does it mean to be sex positive? Safer sex practices such as the use of condoms were not always so endearingly looked upon as symbols of sex positive activism. In fact, decades ago, the opposite was true and sex involving physical barriers was exceptionally stigmatized.

As David says, the film Sex Positive is an exceptional educational tool because it documents the history of how we got to where we are. I’d encourage you to see and support the film, watch the trailer, and maybe even bring your friends along and start a discussion about sex positivity.

Lesbian Sex Mafia: Spanking Techniques from Sensual to Discipline with Lady Sabrina

In a few weeks, the Lesbian Sex Mafia will be hosting Lady Sabrina as she teaches us about the intricacies of spanking.

Some people think of spanking as the least challenging of BDSM skills, requiring the least knowledge. It’s not flamboyant like singletails or edgy like knife play so it can’t be as exciting. However, in the proper hands, spanking can be a slow, sensuous climb to orgasm or a sharp, harsh discipline. It can be used to create a loving, hands-on scene, reduce the strongest person to tears or re-create a cherished fantasy.

Lady Sabrina will show how spanking can be a valuable tool in your arsenal as she discusses the different styles of spanking, value of role play, safety and use of toys.

Where: The LGBT Center, 208 West 13th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues

Cost: $5 for members; $10 for non-members

A BDSM educator, she’s presented on such topics as Designing Protocols, slave training, scene etiquette, flogging, hot wax, Basic Dom Skills, etc. and has acted as an informal Mentor to many in the scene.

Having a love of paddles, floggers and books, Lady Sabrina supports her habit by selling BDSM gear and fetish wear at events like Folsom Street and Leatherfest through her business, My Lady’s Toys.

Museum of Sex After-Hours: Overcoming the ‘Bitch’ Stereotype of Dominant Women

In both popular and underground culture, the representation of dominant women has long been monotonous in both subtly and explicitly negative ways. Arguably the most well known of these representations is the “bitch” stereotype, which defines an extremely narrow and off-putting attitude for dominant women to prescribe to so that they can be considered, well, dominant. However, in reality, there are just as many ways to be a dominant woman as there are dominant women—and there are a significant number more of you than looking around a typical fetish club would have you believe.

Next Tuesday, the Museum of Sex will be hosting Midori to speak about this issue.

In today’s world, being a strong female is often equated with being a bitch. On May 26, 2009 at 7:00 PM, let Midori teach you how to overcome the bitch stereotype and find a sexy and effective style of dominance that is authentically you.

Using a special technique she handcrafted, Midori will help you find your inner power femme archetype, allowing you to pursue erotic fulfillment in sensual power play. Not your typical how-to class, you will discover the difference between constructive and destructive desires guiding you towards ways of bringing more sexual satisfaction for both you and your partner.

About the presenter:

An acclaimed writer and lecturer on a wide range of sexual topics, Midori has a degree in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley, and vast indispensable experience as a pioneering San Francisco sex educator. Midori is known for her humanistic, humorous and warm classes that help people to spice up their sex lives and encourage self discovery and personal growth. A regular advice columnist for Men’s Health, she has appeared on HBO and BBC, and has been featured in Vogue, Playboy, Der Spiegel, Cosmopolitan and more. She is also the author of The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage and Wild Side Sex.

TES-TNG: The Dynamics of Co-Topping with Lolita and Boymeat

Next week, join Lolita and Boymeat as they present on The Dynamics of Co-Topping. If you’ve ever wondered what makes a kinky ménage à trois work, this is the meeting for you.

One of the most common pick-up scenes around is co-topping.  Two (or more) tops standing around, one (or more) victims prime for the hunt. Game on, right?  Sometimes it can lead to the most exciting and satisfying scenes…and other times they can be absolute disasters. Lolita and Boymeat have been co-topping together for years, and as switches have bottomed to many a dynamic duo.  They’ve learned what works and what doesn’t. They’ll share with you why and how to pull it off successfully.  Then they’re turn their attention to a lovely victim…er…volunteers, for a co-topping demo of deliciousness.

TES-TNG meetings costs $4 for card-carrying members of CV or other leather organizations and $8 otherwise. They are open only to those 18 to 35 years of age and their personal guests.

TES-TNG: Bondage 101 Bootcamp with Richard Cordage

Richard Cordage will be running a Bondage 101 Bootcamp at TES-TNG this Sunday, which promises to be a lot of fun:

Rope can be at once both a puzzle and a utility ranging from amusement or to the instrument of an empire.  Using one of the oldest tools, Cordage will show from basic techniques of binding Object A to Object B.  Bring some rope and leave protocol at the door; this will be a hands-on lesson.

TES-TNG meetings (including this one) costs $4 for card-carrying members of CV or other leather organizations and $8 otherwise. They are open only to those 18 to 35 years of age and their personal guests.
