BDSM Valley Stream

Founded back in 1971, TES NYC, which was formerly known as The Eulenspiegel Society, is the first BDSM organisation founded in the United States. This volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation has an illustrious history promoting the interests of all those leading leading a BDSM lifestyle. TES NYC was founded by Pat Bond and Fran Nowve initially as an informal support group for masochists. It began by meeting in members' homes, and in August 1917 opened its membership up to sadists. The group played a crucial role in sexual revolution during the 1970s and held its first BDSM convention in 1996. This was the first kink convention of its kind, setting a bold template for other fetish organisations, particularly those in the leather community. The TES NYC website is an invaluable resource for all kinksters, and includes an online version of its Prometheus magazine, which has now been running for decades. Additionally, the website includes a TES digital archives section, where visitors can access general information, kink guides, and the TES library. TES NYC members get discount at all participating stores and clubs on the BDSM scene - and these businesses are listed on the website. New TES NYC membership costs between $45 to $700, and there are various options to choose from. Members can attend a wide range of classes, events, meetings, and other educational gatherings. There are two classes held each week in New York City. General meetings held in a safe, welcoming environment. Free BDSM information is available at these meetups, and, of course, they provide a vital space in which members can meet and mingle. TES NYC holds regular munches and play parties There's a code of conduct for these events, and this is also available on the website. The highlight of each year is the annual TES Fest, held in a hotel where members can get involved in all manner of classed, demos, and hands-on-workshops aimed at strengthening the BDSM community and empowering individuals to live fulfilling kink lives. The organisation is always looking for new volunteers to contribute fresh ideas and expertise. What better way to connect with your community?

Forget your preconceived ideas of a museum as being stuffy, dusty, and boring. Welcome to The Museum of Sex, widely known as MoSex Museum NYC. This lavish, provocative celebration of sex is one of its kind, prompting much-needed discussion of the evolution of human sexuality and the many joyous ways in which it illuminates our otherwise humdrum lives and connects us to others. Opening back in October 2002, the idea for MoSex Museum NYC was conceived by founder Daniel Gluck who identified a need not only to document the history of sexuality but to initiate ongoing sex-positive dialogue. Like all things worth doing, MoSex Museum NYC was controversial from the outset; indeed, its application to become a not-for-profit was rejected by the powers that be, who stated that Gluck's plans made a "mockey" of museums. However, Gluck was undeterred in his mission; and even more controversially, he set about acquiring funding from the porn industry for his brainchild. MoSex Museum NYC was born, quickly ushering a brash, vibrant, sexy new visitor experience, and even more rapidly earning a denouncement by The Catholic League of Religious and Civil Rights. But there's no such thing as bad publicity - and kinksters were soon battering down the doors. But the good news is that since 2002, MoSex Museum NYC has received little or no opposition from religious groups. This, of course, is hugely positive. Either they've realised that it's pointless trying to fight the natural expression of human sexuality and that the odds are heaped against them, or, better still, this points to a shift in public attitudes to sex and erotica. MoSex Museum NYC has continued to push the boundaries. Though educational, the museum has steadfastly demonstrated that unafraid afraid to be explicit. Its first exhibit explored how New York City was transformed by sex. Other intoxicating displays followed on the objectification of the American male body, pin-up photography, US Patent Office Sex Inventions, and Superfunland, a massive four-floor show looking at the decadent and underground history of carnival. Admission to MoSex Museum NYC is set at $17.50. Unsurprisingly, visitors must be aged 18 or older.
