Get Your Kink on Auction 2014

Submitted by DarlingNikki

Get Your Kink On! Auction was an amazing success! This truly was a
community event with people offering their skills, talent and time to
raise money for our three benefiting charities: American Cancer
Society, The Network/ La Red and The Center of Sexual Pleasure and
Health. There were many brave people who volunteered to go up for
auction and several businesses and organizations that donated
services, tickets to future events and amazing prizes to be auctioned
off during the silent auction. At the end of the night and after NEDS
did their match up to $200 per charity, a total of $3000 was raised;
$1000 for each charity! We couldn't have done it without the help from
these amazing businesses. Be sure to show them some love and check out
their sites and products/events.

NEDS Road trip and Play Party: Providence, RI



Hello Kinksters,



  I hope you have seen our event listing on FL:Event Listing

We will be traveling to Providence, RI on Friday July 26, 2013 to see a class on strap ons and then we will have run of club for a play party.  Who is excited?!  Me!!  I hope to see you all there.  You MUST RSVP ahead of time, you can do so here:  RSVP


and now, a little about the class:




Strapping it On!
This class is perfect if you've never used a strap-on before or explored anal play and will give the kinkster who's familiar with anal play & strap-ons the opportunity to get some more insight into techniques & toys to enhance the dildo fun! We'll cover safety basics for both holes, good toys for anal & vaginal strap-on fun & harness styles, and exercises for learning how to use them skillfully. (Think Jane Fonda meets Babes in Toyland!)
You are welcome to bring the dildos and harnesses you already own, or just rope if you don't have a harness yet.

Madelyn (Miss Wyld) first pegged a boy in 2003 and still loves to poke with her Feeldoe. She has been an active part of the public kink scene through Vermont, New Hampshire, & Boston since she found the wonderful people, communities, and events. In 2011 she co-founded Vermont Alternative Sexuality Education (www.vtkink.org), which brings quality kink & sex education to Vermont. Professionally, Madelyn is a skilled bodyworker, geeking out in the magical universe of human anatomy and physiology. She explores alternative sexuality as a bi/pan-poly-switch and joyously shares her knowledge & experience, enjoying the science of pleasure and pain.

This one time, at kink camp....



Hello NEDS members,


 NotSo and I returned from Dark Odyssey Fusion yesterday; what an experience!   It was our first time at Fusion and it took as a long while to decide to go to the event in the first place.  We decided on Fusion because of the laid back, sex positive, kinky culture that it boasted.  We were not disappointed!

After our 7 hour drive (during which I slept 6.59999 hours of) we arrived in Northern Maryland with nervous energy.  At registration we knew we had made a great decision arriving at camp on Wednesday to get some downtime prior to the whole event beginning.  At Fusion you have the option bring your own tent or rent a cabin bed.  You also have an option to purchase a meal plan or prepare your own food.  NoSo and I got cabin beds and the meal plan; we wanted to make sure we got to relax and did not want to worry about food prep or cleaning.

Okay now onto the good stuff.  We took a stroll up to the Dungeon, and oh man...it was fabulous.  As someone who has not been to many large scale kink events, I was super impressed.  They had every sort of lube and protection (including chucks) that I could have wanted.  They had tons of equipment and space.  The lighting and music was spot on, it really put me in the mood to play from the minute I walked in.  Which I would image is the point.  There was also an outdoor dungeon that was equipped with all sorts of hardpoints.  In addition to that outdoor dungeon, there was an open air dungeon in the pavilion which was fabulous.  Again tons of equipment and space to play.  NoSo and I played in the open air space and indoor dungeon, and we had a great time in both places.  There was another outdoor space called Sex-O-Rama, I am sure you can guess what that was for ::wink::

What was even better than the space was the people who were in attendance.  The community was awesome and friendly.  It was great to meet so many people from across the country and globe who came out for this event.  Speaking of people from everywhere, Fusion had tons of well known presenters giving classes every day from sunrise to sunset.  I planned on going to more classes than I did, but I was having so much fun skinny dipping and meeting new people that I was a bit of a slacker in that area.  I did see an awesome class on Mind Fucks put on by Eric Pride and a great and informational class on Watersports put on by Boymeat.  I would highly recommend either of these presenters.

One of the highlights of camp for me was the kidnapping scene that I had.  At camp you can "sign up" to be randomly kidnapped during camp.  Not everyone gets kidnapped, it depends on the year, so by Sunday I assumed it wasn't my year.  I am into interrogations, and fear, not really into pain so I wasn't sure what they would come up with.  So on Sunday as I was "innocently" walking down the road to another campsite I was jumped, hooded and carried to a nearby field.  Once in said field I was waterboarded until I told them all my sexiest fantasies.  I think i unnerved them slightly by giggling most of the time, but gosh I was having fun!

NotSo and I can't wait for next year, and we hope that even more NEDS members will be there then!
