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!

Pervertables Class Review

Hello NEDS Members,

  I am sitting here sipping on a blueberry iced coffee and thinking about all the fun/evil/amazing fun we had last night at the class.  Special thanks to Silverdreams for planning yet another wonderful presenter for us.  For those of you that were not able to get here, I will provide my personal review of the class.

KinksterGeek, taught a fabulous class on Pervertables.  He discussed these as being traditionally "vanilla" items that could be made into something fun for a scene.

Places he suggested to look for items along with some additional selections from yours truly:

• Home Depot or hardware stores
• Tack Shop (Horse Supply stores)
• Gardening supply stores (HELLO! Garden Weasels anyone?!) 
• Pet stores (collars, cat toys, bells, you name it)
• Toys R Us (toy soldiers, and other ridiculous or humiliating items can be found) 
• Camping stores-you can find mallets here for tent stakes 
• Craft stores-cheap feathers and rhinestones plus tons of other fun things to let your imagination run wild 
• Christmas Tree Shoppe- Huge ass fly swatters for 2 dollars
• Job Lot, you never know what you might find
• Dollar Stores - clothes pins 
• Yard Saling 

Anyone else have more suggestions? Comment here and I will gladly add!!  Also, tell us what you buy, send pix and I will post :) 

Other helpful tips:  Please don't be "weird" at the store when you are shopping, you don't want to get kicked out or draw negative attention to yourself.  So if you are like me and you are in the rope section nearly wetting yourself, try to keep that underwraps!

Safety:  

• Make sure your items are not porous and are able to be cleaned appropriately 
• Be sure that your items don't have seams in them if you are going to use them as an insertable, you could cause unwanted harm-sad day!  
• Most things are insertable, not everything is removable!!  
• If you are not sure, ask someone more experienced about how to properly clean something, or if it could be used.

Fun Times:

  2 of our lovely NEDS members went head to head using their kinky creativity to come up with the sickest ideas of how to use an item pulled out of a bag.  One of our newest members passionateyes walked away with her very own Garden Weasel!  I have no doubt that she will put it to good use.  

The class wrapped up with some very interesting electricity play.  I don't know about you, but I have never seen better or funnier reactions than I did watching FireWalkerSwitch!  He would laugh and ask for more and I really can't describe it, but it was fabulous!!!  

Thank you so much for all who were able to attend and to KinksterGeek for such a fun and educational class!!  

Please tell your friends that we are looking for a person to manage hospitality for NEDS, message me if you are interested :)  

See you soon!

Face Slaps and Kisses,

Annual Picnic Recap

Hello Kinksters!


  I just got back from the NEDS picnic and I had such a blast.  I want to personally thank silverdreams for organizing the whole thing, and really making the event shine.  I also want to thank Railen for doing so much of the cooking and membership transactions.  You all are such hard workers, it is nice to be on your team.

Jade_Desires and NotsoVanillo won first place in the scavenger hunt.  Each taking home a special new toy to add to their ever growing collections. Among other things, Domino led a fabulous on-location whip practice, which was so helpful to many of our members.  Thank you for being so willing to teach people :)  The weather was hot and the dust and dirty was furious, but everyone seemed to have a great time.

I hope that you all had as great of a time as I did.  I also hope to see you at our monthly class which will be held on Friday June 14.  Fetlife Event Page, the topic this month is Pervertables.

Here is some information about the class:

Toybag feeling a little light? New to kink and on a tight budget? Traveling and want to avoid questions from the TSA? Looking for a way to make your partner squirm? The answer to all of these scenarios and more is pervertables.

In this session, Kinkstergeek will explore the world of improvised toys that you can find practically anywhere. He will cover how to assess the safety of found objects, where to find pervertables in your own home, places to purchase new toys, uncommon and unexpected uses of everyday items, and will share some favorites from his toybag. If you're lucky, he may even show you his garden weasel…

Don't let his sweet and innocent looks fool you, Kinkstergeek is an evil bastard, bratty top, cuddly sadist, and sick fuck, not to mention a total geek. He loves all things sharp & pointy, electricity, & meat tenderizers. In his five years in the scene, he's developed a passion for some of the edgier aspects of the kink world and is a strong advocate of both in-depth research and safety. You will often find him giggling in the dungeon while making people squirm in creative ways.

Note: As always, NEDS will hold an orientation for new members or those new to the scene prior to the class beginning at 6:30. Attendance at the orientation is not mandatory to attend the class, but it is recommended if you're new to the group or to BDSM in general.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!!
