I’ve mentioned teasecraft before, and have just gotten word that it will be back on the 17th at Arisia!  Below is the announcement; the guest speaker, Lord Percival, is a great teacher and community member.  I hope some of you out there make your way to the event and find out it’s not just your thing, but you write me about your discoveries!  (Karin@ABCsOfKink.com)

This month, teasecraft-boston is coming to Arisia! Our next meetup on Friday, January 17, from 8:30-10:30pm at Arisia (Board Room 3W), will feature Lord Percival and his top tips for getting down with your kinky maker self!

Lord Percival will start with safety info — since these DIY projects are intended for use on (or in) people, it’s important to think carefully about safety. Then it’s time to talk about inspiration, imagination, and how to get your creative juices (and other juices) flowing. You’ll leave this meetup ready to dive into your own kinky DIY projects, old or new!

If you’ve got a project you’d like to share, or an idea that you’d like some feedback on, please bring it! Not working on a project right now? No worries! Come out and get inspired.

About the presenter:

Lord Percival (Percy to most) has been active in the scene both in private and in public for four decades, and been teaching, lecturing, mentoring, and training others for a quarter century. He’s been involved and associated with many New England Leather Alliance (NELA) events for a large number of years, from volunteering here and there, to giving classes, and serving as Program and Education Director for several years. As someone who finds amongst his first joyful memories taking apart a vacuum cleaner, Lord Percival loves tinkering with things and finding the most amazing toys within everything he touches.

About teasecraft-boston:

Teasecraft is a meetup group for folks interested in making their own sex toys / BDSM equipment / other kinky and fun things. All people 18+ are welcome, regardless of your (a)sexuality/orientation/gender/race or what materials you work with (electronics, wood, metal, leather, software, etc). We want to facilitate face-to-face conversation because it’s such a great medium for showing off projects, sharing stories, and meeting new collaborators.

Kinky Resolve

Happy New Years Kinksters!!!

You can do it! Just think it up first…

Today is the first day of a new year.  All the possibilities exist that always exist, but today they seem like shiny new coins.  So I propose harnessing (ha) that energy and thinking forward about what you would like to do in 2014…  what twisted, kinky, loving, brutal, curious, exciting, edgy, sexy, bucket-list type activities are on your radar for the new year?

If you haven’t already, get a ticket to Dark Odyessey’s Winter Fire, Bound in Boston, NELA’s Winter Fleamarket, or any of the other wonderful cons and events in your area, and commit to learning a thing or two about a thing or two that you’d like to learn.

Keep reading your ABCs, and please do send me your thoughts and ideas!  I’d love to hear what you have to say on the subject – all the things.

To growing ever more confident and getting to have great adult fun in the process,

To Breath and Being

Can you define what kink is to you?

photo_12aCropKink. hmmmm. This is a big one. Anybody with a sex drive has a kink. Kink is a game of connection, sensation and hierarchy.  When you give your horny a form, thats kink. And it goes both ways – kink will give your pinkest parts a form. It’s that gift which fits perfectly in your mind. If you let it.

Within kink there is often a sharp question: “Can you play like this with your entire self?” (followed by a state of shock)…

Kink is often associated with a troubled feeling of ick and/or belligerent danger. The associations you make depend on your level of experience, your creative skills and the sex culture that you have been steeped in and are working to build.
