Michal Daveed is the Media Representative for The Eulenspiegel Society (TES), the oldest BDSM community in the United States. She also teaches classes at TES and elsewhere on kink, particularly about erotic hypnosis.  Personally, she is a New York-based submissive who has been in the BDSM Scene for about four years. In her vanilla life, she is a writer.

* the history of TES and how membership works,

* the myths about BDSM

* the community and who is typically attracted to it

* the types of classes they offer (caning, anyone?),

* social events such as munches,

* how to find a play partner you trust,

* negotiating play

* play/scene etiquette,

* safe words,

* erotic hypnotism

* the emotional value of being part of the community

* how kink can be a creative expression
