BDSM relationships: what to do when they end
The good, the bad and the ugly about breaking up with a scene partner
Most of us have gone through breakups, in and out of the scene, and they are never easy, even for the partner who initiated the breakup. Sometimes there’s no way of avoiding pain or avoiding hurting someone else. But there are ways to try to make things easier, Eric Pride told Long Island Leather N Roses on Tuesday, July 22.
Think of it more as a “transformation”
For many people the word “breakup” means destruction or hatred, while using the term “transformation” can lead to civility and respect, Eric said. Also, people sometimes think a breakup means they’ve failed. Eric suggested instead to cherish the experiences you’ve had together and don’t consider it wasted time. See the rest of this entry…

Past event: July 22: Eric Pride on Managing Scene Breakups
Managing Breakups in the Scene:
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
When: Tuesday, July 22, 2014, 8-10:30 pm, Toney Roses, 65 E Jefryn Blvd Deer Park, NY 11729 @ map
About the discussion:
An inevitable reality about relationships is that they may not last forever. The same of course is true for relationships in the scene. Breakups are taxing, stressful and very emotional.
In this presentation we talk about why lifestyle relationships sometimes come to an end, how to handle the breakup process, and how to get back on our feet again. Questions we will address include: How are lifestyle and vanilla breakups different? What are “fair breakups”? How do we handle our own and previous partner’s feelings and emotions? How do we deal with family, friends and other people who are affected by the breakup? How do we get back out there? See the rest of this entry…

The pleasure of Tantric erogenous zones
Finding your pleasure zones
Can touching the tip of your partner’s nose, or stroking her little finger, turn her on?
Perhaps—these are two of the “tertiary” erogenous zones that lovers wishing to have a more intense experience might consider exploring.
Teachers Michaels & Johnson talked about using erogenous zones during their hands-on class at the July 8 LILNR meeting.
Offering a demonstration on each other as they explained each zone, the couple encouraged audience members to pair up and try tantric touch on each other. See the rest of this entry…

BYOS
Please bring your own stuff: food, beverage and charcoal. Some people get together to share their charcoal and other goodies. Most of us bring extras! It makes for a fun kinky family atmosphere.
Bring a ball or two, bring a racquet. You never know who you can pry out of a chair for an impromptu game. Volleyball may be the game of the day! Frisbees are always a hit!
While the event is FREE, please respond to the RSVP (link below) so Bob knows how many tables to round up.
This is a meeting of kinky people in a vanilla place with people of all ages and persuasions around us. Though it should go without saying, please keep you clothes on the vanilla side and no overt BDSM play in the park.

Tantric Erogenous Zones with Michaels and Johnson
Finding your pleasure zones
In Tantric sexual practice, it is important to prolong the excitement phase. The Tantric and Ayurvedic traditions have long recognized specific zones of the body that are particularly responsive to stimulation, and some schools of Tantra (particularly in South India) have developed a systematic approach to the stimulation of these zones in order to produce high states of arousal. This system was introduced to the West by Dr. Jonn Mumford in 1976 and is still little known. In this workshop, we will introduce you to to these zones and the basic principles for working with them systematically. See the rest of this entry…
