customLogo.gif DSD: The Learning Series
DSD is a community of real people who come together to share information, socialize, and discuss the issues that affect us all.

We’re launching a new monthly meet up for anyone who is interested in sexuality! It’s open to everyone!

Location: The LGBT Center, 208 West 13th St (7th/8th)., NYC, Room 410
Cost: Sliding Scale: $0 – 7.

Dov will be presenting for one hour on Crazy Glue Invisible Bondage and Infibulation!

Crazy glue is steeped in the depths of urban legends of late night rushes to the emergency room to unglue hapless victims who didn’t heed the warning on the label: “WILL BOND SKIN INSTANTLY.” This class is about demystifying this fun pervertible for mindfucks. We will discuss and demonstrate many wonderful perversions with this super-strength glue for bondage. We will also cover safety issues, some theory/chemistry of its function, and its intended medical usage.

Afterwards, we will have three 20-minute presentations, KinkForAll-style, by participants from the audience! Just show up — no need to sign-up!
