Toys 5 is a dungeon party for men and for people who have lived experience as men.

Toys is returning to Gallery Erato, the Pioneer Square home of the Pan Eros Foundation (the non-profit that produces the Seattle Erotic Art Festival). It's a large, multi-level space with tall ceilings. A perfect place for our kind of party.

When you first enter the Toys party you'll walk through the exhibition of men-in-art (curated especially for the month of December). In this same area, we'll have several kinky tops who will be offering brief (10-15 minute) tastings in their areas of expertise.

Then you'll come to a suspension area and demonstration area (14' ceilings). The main play space will be downstairs - and it's very large. Lots of great opportunities and spaces for play.

All proceeds from this event benefit the Pan Eros Foundation.

Come play hard.

Advance tickets only. Limited tickets available.
Water available. Please bring your own bottle or cup.

Having conducted field research on cock and ball torture (CBT) for nearly 50 years, Daniel presents their non-scientific findings for your consideration and entertainment. This workshop will include a survey of cock and ball bondage, different methods of torture and CBT safety considerations as well as a brief overview of a few of the off-the-shelf CBT toys commonly available. During most of this class, Daniel will demonstrate their techniques (none of which involve off-the-shelf CBT toys) on participants not chosen at random. More than just a nuts-and-bolts guide, Daniel will also discuss the delicate topic of introducing oneself or one’s partner to CBT. The goal is to create enthusiasts – people who will come back to CBT again and again. This class is demonstration based, with lecture.

The Hypnokink Enthusiasts Group has decided to have a first hypnosis-themed play party. There will be demos, trance tastings, and group trance play - but we will also have spaces for couples' quiet trance play, hypnosis-themed BDSM play and for trancey, sexy times (if you're planning to have sex, please bring your own sheets). There will also be a small social area. Trance play will be allowed everywhere.

For those who can be there when our party starts, we're going to start with an introduction circle where we introduce ourselves, give a quick user's guide to the party and do a chill group trance induction.

Rules for the party will be at the door.  You'll be asked to review and sign them before entering.

Ticket Price:  $30 per person/$50 for couples - $10 Discount code available for members of the HEG Discord Channel.

Saturday November 18th at 1 PM to 3 PM is this month’s Hypnokink Enthusiasts Group Skillshare event.  It’s a free event (although donations, which benefit the Pan Eros Foundation, are gratefully accepted). 

New folks who arrive at 1 PM can sit in on our terms-and-concepts discussion, which is about 15 minutes long. The rest of the event is devoted to doing a more deep dive into important topics in Erotic Hypnosis.  This month, our topic will be “Navigating Consent, Negotiation, and Rapport for Pick-up Play”.  We’ve chosen this topic because, later in the evening of the 18th, we’re having our first-ever Hypnokink *play party*.  SUPER exciting. 

As always, we’ll be doing some introductions and our usual start-of-event Betty Erickson group induction to get us all in the mood.  See you there!

For more information, have a look at the Pan Eros website.



The Men Tying Men Rope Bondage Skillshare event is Wednesday November 15 at 7 PM at Gallery Erato.  Free event - though donations to our host is very appreciated.

We will continue our practice of convening as a group a little after 7 to do introductions and explanations.  Then we'll split into two groups:  folks who'd like to take my rope bondage introduction workshop and folks who'd like to do more advanced individual play downstairs.  ALL play at this event is understood to be skillsharing, so expect folks to ask you questions while you're working. That's the whole point of this thing.

More information at the Pan Eros Foundation website.

See you then!

Really fun podcast discussion with the host of Kinkyboys Podcast, HairyHypnotist, my boy Status and me - about hypnosis, conditioning and brainwashing.  So much fun!

Podcast HERE.

I first met Status on Hypnosis For Guys a few months ago. We figured out pretty quickly we had some kind of chemistry, but he lives a drive and a boat-ride away so it took us a while to connect in person. We've been hypnosis book study buddies. We've spent hours in video chat talking about our experiences with hypnosis and coming up with hypnosis ideas and speculating about why things work the way they do. And we've talked a LOT about what we wanted to do when we met.

Often, in my experience, when two people spend that much time previewing sessions before meeting expectations for that first session are inevitably so built-up that the session can't help but disappoint. And so when we both finally met, I think we were both a little concerned that we wouldn't be able to compete with the fantasy us that we'd concocted in the months leading up to that final moment. We underestimated our chemistry. Incalculably much. It was immediate and electric and a little bit magical.

We're grownups. We're going to be reasonable about all this, but... Jesus.

Anyway. This first video is just a tiny, tiny clip from our very long first session. We focused on hypnosis and connection. But there was a little bondage. By the time we got here we were both so trance-drunk and fractionated that in our heads the events in this video took at LEAST 15 minutes. I only cut about 20 seconds from this video. Uncut, this whole part of our evening took about two minutes thirty seconds. We are both truly shocked. I've never seen such a bizarre and dramatic instance of hypnotic time dilation in the history of my hypnotic practice. Never mind. I'm not going to go into detail about all the stacked triggers and mantras at play here. Let's just say we got a fuckton of hypnosis done in our first session together - but the truly wonderful part is that we were left with a sense that we've only just barely scratched the surface.

Eventually, I will do the post-production necessary to release a version of a 30-minute (or so) video of some of my rope induction and bondage-related mantra in action. It's a little sad for both of us that, for real life reasons, I can't share that video without blurring his face, so most of you will never have access to the real content captured there. But I think you'll enjoy it just the same. Meantime, enjoy my trophyboy's cumshot from Friday night.

Oh! And you should know that he figured out I tied him so that if he leaned back in his bondage, his wrists were tied so that the ribbon would pull on his nutsack. Which he took full advantage of.
