Boston TNG can connect you with a lot of the kink events in Boston if you're within their age range (18-35), and perhaps more importantly, give you the scoop on which events are good.

FetLife does have active listings for many kink events (or at least did pre-pandenic).

If you can put up with sifting through the usual dating app mess, I recommend finding experienced partners on Feeld

Try FetLife. It can at least point you to reputable classes

Sorry I really don't hang out with that crowd. I hope you get in the loop, I know when your not tied into a fun community it can feel like a real drag and make you feel like your at the end of your rope! But I'm sure finding one will be a real cinch with the help of this subreddit.

Boo this man

i'm sorry i could knot help myself.\!

While Massachusetts is by far the best state in all of the US, one problem is that hitting people with their consent is illegal ( Google paddleboro). So there are very few kink skill-shares open to the public. The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom is working to reform the laws in MA. Maybe chip in to help? And visit NY sometime, although Brooklyn is way better than Manhattan ( most visitors make the mistake of staying in Manhattan )

It honestly looks pretty dead on fetlife, which is unfortunate!

Don't kink shame! This person clearly gets off on rope puns.

It's a few months out, but try going to Tethered Together in March. It has classes and will give you the chance to meet people.

I used to help run one of the local TNG groups and recently spoke with another person who used to as well. Unfortunately most of the events (Rope Bite, Waltham Rope Night, most of the munches) haven't recovered from the pandemic. FetLife will have the most up to date information on those groups.

Most open to the general public classes are no longer in MA. Tethered Together is an amazing conference and worth your time to travel to CT.

As for MA, everything is underground. You will need to connect directly with people in the community.

Look up some of the rope/shibari people in the area on Fetlife. If you don’t know how, start by checking out the profiles of the people involved with Tethered Together/instructors from last years con. Ask to Meet with them at a munch etc and be patient. When you’ve demonstrated yourself to be trustworthy, you may get invites into the private rope groups.

I think Good Vibes in Brookline has various kink related courses.

Omg I remember when that paddleboro scandal went down. They were so horrible to the people that were involved CONSENTUALLY. Making sure to out the female VP of some bank. Make sure everyone knew exactly what she was doing. It was so sexist and so vile.

Massachusetts has a history of railroading the innocent. Google Bernard Baran and Fells Acres.

These rope puns could really land you in a bind.

-So witch hunts are just one big land snatch?

-(cocks gun) Always have been

Best part is that the same people who thought that the consenting adults involved in paddleboro merited police attention were at the same time saying that Cardinal Law was being unfairly persecuted for letting his priests fuck kids.

I don't know the state of things now but they were doing excellent shibari courses in 2019

I can tie my shoes

Good places for kink?

Prosecutors never change. It’s all about railroading the innocent and protecting the powerful. Alvin Bragg in NYC let Trump go, but threw the book at a Dominican Bodega owner who acted in self defense.

I really thought this was some kinda martial arts thing, wondered why it was marked NSFW, and now have some search history to delete 😂

Just read about that in detail... wow that's fucked up, both the "voluntary" resignations and the Alba case - it's fascinating how the "justice" system seems to have a much bigger problem with law abiding citizens defending themselves than with people who actually take advantage of others.

It's almost like they can't stand the thought of someone not being totally dependent on them.
