Help Diva Decide On TESFest 2009

Last night I attended the reading at Happy Ending hosted by Carol Queen and the NYC Sex Bloggers Calendar and was finally able to meet Goddess Coko whom I have been corresponding with lately in regard to TESFest 2009.

We missed each other last week at Pleasure Salon even though we were both there at the same time but that is what happens in this online world when you have no idea what each other looks like in person. Upon meeting Coko last night she remarked "I only know you from your cleavage" as we both looked down at my mostly covered up cleavage and which seems to be the start of most introductions I have in person these days when I meet someone IRL.

Coko and I have been discussing TESFest 2009 since I contacted her not that long ago about including information for it in the Best Sex Bloggers CommUNITY newsletter although I have never actually attended before. I think most of what I know about TESFest is from blog posts I have read online and those all seem to describe the time people spend in the dungeon playing. I don't recall reading much about the specific classes that are offered over the course of several days during TESFest.

Last night Coko said how she would like for me to attend this year and my first reaction was "I don't think so." I have never thought about going to an event such as TESFest in the past and I think the reason is that I only associate it with the playtime spent in the dungeon there. Although I'm open to whatever anyone else wants to do with their sexual freedom I don't think at this point in my life it is something for me. However if I have learned one thing in these past few years it is to never say never.

What has piqued my interest in these type of events are the classes that are held during the day there. I guess you can say I have been on a quest to expand my personal overall knowledge of sex these past couple of years and for me the idea of being in a space where I am able to pick and choose classes to attend that are totally new to me does interest me very much.

I told Coko last night that what I would like to see is for people who are attending this year and have in the past to write about why they attend. What is it about TESFest other than the evening activities that makes them sign up for this.

Is it the classes? Or is it the other like minded people they meet at an event such as this that brings them back each year? Was there one special thing about TESFest that stands out in their mind? If so what is it?

Did TESFest live up to what they thought it would be when they decided to attend for the first time? What I want to see are their personal thoughts of what they get out of TESFest.

So being the good little submissive that I am I'm seriously considering attending for at least part of the event and I need your help to convince me. If you blog I'd like to see you post your thoughts and feelings to the questions I asked above. If you don't blog and still want to write about why you attend email it to me at diva@bestsexbloggers.com and I'll post it for you.

One of the things I like best about being part of this CommUNITY is how we all share our thoughts and experiences with each other and for me it has helped open my eyes to both new experiences and the many different communities around us.

Now do as I say and go start writing!
