Join sex educator and author Niki Davis-Fainbloom for the official NYC launch of Fetish: Smash Taboos and Celebrate What Turns You On—an immersive evening exploring desire through storytelling, science, live shibari, and playful surprises.
The night will include:
- Drinks, vendors, and a chance to meet Georgio Carpet at the bar
- A short reading from Fetish
- Book signing and mingling
- A sensory room
- Electro Operation
- Live performances
- More surprises to discover throughout the night
How does something completely ordinary become intensely erotic—and what can our most unusual turn-ons teach us about desire? Drawing on hundreds of studies, interviews, and an original survey of 260 people, Niki will take attendees on a scholarly romp into the world of unique desires and offer insights into what makes us all uniquely weird—and therefore totally normal—humans.
Whether you have a fetish, love someone who does, or are simply curious about the wonderfully weird ways people get turned on, you’re invited to celebrate desire without shame.
