About This Event

Join sex educator and author Niki Davis-Fainbloom for a celebration of Fetish: Smash Taboos and Celebrate What Turns You On—an evening exploring desire through storytelling, science, and playful surprises.

The night will include:

  • A short reading from Fetish
  • Book signing and mingling
  • Fetish trivia with prizes
  • 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.
