FETISH: The Official NYC Book Launch Party

Join sex educator and author Niki Davis-Fainbloom for the official launch of Fetish: Smash Taboos and Celebrate What Turns You On—an evening

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.

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.

The evening will include:

  • A short reading and conversation with Niki
  • A screening of a short fetish documentary
  • Live performances
  • An interactive, anonymous “secret desires” experience
  • A raffle, drinks, mingling, and more playful surprises
  • Books available for purchase and signing

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.
