Fetish: Smash Taboos and Celebrate What Turns You On

Celebrate the launch of the book Fetish: Smash Taboos and Celebrate What Turns You On with Niki Fainbloom hosted by The Romance Section. 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.
