About the Night

 

FASCINATION is a gear/ fetish/ kink night currently happening in the Boston area. Our flagship party happens at Legacy Night Club (79 Warrenton St.) every first Monday of the Month from 9pm-1am. Please join our mailing list by tapping here to keep up to date on the party as well as additional special events. DJ Colby Drasher is our resident DJ and spins techno, tech/deep house, electronica and other dark and sexy grooves. The night also features visual projections by Michael Flowers highlighting both original footage as well as scenes from vintage kink cinema. We often host guest demos led by local members of the Boston leather, rubber, and BDSM community for folks looking to learn from each other about kink they are curious about. Although the event is leather inspired, we are looking to bring together a diverse and gender inclusive cross section of Boston fetish culture (rubber, sports gear, bondage, S&M, and pup play) by creating a space for folks in the community to meet up.

NO DRESS CODE but fetish gear and creativity are both strongly encouraged. (Leather, Rubber, Sports Gear, Pup Play, BDSM Gear, Levis, Boots, Masks) Feel free to change at the club.

CONSENT
ALWAYS receive clear and explicit consent before touching another person. When in doubt, ask. If anyone is making you uncomfortable at the event, please approach a staff member if you need support or assistance. Disrespectful patrons will be asked to leave.

PHOTO POLICY
We respectfully ask that you refrain from taking or sharing photos or videos that include individuals who have not provided explicit consent. This includes but is not limited to the demonstrations that will be occurring throughout the night. When in doubt, please don’t.

Members of the Fascination team will be on hand all night and identifiably wearing Illuminated red armbands. If you need assistance, we are here to help. We appreciate you working with us to keep Fascination a safe space for everyone.

NOTE ABOUT JOCKSTRAPS
Jock Straps are still totally cool but if you wear one (or anything that exposes your ass), the bar has just asked that we toss a bandana or shirt in the back down the center to cover the "cleft".

NOTE ABOUT PLAY
FASCINATION is a sex and kink positive organization. We encourage you to explore, embrace and share your sexuality (specifically your interest in fetish) with the fellow kinksters you meet at our events. Fascination wants your sex. HOWEVER, PLEASE DO NOT FUCK, SUCK OR JERK 0FF WHILE ON BAR PROPERTY. We love your cock. We love your hole. The bar also likes their liquor license. Please keep them concealed while you are here. We dig you sexy fuckers and do not want the bar to ask anyone to leave. For additional information on the official city policies regarding this matter, please visit:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

 Can you tell me more about Fascination?
Fascination is a monthly fetish get together we organize at 79 Warrenton st. in Boston. We tend to attract a ton of folks into leather, sports gear and pup play but we welcome kinksters of all kinds. DJ Colby Drasher is our resident DJ and spins techno, tech/deep house, electronica and other dark and sexy grooves. The night also features visual projections by Michael Flowers highlighting both original footage as well as scenes from vintage kink cinema. Folks dance but it's more of a cruisey vibe with pretty consistent BDSM demos happening through out the night. The thing we are most proud of is that it's a really friendly crowd with people that actually talk to each other. You should check out the next party!

What should I wear?/ I don’t have any gear, will I fit in?

We have no dress code so please come in whatever makes you feel comfortable and confident. We have people that come in from everything from jeans and a t-shirt to full leather kits. Our crowd is predominantly into leather and sports gear but the fetish spectrum runs the gamut and we encourage a multitude of presentations. The only thing the bar has asked is that if folks wear a jock strap or anything that exposes your ass, that they toss a bandanna in back in the center. It more of a stand, cruise and socialize crowd than a dance crowd though the music is great and we get a bit of dancing as well.

Should I come alone?/ I’m kinda nervous, will I meet people there?
If you are the type of person who feels comfortable in new settings meeting new people, you should feel free to come solo and check out the night alone! If you get anxious in smaller rooms with medium to larger crowds or feel uncomfortable in kink spaces that welcome a multitude of genders, gender presentations and sexualities, Fascination may not be the space for you. If you feel more comfortable in groups of people that you know and would like a group to fall back to, you should invite a couple of people to come with It is a really friendly crowd and we make every effort for all attendees to feel safe and comfortable. Hope that helps!

Is this a play party?
Sadly, Fascination is not a play party because Boston’s puritanical rules are lame and the bar has to play by them to keep their liquor license. Folks dance but it's more of a cruisey vibe with pretty consistent BDSM demos happening through out the night. The thing we are most proud of is that it's a really friendly crowd with people that actually talk to each other. You should check out the next party! 

Are women, trans folks and non-binary folks welcome in yours space?
Always! Fascination is a space that centers the intersection of queerness and kink and makes every attempt to welcome everyone under that umbrella regardless of gender or gender expression.

Though, historically, we have skewed heavily toward gay men, since our re-launch in April of 2022 we have had a significantly higher number of queer women, non-binary folks and binary trans people attend the party. We prioritize creating a welcoming and safe atmosphere for all of the queer community members in attendance. We have been partnering with members of these communities to make sure that everyone feels welcome within the space.

We also have a zero tolerance policy for misogyny, transphobia or racism in our space and also take consent practices very seriously. We hope to see you at the next event!

What is your policy around consent?

ALWAYS receive clear and explicit consent before touching another person. When in doubt, ask. If anyone is making you uncomfortable at the event, please approach a staff member if you need support or assistance. Disrespectful patrons will be asked to leave.
