Sex Week Boston 2026 will be May 10-17, and we're hosting our first Boston-area Teasecraft meetup in several years!

We plan to meet in Somerville on Thursday May 14, with a lecture/demo, group discussion, and more; bring what you've made for show and tell ! Newbies welcome! More details to follow soon.


teasecraft meetup groups are for folks interested in making their own sex toys / BDSM equipment / other kinky and fun things.

All are welcome, regardless of your (a)sexuality/orientation/gender or what materials you work with (electronics, wood, metal, leather, software, etc.).

The goals of teasecraft are to:

  • Create local, sex/kink-positive spaces where people can have informal conversations about making and hacking technology
  • Bring together makers and crafters who work with a diverse range of materials
  • Give everyone an opportunity to see the fun things that their neighbors are building

teasecraft isn't a formal organization, but a loose collection of people hosting meetup groups in their own local areas.

Just one group? Hey, we've got to start somewhere. Speaking of which...
