Esoterotica is a revolving cast of poets, writers, and storytellers based out of New Orleans exploring what it is to be sensual, sexual, creative, and connected. Erotica is defined in the dictionary as "literature or art designed to arouse sexual desire." We do not think this is enough. To us, erotica explores an integral part of the human experience, the pleasures of the senses. It combines the two binders of humanity, written language and sexual experience. We encourage you to enjoy this exploration with us.

    Esoterotica: "Kinky F***s"

    Esoterotica: "Kinky F***s"

    Welcome to Esoterotica’s “Kinky Fucks” for May 12th, 2021.

    If you’ve never been to an Esoterotica event—you may not know that we are some kinky f***s. Our Provocateurs get into all sorts of... let’s say less than usual sexual practices. And we do love them for it. If you’re interested in knowing more, you’ll need to ask them yourselves. And I highly recommend doing that. We have a quickie show tonight but it’s thick with the good stuff.

    And you’re going to want to stick through to the end for some major news that we are so excited about...

    Featuring:
    Panzachual Just Shannon Mike Marina 
    And with that we come to the end of Esoterotica’s “Kinky F***s.” There are all sorts of words that are used to describe those with kinky proclivities. Some we embrace, others we reject. But we here at Esoterotica encourage you to be safe, sane, and consensual when seeking to dig in and shed the shame for what may not be on the average menu.

    Join us in two weeks for our theme, "Bare Essentials." What are your green flags? What turns you on, sets your dials to yes, turns your sails in the direction of a person.

    And now for our news...

    On Wednesday, June 9th at 9pm you can find us back home in the AllWays Lounge on Saint Claude Avenue in New Orleans, Louisiana. It will have been one year and three months since we have been able to deliver our passion and poetry from the stage and I know I speak not only for myself when I say that I am ecstatic and grateful to be returning. Our cover will be $5 and we are elated to see your masked faces and reconnect with you in the flesh.

    Music tonight was “Tales” by Ketsa.

    Esoterotica: "On Fire"

    Esoterotica: "On Fire"

    Welcome to Esoterotica’s “On Fire” for April 28th, 2021.

    For good reasons, the concept of passion being a flame goes back centuries. Fire is a ruiner and a method of cleansing. It can provide the warmth we need to survive the night. It can burn our whole fucking house down. A vital fire, neglected, can smother into nothing. And embers, hidden and forgotten can give birth to a new blaze. Tonight we bring to you a bit of our passion. So turn down the lights, like a candle or a whole damn inferno as you enjoy us “On Fire.”

    Join us in two weeks for our theme, “Kinky Fucks.” From bondage to exhibition, submission to tease, edge play, cuffs, collars, clamps, and control—get ready because we at Esoterotica truly are some Kinky Fucks. From now til then, don’t be shy about digging into the unusual of what gets you hot. If you can’t remember when you last felt the freedom to try something new, it may be time. In whatever you may find, remember: consent and communication are sexy.

    Esoterotica: "Soft"

    Esoterotica: "Soft"

    Greetings, denizens of Esoterotica Land and welcome to Esoterotica’s “Soft” for April 14th, 2021.

    My name is Mike Marina, subbing in for Shadow Angelina this evening. Tonight our provocateurs will explore the theme and idea of soft—gentle quiet—for in this loud raucous world, sometimes what we need is a contrast. Often Esoterotica’s provocateurs are bombastic, this night is that contrast.

    Esoterotica: "Gods and Monsters"

    Esoterotica: "Gods and Monsters"

    Welcome to Esoterotica’s "Gods and Monsters" for March 31st, 2021.

    When the Provocateurs of Esoterotica contemplate this particular theme, we never quite know what will happen. What we do know is that the delving into power exchange, the conventionally accepted ideas of what constitutes a god or a monster, the excavation of what is both divine and terrible within ourselves, never fails to leave us satisfied, while simultaneously filled with even more questions than we had before. Desire, sex, love each of these can make Gods or Monsters of us all... often both at the same time.

    Join us in two weeks for our theme, "Soft." Be it volume, textures, feelings, or moments, often Esoterotica’s provocateurs are bombastic, this night is the opposite. From now til then, begin thinking about what brings out the softness in you. The gentle and vulnerable in each of us is not easy to keep coaxing to the surface. How do you protect it, while still allowing it to thrive?

    Esoterotica: "Dirty Deeds and Messy Minds"

    Esoterotica: "Dirty Deeds and Messy Minds"

    Welcome to Esoterotica’s "Dirty Deeds and Messy Minds" for March 17th, 2021.

    Sometimes life is messy; and tonight we are going to let that messy open it’s dirty wings and let go. Messy and dirty are deceptively complicated words and we each define them differently. From the heart-ravaging to the filthy perfection our 6 Provocateurs have taken this theme to its limits in all directions. We are so pleased that you’ve chosen to join us for our sometimes sticky, sometimes bloody, wild ride.
