Twisted Hearts - Cupid Who?

Bring your scars, your swagger, your “never again” and turn it all into fuel!

This Valentine’s Day 2026, ditch the clichés, skip the pressure, and join us for a kinky play party that celebrates independence, pleasure, and freedom from all the sappy stuff. Twisted Hearts is your sanctuary for an unforgettable, unromantic escape. Whether you’re single, partnered, poly, or simply over the heart-shaped fluff, this is your chance to embrace the unconventional, celebrate autonomy, and indulge your kinkiest desires.

A night for the unpaired, the repaired, and the “don’t label it” crowd all are welcome.

Twisted Hearts is also a perfect night to connect with other like-minded folks to explore, learn, and play. Come curious or come confident. Singles, couples, throuples, and every other relationship configuration are welcome and encouraged. Expect decadent delights that would make even the kinkiest Cupid blush.

If you personally identify with any flavor except vanilla, come spend February 13, 2026 with your people at Twisted Hearts. We look forward to seeing you there.
