About
Most of what we want to say about 141 Kinks Events lives in the listings themselves — the events, the venues, the resources page. This is the part that didn't fit on the front page: why we built an events directory, how we put it together, who's behind it, and what we believe about this corner of the web.
Nothing here is required reading. We wrote it for the people who, having used the site, wondered why we bothered.
Where this came from
Barcelona has one of the richest kink and BDSM scenes in Europe, and almost none of it is easy to find. Event information lives in Instagram stories that expire, Telegram groups you have to know someone to join, word of mouth at the last party you went to, and flyers pinned inside venues you've already been to. Much of it is in Spanish only, some in Catalan, almost none in English — and there's no single place that pulls it all together.
We wanted a curated, trilingual directory of what's actually happening — in English, Spanish, and Catalan — so that someone new to the city, new to the scene, or just new to looking could find their way in without needing to already be connected.
That's the whole brief. Everything else came from trying to do that one thing well.
What we believe about the work
A handful of convictions sit underneath the design choices we've made. None of them are clever; all of them are load-bearing.
Kink isn't a personality, a phase, or a diagnosis. It's part of how some people are oriented toward intimacy. Treating it that way — without sensationalism, without pathology, without coyness — is harder than it sounds, and the whole tone of the site is calibrated for it.
Curation means saying no. We don't list everything we find. Every event on this site has been verified — dates confirmed, venues checked, organizers contacted where possible. A directory full of stale or inaccurate listings is worse than no directory at all.
Privacy on this kind of site is architectural, not promotional. There are no accounts, no cookies, no tracking. We could learn interesting things from analytics; we've designed the site so that we can't. That's an active choice, and we'd rather wear it as a constraint than print it as a slogan.
None of this is meant to replace a therapist. The resources page is where we point people who want depth on a specific area, and the practitioners listed there have spent careers developing what we've spent a few years on.
Putting it together
Every listing on this site goes through the same process. We source events from public listings, organizer channels, community submissions, and our own attendance. Then we verify: dates, times, venues, pricing, and whether the event is actually happening. Where we can, we reach out to organizers directly to confirm details and flag anything that's changed. Nothing gets published until we've confirmed it ourselves.
Venues get the same treatment. We visit where possible, cross-reference addresses and hours, and note what a newcomer would want to know — dress codes, accessibility, the kind of crowd you'll find. The directory is small on purpose: we'd rather list thirty verified venues than three hundred we can't vouch for.
Who's making it
141 Kinks Events is a project of the Hazel Hyena Team — a small group with backgrounds in product design, lived community, and the long tail of half-broken kink quizzes friends kept handing us. We work mostly anonymously, and on purpose. The territory is private; we'd like the work judged on the work, and we'd like the people who know us in our day jobs to find their way here on their own time.
The Kink Spectrum Project is the umbrella the work sits under. The events directory sits alongside the 141 Kinks quiz — they're separate tools built by the same team, for the same community, under the same set of values.
There are no investors, no advertising, and no commercial partners. The site is self-funded by the team, and we'd like to keep it that way.
Changes
We'll update this page when the project's direction, methodology, or the team behind it changes in any meaningful way. Last updated May 2026.
Contact: team@141kinks.com. Venue corrections, missing events, feedback on how the directory works — they all land in the same inbox, and they're read by people.
