| Dear lovers, readers, rebels, and erotic explorers,
As this year comes to a close, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude for you—the growing, glowing community that gathers at TheLauraDesiree.com to celebrate sensuality, storytelling, and the electric pulse of pleasure-positive culture. Thank you for reading, writing, showing up, and sharing so much of your beautiful inner worlds with me. Every message you’ve sent to my inbox, every article you’ve shared, and every vulnerable slice of your life that you’ve trusted me with has shaped what this platform is becoming. You inspire me endlessly.
The Year Eros Unbound Became a Movement
What began as a daring experiment at Red Pavilion has now cemented itself as New York City’s front-line erotic arts uprising.
This year, Eros Unbound reached heights I never could have imagined—thanks to you and our extraordinary roster of guest readers.
We welcomed Steve Buscemi, Gina Gershon, John Waters, Griffin Dunne, John Ventimiglia, James Frey, Austin Butler, and so many other legends who stepped onto our stage and into our erotic dreamscape. Your energy made every night feel revolutionary.
And yes—we do it all again January 29th, 2026.
Mark your calendar, because this one will be unmissable:
Our special guest reader is the iconic SEAN YOUNG, sharing her own confessional material in the kind of intimate setting you cannot experience anywhere else.
We return, once again, to our beloved home:
Red Pavilion — 1241 Flushing Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11237
An opulent, red-lit den of desire where every seat feels like a secret and every corner hums with anticipatory delight. It remains, without question, the best date night in New York City—whether you bring a lover, a friend, or your most curious inner self.

The Erotic Archive You Asked For: My Substack
This year also saw the birth of a new space for us to gather:
My Substack, a home for all the erotic stories we read at Eros and the deeper reflections you’ve been asking for.

It’s where the stories live… the ones you’ve requested, the ones you whispered about after the show, the ones that made your pulse jump. A place for all things raw, literary, confessional, and gorgeously human.
What You Created With Me
Your engagement with the articles on my site this year has meant everything. You wrote to me about heartbreak, kink, grief, pleasure, longing, sobriety, first desires, late-blooming fantasies, and rediscovering your own erotic voice. You shared experiences that cracked me open with recognition. You reminded me why storytelling is the most ancient and powerful erotic act we have.
Thank you for trusting me with your truths. I’ll continue to meet you with mine.
What’s Coming in 2026
Stay close, because next year holds some of the biggest announcements of my career:
• My memoir Learning to Swallow It All releases.
A plunge into agency, impulse, grief, desire, and the radical reclamation of self.
• More Eros Unbound. More shows. More guests. More permission.
We are only getting started.
• Behind-the-scenes access, events, writing, and musings on IG

• New collaborations, new stages, new deep dives into the erotic arts.
I want you with me for all of it.
From the bottom of my heart—and from the deepest, dirtiest corners of my imagination—thank you for an unforgettable year.
I wish you a decadent holiday season and a stunning, pleasure-filled New Year.
With love, lust, and endless gratitude,
Laura |
