9 Sexy Underground NSFW Events For Couples In New York City

June 17th

Broadway Bares is an annual charity event that combines Broadway-level talent and showmanship with teeny-tiny G-strings and pasties. This year’s theme is “Game Night” where performers will “put a sassy, seductive spin on games you know and love,” including “a pulsating poke at pinball” and “saucy virtual reality video games.”

Broadway Cares/Equity Fighting AIDS has raised millions in the fight against HIV/AIDS since its inception in 1992. Last year’s theme was “Strip U,” a playful take on college courses, and while the Broadway dancers, choreography and set design wowed audiences, the leaves-no-room-for-the-imagination costumes on the “co-eds” left many breathless…and perhaps more than a few breathing heavily.

Keep your eyes peeled for A-list celebrity appearances. Last year, Judith Light graced the stage after the show and the likes of James Franco and John Stamos have been known to show some skin for past Broadway Bares events. Uncle Jesse doesn’t do it for you? Famous supporters of Broadway Bares include Kristin Chenoweth, Neil Patrick Harris, Alan Cumming, Angela Lansbury and Jay-Z.

DETAILS: Broadway Bares makes NYC blush at 7:30 p.m. and again at midnight.

idk tip: Midnight shows tend to see more “wardrobe malfunctions”, *wink wink*.

PRICE: Tickets range from $65 to $3,000.

Kimberly M. Aquilina is a professional journalist with a B.A. in Communications from Penn State who went from having sex for the wrong reasons, dealing with sexual abuse, losing her sense of sexuality to finding her happiest self. While she doesn’t lead her boyfriend around Times Square on a leash, kink is a part of her identity and she is part of the sex-positive community. She writes about sex but will not have it with you. She found her person and is in a loving, serious, monogamous relationship with “her human” (what others might call “The One”). Kim lives in Brooklyn with her two cats who serve as copy editors, in that they like walking across her keyboard and deleting large chunks of text right before deadline.
