Is FetLife the only way to find local kink events?
No. FetLife needs an account and a login before it shows anything, and search engines can't see inside it. This page is public: every San Antonio listing here has its own open website, and the calendar shows dates without an account. If a group you know only exists on FetLife, ask its organizer to add it here for free.
