      <description>&lt;div&gt;The Center for Safe Sex
&lt;br/&gt;2051 Market Street
&lt;br/&gt;San Francisco, CA 94114
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Friday, Feb 15,2008
&lt;br/&gt;07:00 pm - 01:00 am
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The guys at EROS are all worked up about having an official IBR event. We're even renaming the club B'EROS for the night. If you have visited any of the Bear Hugs at EROS or during a regular night, you know it is a unique San Francisco treat, but for B'EROS we are offering a special lower price of $17 for IBR registrants, a food spread, and lots and lots of towels.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EROS has 3 large play spaces, ample porn in two video pits, safe sex supplies with lube always within easy reach, a large European Steam Room, a dry sauna, showers, locker room and a comfortable lounge with an art gallery.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We also offer some of the best professional, non sexual massages by licensed practitioners.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EROS is routinely acknowledged as the premiere sex club in San Francisco, with a history of awards and a focus on education, fun and safe sex.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As nearly always, 18+ and all are regular members and visitors are welcome.

      <title>Thursday SPUNK at EROS</title>
      <link>http://erossf.tribe.net/thread/e2e20133-6e77-470b-b804-f6fdd1addf52</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Spunk at EROS tonight
&lt;br/&gt;Every Thursday, EROS has Spunk, 18-29 year olds always get a special $10 membership lasting 8 months (twice as long as our regular memberships) and with that card, you get in for just $8 bucks on Thursdays (and other times that are emailed to the spunk members). So, membership and entry on Thursdays is less than a day pass, and saves you nearly 50% on entry every Thursday.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Special music, hot videos, even hotter guys.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EROS is at 2051 Market Street in SF. If you don't know what it is, look it up and check it out.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Yeh, and I may be there tonight ; )
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EROS is always open to 18 + guys.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Just getting the word out ;)&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>New Resource to be Released on Thanksgiving</title>
      <link>http://erossf.tribe.net/thread/33b8af64-5c46-4077-a70e-f7e88f584380</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;EROS Releases New Gay Sex Resource at Annual Member Appreciation Day
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;SAN FRANCISCO – The venerable and popular safe sex club, EROS at 2051 Market Street in San Francisco, is celebrating their 15th Anniversary by rolling out a new back pocket guide to gay sexual health.  The postcard size resource was developed during the summer, utilizing an intern from Antioch College who is a graduate of the SF Sex Information training.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In recent years, EROS has relied upon educational and health marketing from community partners, such as STOP AIDS Project,  SF Department of Public Health, and the SF AIDS Foundation.  “We’ll continue to use those resources,” said Ken Rowe, Director of Community Relations and Education at EROS, “but after 15 years, we’ve heard some specific questions come up over and over again, and we wanted to address them.”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Owing a lot to previous grass roots efforts such as those from the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgences, STOP AIDS Project, and St. James Infirmary this new resource brings the focus of self care back to basics.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The card is entitled “A Safer Sex Guide for Gay Men” and specifically covers “Be Good to Your Body”, “Know Your Boundaries”, “Get Tested and Communicate”, “Protect Yourself and Play Safe” and specifically covers Safe Sex when visiting a sex club.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Besides being distributed to everyone coming in on their Thanksgiving Day Members Appreciation Day, the card will be distributed at EROS, throughout the community and on a new section of the www.erossf.com website.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EROS Factoid
&lt;br/&gt;Since January 2007, over 1000 copies of the 8 page booklet “Safer Sex for Transguys” have been distributed by Trannywood Pictures, a project of EROS – the Center for Safe Sex which can be viewed at www.trannywoodpictures.com.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Gender and Eros question</title>
      <link>http://erossf.tribe.net/thread/a1cd8599-939d-40fe-8b9f-d88a6f6c0088</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I see that All Queers Eve will welcome all genders. Cool!!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What are the gender restrictions at other times?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Male only? As defined by what? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Where do trans folk fit? FTM or MTF?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hugs,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Rig Daddy

&lt;br/&gt;private party on Halloween.  This year's theme is "All Queers
&lt;br/&gt;Eve"..it's not a costume party, it's not a dungeon party, it is a sex
&lt;br/&gt;party for all genders, 18+, in a safe and sober place.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Payment
&lt;br/&gt;Admission to the party is $17 if you prepay or $20 at the door.

&lt;br/&gt;through allqueerseve@gmail.com by October 23 to work out other payment

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please be aware that this is a queer party that is open to people of

&lt;br/&gt;Before the party starts, we are planning on shooting a lube wrestling
&lt;br/&gt;scene for a Trannywood Gone Wild dvd.  If you would like to be part of
&lt;br/&gt;this shoot, please contact admin@erossf.com.  Two forms of government
&lt;br/&gt;issued IDs are required and the signing of a model release form. 
&lt;br/&gt;Besides getting into the party for free, a small stipend is provided.
&lt;br/&gt; All genders and bodies are welcome, though for the initial scene, we
&lt;br/&gt;will be focused on trans men and non trans men.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Location
&lt;br/&gt;The All Queers Eve party is located at EROS, 2051 Market Street in San
&lt;br/&gt;Francisco.  It's Halloween, so consider public transportation or
&lt;br/&gt;carpooling.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks for Playing :)

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We want to keep this a safe and accepting party, so check with us

      <title>Winter special nights?</title>
      <link>http://erossf.tribe.net/thread/64547ce1-59b9-407d-93ed-5019a70cbb76</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Any ideas?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We are beginning to look at possible special events, for discounted entries during the Winter months at EROS.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We are probably beginning quarterly bear nights.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What else are folks interested in?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm thinking a monthly motorcycle night, bring in AMA, club colors or a helmet for a discount entry that night.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We've gotten requests for a Daddyhunt night, or 50+ night (often requested by young guys looking for older)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm kinda avoiding gym night, because that's kinda cliche at a sex club.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Maybe jock night though?  
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;EROS is proud to showcase Mr. Bandit's current work in 5-photo sets, each approximately 8 x 10 inches. The current show includes two series, one is what we call "Tool Belts." The other is his first foray into Bike Porn, not the Tom of Finland type, but the San Francisco genderqueer messenger type.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Micca Bandit was born in San Jose and has spent the majority of his life in the Bay Area. Growing up in an impoverished family, going from shelter to shelter, he learned to appreciate the details in life; the small complex elements that make situations more than just beautiful, but poetic like his own story. His work focuses on these tiny beauties. Found moments of chaos, in moments of passion, and in moments of silence.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Be sure to check out his photos as they may change over the course of the run.

&lt;br/&gt;Indulge day spa at EROS - for gay men
&lt;br/&gt;Tuesday &amp;amp; Thursday
&lt;br/&gt;11 am - 4pm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;   Eros is open early as indulge day spa; a slightly different approach. Relax, refresh, restore in a sex friendly atmosphere
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Facility is well known for its large Mediterranean tiled shower room, expansive European steam room, and 2-tiered dry sauna. The luxurious lounge includes leather sofas surrounded by contemporary erotic art exhibits. Indulge spa staff include the professional, licensed massage practitioners from the EROS Massage Studio. Hot stone massage and other special spa treatments are be offered as part of any Indulge Massage Package. A lounge package is also available for those not interested in massage.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Indulge day spa adds more touches to the experience with herbal teas, fruit infused water and other spa touches such as robes for massage packages and sandals.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;What makes Indulge Spa unique is it is located in San Francisco's premiere gay men's sex club. Club hours begin at 4 pm and EROS welcomes Indulge patrons to stay at no additional cost.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;EROS continues as the hot San Francisco sex club, but now indulge brings a unique San Francisco twist on day spas for men. Indulge is for the man who enjoys lounging naked and those interested in casual interactions and play with others in a relaxed setting.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;   Come and check out both our club time and spa time!
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Note: there will be no indulge spa hours during our special Pride week hours.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Spring Special – 50% off any massage that is booked at the 12:30 slot.  Reservation or walk ins welcome.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;AHP Rapid Testing
&lt;br/&gt;EROS now has AIDS Health Project - Rapid Testing referral cards for HIV Testing at sites a block from EROS and in the Castro area. Be sure to ask a staff person for the Rapid Testing card on the way in or out of the Club.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Rapid Testing means that you will get your HIV results at the end of your walk-in session, instead of coming back in one week. This type of testing option works well for discouraged folks who may not test at all because of the traditional extra step involved for their results, and for folks with schedules that may not allow a return visit for results at the times available.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;   Play Safe, Stay Safe, Test Often
&lt;br/&gt;  In addition to the AHP Rapid Testing, EROS suggests using
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;    * San Francisco City Clinic www.dph.sf.ca.us/sfcityclinic,
&lt;br/&gt;    * Magnet offers evening testing www.magnetsf.org.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Check www.stdtest.org for information, online testing and other sites.
&lt;br/&gt;    * Pick up information at EROS on where to get Hep. vaccines in SF.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A Note to all our Members:
&lt;br/&gt;We have the same great lube available for take home that we provide in our play spaces. Choose from the huge 17.6 oz ID pump bottle for only $20, or the 9.5 oz bottle for just $12.00.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;We also have available the super stretchy cock rings we introduced a few months ago. Priced at 2 for $7, it is quite the bargain.  By the end of the month, we will be back to the single cock rings at $5.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;So many of our guests have been pleased with the disposable sandals that we decided to continue offering them for just $3 a pair.
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>What's been happening at EROS?</title>
      <link>http://erossf.tribe.net/thread/d1502be2-88d7-4e3c-b7e6-fe9bec7e1597</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;A lot!  April marks the 15th Anniversary of this unique safe sex club on Market Street in San Francisco.  Staff, managers, owners and friends have been reflecting on the club was born and how it has grown.  Be sure to look for our special anniversary logo around town.  We are now advertising on news racks (look around Church and Market for our new one), at the 3 Dollar Bill Café at SF LGBT Center, and in the programs of art and cultural groups like the Gay Men’s Chorus.  
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;All those are high visibility areas for EROS, but we aren’t stopping there.  We are sponsoring a team in the Gay Softball League, we are a co-presenter of the Queer Arts Festival during June, our Executive Director is now on the Steering Committee of the Merchants of Upper Market and Castro, our Operations and Community Relations Director is co-Chair of the Community Partners for the STD Division of the Department of Pubic Health, and also serves on the Trans March Steering Committee during Pride.  
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;This past year we’ve continued to make improvements to the club, and more are on the way. Much of our focus has been indulge day spa related, and that energy has spilled over to our massage studio and Club EROS.  Our massage rooms have been remodeled and we are expanding our hot water capacity and other amenities.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;The unique look and feel of EROS has been used by a number of porn companies in the last year, from Cyberbears to Colt and from Pantheon to Raging Stallions.  We’ve also helped develop Trannywood Pictures, which fills an important and growing niche for hot safe sex and porn that includes trans men.  We expect to launch another porn concept during this anniversary year that focuses on hot safe sex in the broader gay men’s community.  Our first film, “Cubbyholes: Trans Men in Action” was released earlier this year to rave reviews and has been screened or will be screened at the Forge Forward Film Festival in Milwaukee, the Queer Film Festival at the University of Oregon in Eugene, and the Transgender Film Festival in the Netherlands.  It can be purchased at many of the clean well lit sex shops around the country, like Babeland, Early to Bed, Tulip and Smitten Kitten as well as at EROS.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;EROS continues to be used as a cultural and community center with groups using our class room and our art gallery hosting new and exciting erotic works from Morris Taylor’s water colors to our next show of Micca Bandit’s punk inspired photography.  Our monthly open mic, Re-Tool and Grind continues to make a mark for itself and the BBC just filmed a segment in our lounge with Stephen Fry and a number of our regulars for a documentary on community responses to HIV/AIDS.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Besides all the above, this anniversary year, EROS is also launching an internship program and partnering with the Center for Sex and Culture and EROS’s founder, Buzz Bense, on a series of publications and events around the formation of EROS and the sex positive communities in San Francisco.  
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Added Value during the EROS at 15 year included an additional Member Appreciation Day on Wednesday, April 25, where members get in free and the Gold 12-month memberships are only $15 for a full year rather than $20.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;EROS is located at 2051 Market Street, between Delores and Church.  www.erossf.com.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;The Heat is On ....Folsom and Beyond 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Note to Members:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EROS now has the same great lube available to take home that we have in our play spaces. We have the huge 17.6 oz ID pump for only $20 and the 9.5 oz bottle for just $12.00. We continue to have the super stretchy cock rings that we introduced a few months ago for just $5 each.    We have reissued the hot “bite” t-shirts and have them in lots of sizes...only $15 each.

&lt;br/&gt;EROS Art Gallery New Erotic Works by Kendal Yim
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;“There is beauty in the imperfect, perfection in the raw, intricacy in the bare, and strength in the subdued.”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Kendal’s show was shot in the past year, of local men, often referred to as bears. It’s a project that was spawned by the artist=B9s desire to appreciate the natural state of things in the age of digital arts abuse.  He wanted to draw out the special-ness in the seemingly humble, even plain, sometimes rough.  The show was shot with no man made light, no digital retouching and no fancy cameras.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Kendal is an advertising guy who is also a seasoned painter of 10 years.  This is his first photo exhibition.  For info on his work, becoming a model
&lt;br/&gt;or purchasing a print, contact him at humanbition@usa.net.

&lt;br/&gt;Re-Tool &amp;amp; Grind: FTM and Friends Open Mic
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Wednesday, October 4, November 1
&lt;br/&gt;7-8:30 pm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The hot, sultry, (and sometimes wholesome) open stage for FTMs (female to male transgender/transsexuals) and friends is back, now on the FIRST Wednesday of every month at 7pm. What better place for hot queer performance than in the lounge of the local bathhouse on the dangerous outskirts of the Castro? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Red and Cole promise an impressive slate of belly dancing, dirty dancing, porno, guitars, fine literature, fine smut, spoken word, performance, storytelling, queers in towels, and anything else you need. ALL genders and sexualities 18 and over are encouraged to attend and perform.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Retool and Grind is actively seeking performers and speakers with presentations of a more sultry nature to participate in SF’s newest and most exciting spoken word event. Let us know if you’re interested!
&lt;br/&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;AHP Rapid Testing
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EROS now has AIDS Health Project - Rapid Testing referral cards for HIV Testing at sites a block from EROS and in the Castro area. Be sure to ask a staff person for the Rapid Testing card on the way in or out of the Club.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Rapid Testing means that you will get your HIV results at the end of your walk-in session, instead of coming back in one week.  This type of testing option works well for discouraged folks who may not test at all because of the traditional extra step involved for their results, and for folks with schedules that may not allow a return visit for results at the times available.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Play Safe, Stay Safe, Test Often
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; In addition to the AHP Rapid Testing, EROS suggests using San Francisco City Clinic &amp;amp;lt;www.dph.sf.ca.us/sfcityclinic&gt;, and evening testing offered at Magnet &amp;amp;lt;www.magnetsf.org&gt;. Also, check out &amp;amp;lt;www.stdtest.org&gt; for information, online testing and other sites.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Pick up information at EROS on where to get Hep. vaccines in SF.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The format includes a moderated group discussion plus time for general group interaction, giving you a hands-on opportunity to interact directly with the other guys who attend.  Walk-ins are always invited to join in. EROS members and guests included!
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;SPUNK! YM4YM
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Every Thursday
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What can we say ... It can be unrefined and crude, tender and kind or both!  It’s a night that’s a little experimental, definitely different. Break in
&lt;br/&gt;the weekend gently at SPUNK!’s the place to be on Thursdays. The music’s always hot and the videos are spanking new.  SPUNK! night is always changing and improving. We want your input to keep it fresh!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Everyone’s welcome on SPUNK! nights, but adding to the unusual mix, guys ages 18-29 pay a meager $8 for 8 hours of fun when they come in with their special 8-month SPUNK! Membership, the card that just seems to keep on giving.

      <title>Upcoming Thursday Events - from Cocksucking to Art</title>
      <link>http://erossf.tribe.net/thread/40b78d3f-994b-4baf-aacf-dba8f797d2eb</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;How to Have a Cocksucking Good Time
&lt;br/&gt;May 25, Thursday
&lt;br/&gt;7-8:30 pm
&lt;br/&gt;Classroom
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Can you believe that some people don’t like giving head.  How on earth is that possible?  Maybe they think sucking cock is degrading, or maybe they don’t know how.   In this workshop, we will let our tongues do the talking.  By using their hands and mouths, participants will be guided through the fine art of cocksucking (by a straight woman!)  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Bring a boyfriend (if not shy), dicks and bananas will be available for practice.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Often compared to Margaret Cho and Karen from Will &amp;amp; Grace, Mistress Cat is a long time ally of the gay community.  She works for Bay Area Young Positives and as an off-site sex educator for Good Vibrations and the Center for Sex and Culture.

      <title>March Mayhem - EROS newsletter</title>
      <link>http://erossf.tribe.net/thread/e228bbbb-ef23-4d56-87ae-a88ac922a3f7</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;EROS Online e-newsletter 
&lt;br/&gt;March Mayhem 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Special Note to Members:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Enough of the March Madness...let’s move to March Mayhem.  We have a bunch of new events at EROS this month, including a new art show by Jim Gravely with incredibly seductive nude men.  The recently formed Poly Gay/Bi Men’s group is moving from the LGBT Center to EROS for their monthly event, and the Gay Men’s Community Initiative is starting a new group at EROS, “Sex Talk”.  It’s going to be a hot month, that’s for sure.  Added to all that, the SF boys Of Leather return to EROS for their every other month public demo/discussion, the Ring continues every other week, Re-Tool &amp;amp; Grind (our FTM &amp;amp; Friends open mic) continues.  Thanks to all who helped with our periodic demographic and marketing survey.  We plan on future surveys to help define programming and special events.  Look for those soon.  You guys are the reason EROS is the fantastic space to meet hot men, explore new interests, and support community.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ken for the whole EROS Team
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EROS Art Gallery
&lt;br/&gt;New Show – Nudes by Jim 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EROS is proud to premiere the seductive photography of Jim Gravely.  Jim is new to the field of male nude photography.  Inspired by a chance meeting with Klaus Gerhardt he picked up the camera at the urging of a friend and started taking black and white photographs.  
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;The men he photographs are the average man on the street type.  Usually photographing outdoors he uses natural light and backgrounds to create a union with nature.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;His philosophy in photography is to capture the essence of the subject.  Seeing how far he can push the envelope and yet create a feeling of unity with nature is another goal.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The exhibit will show from Mid March through May.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sex Talk
&lt;br/&gt;March 14
&lt;br/&gt;6:30-8:30 pm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Real chat not virtual
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Real men, real stories
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Men attending Sex Talk are invited to engage in conversations about man-to-man sex that's stimulating, interesting, provocative, informative, erotically charged, challenging,  empowering and enjoyable. Men are encouraged to bring their own stuff to Sex Talk in regards to the reality of their sex life and their fantasies.  Sponsored by EROS and the SF Gay Men’s Community Initiative.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The second meeting of the Poly Gay Men's Group is happening at EROS on Saturday, March 18.  It’s for guys, bio or trans, who are in polyamorous relationship(s) or want to be.  Guys who may or may not feel isolated from the gay/bi/queer communities.   
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Re-Tool &amp;amp; Grind: FTM and Friends Open Mic
&lt;br/&gt;Wednesday, April 5
&lt;br/&gt;7-8:30 pm
&lt;br/&gt;The hot, sultry, (and sometimes wholesome) open stage for FTMs (female to male transgender/transsexuals) and friends is back, now on the FIRST Wednesday of every month at 7pm. What better place for hot queer performance than in the lounge of the local bathhouse on the dangerous outskirts of the Castro? Red and Cole promise an impressive slate of belly dancing, dirty dancing, porno, guitars, fine literature, fine smut, spoken word, performance, storytelling, queers in towels, and anything else you need. ALL genders and sexualities 18 and over are encouraged to attend and perform.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Retool and Grind is actively seeking performers and speakers with presentations of a more sultry nature to participate in SF’s newest and most exciting spoken word event. Let us know if you’re interested!

&lt;br/&gt;San Francisco boys Of Leather
&lt;br/&gt;Pain Pigs
&lt;br/&gt;Tuesday, March 21
&lt;br/&gt;7:30-9:00 pm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The SF boys Of Leather return to EROS for their every other month public demo/discussion event.  The last two, on Fisting and Daddies, Masters and Sirs were capacity attendance so come early if you want a seat.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The SF boys of Leather provide a safe arena to empower self-identified boys of leather in serving the greater leather community, increasing the visibility of leather boys, and educating others in what it means to be a boy of leather. Through service and fun, we will support each other and our community.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We define the term leather boy as broadly as possible, without regard to gender, appearance or sexual orientation. we come together in our common devotion to service and dedication to the leather community.  For more info www.sfbol.org
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;AHP Rapid Testing
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EROS now has AIDS Health Project - Rapid Testing referral cards for HIV Testing at sites a block from EROS and in the Castro area. Be sure to ask a staff person for the Rapid Testing card on the way in or out of the Club.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Rapid Testing means that you will get your HIV results at the end of your walk-in session, instead of coming back in one week.  This type of testing option works well for discouraged folks who may not test at all because of the traditional extra step involved for their results, and for folks with schedules that may not allow a return visit for results at the times available. 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Play Safe, Stay Safe, Test Often
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In addition to the AHP Rapid Testing, EROS suggests using San Francisco City Clinic &amp;amp;lt;www.dph.sf.ca.us/sfcityclinic&gt;, and evening testing offered at Magnet &amp;amp;lt;www.magnetsf.org&gt;. Also, check out &amp;amp;lt;www.stdtest.org&gt; for information, online testing and other sites.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Pick up information at EROS on where to get Hep. vaccines in SF.   
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;The Ring
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2nd and 4th Monday 
&lt;br/&gt;The Ring is a men’s group for gay and bisexual men focusing on education and skills around bondage and discipline. The Ring holds their workshops at Eros twice a month at 7 pm. The second Monday of each month is Bondage Night. Men can see expert demos and get hands-on group practice in an informal and safe setting.  The fourth Monday of each month is Discussion Night. These workshops give you a chance to meet guys who share a particular interest. The format includes a moderated group discussion plus time for general group interaction, giving you a hands-on opportunity to interact directly with the other guys who attend.  Walk-ins are always invited to join in. EROS members and guests included! 
&lt;br/&gt;. 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;SPUNK! YM4YM Every Thursday 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What can we say ... It can be unrefined and crude, tender and kind…or both!  It’s a night that’s a little experimental, definitely different. Break in the weekend gently at SPUNK!—the place to be on Thursdays. The music’s always hot and the videos are spanking new.  SPUNK! night is always changing and improving. We want your input to keep it fresh! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Everyone’s welcome on SPUNK! nights, but adding to the unusual mix, guys ages 18-29 pay a meager $8 for 8 hours of fun when they come in with their special 8-month SPUNK! Membership, the card that just seems to keep on giving.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EROS Is Open 7 Days A Week 
&lt;br/&gt;Saturday 2 pm to 4 am
&lt;br/&gt;Sunday 2 pm to Midnight
&lt;br/&gt;Monday-Thursday 4 pm to Midnight
&lt;br/&gt;Friday 4 pm to 4 am

      <description>&lt;div&gt;The end of Rev. Michel St. Germain's fabu exhibit at Eros nears, and now it's time for a party! Come enjoy some photos, and lounge on plush leather couches, and help  celebrate the end of another solo show.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Details:
&lt;br/&gt;When - Monday, 20 February,from 7:00-8:30
&lt;br/&gt;Where - EROS (2051 Market Street @ Church - 415.255-4921
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.erossf.com/)
&lt;br/&gt;What - This exhibit focuses on male-born subjects who represent a wide variety of gender, and it is set in the lobby of a fabulous men's club. For those of you who would not normally be comfortable/able to attend a show in a men's sex club, this reception is your only chance to view this show without fear of seeing more than you bargained for. If you bargain to see more you can always patronize the club after the show, as they'd love that!

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Special Note to Members:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2006 Resolution: More Hot Sex – if you know someone that might have that as a resolution, invite them to our first orientation/skills event, Hot Men-White Towels, on Thursday, January 26.  On Tuesday, January 24, EROS welcomes the SF boys of Leather back to our space with a great panel DADDIES, MASTERS, AND SIRS, Oh My!  Both events have more info listed below.  We also will be launching a marketing and demographic survey the end of the month.  I hope you will take a moment when in the club to fill it out, it’s a great way for EROS to better meet the needs of our members and find ways to reach out to guys who haven’t yet experienced all that EROS has to offer.  Hope to see you soon!
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;DADDIES, MASTERS, AND SIRS, Oh My!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Tuesday, January 24
&lt;br/&gt;7:30- 9 pm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This will be a one of a kind event with a panel of Hot Tops telling All about:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * What they look for in a boy
&lt;br/&gt;    * What makes them hard about having a boy
&lt;br/&gt;    * Types of training, duties, service, and that they like
&lt;br/&gt;    * What having a boy means to them
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Each panelist will take questions from the audience (pencils and cards will be available for shy boys).
&lt;br/&gt;This promises to be an incredible opportunity to find out more about what it takes to find a Daddy, Master
&lt;br/&gt;or Sir and what they are looking for in you. So if you are looking for a Top to serve (or to improve your
&lt;br/&gt;service to your Top) come to the Eros classroom on January 24th and get your questions answered by this
&lt;br/&gt;experienced and (did I mention "Hot") panel of Daddies, Masters and Sirs
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This event is open to all that identify as a boy! boys are also welcome to invite the one they serve. Cost
&lt;br/&gt;for the event is $1.00. No one turned away for lack of funds.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is an San Francisco boys Of Leather sponsored event.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Michel St. Germain: portraits of my fave San Francisco celebutantes
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Reverend Michel St. Germain is a bay area native who has spent the past few years scurrying around his beloved San Francisco (and recently into the East Bay as well) documenting the Bohemian performance cultures that inspire him. His photographic adventures have been both big and small and have seen him photographing things one might expect (i.e. rock bands, politicians, public events, etc.*) but they have also given him amazing experiences with fire dancers, machete climbers, butoh artists, and illusionists that would easily fill the pages of an enthralling children's tale about running away to the circus! The new century has been a playground of wonders and a muse for Reverend Michel, and he has photographed it with the diligence of someone trying to preserve the magic of moments in time for all to see.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Wednesday, February 1

&lt;br/&gt;The hot, sultry, (and sometimes wholesome) open stage for FTMs (female to male transgender/transsexuals) and friends is back, now on the FIRST Wednesday of every month at 7pm. What better place for hot queer performance than in the lounge of the local bathhouse on the dangerous outskirts of the Castro? Red and Cole promise an impressive slate of belly dancing, dirty dancing, porno, guitars, fine literature, fine smut, spoken word, performance, storytelling, queers in towels, and anything else you need. ALL genders and sexualities 18 and over are encouraged to attend and perform.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Retool and Grind is actively seeking performers and speakers with presentations of a more sultry nature to participate in SF’s newest and most exciting spoken word event. Let us know if you’re interested!

&lt;br/&gt;AHP Rapid Testing
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EROS now has AIDS Health Project - Rapid Testing referral cards for HIV Testing at sites a block from EROS and in the Castro area. Be sure to ask a staff person for the Rapid Testing card on the way in or out of the Club.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Rapid Testing means that you will get your HIV results at the end of your walk-in session, instead of coming back in one week.  This type of testing option works well for discouraged folks who may not test at all because of the traditional extra step involved for their results, and for folks with schedules that may not allow a return visit for results at the times available. 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------
&lt;br/&gt;Play Safe, Stay Safe, Test Often
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In addition to the AHP Rapid Testing, EROS suggests using San Francisco City Clinic &amp;amp;lt;http://www.dph.sf.ca.us/sfcityclinic/&gt;, and evening testing offered at Magnet &amp;amp;lt;www.magnetsf.org&gt;. Also, check out &amp;amp;lt;www.stdtest.org&gt; for information, online testing and other sites.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Pick up information at EROS on where to get Hep. vaccines in SF.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What can we say ... It can be unrefined and crude, tender and kind…or both!  It’s a night that’s a little experimental, definitely different. Break in the weekend gently at SPUNK!—the place to be on Thursdays. The music’s always hot and the videos are spanking new.  SPUNK! night is always changing and improving. We want your input to keep it fresh! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Everyone’s welcome on SPUNK! nights, but adding to the unusual mix, guys ages 18-29 pay a meager $8 for 8 hours of fun when they come in with their special 8-month SPUNK! Membership, the card that just seems to keep on giving.

      <link>http://erossf.tribe.net/thread/df9b4389-51a7-4292-a7cc-de45a3b54704</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;DADDIES, MASTERS, AND SIRS, Oh My!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;At Eros on January 24th, Tuesday from 7:30 to 9:00 PM.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This will be a one of a kind event with a panel of Hot Tops telling All about:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * What they look for in a boy
&lt;br/&gt;    * What makes them hard about having a boy
&lt;br/&gt;    * Types of training, duties, service, and that they like
&lt;br/&gt;    * What having a boy means to them
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Each panelist will take questions from the audience (pencils and cards will be available for shy boys).
&lt;br/&gt;This promises to be an incredible opportunity to find out more about what it takes to find a Daddy, Master
&lt;br/&gt;or Sir and what they are looking for in you. So if you are looking for a Top to serve (or to improve your
&lt;br/&gt;service to your Top) come to the Eros classroom on January 24th and get your questions answered by this
&lt;br/&gt;experienced and (did I mention "Hot") panel of Daddies, Masters and Sirs
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This event is open to all that identify as a boy! boys are also welcome to invite the one they serve. Cost
&lt;br/&gt;for the event is $1.00. No one turned away for lack of funds.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Relax This Holiday Season
&lt;br/&gt;(yes, we have gift certificates) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Special Member Note:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We’ve been busy shaking things up and trying to figure out how EROS can make your December twinkle.  It’s been exciting having our shower room featured in the hot [2] magazine which features the steamiest couples around (see below for more info).  We also just saw Raging Stallions do a video and print shoot in shower area.  We have finished the first rounds of our locker room renovation and were happy to have Falcon Studios take advantage of the space last month for some sexy jock action.  This week sees the return of the STOP AIDS Project utilizing our classroom space for SM 101 (see info below).  The EROS Massage Studio has been busy during this chilly season, but there are often times available for walk ins and reservations (gift certificates are available for those naughty and nice on your gift lists).  I almost forgot, we are beginning to introduce some requested items, such as non-alcohol mouthwash, in addition to Scope, and Purell hand sanitizer.  We hope to roll out another item right before the holidays, so keep a look out when you visit EROS.  
&lt;br/&gt;Hope to see you soon,
&lt;br/&gt;Ken, for the whole EROS Team
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;EROS: Extreme Sex Ed
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Jeff Compasso’s Photos Return to EROS to Benefit SF Gay Men’s Community Initiative
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Photographer Jeff Compasso returns to the EROS Gallery with a new collection of photos showcasing his passion for capturing the pure and simple beauty of the nude human form in dramatic, black &amp;amp; white photography. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Artist's reception/fundraiser for Jeff Compasso at EROS on Friday, September 16th from 7 to 9 pm. Anyone who donates ten dollars or more will receive a Jeff Compasso print, which Jeff will be available to sign. Donate $20 and get two prints!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;“There’s no better way than spending my waking hours by surrounding myself with beauty, playing with that beauty, and creating something new to share with the world! Photography is a wonderful creative outlet for my artistic _expression. It allows me to capture the beauty I see in the world around me everyday and make it my own. Working with nude models can be both challenging and rewarding. It is very rewarding to me to be able to capture a beautiful shot of someone and see their elated reaction to the print. It’s this beauty and elation that I want to share with my community.”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The San Francisco Gay Men’s Community Initiative (SFGMCI) is a socially activist organization of San Francisco queer men. The Initiative is helping to bring the many different communities of gay men (especially men who have a disconnect with other gay men or need some new ways to enjoy other men’s company) together in an effort to create a healthier, more caring, more responsible, more interesting, more diverse, more sexy and fun gay men’s San Francisco. SFGMCI’s website can be found at www.isparksf.com.

On this monthly evening, Manhunt members who also have an EROS membership receive a free entry to EROS. Manhunt.net members should look for their tantalizing email invite, print it out and bring it to EROS to get in for free. Don’t forget to ask the friendly EROS staff for your special Manhunt.net gift, like t-shirts, tanks, and even towels (for cum or other spills.) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;SPUNK! YM4YM Every Thursday
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What can we say ... It can be unrefined and crude, tender and kind…or both!  It’s a night that’s a little experimental, definitely different. Break in the weekend gently at SPUNK!—the place to be on Thursdays. The music’s always hot and the videos are spanking new.  SPUNK! night is always changing and improving. We want your input to keep it fresh! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Everyone’s welcome on SPUNK! nights, but adding to the unusual mix, guys ages 18-29 pay a meager $8 for 8 hours of fun when they come in with their special 8-month SPUNK! Membership, the card that just seems to keep on giving.  
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Intro to Sex Clubs 101
&lt;br/&gt;Thursday, Sept 15
&lt;br/&gt;7-8 pm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Being in sex clubs can sometimes be stressful and aggravating when we can’t find what we want. From etiquette and attitude to do’s and don’ts, learn from other guys about how you can have a positive, sexy, and smooth experience in a public sex club. This popular workshop has been moved from our classroom to our big, plush lounge so more guys can interact and practice.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;EROS Massage Studio 
&lt;br/&gt;Gonzalo Landeros has trained in the Bay Area and works at a prestigious spa in Napa Valley in addition to EROS Massage Studio. His clients have described his hands as “silky”, his touch as “intuitive” and the experience “unforgettable”.  Gonzalo can offer you bliss in the form of a Shiatsu, Swedish, Deep Tissue or Aromatherapy massage.  He blends his own massage oils for his Aromatherapy sessions.  Gonzalo works at EROS on Sundays and Wednesdays. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is best to schedule appointments after 3 PM, by calling 415-255-4921.
&lt;br/&gt;Remember, EROS Massages are sensual and non-sexual. 
&lt;br/&gt;Gift Certificates are available.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Suggestions for Support of Katrina Relief
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The AIDS community is no stranger in being left behind by our government. Survivors of Hurricane Katrina who are also living with 
&lt;br/&gt;HIV face enormous challenges to stay alive and to get back on their feet. Many of the evacuees will likely have to remain wherever they've landed for a long time. If you would like to direct your cash donations to where the needs are the greatest, the following two AIDS community agencies are on the front lines of the relief effort. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In Louisiana:
&lt;br/&gt;The Executive Director of Acadiana C.A.R.E.S. is a co-chair on the Louisiana AIDS Advocacy Network, along with the ED of the New Orleans AIDS Task Force. Your donation will help them provide immediate food, medication, housing, and other services for evacuees. This coalition will also head up the coordination of services in the long run for the hardest hit state. 
&lt;br/&gt;Make your check payable to: Acadiana C.A.R.E.S.
&lt;br/&gt;Mailing address:
&lt;br/&gt;Acadiana C.A.R.E.S.
&lt;br/&gt;Atten. Claude Martin, Executive Director
&lt;br/&gt;P.O.Box 3865
&lt;br/&gt;Lafayette, LA 70502
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In Texas:
&lt;br/&gt;The Montrose Clinic is working with evacuees in Houston at the Astro Dome and other centers, where the neediest survivors have been transported. They are providing rapid HIV testing to quickly determine eligibility for programs, as well as providing housing and other essential services, particularly for the LGBT population facing harassment in the shelters. 
&lt;br/&gt;You can donate on-line to the Montrose Clinic at 
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.montroseclinic.org/   
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Or send a check payable to: Montrose Clinic

Jeffrey’s work will take you by surprise.

Look for major changes in SPUNK as we celebrate the first year of this special night.

What better place for hot queer performance than in the lounge of the local bathhouse on the dangerous outskirts of the Castro?

ALL genders and sexualities 18 and over are encouraged to attend and perform.
