Donation at door ($20 as a guide)

I guess what makes the Byron party so wonderful each year (this is our fourth!) is that everyone is so relaxed being on holiday, no-one has to work the next day, the MEN are tanned and gorgeous, wholesomely recovering from the night before at Tropical Fruits or other New Year’s Eve parties. They come from miles around, last year’s contingent from Brisbane were welcomed and we expect many will again make the trek. For those who yearn for the smaller parties of former times this one does not have the frenetic intensity of the Sydney parties but is laid back hassle free fun. .

There is still some room in the MEN house in Byron after January 3.


Two newsletters at once

We thank those who throw in a donation of more than is expected. At each party many of you guys are very generous at the front door. A bit extra helps keep the finances in order so we send you notification of the two end-of-year parties in the one envelope. One reason is for economy but also from your feedback last year, some were wishing they had known about the Byron Bay arrangements earlier so that they could plan more confidently and make decisions about where they wanna be New Year’s Eve, in Sydney or up north.

Hot yet Warm – David

David

This year saw yet another of our MEN splashed across the front pages of the gay press, this time in Brisbane. David gets down to MEN parties fairly regularly and you may have seen him get his medal for physique at Gay Games or even met him serving drinks or helping out either in Sydney or at one of the Byron New Years’ Day parties, where he will be New Year’s Day. Thank you for your pics.


PEP

MEN is a safe sex party. Whilst we get very few complaints about guys trying to bareback at MEN parties, we do get some, usually guests not yet attuned to the Sydney MEN culture. Accidents can happen, maybe an unfortunate indiscretion. It is important that you be aware of your options in case you think you may have inadvertently exposed yourself to unsafe practice.

The latest brochure from ACON says that PEP is a 4 week course of anti-HIV drugs that may prevent you becoming HIV positive after an exposure to the virus. You don’t have long to act and should see your doctor urgently and definitely within 3 days. It can have unpleasant side effects and can react with other drugs, it is neither a cure nor a vaccine and for more information there is a hot line:

Christmas Boy’s Toy’s – Hand Made, Solid Value

Christmas Rings

One of our network, Rob Holland, hand crafts solid sterling silver, bronze or gold cock rings for sale, in his own great fetish designs of studs, ropes and snakes. Perfect gifts, beautifully weighted and finished, his “Circled Serpents” range come in eight sizes for a comfortably snug fit. Try some on in his Taylor Square studio and you’ll feel and see the differences to mass produced rings.

Rob will personally make your ring to order. If there’s a problem with the sizing, he will replace it provided it is returned within one week after purchase, or for surprise gifts, after Christmas, etc

Solid silver rings are typically $170 to $220 and up to $275 for the largest sizes in the heaviest rope design. Less for bronze, and “a little more” for solid gold……..
