Hot yet Warm – Ajay

One of the best things to come out of New Zealand in recent times is Ajay. Now living in Sydney, he will be at the June MEN party. It will be mid winter, cold and dark but we will turn the heaters up and Ajay will be there to warm up the party even more than usual. It will be a big weekend so end it all off with some fun at the last MEN party of the season. To get there go down Campbell St from Crown and it is first on the right. There is a long break between now and the next one after Sleaze in the spring.

Inquisition Recovery at the Kirk

The party ended with our sympathies for a panicking party man having to go through ALL the garbage bins to find his house keys which he felt he had left in the bottom of his plastic bag! Please ensure you take everything with you. (Remember the adage: “spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch!”). This was after Bill, Kell, John C, Mikey, Warren, Raymond and Phillip and many others had cleaned up. Earlier someone leaving the Kirk had left the front door ajar … wide enough for two teenagers to wander in and ask “what is going on??!!” (private party mate!), “but I saw naked men in there!” (private party mate!), “is this a SEX party?!?!?” (private party mate!). Close the door next time!!! David M, William D and Raymond looked after bags. Kell, Ivano and Warren bagged and tagged and welcomed newcomers explaining da rools. Brad F, Luther and Phillip manned the front desk with Blair as doorman. Rod did the web page and sent out the emails cos Chris Smyth’s invitation image had provided a suitable starting point for what was an outrageously successful end to the Inquisition season aided by Andy R’s dark and dirty music. Kip, Sebastian and Brett did the bar. Thank you Malcolm for the set up, cleaning and lock up transfer. Mikey, Raymond, Luther, David and Mark, Chris, Theiss, and Warren stuffed the envelopes. Malcolm had constructed again the huge scaffolding which held the sling and Brad F, climbing atop of it gave the introduction speech perched on high just to be sure everyone could hear him. In welcoming regulars and visitors, he reiterated the safe sex philosophy of MEN parties.

Some may tire of the mantra but that’s what mantras are, something that gets said over and over and over again. It is around Inquisition time that we recall the original group of guys who started the whole MEN concept. We are not a group who trumpets the anniversaries, although the 10th last year was indeed a milestone. The story of the beginning of MEN is on the web site and is probably the most asked question new comers pose during cocktail time.

It is neither the number of men at parties nor the length of time that the group continues that marks success but the intangible moments, the sexual peaks when Eros taps you on the shoulder. It is an atmosphere of fantasy, the quality of the men, their friendship, the fun. The bottom line of success is that guys leave parties as healthy as they came in. Condoms and water based lube are the best prevention for HIV. Add personal hygiene and we avoid other infections.

The mantra of gotta get naked, no attitude (defined as say yes enthusiastically, say no politely) and safe sex always is the essence of what we do, of the original vision of a network of hot yet warm friends who look after themselves and who look each other.

Viagra, Cialis and Amyl

Instructions on those pamphlets inside packets of Viagra and Cialis are there for a reason. Used with amyl or any other vasodilator, prescription drugs which maintain your hard-on can lead to collapse from dangerous drops in blood pressure. It gives another perspective to safe sex in that mixing these two can be the most unsafe sex you can have in that you can have a heart attack. It is easy to forget that you’re on tabs when someone passes you a little bottle at a crucial moment. Please be careful.

Byron Bay

Taking risks is our hallmark and the original idea back in 2000 for a party in Byron paid off and it is now a regular part of the calendar. Plans are to build on this and have a MEN “hospitality facility” at the Tropical Fruits Party in Lismore as well! The MEN house is booked and some places are available as in previous years. Email us if you wanna be part of it.

See you Monday 13th June
