EROS Releases New Gay Sex Resource at Annual Member Appreciation Day


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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.
