Kok Blocked
Five years to the day after it opened, Kok Bar, previously known as Chaps II, will close on March 30. Co-owner David Morgan, who ran the bar with Steven Abramson, said that the license was expected to transfer to the new owners on April 1.
Kink Tank (NSFW)
While many gay bars in San Francisco have a longstanding reputation for a cruisy atmosphere, including BDSM demonstrations and fetish nights, it’s rare that you’ll happen upon the full-tilt bondage orgies created by Kink.com’s Bound in Public video series.
Goin’ to a Gogo
You’ve seen then nearly naked, and yet you know practically nothing about them. Isn’t it time you learned a little about your friendly neighborhood gogo dancer? Plus: hunting the wild Drunken Panda!
Gogo All the Way
You can enjoy much more than the Full Monty when you see Adam Killian at the Nob Hill Theatre. The hot tattooed porn star returns for his wild X-rated solo and duo shows May 13 and 14.
Cupid’s Bow-ner
Valentine’s Day and related romantic events this month may be enough for lovey-dovey gays. But what about single horndogs looking for lust in all the right places? Fortunately, a variety of slutty events at Bay Area venues offer a frisky feast of options this month.

My Funny Valentine

Leather & Kink Events: September
Here are selected September leather and kink events, and nightclub events related to Folsom Street Fair. Enjoy!
Fair Play
Folsom Street Fair, the largest fetish fair in the world, and one of San Francisco’s biggest annual events, will fill South of Market’s streets with thousands of leather-clad people, and many wearing a lot less, on Sunday September 26. How do organizers manage such a big event?
Laid’s Back
If you’re in the mood to make some new friends and have a good time, you’re in luck: despite a citywide crackdown on bathhouses in the early 80s, San Francisco still boasts a healthy stable of saunas, theaters, and dungeons.
Bi the Way
San Francisco offers bisexuals heading out for a night on the town many entertaining options, with a slight exception, an emerging nightlife scene by and for bisexual and non-monogamous individuals.
Feel the Vibrations
For the sexually creative set, “most sex toys to some degree can be thought of as co-gender,” said Good Vibrations’ resident sexpert Dr. Carol Queen recently about sex toys. And it turns out any couple of any gender or orientation can really use a few.
Spank U.
Most everyone likes a little swat on the ass now and then, to varying degrees. But here in San Francisco, we have the San Francisco Men’s Spanking Party. Spearheaded by Spank Master Bill, the monthly men’s-only parties are an outlet for men to get together who enjoy spanking or being spanked.
Top Dogs:
Leather, Dore, Kink!
Get out your slings and hoods. It’s Dore Alley month! Or rather, Up Your Alley, as it’s now called. Coming each year on the last Sunday of July, Up Your Alley is (or was) San Francisco’s answer to the size and perceived commercialization of the Folsom Street Fair.
