Five Reasons Why San Francisco\u2019s Gay Sex Clubs May Soon Be Extinct<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Eros\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eros, located at 2051 Market Street in San Francisco.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Located on Market Street in San Francisco’s<\/a> Castro neighborhood, Eros<\/a> is one of the city’s last remaining gay<\/a> sex<\/a> clubs. Many an innocent lad has wandered into this two-floor sex<\/a> palace after stumbling out of one of the nearby bars to navigate the dark, maze-like floor plan of bunk beds, massage parlors, and public play areas. A visit to Eros<\/a> is a necessary rite of passage for any sexually-adventurous homosexual residing in (or just visiting) the city by the bay.<\/p>\n

But how is it that the Castro, arguably the gayest neighborhood in the gayest city in the world, a place even rabbits have nothing on, boasts just one solitary gay<\/a> sex<\/a> club?<\/p>\n

In 1984<\/a>, during the height of the AIDS crisis, San Francisco public health officials ordered all gay bathhouses be shutdown<\/a>, claiming the businesses promoted unsafe sex<\/a>. The city’s last bathhouse, 21st Street Baths, closed it’s doors for good in 1987<\/a>. Eros opened a few years later, billing itself as a “sex<\/a> club” rather than a bathhouse. The only real difference was that it didn’t have private cabins, just a series of large rooms where men<\/a> could hookup in semi-public areas. The idea was that there would be less unprotected intercourse than in private cabins. Other gay<\/a> sex<\/a> clubs soon began popping up around the city.<\/p>\n

In the past few years, however, many of San Fran’s most popular clubs have closed their doors, including Mack Folsom Prison, The Brig and Playspace. (The inimitable Blow Buddies<\/a> in the SOMA ‘hood, however, still flourishes.) So what’s the deal? Are sex<\/a> clubs, like bookstores<\/a>, bound for extinction? Why aren’t gay<\/a> men<\/a> frequenting them as often as they used to? And where are they going instead?<\/p>\n

Here are five reasons why San Francisco’s gay<\/a> sex<\/a> clubs may soon be obsolete…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"3c724fb6b28e186547edeef74212e3be\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Darkness by design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of the allure of the gay<\/a> sex<\/a> club has always been the seedy factor. Men go there to engage in anonymous sex<\/a> with one another while other men<\/a> watch. Throw in the fact that the venues, while clean, are intentionally and proudly dungeon-like, with long, winding hallways and blacked-out windows, and we’re talking about a business that caters to a niche market.<\/p>\n

It’s possible younger generations, while certainly equally horny<\/a>, see these places as somehow a vestige of the closeted past, and associate them with STDs. Despite the fact that gay<\/a> sex<\/a> clubs steadfastly promote safe sex<\/a> practices, always keeping bowls of free condoms and water-based lube within arm’s reach, the stigma has apparently put their business models into decline.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

The clientele<\/b><\/p>\n

As most anyone who’s ever set foot inside bathhouse or sex<\/a> club will tell you, the guys<\/a>, at least on certain nights, tend to skew older. Only in a gay<\/a> sex<\/a> club is 50 considered the new 20. Of course, we love older gentlemen<\/a>. But not everyone is looking to get their rocks off in a roomful of sexagenarians. (Though those opposed to it have no idea<\/em> what they’re missing!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"gay-social-media\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hookup apps<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apps like Grindr, Jack’d and SCRUFF<\/a> have revolutionized how we go about finding Mr. Right Now. Once upon a time, gay<\/a> men<\/a> relied on bathhouses and sex<\/a> clubs to meet one another. These days we’re all about efficiency and location, location, location. With just the swipe of a finger, your next paramour can be in your bedroom in five minutes flat. No more driving across town and paying a $20 entrance fee.<\/p>\n

\"Rising-Rent\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Real estate prices<\/strong><\/p>\n

Urban locations across the country, San Francisco in particular, have seen real estate prices skyrocket. Last October, SFGate<\/em> reported<\/a> that residential rentals in the city had increased a whopping 11.9% from the previous year. Businesses, too, have seen their rents go up. This has forced younger gay<\/a> men<\/a>, with lower incomes, to flee to surrounding areas. (Daly City anyone?) With rising monthly costs and a shrinking customer base, it’s no wonder so many gay<\/a> sex<\/a> clubs have been forced to close. Buildings that once served as naked<\/a>, uninhibited playgrounds for countless homosexuals are being converted into luxury lofts, whose high-income residents are blissfully unaware of the naughty things that once took place in their new digs.<\/p>\n

\"Gay-Marriage\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gay marriage<\/strong><\/p>\n

The country has seen huge advances in gay<\/a> rights at a pace that surprises even the most optimistic activists. With a new state striking down its gay<\/a> marriage ban seemingly every other week, gay<\/a> people are exercising their newly acquired rights by tying the knot and settling down. Child adoptions by gay<\/a> parents are also on the rise. The 2000 Census found that approximately 65,000 children lived in same-sex<\/a> households. By 2012, that number had increased to 110,000.<\/p>\n

This begs the question: Are gay<\/a> men<\/a> growing up? Is cruising a thing of the past in a time of marriage and family equality, or is it simply taking on new forms? And if gay<\/a> sex<\/a> clubs do, indeed, go extinct, what, if anything, will take their place?<\/p>\n
