I think I found my new home.

Arm(and Hand)-ageddon!
The end is coming! Are you?
Saturday, May 21, 7-10pm -- women and couples
Sunday, May 22, 2-5pm -- men and couples
At CSC, 1349 Mission between 9th and 10th Sts.
You've seen the billboards that advertise the end of the world on May 21 -- well, if they're right this time (and we've been waiting over 2000 years for someone to predict this accurately), what better way to spend your last day than self-pleasuring and raising funds for the Center for Sex & Culture? And if we're all still here on Sunday -- let's all wank in celebration!
This year we're going back to our roots and keeping the Masturbate-a-Thon fairly simple, because we have been so very busy getting moved into the new space. So, no webcasting (though it's possible we'll set up one filming area for exhibitionists so we can show it off later). Also, we won't be keeping track of world records this year; the events are shorter than usual and you 10-hour masturbators can calendar another day this month for home-based solo sexual athletics, and next year we'll get back to the record-holding side of things. Because we don't have quite as much space at our disposal, we are inviting women to attend on Saturday evening (plus couples). (We'll have part of the room blocked off for women only, and those who want to can also mingle with the couples.) On Sunday afternoon, a men-only area will share the room with a men-plus-couples area.
What about trans-identified folks? Please be welcome at either or both! And what about people who aren't in couples, but aren't solo either? We'll consider mixed-gender groups appropriate for the "couples' area" both days.
The Masturbate-a-Thon is one of CSC's major annual fundraisers -- and we certainly do need the funds this year!
There are three ways to participate:
1. Collect pledges from others. Just like at a walk-a-thon or bike-a-thon, this allows you to ask appropriate people in your world to support your efforts. We suggest you request a minimum of $10 per hour, since the event is shorter this year. Get as many pledges as you wish, and then have your pledgers remit the funds to us by June 10.
2.Collect pledges and do the Masturbate-a-Thon at home! The entire month is National Masturbation Month*, so pick a day to celebrate, arrange for one or more supporter to pledge you, and celebrate yourself!
3. Pledge yourself, and come on down to the CSC Live Masturbate-a-Thon on May 21 or 22. The minimum bid for self-pledging is $20.
Remember, the original intent of the Masturbate-a-Thon is to encourage people to talk about masturbation in a positive, non-shame-based way. Asking for pledges supports that mission! Your donors' funds will be tax-deductible to them, since CSC is a non-profit.
*The 'Thon is a central part of National Masturbation Month, which Good Vibrations created in 1995 to protest the firing of then-Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders for saying a brief, sensible thing about masturbation. (Joycelyn Elders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
We can all bring ourselves to rapture, whether or not The Rapture is happening while we do it!
