Sex Talk @ Eros
"Sex Talk" is a social chat activity for men who have sex with men. Men attending "Sex Talk" are invited to engage in conversations about man-to-man sex that are stimulating, provocative, informative, challenging, and empowering. Men are encouraged to bring their own stuff to "Sex Talk" in regards to the reality of their sex life and their fantasies. "Sex Talk" is all about real chat — not virtual chat. How does cruising work and not work for us? What do we want to be doing sexually but for some reasons are not? What gets people excited? Come tell it like it is!
