Lastly, as this is the first Invite of the New Year, it seems fitting that we should reprise the following paragraphs on SEXUAL ETIQUETTE
. . . Of course we all enjoy going to the various parties that exist . .
. But there are certain rules of behavior to which we should all
adhere, in order to ensure that everyone has an equally good time . . .
Consider the following 4 suggestions:
1) Taking No for an Answer: Let's face it, no matter how "hot" you may think you are [ or not ], you will
eventually be rejected by someone . . . When that happens it's very
important to respect that guy's wishes, and just leave him alone . . .
Following him around, hoping he'll change his mind, is not only in most
cases futile, but entirely disrespectful . . . Think about it -- if you were the one saying no, you'd want to be left alone, right? . . . Well, it works both ways.
2) Saying No Gracefully:
Most guys I've seen say no to someone at parties [ and I do this myself
as well ] by simply patting a guy's chest a couple of times, smiling
and turning your head away -- they usually get the message . . . There
is clearly no need to be nasty, hostile, insulting, turning your nose
up, scrunching your face, making a noise -- any of that mess . . .
Again, you wouldn't want anyone to treat you like that, so you should
act accordingly . . . And if you get that "pat of rejection," just suck it up and keep walking.
3) Leaving Well Enough Alone:
Sometimes there's nothing hotter than seeing 2 [ or 3, or more ] guys
having a hot scene together -- just watching it can get you off . . .
And for those of us who tend toward the, uh, exhibitionist side,
it's a lotta fun to have a crowd watching . . . But that doesn't mean
you have the right to interrupt them . . . Watching and enjoying, from a
distance, is the perfect way to both respect the guys who're playing,
and still enjoy yourself . . . And if they actually want you to join --
trust me, they'll let you know . . .
4) Lastly, Report It: If you're at any party and you see someone acting, shall we say, dysfunctionally,
you should immediately go to the host of the party [ or one of his
staffguys, if he has any ] and report the guilty party . . . It's not
your job to keep him in line -- it's theirs . . .
Now, the question might be asked, who am EYE to sorta be "laying down the law" like this? . . . Well, next month we at Jacks Of Color will be celebrating Our 24th Anniversary -- 24 years since February 1990! . . . And last year alone, we hosted 87 J.O.C. Parties
[ I know, I just finished counting them ] . . . So, I think I "know
whereof I speak" . . . Of course, Feedback, as always, is Certainly
Appreciated! . . .
Repeating the following FOUR paragraphs -- for the sake of newcomers to the list . . . 1) DEVON, My Web-Master for Our JACKS OF COLOR WEB-SITE, has asked me to remind everyone of the following special situation . . . It seems some of you access the site, only to discover that it hasn't been updated -- well, it has! . . . But it seems that if you access the site through INTERNET EXPLORER or MSN,
you don't get the full complement of features on the site -- and
sometimes, you might even be directed to a previous version of the
site, especially if you have an old bookmark in your browser . . . So
Devon suggests that everyone use MOZILLA FIREFOX to access the site -- for some reason, that's the most complete Internet Server for viewing ALL the features on the site, including the most updated info, PLUS the location info for BOTH "Paddles" and "Chelsea Space" . . . And again, Make A New Bookmark for JACKS OF COLOR immediately, while you're reading this: www.JACKSOFCOLOR.COM . . .
2) "Paddles" has a NEW entrance; the adjacent parking lot has been
closed due to the construction of a high-rise -- so the new
entrance to "Paddles" is DIRECTLY on the side street [ NO LONGER in the
parking lot ] . . . You'll see signage that says "JACKS OF COLOR HERE TONIGHT" -- and if anyone has any problems finding it, call me on my cell at 646/441-7081 . . .
3) A word about "Last Call" -- I never really like the practice of
ending a party by turning on the lights and throwing off the music at
the appointed end of the night, without any warning -- seems to have a
sort of "bum's rush" aspect to it . . . So near the end of every event I
like to make sure that My Staff will announce A 30-Minute "Last Call";
I think You Guys deserve the decency of knowing how long you have to,
uh, "wrap things up"! . . .
And 4) As is our custom, the location of each Jacks Of Color
Party is ALWAYS placed on the club's web-site the day before, under
"Party Notices / News" . . . And if you RSVP you're already on the
list, so even if you don't get a confirmation, feel free to attend
anyway -- just get the location info from the web-site, and be sure to
come before the door closing . . . [ As a rule of thumb, it's always a
good idea to check the web-site before coming anyway, just in case
there's a last-minute change or cancellation -- it happens. ] . . .
Lastly, feel free to call me on my cell -- 646/441-7081 -- during any party, in case you get lost, have to come late, etc. . . .
That Said, Join Us for Our JACKS OF COLOR "MASSAGE-&-PLAY MONDAYS,"And "SATURDAY AFTERNOON And SUNDAY MORNING/AFTERNOON SPECIALS" At "Paddles," And Our JACKS OF COLOR "CHELSEA SUNDAY, WEDNESDAY And THURSDAY SPECIALS" At "Chelsea Space" . . . Should be some Hot Times, with Hot Crowds of Men Of Color "And Their Friends"! -- "Peace," Lustily, LIDELL ;>)
