Introducing ….
PLEASURE SALON
presented by
SEX+++ and SWOP-Chicago
1st Tuesdays, 6-10pm
+ Become a fan on Facebook — here’s the Pleasure Salon Facebook Page! Invite all your friends!
Announcing the very first night of Chicago’s new sex-positive meetup! On Tuesday, April 7th between 6 and 10 P.M., come out to Villains — buy a sandwich or a drink — and hang out with Chicago’s sex-positive community. Pleasure Salon, every first Tuesday, will be the place to talk about sex, culture and sexual fun! This event is modeled on New York’s Pleasure Salon, “A Gathering of Sex-Positive Activists”. We want to build networks among all kinds of sex-positive people and create an open exchange of ideas about sex. All are welcome.
Pleasure Salon is hosted by Clarisse Thorn, Serpent Libertine, The Ultimates and Ken Melvoin-Berg, and co-organized with the awesome Pleasure Salon Committee: Cunning Minx, Aspasia Bonasera, Arvan Reese, Ben, and Robyn. We all want you to attend Pleasure Salon — whether you identify as
+ a sexuality activist,
+ a sex worker,
+ a pornographer,
+ LGBTQ,
+ BDSM,
+ a swinger,
+ a polyamory practitioner,
+ a tantric practitioner,
+ a sex educator,
+ a free speech advocate,
+ a progressive pastor,
+ an AIDS worker,
+ a radical feminist,
+ a student,
+ not at all studious,
+ skeptical about our politics and aims,
+ or just someone who likes talking about sex!
Help us create a more sex-positive world!

SO excited for this event. Thanks to all the hosts and I’ll see you there!
Neat. Makes me wish I could attend.
Hi!
My name is Mina Bloom and I’m the Assistant Arts & Culture Editor for the Columbia Chronicle, Columbia College Chicago’s weekly newspaper.
I’d love to write a piece on the Pleasure Salon’s first anniversary at Villain’s tomorrow night. My deadline is Wednesday at 1pm so I’d love to be able to talk to organizers this afternoon or tomorrow morning and then attend your event tomorrow night.
Let me know what you think! I can be reached at hbloom@chroniclemail.com. You can call me at (312) 369-8969 at work and (847) 370-9735 on my cell. I’ll be in my office all day. I hope to hear from you soon!
