Come to a party, and you're a member. All men 18 and over (and we do ask younger men for proof of age) are welcome at Jacks parties. Before you enter the party, we'll ask you to sign a form stating that you understand that the event will involve nudity and sexual activity, and that cock-sucking and anal contact of any kind are not allowed. We don't keep any record of your identity beyond your signature on the sign-in sheet and have no membership list.
YES! as of May 2008 we meet 4 times (up from 3) every month - visit the SCHEDULE PAGE for info about our calendar and options we offer for helping you to keep up with the schedule.
Philly Jacks is an all-volunteer organization, but we've got rent and expenses to pay, so we ask for a ten dollar donation for the parties. Because of rising rents in Center City (our rent has doubled in the last three years!), we ask men who can afford it to pay the full $10 (or more) for each party. (This also means you don't have to carry a membership card around in your wallet all the time!) Any member who wants one can get a Jacks membership card at no additional charge. Our old system is still in place: bring your card to each party you attend and you have the option of getting in for eight dollars. If the suggested donation is a problem for you, please send a message to jacks-owner@philadelphiajacks.com or talk with the money guy at the party and we'll see what we can arrange. Your donations allow us to keep the Jacks going, and help to provide office and work space for organizations fighting for the rights of queers and people with AIDS.
Having the doors open for an hour at the beginning of the party means we get enough men to get the party going right away, and it does start right away! If you don't want to miss any action you should show up as early as possible. If you like to dive in to it after it's going full-steam (or if you're feeling kind of shy or intimidated and want to blend into the crowd a little more) then you might wait 20 minutes or a half-hour. We do let guys who can't get here earlier into the party after the official door-closing, but you're missing a lot of action! Parties usually last about 2 hours.
Our most basic guidelines are; take off your pants, pull out your dick, slap on some lube (if you like lube) and have a great time. Cock-stroking (your own and/or another man's), kissing, massage, nipple-play, rubbing, maybe a little spanking (if you're into that), and anything else that follows our simple rules: There's no oral-genital contact (cock-sucking, ball-licking, etc.), no cum in or around mouths or assholes, and no contact of any kind with anybody's asshole, including your own. The rules are strictly enforced. One of our goals is to provide a space where men of all sexual orientations can enjoy the excitement and energy of group sex without having to worry about sexually-transmitted infections (STIs). Contrary to the rumors, HIV is still a killer, even with all the new drugs, and there are new STIs popping up all the time. There's also just something special about J/O parties that's different from anything-goes sex parties. It's hard to describe what is is; you just gotta come and see for yourself!
All men eighteen and over are welcome at Philadelphia Jacks events, and we get men of all descriptions at our parties. If you're looking for a group where all the men are one type then the Jacks is probably not for you. If you enjoy diversity or are happy just focusing on the guys who are your type in a diverse crowd then we're the ticket. Every party is different, but at most parties the majority of guys are in 30-60 age range, with some younger and older guys. We get a mix of races/ethnicities and physical types. Most importantly; the Jacks men are friendly, relaxed and HORNY!
Parties are really relaxed and friendly with very little attitude. If guys approach you and you're not interested we ask that you be polite (that's part of the no-attitude atmosphere) and just let them know that you're not interested. If you just want to watch at first (or always) just say "thanks, but I just want to watch for a while". If you're playing with a guy or guys and someone else wants to join in and you're not interested just say "no thanks" (and a smile is nice). The play room is very large (20 X 60 feet) so there's plenty of room to be in your own space if that's what you want. "No thanks" usually works just fine. If you get somebody who's really persistent (it's rare but it happens) then gently pushing away unwanted hands (or whatever) is OK too. If he doesn't get the message, try a few polite but forceful words like "Hey, thanks, but I'm really not interested". As long as you're willing to be clear you shouldn't have any problems.
If you see them at a Jacks party, then they're there for exactly the same reason you are; they want to get off. If they're right there in front of you and you don't want them to watch, then you can go to another part of the playroom (it's big! 20 X 60 feet). Remember; they can't dish dirt about you without letting people know that they were at the party too. Relax and enjoy!
There is a clothing check with an attendant, so it's fine to bring your wallet or other valuables. We ask that you at least remove your pants: underwear, towels, jockstraps, leather, and latex gear are all fine. We just don't want guys in street clothes. We provide: lots of naked men with hard cocks, and a playroom with porn videos, couches chairs, massage tables, and areas with more and less light (there are no completely dark areas). We have spring water and snacks; you might want to bring a towel for cleaning up afterwards (most guys don't bother; we provide paper towels), lube if you have a favorite kind (we provide plenty of water-based lube), and a non-alcoholic beverage. You'll put your clothes in a bag, give it to the attendant, and head into the playroom! (the floors get pretty messy, so most guys keep their shoes on).
Jacks rules don't allow any kind of contact with anyone's asshole, including your own so if it's a butt toy - sorry - ya gotta leave it at home. Cock toys: sleeves, pumps, those flashlight-like things etc, are just fine. As long as is doesn't violate our guidlines for safe play feel free to bring along whatever toys you enjoy and show'em off and share'em with the guys.
SEX! HOT, SWEATY, SLIPPERY, HAIRY, GREASY, ECSTATIC, NOISY, PLAYFUL, PASSIONATE, DICK-STROKING, CUM-SQUIRTING SEX!
How you participate in the party is entirely up to you: some guys dive right in and others just like to watch. Solos, pairs, threes, eights, twentys...Whatever turns you on is fine as long as you follow the basic guidelines (no cock-sucking, no anal anything).Most guys are a little nervous at their first party, but with our average attendence of 35-50 hot, horny, friendly men who want to help you to have a good time, you'll be covered in lube and you'll have a cock in each hand, some guy is playing with your balls and two guys are taking turns stroking your prick, and this hot man just shot his load all over your chest and...you're not nervous at all! Parties usually last about two hours, and are relaxed, friendly, and hot!
