Calling all Sex Pigs and Party Boys…

Into having a regular weekend group sex session with no strings attached? Like your chems? Interested in having your sexual limits pushed? Fascinated by things like electro-play, fisting and water sports (to name just a few play scenarios)? Are Crisco and vinyl examination gloves the first things on your fortnightly shopping list? Chances are you could fit quite nicely into the sex pig scene.

The Perth sex pig party boy scene is very underground – cloak and dagger messages through the internet, private parties at suburban homes replete with slings and accoutrements. This makes the protocols around this kind of play difficult to fathom for newbies. With rises in syphilis, LGV and shigella in these scenes, trying to work out what is safe play and what is not is even more challenging.

The truth is the Perth GLBTIQ general community as a whole doesn’t know much about this subculture, or when and where these gatherings take place. In the eastern states, it is a little more structured with venues that cater for the esoteric tastes of sex pigs and party boys. Melbourne has Megafist once a month, Sircuit does theme nights that bring together the fraternity and the Laird Hotel has its Spit and Polish night every Thursday. Headquarters in Sydney has regular postings about up-and-coming events.

So what is a potential sex pig or party boy to do in our sleepy little town? That is what we at the WA AIDS Council are trying to find out. We have always been sex positive in our approach, dealing with issues of safe sex and harm reduction on a ‘as is’ not a ‘should be’ basis.

Hence, we are inviting people from the sex pig and party boy community to have your say in a forum, to hear what services and resources you think are important to your needs and how we could potentially help meet these needs. You are the experts and we need your input that is specific to the particular nature of a Western Australian scene.

Look out early next year for the forum dates and a call to action. We need your expertise and we are not afraid to ask for it.
