The Sling, 926 Natoma between 10th & 11th, 415-985-7085.
http://www.theslingsf.com/ Watersports and fisting. Natoma is basically an alley that runs between 10th and 11th. Mission and Howard are the main streets that run parallel to Natoma. The owner sometimes logs on the Efnet IRC as sfnasty. I've never been here. The look of the alley at night alone is scary enough for me.

Mack, 1285 Folsom near 9th, Taste of Leather next door. open 6pm. A customer says he personally tested the sling to be sure it would withstand heavy use. It does. $15 admission. Entrance is a black door underneath the number "1285" There are no signs. Back after a two year absence.

Club 220, 220 Jones near Eddy St. 415-673-3384 Comments from www.squirt.org "There is a theater on the main floor that shows the latest gay porn and every couple hours there is a live show. Downstairs there is a backroom that shows old 70's porn, the 'Arena', which is a smaller stage where they have lives shows at. There is about 10-15 video booths, most of them have glory holes in them. And there is a shower room with lockers. The guys there range from all ages and backgrounds. Almost every time that I have been here, I have gotten some action." A buddy of OralMarin reports that "www.pornteam.com my company sponsors an after hours party there every Friday night."

333 Linden St in SF. Newer sex venue near the Castro for public and private gatherings. Entry is $10-12, plus $10 membership for 6 months. More info at http://www.333linden.com
