Spring is in the air — how else to explain the uptick in the moods of our neighborhood flyboys and meter maids? Not to mention those high-waisted short-shorts the young people are sporting. I say, since May through July’s gonna be foggy anyways, let’s call it summer. So let’s get to lovin’ people, people. Here’s your sex events to-do list this week.
“Marks” by Aaron Nagel
Ironic as though it may sound, pedophilic priests have dealt the Catholic church a massive blow when it comes to its relationship with sexy imagery. But were we to move past their nefarious dealings, we would remember that the blood, the stylistic posings, the virgin/slut paradox — these things are hot. Aaron Nagel recalls the fact with his current exhibition, comprised of brooding female nudes ensconced in saint-like, archery themed poses.

Deep Throat and the Art of Oral Sex
Has he been a good boy recently?

“Keep your Relationship Spark Alive”
God bless the Gay Couples Institute for giving homosexuals the chance to get as neurotic as straights- under professional supervision, of course.

Plus, adult refreshments on the house. Advance registration recommended.

Intergenerational Story Circle: “Gender Identity and Roles in a Changing World”
Leave it to the Unitarians to throw together an all-inclusive ponder session on the state of our social-sexual psyches today. This month’s story circle focuses on how we’re defining gender these days- what it means to be a “man,” a “woman,” or a “transsexual” and how/if that’s different from our ideal roles. Feel free to use air quotations and the word “paradigm.”
Sun/28 12:30- 1:45 p.m., free
Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists
1924 Cedar, Berkeley

Alice in Wonderland
Besides being a big, voluptuous romp in the mind of Lewis Carroll/Disney/Tim Burton (can you imagine a more twisted wonderland?), this Alice oozes sexual innuendo. She escapes the embarrassingly vanilla fumbles of her would-be fiancée to strike up an is-it-real frisson with her “friend,” Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter. To show an actual affair between the two would be literary infidelity- and crazy! But we’re all mad here…
In various Bay area theaters

Boots
Nothing like a man who can really stomp around. This continuation of the legendary leather bar’s legacy throws a fab fete for the underclothed burlies, with a bootblack on duty, of course. It’s sponsored by Stompers Boots, SF’s- no, make that America’s- sexiest bootery. Love the shop local spirit. Get you down to Folsom Street, young stud.
Sat/27 10 p.m. (go-go studs start @ 11:30 p.m.), free
