We thank everyone who attended our October 20th Bears in Excess. It was a great afternoon with over 200 guys!
December is practically here, and we have two events. Our December edition of Chubs takes place on Sunday, Dec 1st at Toronto’s Spa Excess.
🔥What: CHUBS AT THE TUBS
📍Where: Spa Excess @ 105 Carlton St (Toronto)
🗓 When: Sunday, December 1, 2024
⏰Time: 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Special World AIDS Day / ACT
This Chubs coincides with World AIDS Day. We are very happy to have Rui Pires as our guest. He will give three workshops in the lounge of Spa Excess.
First, at 1:00 p.m., Rui will talk about HIV today and the risks from a queer male perspective. It has not gone away. In Toronto, one out of four queer guys you meet on the street is likely living with HIV. If the person you are interested in has a viral load of 200 or below, they cannot transmit HIV. Did you know this?
Then at 2:00 p.m., the subject will be about Better Fucking. Explore three techniques about how to fuck without hurting yourself or the other person. If time allows, he will also talk a little about fisting.
Finally, at 3:00 p.m., Rui will discuss Oral Sex – Use Your Head While Giving it. It is the second most popular sexual activity out there (and no, we don’t mean kissing). Two topics will be discussed: what to look out for and how to make it safer. If time allows, he can talk about rimming too.
Rui Pires is an ACT’s Gay Men’s Educator. He has been working in the HIV field for the past 35 years in southern Ontario. His experience includes both front-line and management roles.
The AIDS Committee of Toronto, otherwise known as ACT (actoronto.org/), was founded in the summer of 1983. It was a response to the hysteria surrounding an unknown illness. Since then, ACT has grown to be Canada’s largest HIV service organization. They are a sexual and mental health service organization supporting those living with or at risk of HIV.
Marco and Steve will be there!
Our friends Marco Antonio Garcia and Steve Catano, from Vida Spa & Wellbeing (facebook.com/MarcoGarciaEspecialistaFIN), will once again be there. They will help relax you, unwind you, and rejuvenate you with a 10-minute chair massage. This is available for just $10!
About our event
Get there before 10:30 a.m. (YES THAT EARLY) to snag a room. If you’re late, you’ll be given a locker and added to a waiting list. The fun officially starts at 1 p.m. and it runs till 6 p.m. There are 50% off locker coupons available. You can download it here: https://bit.ly/46cctXX
When you arrive, you’ll be greeted with a choice: a private room or a secure locker. After collecting your keys and a towel, you can discover the facilities. You could dress in your towel, a jockstrap, or nothing at all. The Spa doesn’t offer flip-flops. There are some available for sale at our table in the lounge. Limited sizes are available. Come take a look.
If you’d like someone to show you around, please ask for Eric. We’ll gladly give you an all-access tour.
At 3:30 p.m., we will have complimentary sandwiches in the lounge, courtesy of Spa Excess. Don’t forget to pick up your Spunk Lube sample at the lounge table!
