YNOT – For its 10th annual incarnation, Darklady’s Masturbate-a-thon will receive new digs in Portland, Ore., and a new date.Previous hosted by the dark diva during National Masturbation Month each May, this year’s soiree — themed “A Decade of Decadence” — will occur June 12 at the stylish Hawthorne Boulevard nightclub 720. The event typically attracts 250-300 guests from a multitude of sexual, social, professional and personal backgrounds.

“720 is a truly impressive-looking club, with a classy and decidedly sexy black-and-red-leather-couch lounge atmosphere, complete with brass stripper poles,” ringleader, writer and professional provocateur Darklady said. “It’s like nothing my guests have enjoyed during past Portland Masturbate-a-thons. The best part is that you’re guaranteed to be spending time with some of the nicest, most interesting people you’ll ever hope to meet, learning about and sampling some of the most innovative erotic stimulation devices on the market today, and helping worthy sex-positive causes, both locally and nationally. It’s definitely a win-win for everyone involved.”

A percentage of the door — in addition to all silent-auction funds raised and hygiene, household, pet- and people-food donations collected during the event — will benefit Esther’s Pantry, the Woodhull Freedom Foundation and the newly formed adult consumer-focused non-profit, the Free Speech Alliance.

Sponsors, silent-auction donors, DJs, performers and anyone interested in contributing to and/or participating in the 10th Annual Portland Masturbate-a-thon may email Darklady for details.
