San Francisco Gay Saunas & Cruising

Cruising is alive and well in gay San Francisco. The Californian city is by far the most creative in the country regarding cruising and alternative fetish communities. September's Folsom Street Fair exemplifies San Francisco's open-minded, adventurous, us, and free-loving community.

Sexy street fairs

The Folsom Street Fair is a massive leather and fetish street event that draws over 400,000 enthusiasts to its 13-city block area of historic Folsom Street every year. It features over 200 exhibitors, has a main stage full of erotic performances, and encourages nudity. The weekend of the fair turns SF into one of the most hedonistic and sexually liberating cities in the world.

In July, another street fair called Up Your Alley is billed as Folsom's "Dirty Little Brother." Nearly 15,000 BDSM enthusiasts attend the festival every year, but be warned, this festival prides itself as the filthiest event in the United States!
