I work every Valentine's Day, and even if I didn't, I'm not sure I'd ever venture out on such a charged day as that. Still, I know other braver, more social souls, and for all of them/you, here are just a few of the more unique options for Valentine's events that have caught my attention.
In San Francisco: My Sucky Valentine
Love sex hate romance, anyone? Now in its 15th year, erotica/horror writer Thomas Roche's annual performance event My Sucky Valentine constitutes a wholesale assault on Love American Style, bringing bitter Valentine's Day rebels the literary abuse they crave! Expect sordid tales of love gone wrong, sex gone bad, romance gone to hell!
In New York: "Valentines with Robots"
From computer-interfaced sex toys to sperm-inspired nanobots, our sexual lives are filled with elements out of yesteryear's speculative fiction. Technology and sexuality have always been inextricably linked, so come out for a witty and wild multimedia presentation by Laura G. Duncan about high tech sex, including examples from science fiction, the medical sciences and DIY sexual robotics.
In Toronto: Erotic Arts and Crafts Fair
It's the fourth year for this one-of-a-kind sexy fair that brings together artists and crafters just in time for Valentine's Day. Knitters, crafters, zinesters, card makers, and artists of all types will be creating erotic objects for this one-day celebration of DIY sex and romantic culture.
Multiple Cities: Sex with the Animals
The San Francisco Zoo has been doing this for 21 years, and lots of other zoo's have got into the act offering adult only tours of the zoo with a focus on sexual activities and mating rituals of the captive creatures. Check out your nearest zoo website.
