LAX Jacks 2025
Downtown Los Angeles has many nightlife venues, but few have the underground mystique of LAX Jacks. This members club started in the 1980s when a handful of men decided they wanted a space where masturbation could be celebrated rather than hidden. Their solution was a low‑key warehouse outfitted with leather sofas, mattresses and even a glory‑hole wall, and they laid down a set of rules to keep everyone comfortable. Forty years on, the club is still going strong and its calendar remains packed. Instead of a single weekend festival, LAX Jacks runs two to three sessions every week, and 2025 sees the group expanding its schedule with special themed evenings and midday “cum‑and‑go” meet‑ups.
### A club built around masturbation
LAX Jacks describes itself as a traditional jack‑off club: a space where men who enjoy being naked and masturbating with others can do so in a respectful environment. Membership is open to anyone over 18 who agrees to the club’s code of conduct and feels comfortable in a male‑only space. Annual membership costs $50, and attending individual sessions is normally $20 for early‑bird tickets or $25 once early‑bird spots sell out. For visitors from outside California or anyone curious about the club, trial tickets are available for around $35. The club also offers discounted memberships for students and men under 25. Once you have registered for an event, the exact address and entry details are emailed to you – a reminder that privacy is one of the club’s founding principles.
The warehouse space itself is designed for comfort rather than spectacle. Lighting is kept dim, there are plenty of sofas and mats, and you will find small details like lockable lockers, showers and complimentary snacks and water. LAX Jacks encourages guests to bring their own towels and lube, though tubs of Albolene and paper towels are scattered around. There is on‑street parking near the building and staff on hand to answer questions. It feels more like a members‑only social club than a nightclub, and that’s intentional: the founders wanted a place where men could explore their sexuality without the pressure of performance or pick‑up culture.
### Calendar of events in 2025
The organisers plan sessions year‑round, and 2025 is no exception. Every Friday and Sunday there is a standard event, usually lasting around two and a half hours. Friday meetings tend to start at midday or 9 p.m., while the Sunday sessions run from 5 p.m. until roughly 7.30 p.m. In addition, every other Tuesday there is an evening meet‑up from about 7 p.m. to 9.30 p.m., which is popular with members who work weekends. The club occasionally adds special editions – one example is the “LAX SUCKS” event scheduled for Friday 5 December, a four‑hour session where consensual oral play is permitted. On Sunday 7 December and again on Tuesday 9 December, the regular evening sessions take place, and another lunchtime meet‑up is slated for Friday 12 December. These dates illustrate how the club organises its calendar rather than representing the entire year. Subscribers to the mailing list receive notifications as new sessions are added and can plan accordingly.
If you haven’t attended before, aim to arrive early. The doors close one hour before the end of the Sunday and Tuesday events (that means 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. respectively) and thirty minutes before the Friday lunch events. Showing up late is frowned upon both because it disrupts the atmosphere and because the warehouse operates on a strict schedule to respect members’ time. Tickets often sell out, especially for special events, so book ahead.
### Rules and etiquette
LAX Jacks’ code of conduct is lengthy, but the central point is that sessions are “JO only” – this is a masturbation club, not a sex party. Permitted activities include self‑pleasure, consensual mutual masturbation and friendly body contact such as frottage and C2C (penis‑to‑penis rubbing). Oral or anal contact below the waist is never allowed; nothing should go inside anyone’s body and docking is prohibited. The club also asks guests to strip down to a single layer (jockstrap, underwear or T‑shirt) and always wear footwear. Hats and fetish gear are welcome, but nudity beyond the waist is the norm.
Consent is at the heart of the LAX Jacks experience. You must ask before touching another man’s body or kissing him, and everyone has the right to say no. Mobile phones are not permitted; the club is designed to be a private space where members can relax without worrying about photos or their identity being disclosed. Hygiene is also important. Organisers ask that you arrive freshly showered, brush your teeth and avoid wearing fragrance. Hands should be washed at the beginning of every session and any semen must be cleaned up immediately. LAX Jacks events are drug‑ and alcohol‑free; even showing up intoxicated will get you turned away. Poppers are permitted, but members are expected to look after themselves and the space.
### The social atmosphere
What makes LAX Jacks unique is the sense of camaraderie that develops when thirty to fifty men gather with the same goal. Sessions are often described as meditative or even therapeutic – a place to let go of shame, laugh, talk openly and watch others without judgement. The FAQ section on the club’s website notes that there is usually a minimum of 30–50 guys per session and a database of over 2,000 members in Los Angeles. Because the environment is deliberately non‑competitive, there’s no pressure to perform or to follow any particular body type. Regulars range from twentysomethings discovering their sexuality to older men who’ve been coming for decades. If you aren’t sure whether this scene is for you, you can buy a one‑off trial pass before committing to a membership.
The organisers try to keep the mood mellow. Talking is allowed, but loud conversations are discouraged so as not to distract others. Hot talk is welcome, but gossiping about politics or current affairs is better left outside. Volunteers ensure the space stays clean, answer questions and remind members of the rules when necessary. If you want to continue the evening afterwards, there are bars and bathhouses a short walk away, but inside the warehouse the focus is squarely on masturbation.
### Preparing for your visit
Planning your first LAX Jacks session is straightforward. Go to the club’s website, click on the events page and choose a date that suits you. Register with a valid email address and pay for your ticket; you’ll receive detailed directions once your payment is confirmed. Bring a government‑issued ID for verification at the door. The club suggests bringing your own towel and lube, although some is provided on site. Leave valuables at home – there are only small lockers available. Street parking is usually available, but if you’re coming late at night consider using a rideshare or taxi.
Those travelling from out of state should plan ahead. The warehouse is in downtown LA, close to public transit, but you won’t know the exact address until after you register. If you plan to attend multiple sessions during your stay, a full membership might make sense because of the discounted per‑event price. The club welcomes men of all backgrounds, including trans men who feel comfortable in a male‑only space; however, everyone must be at least 18. Vaccination against COVID‑19 is no longer required as of October 2022, though masks are allowed if that helps you feel at ease. If you fall sick before the session, stay home and email the organisers – they will help you transfer your ticket to another date.
### Why 2025 will be special
LAX Jacks has always adjusted its calendar in response to demand, and 2025 promises more variety than previous years. Alongside the regular Friday, Sunday and Tuesday sessions, the December schedule includes an evening where the usual JO‑only rule is relaxed to permit oral play for those who opt in. More themed nights are expected later in the year, such as underwear parties and fundraising events for HIV charities. As the club continues to grow its membership, expect to see larger crowds and new faces. If you’re curious about a social, sex‑positive environment that centres self‑pleasure and mutual respect, LAX Jacks 2025 might be the perfect place to dip your toe in – or, in keeping with their rules, to avoid dipping anything in anyone at all.
