Lax Jacks 2026
- September 12, 2026 – September 26, 2026
- Los Angeles, CA
LAX Jacks 2026 continues a long Los Angeles tradition of men gathering in a private, respectful space to celebrate self pleasure in company. While the city’s queer calendar is packed with pride marches, leather weekends and festivals, these more intimate gatherings have quietly been part of the landscape for decades. There is no rainbow parade or DJ stage here, just a roomy warehouse in downtown Los Angeles, dim lighting, a sense of mutual understanding and a shared appreciation for men who enjoy masturbating together. It is not a one off festival either. The club meets several times a week all year long, and the 2026 season shows no sign of slowing down.
Unlike most events on this site, LAX Jacks does not happen over a single weekend. In 2026 the organisers plan a series of sessions throughout the year, with a cluster of dates in late summer. September sees midday gatherings on Friday 12 and Friday 19 from noon until 2 p.m., an early evening session on Sunday 14 at 5 p.m., a Tuesday night meet on the 16th from 7 p.m., and another Friday session on the 26th. These aren’t the only opportunities to attend – there are regular meetings every Friday and Sunday and every other Tuesday – but they give a sense of the pattern. Tickets are sold in advance and the exact address is sent by email after registration. Doors close one hour before the end time, so it pays to arrive early and settle in.
Because the club is built around respect and consent, the organisers keep membership numbers limited and enforce a simple code of conduct. Men over 18 are welcome regardless of body type, race, orientation or experience level, but cameras, phones and even casual filming are not allowed. You can bring a trial pass for $35 if you’re visiting from out of town or just testing the waters, or commit to an annual membership which costs around $50 and reduces entry fees. Early‑bird tickets for each session are usually $20 and general admission after the early‑bird sells out is $25. You will need to show photo identification at the door. The rules encourage participants to look after each other, to respect personal boundaries and to understand that anyone making others uncomfortable will be asked to leave. Watching without participating is perfectly acceptable; there is no pressure to perform and no one keeps score.
Logistically, the space feels more like a club house than a nightclub. The warehouse is tucked away in a nondescript part of downtown with on‑street parking outside, and the organisers set out comfortable seating and mats around the room. Lighting is kept low to create a relaxed ambience, and soft music plays in the background. Ninety lockers are available for clothes and valuables, though large bags are discouraged because space is limited. There are two restrooms with showers, so participants can freshen up if needed, and bottles of water, light snacks and tins of Albolene are provided. It’s a good idea to bring your own towel and lube if you have specific preferences. As of autumn 2024 vaccinations are no longer required for entry, but masks are welcome if they make you feel more comfortable.
People often ask how a masturbation club survived for this long in a city obsessed with trends and appearance. LAX Jacks has its roots in the Jack‑In groups of the 1980s, when men who were tired of bars and bathhouses started organising jack‑off nights in private homes. Those gatherings grew into regular events in San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles, eventually inspiring clubs around the world. While some of the early venues disappeared during the AIDS crisis, LAX Jacks kept going by insisting on safety, health and communication. Over the years the club has influenced similar gatherings as far away as London and Sydney. The 2026 season marks yet another chapter in that story, showing that there is still demand for honest, no‑frills spaces where men can be themselves without judgement.
What draws people back year after year is the sense of camaraderie. The sessions start quietly as men undress and get used to the room, with some choosing to chat while others stretch out on benches and pillows. Slowly the mood shifts; laughter erupts, hands wander and groups form and dissolve without fuss. There are no stages, no competitions, no “stars”, just a shared understanding that pleasure is both a personal and a collective experience. Newcomers are often nervous at first, but it doesn’t take long to realise that there is no expectation to do anything you don’t want to. Some attend just to watch and soak up the atmosphere; others enjoy helping a stranger relax with a slow stroke and whispered encouragement. If at any point you need a break, there is always space to step aside, chat with someone, sip water or simply sit in the dim light and breathe.
