You'd think that after all these years we'd be a little more blasé about events like the annual Masturbate-A-Thon sponsored by San Francisco's illustrious Center For Sex And Culture, but what can we say—the concept of a bunch of folks getting together to whack it for a good cause still tickles us in all the right places. This year, the festivities promise to be even more splashy with an eight-hour live event coming at you from the "Porn Palace" headquarters of Kink.com which you can attend live if you're lucky enough to find yourself South of Market this Saturday or follow along from home via a live broadcast to see competitors go mano-a-mano in an attempt to break records for endurance, longest squirt distance (male and female), and most orgasms. Best of all, you can sign up to be a participant yourself and get your friends and family to sponsor you as you jerk and moan your way to a better tomorrow. After all, it's the sort of thing that everybody does anyway—why not have something to show for it afterwards besides a few soiled Kleenexes and a craving for a post-orgasm cigarette or two?
