Researched and revealed in my Chronicle/SF Gate column this week: Hot spots to have sex in the city (“IKEA is so last year. Violet Blue serves up sizzling locales for sex”). If you’re coming to town for Folsom at the end of the month this might be a good one to remember; I also especially weighted it toward geeks and design freaks. It’s a fun, lighthearted piece (with a loving nod to that fab 71 Miles list). Enjoy, and here’s a snip:
Maybe it’s that your roommates are tired of your Hitachi Magic Wand vibrating their collectibles off their IKEA curio shelves. Or that when you get that dish of the day (or night) home to your thinly-walled San Francisco Victorian, you’re worried your elderly neighbors will dial in a domestic violence call once you tear off the trou and the games begin. Perhaps you just want to get out of the house to get it on — and this time it’s special. Not just any waterfront condo construction site near AT&T Park or parking garage behind Hooters will do.
No, you’ve got your hottie in what Forbes named this year’s No. 1 U.S. city for singles, and we’ve got some of the sexiest places to get it on this side of Paris. But like everything in the city (especially related to sex), alt locations for alt sex come in a rainbow of flavors. Lube up your Google Maps, and set yourself up for a hot night in.
Make a romantic getaway — in town
Every Sunday closest to the full moon, there’s a prix-fixe full moon romantic vegan feast for two at Millennium — also offering an entire five-course aphrodisiac package (including that room you’ll need to get to right away after dining) in conjunction with the upstairs neighbor, the Hotel California.
The Chateau Tivoli Bed & Breakfast Inn, situated near Alamo Square’s famous painted ladies, is considered one of the most romantic B&Bs in town, but that might be from local legends that suggested the park was astrologically ruled by the planet Venus (“A Guide to Mysterious San Francisco” calls the park “The Temple of Venus”).
One of the more stunningly gorgeous and utterly Asian-sexy-modern rooms can be found at the Mandarin Oriental.

*** Yes, I’m not the only one who is tired of seeing personal attacks in the comments. I got a nice email this morning from a reader who expressed sympathy and frustration. I’ve mentioned to my editor that I’d like to see SF Gate adopt a stricter comment policy, keeping comments on topic, and not just to attack the writer. It’s starting to look like Digg in there, if you know what I mean, and that’s not good for anyone. It’s not just my column (or me) that gets savaged like this, it’s across the board (I’ve been watching). But I get special treatment from the haters because I write about the sex. You know. Long gone are my hopes of seeing comments from people who recommend places I overlooked, forgot or didn’t know about.
