Sex has a way of spilling out over other aspects of our lives; so too, it draws everything into its realm. Since we are coming up onto the season of romance - the main time of year for displaying, effusively, your love, devotion and passion to your significant other - we thought we'd take a look, as purveyors of things sexual, at the place of love and romance in our sex lives. learn more- fall 1998, no 6

Previously merely a worker, as of last August, Sarah Forbes-Roberts has become a member of the worker co-op at Come As You Are! (We're so glad she's stayed around, and if you've met her in the store, you probably are too!) While we are a for-profit company, one of the reasons we organized as a worker co-operative was that, in our own way, each of us is more than a little uncomfortable with traditional ways of doing business. So when it comes to the holiday season, we're torn. learn more- summer 1998, no 5

Even before we opened Come As You Are people were asking us about our web site. Many suggested that we should skip the whole idea of an actual store and go straight to virtual reality.

For decades, bathhouses have been a fixture in the gay male sexual landscape. learn more- winter 1997, no, 3

Okay, we can't deny it anymore, winter is on its way. The bad news: it's getting cold outside. The good news: we spent our summer thinking of super hot things to do this winter (actually it was really just hot things to do over the summer, but we got so busy that most of our ideas didn't see the light of day till now). So here's our winter newsletter complete with great gift ideas for the holidays and more. learn more- summer 1997, no 2

When we got together to start this second newsletter we had a great debate over what should go in this section. One idea was to feature sex type news stories, profiles about new happenings in the world of sex. Another was to make this a forum to put back out ideas that customers have given us and ask for others input on the future direction of the store, our workshops, and our mandate. learn more- spring 1997, no 1
