INTRODUCTION:
I still think a great deal about Manifest4U, mainly because It was one of the few Atlanta clubs that I seriously enjoyed, and one where I felt really welcome. The first thing I noticed about Manifest4U was that it doesn't feel shy about gay men knowing each other beyond conversation. I remember walking in the first time and getting hit by the sound of men getting it on (I was late to the party) and immediately feeling like I was in the right place. In my own case, I didn't spend more than an hour on my own, because I landed onto a fine man that I spent the rest of the night with. The club itself isn't too surprising on the inside; you'll find sexy lamps and sexy wallpaper and sexy darkness. I hadn't checked out the website first, so I didn't know what to expect. Still, I wasn't too shocked. The club itself had a number of facilities available, but I didn't expect it not to have a spa or pool. Well, it didn't, but the party went on nicer than expected. I left my first party determined to come back, because I hadn't felt that safe in a gay sex club before, or turned on. Other clubs always triggered fear in me, fear or being seen, fear of being recorded getting intimate, fear of contracting disease. Not this one. I came out feeling brighter and lighter than I'd entered. I have been back a couple of times, thanks to a membership fee of around $25, and each time has been better than the last. The club sure has an audience, because I've never found it empty or half full. Seems like gay men sure do like to get busy with each other.
ABOUT:
Manifest4U is what you get when you ask for a gay sex club for men that's classy, clean and not a bathhouse, and where men can meet without using apps and websites and cruising forums. Started in 2009, Manifest4U has been in business for over 10 years now, switching owners only once. The sex club was started by its founders with the desire to create a platform where men that enjoy the company of other men could meet, talk, and 'enjoy' each other. The initial founder wanted a platform that didn't base on apps and websites and forums to make people meet but wanted one where conversation and getting to know one another was a real chance. The club's management insists that it doesn't look to make profits out of the club as a result of this funding decision, and instead, profits from service sales are donated to gay-affirming charities and foundations in Atlanta and Georgia. Manifest4U is decidedly not a night club, even though its uses the 'club' title. The Club in its name might as well refer to its group of members, which is always growing and having fun. In fact, the club does not have any of the features a usual Atlanta night club would have - a dance floor, a bar, alcohol and more. The club also features no wet areas - bathrooms, spas, tubs, pools or anything like a bathhouse would have and informs guests clearly of that on the website. Manifest4U is also one of the more affordable gay sex clubs in town, and one whose membership is easier to get.
