Andrea Gómez's Questions for the Newspaper El Español
How did the idea for the association come about?
It all started in 2013 when a friend and I had the idea to create the blog tecnicasdemasturbacion.com, with the intention of breaking the taboo of masturbation, and in 2015 we started bringing together men with similar ideas about mutual and/or shared masturbation. After the success of the meetings, in 2018, we went to the United States, aware of the existence of several mutual masturbation clubs, New York and San Francisco are home to two venerable Jacks clubs, (established in 1980 and 1983) that were born as a result of the deadly AIDS virus. This model has been imitated and spread. There we were advised to bring it to our country, currently with locations in Madrid, and a small group in Bilbao. After much reflection, aware of the stir it would cause, I dare to use social media to share something that men have been doing, when our sexual awakening led us to share mutual masturbation with our friends, using the means we had at hand like magazines or VHS videos that were very difficult to obtain, and we never questioned whether that was of one sexual orientation or another. After a past pandemic where people practiced sex through a screen.In March 2022, I opened Spain's first handjob club, pajasentrecolegas.es
What do the sessions consist of?
In our masturbation club, we eliminate the need to search for sexual partners, discuss or disclose HIV status, or negotiate safe sex parameters. There is no need to find a willing host or meet strangers to hang out with new playmates.There is no need to drink or do drugs. No need to worry about sexually transmitted infections. No need for condoms or appropriate lubricant. There is not even a significant difference here between gay, bisexual, and heterosexual. It is a club of men for men.We have a very strict and mandatory code of conduct. Masturbation is the main activity, including solo caresses, in pairs, and in groups of three or more. The events are fluid, with some members playing for a while in different areas of the room and with different partners. Men are drawn to connections that attract them and always respect each individual's preferences. Once registered, members store their belongings in a locker or have them checked by an assistant when overflow is expected.
How do you access them?
Pajas entre Colegas is a private club and all club events and activities are restricted to active members only.
Is there any selection criteria or can anyone who pays the price access?
Fortunately, club membership is affordable, available to all adult men through our website, where you can purchase it from €10 per month to €300 per year. However, we offer a trial membership option “Quiero Probar”, which is an excellent way for men visiting from out of town, or for those who are curious but not ready to commit, to register for any PeC event online or at the counter. This subscription makes you a club member for a single day. Therefore, technically you would be participating as a member, although you automatically cease to be one at the end of the day.
How many spots are available per session?
Currently at our Madrid location, we have a capacity of 20 men.
Is the price always the same or does it vary depending on the encounter?
The subscription price varies depending on the type of membership you choose. We have different options available to adapt to the needs and preferences of our members. Monthly flat rate: For €50 per month, you will have access to all our events for free. This subscription gives you the opportunity to enjoy all our activities at no additional cost.Annual flat rate: For €300 per year, you can access all events throughout the year at no additional charge. This option is ideal for those who wish to commit long-term and enjoy all the benefits of belonging to our community.Subscription for members aged 18 to 25: For younger members, we offer an annual subscription of €30, with an additional cost of €6 for each event they wish to attend. This special option is designed to facilitate access to our events for those in this age group.Monthly subscription: If you prefer a flexible option, you can choose the monthly subscription of €10 per month. Additionally, for each event you wish to attend, an additional cost of €12 will apply. This option allows you to enjoy the benefits of being a member of our community without a long-term commitment and cancel whenever you want.It is important to note that regardless of the rate chosen, you will have access to all the events we offer, ensuring you get a complete and enriching experience as a member of our community. No matter what choice you make, the value of your subscription translates into the opportunity to participate in our events, meet like-minded people, and enjoy unique experiences. Our priority is to provide our members with an unparalleled and satisfying experience, and we are confident they will find the perfect option.
What type of clients do you have?
We do not have any clients, they are members. Our commitment to inclusion and diversity is one of the key factors that makes our club work.Aside from the requirement to be an adult male (over 18 years old), we do not discriminate against anyone based on any subjective trait. We do not evaluate potential members based on age, race, ethnic origin, body type, fitness level, sexual orientation, or “perceived” sexual orientation.
This group never intended to satisfy all sexual desires; our focus is specific: to create a space where men can openly masturbate with other men. Two-thirds of our members identify as homosexual, while the remaining third is bisexual, heterosexual. That said, we support sexual positivity for everyone.
Ages?
Because we verify the age of each of our members based on legal identifications, we know it with some precision. The ages of our members range from 18 to 68 years old. Around a third of our members are between 20 and 30 years old and another third are between 40 and 50 years old. The average age of PeC members is about 32 years oldEach event is different in terms of the age and energy of the attendees, but virtually all our meetings include men in their twenties, thirties, forties, and fifties. Members in their sixties or older often appear. If a guy is really interested in masturbating with several men in a social and informal environment, he will find like-minded guys at Pajas entre Colegas and many will be of his age.
Attendance data for meetings?
This varies, but currently we have an average of 15 attendees at each event. Our play space can easily accommodate more than 25 guys.Our largest event to date attracted 50 members which was our maximum capacity, at the previous Madrid location.
Do you consider expanding to other areas of Spain, besides Basque Country?
Yes, in fact, our intention was to have opened a branch this spring in Barcelona and we do not rule out opening in all provinces.
What type of content is uploaded to onlyfans?
The content is not managed by our association, it is explicit sexual content, made by amateurs.

Are the sessions recorded and/or photographed?
NO, PeC understands that the privacy of each member is very important.We want every man to feel completely safe at our events, and keeping personal information strictly confidential is part of our commitment. While you can attend confidentially, we cannot legally allow anonymity. The use of mobile devices is not allowed in the playroom so all members must leave their phones in the locker.
I have seen that you have 2 blogs,
Yes, our blogs aim to convey to society that we all masturbate. 98% of adult men and 72% of adult women masturbate.It is a reality that is part of the life and habits of our society. Masturbation continues to be a topic that is not openly discussed on a widespread basis. Touching oneself to achieve orgasm, pleasure, sexual self-satisfaction is something very private. It has always been done, but it is not a behavior that is exhibited, until now it belonged to the realm of the intimate. The behavior of masturbation (like other topics such as all sex in old age), remains a taboo subject.
and that you also do casting for porn actors, I understand only for men, do you receive many applications?
Yes, we receive many applications, but as I mentioned before, we do not manage it from our association.
What is the policy on transgender individuals?
PeC welcomes anyone who identifies as a man, regardless of their physical appearance. 100% of PeC members are cisgender men. It is important to emphasize that all PeC members, including any man with a vagina, must respect the Code of Conduct, including the rules governing consent, mutual respect, and no penetration.We absolutely maintain our identification as a club for men.What we do not do is define what constitutes a man. We do not allow any person identified as a woman to register or participate in Pajas entre Colegas.
One last question, I saw that you were previously in Alcorcón but have moved to Argüelles, is it due to the venue or being in the center?
Our non-profit association works to end the taboo of masturbation. We were previously in Alcorcón, but we have moved to the center of Madrid for several reasons. The first is that the Alcorcón city council required us to have an opening license according to municipal regulations, while in Madrid capital we do not need it as we are a social entity.

The second reason is that our association was the target of hostility from some neighbors, who left hateful graffiti on the facade of our premises.Unfortunately, this situation also bothers the neighbors of our new location, DEMONSTRATING THAT THERE IS STILL MUCH TO DO
