You know we never miss an opportunity to dance our faces off surrounded by thousands of sexy mens. And we also love the chance to give a little something back to the community (not THAT kind of something!). So why not take advantage of this exclusive opportunity to attend White Party 2012 AND support AIDS/LifeCycle?! Deets after...

Team Instinct is hard at work training and fundraising (and slipping into very tight bike shorts) for this year's AIDS/LifeCycle, and with exactly 100 days to go until day one, the heat is officially on! But whether or not you're participating in this year's ride, you can still get involved and help us ride to end AIDS. Follow the jump and find out how...

Before we "officially" unveil our highly anticipated February Swimsuit Issue of Instinct this week, our senior associate editor, Jeff Katz, sat down with the gang at "Gay Sunday Brunch" to chat about the new hottie cover guy, tough-talking lesbians and more! Follow the jump to get the goods.

If you check out this here Instinct blog on the daily (which you betta!), then you surely have seen an increase in our AIDS/LifeCycle coverage lately. But not only were the NorCal and SoCal Kickoff Parties this past weekend, but there’s also some big ALC news to share... 

All right, we've given you five extra days, but alas, it is time to start getting to those resolutions! (Because starting on Jan. 1 is so cliche.) Need help? Of course! Who has your back? Instinct, natch.

Head over to our Web Exclusives page and check out our five tips, tricks and products to help keep you motivated all 2012 long. Our "Get In The Resolution" feature is live and online here!

Apparently you stylish Instincters have been loving our Team Instinct AIDS/LifeCycle jerseys as much as we have because we’ve been inundated with requests on how and where to get your own! Well, in honor of the 10th ALC ride, and thanks to our jersey manufacturer Jakroo, you now can! Find out how after the jump.

A red ribbon made out of 15,000 square-feet of plastic tarp was staked to the eastern slope of San Francisco's Twin Peaks on Sunday to mark the upcoming 30th anniversary of the AIDS epidemic, and to serve as a reminder of the spreading disease. Details and finished shot after the jump—plus one way for you to help commemorate the occasion.

Aside from Team Instinct (natch), ALC organizers have named this year’s celebrity spokesrider, along with another familiar face, for the upcoming 2011 ride. Gets the deets after the jump...
