I'm 18 and i've been very curious about going to a gay bath house. I'm just wondering what its like. I'm thinking about going to steamworks in toronto.
Secondhand experience tells me they're gross and generally undesirable. But as always, your mileage may vary.
Dante's seventh ring of Hell! The fantasy is far better than the reality. If you're lucky the only thing you'll pick up is athlete's foot.
Don't know Toronto's scene, but from what I heard of the bathhouses in Indy, don't go to them unless you want to have sex. And they are pretty scuzzy. And you are at risk for being roofied, and then gang raped. I wouldn't go alone if you do go.
I had to look up this word. That assumes a person would buy a drink, or worse yet, have someone scuzzy and who they didn't know buy them a drink. My thought with any LGBT establishment is that, because they can be located in seedy or industrial areas, the thing that a person has to do is sort of be wary of their surroundings as they go from their car or their transportation to these places and back. As for the sex part, it would be no different than a pick up at a bar or what you'd do at home with someone you knew. It depends on the sex, how safe it is, and how you protect yourself. If you're looking for a yes or no, I'm going to pass on that and let others give you their opinion. My only concern for you is going to and from these establishments, especially at night.
from what i heard its a 100% place for just fast hook ups and doing nasty things with strangers they wouldn't even waste time getting to know you if thats your thing or your just going to do your thing and get out of their its ok every person have their own life i wont judge you for any of it go for it if its your thing and it wouldn't make you uncomfortable as for me i hate those places the only place i like if i ever want to hook up is a club at least i get to dance with that person have a drink and then hook up !
If you are looking for random encounters, then just go to websites geared towards those activities. At least, then you can take some control of the situation and know what to expect. Don't look for sex in places where you will be extremely vulnerable. People get crafty this days. I've heard of people putting drugs in their mouths and transferring them to others through kissing. Not to mention, if there are multiple people or you are not very muscular, then they won't need drugs to make you comply.
didn't know about the mouth transferring part.... i got to be careful with that one. it depends on the situation that the bathhouse is in. try to make it a habit of looking into reviews of places like that, especially "gay bathhouses". it could be dangerous considering the amount of bacteria and increased health risk the place might have. also not every straight guy walks into a "gay bathhouse" on purpose, look at the wrong person and you might get into trouble. they can even have strict rules on that. the idea might seem enticing but the experience might prove otherwise.
avoid even thinking about it honey cause really all sort of bad stuff come from places like these dont do it to regret it later :icon_sad:
for someone who saw queer as folk anything is possible yes i remember the bathhouse men there seems to be out of mind and never thinking about what are they doing just wild animals getting pleasure so yes i dont think its urban legend its possible and scary to even think about it :icon_sad:
I'm being a little dramatic. He's not that close of a friend (I haven't talked to him in a while anyways), but I know he went to a few bath houses and then a few months later he told me he had HIV. I'm making a bit of an assumption on that leap. He was never much of a slut so... I was surprised when he told me he went to them! Anyways, I know most have condoms, but it's still a bit skeezy. Honestly I'd like to go to one! But the head on my shoulders rules the head below my shoulders for now!
